NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[scenic cloak]

@jade briar

[jade briar]

There should be a gamename_d3d9.log as well

[scenic cloak]

Hmm the file doesn't exist somehow, at least I can't find any, even via the search

[jade briar]

ah okay

no worries

[open atlas]

Any chance on RTX particles being implemented for tires smoke?

[cloud crypt]

particles in underground2 or any blackbox nfs aint that easy

particles in underground 2 for example are multiple meshes

which then get scaled over time by the game engine

game engine also controls density, length etc etc

[trail quail]

Was that the v2 350z (crrent model I am fixing cause of the shading problems I am fixing) I saw in that video? If jt is still on Imma keep adding to thr model by continuing work on the textures and interior, intercooler etc...) Game is lookign great here btw

[trail quail]

Ok it is not v2 as I noticesd the splitters are low poly on v2 they have more polygons. but it is at least one of the newer models

ok I still have shadingissues to fix

these are the higher poly spligters

About to optimise the crap out of it as I want it as a folio piece too

[jade briar]

[vernal jolt]

what setting do i change in the alt x menu so i can see using rtx remix on UG2?

i cant see 10 feet in front of the vehicle. its like a big black square.

[jade briar]

Post screenshot

[vernal jolt]

@jade briar it fixed. got a little bit of a crash issue and response time for rtx to function between which dlss option it uses.

[jade briar]

Uhhh

What

[vernal jolt]

i reloaded the game @jade briar the issue did not repeat. however, the fmvs for the game will not load. (about the lighting or driving issue) it loaded like call of duty 2. could not see around any corner. next i think i see a bad contrast issue to dark from heavy lights. i will try to turn off fxaa in the nvidia menu and turn down contrast with rtx hdr.

[trail quail]

Always loved the lights

gunna hide the hood though as I need to work on internals

[solid star]

Is there any way to improve or increase the headlights’ illumination on settings? In some races, the dark spots make it really hard to see, sometimes I only notice a traffic vehicle when it’s like 2 feet in front of me. I don’t know if it’s a loading issue, but occasionally I crash into a car and suddenly the headlights light it up as if the car just "rendered"

[vernal jolt]

@trail quail very nice model

[jade briar]

Increase the brightness

It's the best way right now

[trail quail]

Ignore the mesh flow RN it is very wip

[sharp sinew]

Ew that edge flow, Ew omg

Looks fine dude, really cool stuff

Anyone gonna replace the car with my cod2 truck?

[jade briar]

Too new for a warzone

Might actually fit in nfs

[sharp sinew]

I painted it dirty after that, just CBA finding an updated image 🌯

[sharp sinew]

Got a 1920s car somewhere

🌯

Oh hang on you'd know that if you played my mod!

How could you?

[jade briar]

I haven't played anyones mods

You guess I...

cba

[sharp sinew]

Not cool man, you owe me a death match

Wanna get the remix regulars online in a match at some point

[jade briar]

Bet

[sharp sinew]

If only I had 10k dollars to get them cod2...

[jade briar]

But you'll have to join me on gmod deathmatch when I finish my cod weapons port mod

[sharp sinew]

bet

[jade briar]

These look so fucking good

mmmmmmmmmmmmm fffffff

[sharp sinew]

You ain't wrong

[jade briar]

I bet I can make a banger trailer for this mod.

[sharp sinew]

The translucent plastic, how you doing that? Refraction shader doesn't support roughness

[jade briar]

Hah

That took me a while to figure out

But here's how

It's a basic opaque material with transparency

And VERY importantly

You disable stochastic alpha blending in your remix blending settings

Stochastic alpha blend is the devil

It ruins all transparent things for

I don't even know what

[sharp sinew]

Oh that's well smart, saving that one for the future

Best use of rtx right there

[safe fossil]

For avoiding drawing things multiple times (overdraw) for performance reasons and not having to deal with depth sorting issues

[jade briar]

Either way, it turns my mags to poo

Look at this @sharp sinew

So much for performance savings

btw, the second gun isn't actually supposed to have a tranparent mag

[safe fossil]

It turns everything to poo yeah, sane transparency is not a solved issue

[jade briar]

I wish it was

[sharp sinew]

Those are quality mate, real well done

[jade briar]

#showcase

[sharp sinew]

Spot on, very pretty

[jade briar]

Thanks

[vernal jolt]

same issue repeats. RTX mod from 0.4 will not run fmvs for the game story in game. black screens but will play the audio file from the videos. any settings to change?

[vernal jolt]

0.4 is the only one available. is 0.4.7 listed to another website?

[jade briar]

It's 0.4.7z

.7z is the file format

[ember river]

u2rtx 0.4.8z when?

[jade briar]

[sharp sinew]

That's happened twice now

[vernal jolt]

the file, depending on the creator, would potentially be 0.4.1 or 0.5.0 in future release.

also having fmv issues on nfs undergorund as well. The map is breaking when i play nfs underground 2, and the help is appreciated! thanks! im not just full of complaints. Thisis nice work available with rtx remix!

[jade briar]

Uhm

FMVs

Probably need the textures to be marked as ui

Which requires me playing through the whole game

Maybe next release.

For now, when a fmv plays, you can go to the dev settings menu and mark the fmv texture as UI

[cloud crypt]

If you want i can do that

[jade briar]

Please do. Just make sure to use release 0.4

[cloud crypt]

ofcourse. latest release

so the config is the correct one

[jade briar]

Yes

[pallid river]

Unless you use Nvidia profile inspector revamped to change the RTX HDR quality to low, the dithering crushes blacks completely.

[vernal jolt]

Just in case anyone else notices, the tail lights have a bit a bad contrast. also dlss frame gen is almost unusable. black pixel spots show on the screen like steam boat willie just abducted rtx remix.

[spiral fable]

okay, no offence to anyone but what the actual fuck is that skybox brother ?

[jade briar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I like it

[spiral fable]

the orange one ?

fair play then unc, to each their own I guess

[vernal jolt]

it seems to be the quality of the sky and environment weather.

[pearl matrix]

all blackbox games full prologue gameplay

[crystal crescent]

Hello,

I coming to you guys because I have a problem. I have downloaded the NFSU2 Remix mod (0.4) but when I m in the game every light is white. The problem seem to come from the RayTracing because when I disable it the color come back.

I can't find an answer to this problem online, do you have any idea where this can come from ?

I m on a 5090.

[jade briar]

Send a screenshot

[crystal crescent]

@jade briar sure, here it is

On the first pic I m in the menu with a red underglow on

And on the second pic I m in the light of a shop with a blue underglow

[jade briar]

Where did you install it from?

[jade briar]

And the mod?

Also make sure that you're using the latest US version of the game and I notice that you're not using the required in game graphics settings

[crystal crescent]

i have downloaded the mod from the official website (moddb) and followed the guide for in game settings as well

I will try with the us version but I m not sure that will affect the colors

I try that and comeback in a moment

[ember cobalt]

rule 5

[vernal jolt]

this mod can talk almost 11gb to use. dlss quality with frame gen is barely reaching 60 fps.

[trail quail]

More updates will be shown of some asseets soon

vusy with a few projects is all

[ancient haven]

oh wow

Even my RTX3070 Ti laptop cant get 60 fps

but ngl it looks amazing

[trail quail]

Yeah it is hard on gpus

The 350z model as well is at least 400k tris

[pearl matrix]

bro what is that pfp 💀

[ancient haven]

what

[jade briar]

You can mess with the dlss settings. The default config is set to quality which isn't really recommended for most GPUs

[ancient haven]

I tried

Didn't work sadly

I never saw my GPU using 170w before

That's crazy lol

[jade briar]

Mine uses 400

[wild radish]

0.4.rar when?

[jade briar]

what

[wild radish]

well if we have 0.4.7z when do I get 0.4.rar or 0.4.zip

[eternal wraith]

wow what uh, what a profile picture

[ancient haven]

dont mind me

[vernal jolt]

any ideas on a quikfix?

[vernal jolt]

The settings for rtx need in game graphic settings to be set to high.

[jade briar]

Wrong game, y'all. This is the underground 2 thread. You can find the underground 1 thread one floor below.

[stray panther]

Ohh okay my bad

[vernal jolt]

The video is showing the problems happening for both Underground and Underground2

[topaz roost]

the goonerslop is real

[pallid river]

probably lives underground too

[topaz roost]

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-gif-968943876633031890

[torn plaza]

Is there any way to download just the rtx textures?

[jade briar]

no

[trail quail]

working on this again

[trail quail]

Some artistic liberties taken and all that

[trail quail]

can I be allowed to use a normal map to make the vinyl pop more?

WIP

Ignore the bump map

[trail quail]

I want the vinyl to have a lot of volume and depth

[trail quail]

something like this

[jade briar]

Mmn

[trail quail]

the carbon fibre texture is not enabled atm so ignore that purple

[jade briar]

So far so good

[trail quail]

udpate

[fallen quiver]

That's awesome!!

[strong rose]

Anyone tested this with an RX 9060XT 16GB? How does it perform?

[vernal jolt]

with dlss 3.5 or 4 probably not much different than a 4070 super. at 4k the latency is terrible. the frame gen adds 10-15 fps. 4k60fps is hard to do unless you half the refresh rate.

[atomic trellis]

hello

someone with crashes???

i have a rtx4070 super

[jade briar]

What's the crash?

[atomic trellis]

idk rs

i mean

every minute the game freezes

sometimes 10 minutes. mostly less than 5

rtx4070 super
dont get any error message

i know thats little to nothing information...

[jade briar]

Play the game and check your ram/vram usage

[atomic trellis]

playing at 4k by the way

oh

ok

give 5 minuts

tks

7.4GB VRAM from 12 used

10GB / 16GB ram used

RTX4070 super

in the screenshot its already crashed

[jade briar]

10 and 7.4

strange

[atomic trellis]

so... its not common the crashes.. right?

[jade briar]

When the game freezes check the taskmanager to see what's frozen

[atomic trellis]

i can reinstall any other version

[jade briar]

The game or remix

[atomic trellis]

ok

5 min

the game

Im brazilian btw

Not responding

[jade briar]

hm

Game issue

Have you set the in-game graphics to the recommended values?

[atomic trellis]

sorry. yes

i will not bother u , im trying another version of the game - base

just to know if it was just with me

[atomic trellis]

i realized that was that
I swear i configured correctly but i think i messed up sometime

now if someone complain about crashes, u know why hahahah

tkssssssss

[atomic trellis]

br br

jjkkkkkk

[zinc pelican]

qual versão preciso usar?

[jade briar]

Guh

[zinc pelican]

I don't know how

but it's working

[vernal jolt]

@zinc pelican The developer settings have to be set to high!

do it in the menu before the game starts! @zinc pelican had the same problem!

[jade briar]

Eh

[spiral fable]

So it this just a drag and drop ?

what about the community wide screen patch ?

[jade briar]

It's drag and drop. Widescreen patch is included. Make sure you use a clean or fresh install without any other patches or mods present

[spiral fable]

One more thing

does the sky still look like a nuke went off ?

i don't think it's the right vibe ngl

[jade briar]

It's the dawn sky. The game has 2 skies and they switch from time to time.

I can change it later

It was kinda rushed

[spiral fable]

fairs, fairs thank you

[atomic trellis]

@jade briar its common to the sky changes in no time? i mean, its afternoon and... POW , night

[jade briar]

yes

[atomic trellis]

ok

other

can i disable the grain film?

[jade briar]

There's no grain. What do you mean.

[hybrid narwhal]

Where can I download the mod?

[hybrid narwhal]

As you can see in the photos, I'm having problems with jagged edges, and in the background you can see a grainy effect in the game that disappears when I activate DLSS. I'd like to know how to fix it.

The tire smoke becomes all pixelated.

[jade briar]

1. Those jagged edges appear because you don't have any anti aliasing enabled.
2. You're enabling dlss multi frame gen, not upscaling.

[hybrid narwhal]

Even after following the instructed procedure, the problem of some checkered textures persists.

[jade briar]

Those are old textures which haven't been replaced yet.

[hybrid narwhal]

I understand, I want to congratulate you on your work with the mod, it turned out great, incredible work!

[jade briar]

Thanks

[fast bronze]

Is there specific setting to enable headlights and taillights? Game runs fine but I have no taillights and headlights. Like the actual lights not the parts themselves

[jade briar]

Headlights should work. If not, then check game settings and make sure they match the recommend ones

[tender musk]

helloo

can i fix the light from the car ?

and i have the same settings

[jade briar]

You should have headlights visible.

Strange

[tender musk]

with this version 0.4

[upper yew]

Is this project finished yet?

[jade briar]

naur

[upper yew]

Is there still someone working on it?

[bright hedge]

maybe

[hybrid narwhal]

Hello, my setup is an RTX 5070 Ti, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB of RAM, and even so I can't get more than 30-40 FPS with DLSS in quality mode. If I disable frame generation, the game becomes unplayable, not to mention that it's using more CPU than GPU.

[jade briar]

If you have a scripts folder, open it and delete or move the anti culling script from the folder

[smoky summit]

hey guys im trying to play but everytime i launch the game it goes to launch i see a black screen and it crashes any fixes?

[jade briar]

Depends. What game version. Is it clean. Where did you download the mod from. etc etc

[vernal jolt]

when you use rtx remix with a 5000 series graphics card, does the software use dlss 4?

[jade briar]

Yes but I dont think the version of the mod released with the dlss4 update

Or maybe it did...

guh

[west mango]

hey does anyone know a fix for my taillights and headlights not showing up?

[vestal pier]

i guess I'm doing something wrong

[jade briar]

Where did you get it from?

[vestal pier]

just moved the files from archive to game and launched it
maybe it cause i had an vulkan dll before and i didn't delete that completely

also my gpu works only on 30-40%

[jade briar]

Make sure you use a fresh install

No mods or patches

[vestal pier]

understood
but if i want to have some mods, is there any guide how to set rtx remix for myself?

[jade briar]

Just drag and drop. There's no gurantee that other mods will be compatible. Start with installing remix in a clean copy of the game and maybe try installing your mods one by one.

[vestal pier]

ok, thanks

playing with settings it give me some interesting results already

[jade briar]

Interesting

[balmy chasm]

We're so doomed with the fact this game happens in night time to be honest. All of this ray-tracing really wins from the good ambient light source, which is ideally a sunlight. At least you can always tweak settings a little to get a cool looking picture in the daytime.

[vestal pier]

true
Btw, I have no idea why there's daytime in my game. It appears only on second sky and goes back to normal on 1 and 3

I'm too lazy to search for a clean game, so I will try to adjust RTX Remix to my nfs 
Got some results, at least the menu is not fully blacked out now

some kind of fever dream

It's cool that this part glows

[balmy chasm]

Also it looks like you really installed Remix only, with no sign of our mod on top of that

[pearl matrix]

damnn that toyota is fire

[vestal pier]

You mean there's no new textures/models?

[jade briar]

Yes

[vestal pier]

Well, they are, or rather were. Now the check mark that turns them on does nothing, for some reasons
But I can enable them by adding "rtx.enableTextureReplacement = True" in rtx.conf

and some of them are blurry
maybe not all textures are loaded

[jade briar]

Weird

[balmy chasm]

Blurry textures are those Remix is clashing to 'optimise memory usage'

[vestal pier]

had this enabled
thanks

now textures looking good

[jade briar]

I thought I disabled it

[vestal pier]

maybe I accidentally turned it on and didn't turn it off

[balmy chasm]

And still, some things are way off of what the latest build have 🤔 For example, the background cityscape was replaced with mesh. The ground texture is not replaced as well. You might want to reinstall it following ModDB guide

[vestal pier]

hmm
okay, I'll try reinstall that later

[vestal pier]

Stayed same after reinstalling
I guess that's because of an unclean game 
Maybe I will go back to 0.3 version. It works better with unclean game, at least in the menu
Would be good for car screenshots

I did photos like that back then

[jade briar]

The third one goes so fucking hard. You're forced to make screenshots for the next release whenever that happens

[vestal pier]

i'm not actually good in this

[jade briar]

Sure, bud

[lapis fern]

umm my headlights aren't working

how can i fix it?

actually like around the map most lights aren't working

[jade briar]

Man

So weird

I still have to figure out why this happens for some people.

[lapis fern]

i really want to play this with ray tracing but like i can't see anything in races lmao

okay hear me out

i pressed reset settings

seems like it did something

but now there is like little dots on screen

[jade briar]

Shouldn't have

That's not how the game is supposed to look like

[lapis fern]

uhh

what do i do then?

do you think it's the ram or smth?

i have 16 gigs

i'll try something hold up

okay i reinstalled the mod and put the game where i configured my RAM swap file for another game

seems like it's working fine

[jade briar]

It's probably not your RAM. I think you installed it incorrectly the first time around.

Make sure you have version 0.4 of that mod

It's the latest

[lapis fern]

i have 0.4

[lapis fern]

i dragged and dropped the files configured game setting from the instructions

idk

i don't think i installed it wrong

[jade briar]

Weird

[lapis fern]

just to make sure this is how it should look like right?

[jade briar]

yep

That's about it

[lapis fern]

umm the lights aren't working again

this is really weird

also there is this issue

[balmy chasm]

I assume that's weird denoise/raytracing/bla-bla-bla settings all the time. As here he got light sources emitting really low light, emissive textures emitting with bloom, and shared textures a bit messed up

[lapis fern]

is there a way i can fix it?

like just get it to the point it bearable

i really hate it when i can't see a NPC car and hit it full speed lol

[balmy chasm]

https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/blob/main/rtx-remix-defaults/rtx.conf
Make sure you have this rtx.conf next to your game executable in a folder

[lapis fern]

like this?

[lapis fern]

it looks like this now

i have no light issues atm

i will continue testing

[balmy chasm]

Uh oh... What's your GPU again?

[lapis fern]

4060

[lapis fern]

is it wrong?

[balmy chasm]

Nah no. The performance of different settings is different depending on your GPU capabilities. Though I can only call out some of our team members to give you different rtx.conf 🤔

[lapis fern]

i would like that

i tried messing with a different config yesterday and i messed it up really badly :D

the performance on this config is good though

[balmy chasm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1123297846737776670/1395773851303936161/rtx.conf?ex=694803b2&is=6946b232&hm=5c54c32a3fd160a29ba441d781c88c15ef4fc9bcf1ea2f996f8917cde654f5b9&
May be this one

[lapis fern]

ok i'll try it now

okay it looks like this now

but the shadow or something under the car looks a bit off

some ground textures are missing

okay nvm fixed the shadows issue

the ground textures are missing

[balmy chasm]

Agh. Can you show how your lobby(the one with trash piles and garages on the background) looks like

[balmy chasm]

And select any stock starter car

[balmy chasm]

Well, looks as intended. I assume you won't have issues if you go into open world on this stock car for testing

[lapis fern]

let me see

it's still the same

ground is missing

[balmy chasm]

Can't really tell the reason

[lapis fern]

oh no

it's not just that area

a whole map is gone

[jade briar]

guh

[lapis fern]

i'll try changing directorys

to my main M.2

instead of SATA

that didn't work..

[balmy chasm]

Your mods are messing things up

[lapis fern]

yeah i'm reinstalling atm

[lapis fern]

it's not the mods

it's the config

[rain nova]

I'm getting the same problem, no lights, and some other bugs

Actually, I tested it with a random installation that I got from websitesss (without mods), but I have the original CD and the patch, so I'll try to do a new installation later.

I will also test the rtx.conf files that EAWorld sent, but I have an RTX 5070 Ti

[rain nova]

lol

[jade briar]

sigh

[rain nova]

Anyway, I noticed that an old NFSU2 installation was messing up my registry entries, so I chose "WriteSettingsToFile = 1". This way, I was able to remove all registry entries and save the game settings in "settings.ini".

[lapis fern]

did you fix the issues?

[rain nova]

No, I didn’t get any good results. I tested the "rtx.conf" files sent by EAWorld, but I had the same results as you. I did a new clean installation, directly from the two original NFSU2 discs. Applied patch 1.1 and then patch 1.2, adjusted the graphics according to the pinned image, but same results

[lapis fern]

was anyone able to figure it out?

okay @rain nova @jade briar i'm sorry for pinging you all but i think i got it

no light flickering and textures are working

i will continue testing

[jade briar]

What in the world did you do

Because this is a common enough issue

[rain nova]

lol pls send me this rtx.conf

[lapis fern]

okay so what i did was the last rtx.conf file ea sent was actually making extra textures disappear

i copied the ones from the original rtx.conf

it fixed it

i will send the one i have test it robert

[rain nova]

thanks, I will test now!

[lapis fern]

@rain nova is it working?

my game crashed lmao

[rain nova]

mine too

[lapis fern]

was lights working with textures?

i think i made mine crash tbh

[rain nova]

mine won't even open anymore

[lapis fern]

huh why

mine does open

thats weird

i'm in game

[rain nova]

I forgot to put the CD key in my settings.ini, my bad, testing again!

[lapis fern]

oh lol

oh yes they are working

i'm so happy!

@rain nova are the textures working?

[rain nova]

I'm getting this strange shadow

[lapis fern]

okay so

[karmic cairn]

Where did you get the round wheels for the 350z? I tried installing version 0.4 and selecting the same wheels, but I have the standard textures (!?) being used. 🤔

[lapis fern]

go and turn off car shadow neon

it fixes it

from the game settings

[rain nova]

oh, perfect!

[rain nova]

Send a screenshot to see how yours looks

[lapis fern]

bro i'm so happy this is working

3 days

it was 3 days it took us to fix it

[rain nova]

looks good now, It seems that the brake lights are not working (or have they not been implemented yet?)

[lapis fern]

yep

it's the same for all cars

[lapis fern]

you don't have mods installed right?

[karmic cairn]

No third-party parts, etc. Only a wide screen, extra options, etc. I tried installing version 0.4 on a completely clean version of the game (US\EN), but for some reason the updated ‘RacingHart’ texture does not work for me.

[lapis fern]

thats weird

[rain nova]

Yeah, it really doesn't look like mine.

[lapis fern]

what version U2 do you have?

maybe you have 1.0 or smth

[karmic cairn]

1.2

[cloud crypt]

i really dislike that huge lamp hanging from above

Better ground texture + the trash from the latest build would be so fitting here

[balmy chasm]

Starter 350Z has its unique wheels, separate from those custom you can install yourself

[balmy chasm]

We haven't really looked at the braking light system yet. I assume it is not possible as of now

[trail quail]

Hoping the custom modelling is working soon as I am prepping other models in the background that eventually hopefully can be used

[frosty sable]

Hello everyone 😄

I also have a problem with the rear lights. Do you have any ideas on how to fix them?

PS: Sorry if my English isn't very good.

I don't have that problem with the EVO, though.

[drowsy birch]

imo, the lights on the street should be more warm. for a game that is in 2004 those look like really bright leds lol

[lapis fern]

Some cars have lighting aome don't for example the tiburon v6 stock taillights don't work but some aftermarket ones do work

I will send a screenshot in game when i get home

[lapis fern]

Also to get rid of that blur under the car go and turn off car shadows / neon in game settings

[frosty sable]

On the other hand, the blurriness of the car doesn't bother me that much. xd

[lapis fern]

It does look better though

It was driving me crazy at some point :D

[frosty sable]

Yes, I suspected as much, but some civilian cars don't have any lights at all, which is more annoying. 😅

[jade briar]

Mfs when they do everything except use the recommended game settings

Smh my head

[balmy chasm]

They all do, seriously. But harsh dlss and denoiser settings can clamp them a ton. At least the furthest thing you can see is the light on the road from them, as those sources are the biggest there

Red are the smallest light sources, and orange is bigger and does all the surrounding illumination work

[frosty sable]

The only in-game settings I changed were the brightness and enabling DLSS Frame Generation.
Everything else is set according to the recommended settings listed on the mod’s ModDB page.

[balmy chasm]

May be you can make a screenshot where you feel like traffic light is missing. Will help a lot

[hybrid narwhal]

I have an RTX 5070 Ti and a Ryzen 5 5600 X, but my game only runs at low FPS. What should I do?

[balmy chasm]

Are you following the "original mesh subdiv" workflow?

[trail quail]

Yeah I am modelling off the old model

[trail quail]

Well I am following the curves of the old model just a lot smoother. If that is what you meant?

[balmy chasm]

Basically making a retopo?

[trail quail]

The old poly flow of the models is not great obviously so I am doing the pieces from scratch

of course even mine needs a lot of work atm> Mine is not too good either yet

[balmy chasm]

I've been looking at subdividing the original mesh some time ago. Could be an option as well. Just keep eyes on UV changes

[trail quail]

It follows a lot of the old one just cleaner

[balmy chasm]

Ah, that's Subdiv modifier which smoothes out the sharp corners there

[trail quail]

Yeah I am using that as I want to work with as little data as possible and then do a clean subdiv

Just enough to get round(enough)

I have been using curve and some poly modelling. I found curves to be easier to work with for cars

[balmy chasm]

To be fair it looks like already dense enough mesh for the task. Just perfect some sharp lines a little and done

[trail quail]

Yeah I don't plan on making it higher than that. It is enough for performance sake

I hear RTX remix is pretty heavy still

[balmy chasm]

It is. But yet have the benefit of handling large meshes well

[trail quail]

ONly the hero model I am working on is really super hihg poly.

Rachels 350z

[balmy chasm]

People are waiting

[trail quail]

Well that one is in game but it needs tweaks and the textures are being worked on. Also adding engine parts and interior. Hopefully in a later build

It is also taking a bit as I have stated I am not only working on NFUS RTX remix

I am a dev for a few of the mods 🙂

[balmy chasm]

Is engine something you can really see when in game? Don't remember this tuning part to be on Rachel's car

[trail quail]

Nah but it is a little thing I am also adding for a folio part

I don['t remember if you can see it, but it is there if it is possible to see it. Also for the modding section of the 350x in general it could come in handy

350z

The performance upgrades section

The standard 350z would probs have it for it's upgrades

[jade briar]

You can in photoshoot mode

For sponsors and shit

[trail quail]

Have any other cars besides the Z been worked on>? OR are they still low poly?

anyone know?

[balmy chasm]

All of them with exception of unique cars have everchanging mesh hash. Not surer if this got fixed with recent texture hash fix

BUT

[trail quail]

Hopefully it is possible in the future

Good thing I will have some models ready when it does

[balmy chasm]

Few parts have stayed stable on them, such as headlights, antennas, etc

Also... Do you plan to model head\tail- lights on it?

[trail quail]

If it doesn't have them available I will

SHould not be hard

[balmy chasm]

I mean... Will be great if you follow the workflow we already used for them on other cars

[trail quail]

Yeah I can do that

[balmy chasm]

Hit me up when you get to that part then

[trail quail]

No probs. I have the Lights of Rachels car. I Noticed they use three diff pieces

I did not make the lights for that one obviously

[balmy chasm]

I remember it took me around a week to make a set of lights for single car

[trail quail]

I remember seeing rachels car ones for the first time and being like "Damn dey dense mesh"

[robust hedge]

Hello, can anyone help me? The game freezes on the title screen as soon as I go to the RTX menu. If I load my save game, I can't open the RTX menu. I would be very grateful if someone had any files to fix it.

[lapis fern]

have you tried reinstalling it from the start?

and what is the game version?

[robust hedge]

Where can I check the version?

[lapis fern]

are these lines on the exe the same?

if it is then the game version is 1.2

which should be fine

also it's an EU copy right?

[robust hedge]

yes

[lapis fern]

so is it the same with my exe?

if it is it's probably RTX Remix

i can't see the screenshot

[robust hedge]

sorry my bad

[lapis fern]

you have the launch version

1.0

it maybe because of that

try to find 1.2 patch on the internet

i forgot where to find it

[robust hedge]

I found this one, but apparently it's not compatible with my no-CD fix.

[lapis fern]

the widescreen fix ini has the patch for that

it should be in the scripts folder

it should be this line

i can send my no cd fix if you want

if it doesn't work

[ember cobalt]

ahem

rule 5 please

[lapis fern]

sorry!

[robust hedge]

My version patch isn't working. I'm looking for another one.

[robust hedge]

Now I have the correct version, however the problem with the RTX menu is still there.

[lapis fern]

Try reinstalling the mod

Make sure it's 0.4 version and the resolution in widescreenfix.ini is set to your monitors resolution

I had an issue with rtx remix because of these problems

And also make sure it's a clean install of the game

[robust hedge]

This is my folder. I reinstalled version 0.4, but the result is the same.

[lapis fern]

That is really weird

You checked the resolutipn in the .ini file right?

[robust hedge]

where can I find these?

[lapis fern]

In the scripts folder inside the game directory

Widescreenfix.ini or smth

ResX and ResY

[lapis fern]

Oksy your monitor is 4K right?

[robust hedge]

yes

[lapis fern]

Alright that seems fine

Can you set it to 1440p pleasr?

ResX 2560
ResY 1440

It will only change the game render

[robust hedge]

same problem

Is there another way to fix the lights and the darkness?

[lapis fern]

Oh yeah

Btw

Could you also try running the game as admin?

I will get you the config file i have thst has lighting fixed

[lapis fern]

It's this one

Just put it in the gsme folder and replace the file

[robust hedge]

thx

[lapis fern]

Np

Btw if it still looks a bit too dark try to open the menu and increase the brightness from there

By menu i mean RTX Remix menu

[robust hedge]

On the title screen I can open the RTX menu, but the game freezes. When I load my save game, I can no longer open the RTX menu.

I'll try again later. Thank you for your time.

[lapis fern]

Np anytime next time if you have any clipping software on try turning them off

They might conflict with remix from what i have seen

Have a good night/day my friend!

[jade briar]

Where did you download the mod from?

[robust hedge]

moddb.com

[jade briar]

Post the error log

It should be in the "logs" folder

[jade briar]

Not the right one

[robust hedge]

That's all in my logs folder.

[jade briar]

Okay, do you see the other two?

[robust hedge]

Is one of them the correct log?

[jade briar]

guh

[jade briar]

First of all

Remove the game from the C drive

[robust hedge]

okay

[robust hedge]

Same problem

[jade briar]

Just reinstall the game and the mod in a different drive

Make sure you don't install any other mods or patches

You need the lates US version of the game

[robust hedge]

I need the no-CD fix and the 1.2 patch for the correct version. I installed it via CD.

[jade briar]

Right

[robust hedge]

I'm installing my game in my D drive and the mod is in my downloads folder. That should work, right?

[jade briar]

Uh...

You have to extract the mod into the game folder

[robust hedge]

yes after unpacking

[jade briar]

mhm

[balmy chasm]

From whatever the mod is, install it in the game folder in D drive

[trail quail]

Making sure to make all bumpers. There are a few rweaks I have to make to make sure the lighting renders clean. I am adding may of the kits to my arsenal. This is gunna be a big file lol

Kit01 front bumper

needs grille mesh

I rememer some looking (ich....might have to hold my laghter if I model those)

just IMO I can't with this one lol

Kit 29 is a bit comical as well

[balmy chasm]

You can actually remake them to be more serious or even use IRL reference

[trail quail]

It is just a select few if I remember that look odd. It will be nice to remake some real world like one as well. I might do a mix

[balmy chasm]

Will be better this way

[trail quail]

I feel my car modelling is improving since the 350

Not that the 350 model I did is bad I guess

I am def the weak link of the collab model though imho. Having less exp with car modelling than my usual being a character designer

I know I shouldn't self bash I guess

[balmy chasm]

Time = skill. It's been quite a while since you first posted the 350z shots. Pretty logical you grew up

[trail quail]

Learning to be decent at all types of models

to have some flexibility

[lapis fern]

looks really good

[trail quail]

new metalic paint flaking on the texture. It is kinda just slapped on atm. I will fix it where it is stretching soon. We now have albedo, roughness, metalness, normal (AO baked into the albedo as well)

[trail quail]

For some reason it has made the shading look "better" like the paint looks smooth and more I unno...."real?" There are parts that need fixing but the texture is sitting better imo

[trail quail]

The front bumper has to go though. I can't fix it in anyway. I will eventually give the texture so far though. As it can be added as is so far

The vinyl that is

The front bumper is shit gunna say it

I made it so imma judge it

[trail quail]

The start of fixing shading problems. Now the shding is starting to look pretty good I guess, Learning from how I am making the other cars

[slate surge]

Noice

[shy viper]

Hello everyone, I downloaded Underground 2 Remix 0.4.7. Do you have any settings in the in-game Remix configuration to get the best possible experience with good image quality? I have an RTX 5080, for your information. Currently, my taillights aren't working, for example, in-game. Thanks for your help!

I also experience ghosting when I change a body panel on my vehicle. For example, if I change the front body panel, when I scroll, the textures overlap.

[lapis fern]

That is not implemented yet

[lapis fern]

You have to move the camera a little bit

Like wiggle it

[shy viper]

Sorry, I didn't understand. I'm French and I'm doing the translation.

I downloaded version 0.4.7 of nfsu2 remix from the internet and I'm asking for the best settings to use for an optimal experience.

[copper epoch]

There is no "best settings" right now

[shy viper]

Okay, I understand. My game sometimes crashes, and I'm wondering if there's an option I can uncheck, for example, in some settings.

[trail quail]

dat shading now

hope the texture wraps around just as clean now

Some odd parts are jst that I am using the old bumper as reference

Either way I feel that is as good as I can get it

[copper epoch]

I have problem too game is soo muddy yet low fps

Is there any proper installation guide or troubleshoot?

Oh sorry there is a guide

But i get error rn idk why

[lapis fern]

I was talking about the part where you said taillights weren't working

They are not implemented yet

[lapis fern]

You did unpack it correctly right?

[copper epoch]

I did unpack all but used winrar, is that the cause ?

Dropped all files in main game folder

Oh i remembered why it worked yesterday

File folder name caused this

Removed tm and - and now its opening

Ty anyway

Rn game looks fine but low fps cuz i have rtx 4050

[jade briar]

Change dlss to performance

[lapis fern]

Çalışıyorsa sıkıntı yok benim 4060 da bile biraz fps drop oluyor

I said if it works it's fine even my 4060 has frame drops for non-turkish people

[copper epoch]

I opened frame gen to temp fix

But vram not enough

[copper epoch]

Frame gen açtım

[lapis fern]

let's talk in DM

it will be easier to communicate

[trail quail]

Ignoring thhe diff in material (this just a base mat for colour sake) I feel the new front bumpers shading has hit the "good enough" point where the shading is just the right balance and no "bad" shading issues are there

I feel this is as good as my current skills can get it

I mean I guess it is not "bad"

Just gotta make the indicators now

[balmy chasm]

Please show us wireframe when talking about modelling. Can't really judge what's the difference in any of the photos

[trail quail]

vs
old

the difference is subtle but I feel it is a worthy difference maybe

Like it is more consistent and even

This is more important, there is way is not much warping at the edges anymore

[balmy chasm]

I wanted to ask about this part, where I feel like there should be no smooth transition in curved pieces where they intersect. As if there must be a more visible crease in that place

[trail quail]

I don't know if the 350z bumper has much of a bevel at that point so I did not add another

[balmy chasm]

As for other parts - a good improvement

[trail quail]

I could put an edge running down that section I dunno. It is not hugely visible when textured tho

I might see how it looks it is a quick addition

[balmy chasm]

Just keep track of such things in the future

[trail quail]

so in that case it should look like this?

[balmy chasm]

Something like this will work

[trail quail]

tru

done

[desert ridge]

Nice, the edge flow has improved a lot.

[trail quail]

Some parts I still did a bit lazy but it is areas you will never see. Just to save polygons

Behind the wheel arch and back part of bumper

e.g. no one is gunna look here as the texture will most likely be completely dark as well

[trail quail]

Can I have the tire texture so that it looks good as an art piece. Also who are the other artists that worked on the Z so I can credit for the other parts?

textures for the lights too

I might put the teams names as decals on the side of the body texture

oh if the new brakes were modelled I might put them as ref in there

[balmy chasm]

E-Man(wheel) and Hemry(lights)

[trail quail]

Okies Are the textures on git or something?

[balmy chasm]

https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/tree/main/rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/03_meshes/03_cars/02_350Z
I assume them to be here. Though might be wrong

Oh, got a bunch of car labels there as well

[trail quail]

ahh

[trail quail]

"on second thought lets not add POM there...It is a silly shader"

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-silly-place-holy-grail-gif-14462043

[trail quail]

it ok for tire treads though

[trail quail]

Thanks for the links. The tire texture elevated it

doing the UVs for the bumper

[trail quail]

Uvs done for front bumper. Damn that light sheen tho. It't about as good as the texture would look considering I have to adhere to the EA based UV sections

The cleaner shading really is bringing out the detail much better though now

Ignore the BS untextured indicator lol

I dunno what that window BS green glow is but that is the least of my problems as I don't think the windows have UVs in NFSU2 if I recall. NM I forgot to unhide the undercarriage of the car

[trail quail]

Sorry for spam. Do y'all think I should make it slightly more matte (is the reflection too intense)?

I can lighten the roughness mapif so

[balmy chasm]

The case is, you have to adjust material with game open

[simple bloom]

Hi, everyone. Can someone help me with this nfs u2 rtx remix v 0.4. I upload screen log and dxdiag. Nvidia APP and graphic card have last update. and i dont know whats wrong.

[jade briar]

that's the bridge log

not the dxvk log

[simple bloom]

Och, Yea 🙂 sorry, anyway. Can someone help?

[jade briar]

Don't 🙂 me, send the dxvk log

[simple bloom]

How?

from?

[jade briar]

the logs folder

[simple bloom]

i have only this

[copper epoch]

Select nvidia gpu as the renderer in nvidia control panel for nfs ug2

[simple bloom]

nvidia app. SPEED.EXE doesnt work with this

[jade briar]

??

The fuck are you waffling about

ohhhhhhhhhh

its a laptop

hmmmmmm

[simple bloom]

ye

[copper epoch]

Hmm idk, the game doesnt appear on nvidia app for me but in control panel i added, did u install game on program files directory

[copper epoch]

U dont have nvidia control panel ?

[ashen gull]

@simple bloom you cant run rtx remix with gtx 1650, you need a gpu that has rt cores

[copper epoch]

Ohh i didnt realized that

Yea

[simple bloom]

understand. Ty all for help 😄

[lapis fern]

Bois i know this is out of context but look what i found

[jade briar]

Fire emoji

[balmy chasm]

Finally! A person with a legit copy!

[lapis fern]

It needs resurfacing

Music doesn't work and thw game crashes at thw end of races

Plus the acura at the start doesn't have a texture

I have prostreet and juiced 2 as well

[open atlas]

thats of ug1 and that isnt the right artwork for that disc

source: i own a legit copy of ug1

[lapis fern]

It is a legit copy

It has the numbers behind the disc and its gold plated

Has the name etched on the back side as well

Just a different cover

[open atlas]

I'm not going to drag this off topic, but I know it's not

[balmy chasm]

Guys guys... It means only one things - can you send it pleeeaaase?

[open atlas]

https://ebay.us/m/dF5WJA for anyone curious what a legit disc looks like

[jade briar]

Notice how the original poster never denied the fact the disc is in fact of UG1, and not UG2 as one might incorrectly assume, given the name of this thread.

[open atlas]

No, but he did deny that that disc of UG1 was legit

[lapis fern]

that is because i believe it is a legit copy i didn't say you were wrong i know what you mean at first when i found it i didn't think it was legit either but after i looked on the back side it had the games name etched on the disc and i thought well if it has the name of the game on the back side etched by a laser (i don't know if it's etched with a laser i might be wrong you can correct me)

i will send a photo hold on

if it's not a original legit copy then it's fine

i just thought it was

I took the photo as best i can

[lapis fern]

I did say it was out of context and i know i didn't clarify it was ug1 thats on me

I was excited about finding it

[vernal jolt]

i recently gave the rtx. conf a try. it gained a lot light from the road lamps but the darkness has overtaken the roads. very blurred. i would to change that in the conf file but i would need to be shown.

[vernal jolt]

nevermind. i have found my answer!

[vernal jolt]

where is the download link for the file? is it a usda file?

[balmy chasm]

You click "download Raw" when in the file path location

[trail quail]

"There better not be a scratch on it".....Well they dun goofed

I forgot someone I will add them later lol

Everyone listed on this car is guilty of driving this into a wall. Rachel will not be happy haha

[trail quail]

Render test on the new bumper to see it in another light

[balmy chasm]

Oh god, this background

[trail quail]

yeah lol

[open atlas]

Why does the light reflection cutoff at the fender

[trail quail]

there is probably a reflection there also I think there is a bright light there

There is still tonnes of things I have todo to get everything consistent. I am really shit at lighting

It doesn't always look like that at certain angles. It could even be the environment

[magic hound]

Hi everyone, the latest version of the RTX Remix mod for this game has been released on July in ModDB, does anyone know if the team responsible for the mod are still working on it? is there any release window?

[balmy chasm]

We're pretty much here. You can judge by the uploader name. No realease window. This project is really massive and most importantly - have remix-unsupported features as of now

[magic hound]

thank you, it seems you guys are doing great progress, i'm very excited for the next release

is there something like a nightly/beta build you guys release?

In Github the last commit was in the release of the last version

[balmy chasm]

The latest commit was about fixing some issues we didn't notice on the 0.4 version release, yeah. No commits after that just because things are worked locally a lot before pushing online

[magic hound]

thanks

[jovial quartz]

Having issues with lights and rain

shadow under the car aswell if i have shadows on

[lapis fern]

You did the recommended in game settings right?

This one

[jovial quartz]

I did not, thank you for the info

[balmy chasm]

Hehe, I won't judge adding such details. I was the one to seat a whole figure inside every traffic car

[vernal jolt]

rtx remix logic. how is it added to the rtx remix?

[trail quail]

har har

[wild radish]

That's hot, pretty sure they're a pretty rare version of the game. I think it was made for a specific market

[vernal jolt]

i cant race in game. Big loading screen till error for like minutes if i dont restart.

No?

[cerulean meadow]

Is there an easy fix for headlights not showing on traffic, but the actual light reflection on the road works. Its kinda annoying as im driving into every single car xD

[jade briar]

Send a screenshot

[cerulean meadow]

I wont be able now im at work but will get back to you later! Nonetheless this mod is absolute fire! Thanks for creating!

[balmy chasm]

It is mostly caused by the ray amount not catching such a small light source in the headlight. And we have a separate source for actual light cone in front of car, which creates a well visible reflection
Noise cancelling is the issue here and it can be fixed with some settings tweaking

[cerulean meadow]

here you see the light on the street but the car doesnt show.

[jade briar]

ahhhh

@balmy chasm lod issue?

[cerulean meadow]

so i need to play with the option under the denoising tab?

[jade briar]

No it's an asset issue. Wait for EAWorld to reply

[maiden wagon]

Is this the latest version that I can download? Or is there a new version? I'm kinda new here

[jade briar]

That's 0.3

Open the link and downnload 0.4

[balmy chasm]

No no, not the LODs are the issue. You can imagine like 1 light ray only intersecting the camera from that source, and this 1 little ray is clustered by denoiser

#1103377328530276403 message

[jade briar]

Ah

Need uh

Lens flares

[maiden wagon]

Thanks bro

[jade briar]

@ember cobalt remove the previous project update ad pin this, please. I'll update this in the future.

[ember cobalt]

the installation instructions too?

[jade briar]

They can stay.

They're the same for now.

[sharp sinew]

You working on this again burrito?

[jade briar]

Been doing a few things here and there. Hopefully xoxor can help because this game needs a lot of fixes to work properly

[sharp sinew]

Sick, you guys took progress off server and never really clarified what happened. Even Eman was contributing at one point

[jade briar]

Eman was the first contributor, actually. Right after I started.

Then he got conscripted

Henry is busy with GTA, I think

Adam is half awake.

It's basically just EAWorld and me

If we can get the game working

@jolly sparrow would you mind helping?

[jolly sparrow]

Will look into it after carbon and a little few IV fixes

[jade briar]

prayge

[sharp sinew]

you got any updates?

its been an age

[desert ridge]

If we can replace the vehicle, and I’ll definitely switch my focus back to NFSU2 afterward.
I’ve learned so much while working on GTA4.

[trail quail]

"and khaotik is doing something else atm so no asset work rn"

I also am on my slow ass laptop so when I do updates on stuff I am working on they are very....slooooooooooww

I can't even look at the results in Omniverse myself as my laptop doesnt support it

but I am the broken chain so no one has to worry about me

it makes all the difference, be grateful

As p is further than F in fact it is 10 better

I duno what I am on about lol

placeholder for clear coat

[jade briar]

I wish

[sharp sinew]

for clear coat can you not just duplicate the mesh, push it out slightly and slap a translucent material on it? as a hacky hack hack

[jade briar]

It is. And I bet it would fuck with the denoiser

Plus the car mesh hashes are random every time you put on a different part

[sharp sinew]

but you can tell the denoiser to get the heck off translucent objects right?

do the cars have a solid core mesh you can attach your translucent shell onto? so you can stil have decals and colours at least

[jade briar]

Color isn't an issue tbh. The textures, although random do render correctly.

Even after customization

[sharp sinew]

give it a go? might work

at least its pro active

[jade briar]

The separate mesh trick?

[sharp sinew]

yea why not, i'd be down to help in cod2 if need any

[jade briar]

Well think about this. Even I had a stable core, the parts on the car still change around. I could put on a different hood or a different bumper. Suddenly the coat mesh is different from the actual mesh

[sharp sinew]

yea you'll need a single car combination that you cant change for it to work. you could do the m3?

it would disapear when you change so you'll have a showcar car and every other car that has the exact same issue you currently have, but you'd still have the showcase car

[jade briar]

Tru dat

I mean khaotic is making a 350Z model

The cover car

[sharp sinew]

yea, looks awesome as well. could work. try a shader ball to see if it'll even work

@trail quail
Hoi
I'm working on another set of lights. As you have already started with Celica, which is a part of my follow-up list, I decided to begin with it specifically. Here is the link to the source mesh of Celica set of lights.

https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/tree/fancyLightMeshes_stage02/rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/03_meshes/03_cars/05_CELICA

[trail quail]

nice they should look awesome on the celica

[balmy chasm]

Out of sudden, this is a good example of when rear lights are way more complex than front
(so much complex it is getting stuck at rendering all the noisy parts)

[balmy chasm]

Stage 2 sets done. This time in illuminated state

[jolly sparrow]

@jade briar can you list the issues that need to be fixed?

• light culling / world culling?
• what exactly needs to change about car paints?
  • similar system to carbon where a bunch of per paint type options like roughness/metalness are exposed and automatically applied or do you guys require actual stable hashes because you actually need to set custom roughness/metalness on the paint? If the later, I'm not sure how what information to use to create a stable hash .. because what would I do if there is the same car in the scene a second time?

[jade briar]

Well culling is one thing.
I believe eman used his ai tools to get rid of frustum culling but yes. That's an issue.
The car paints use similar materials. Glossy/metal/pearl etc.
At the start of the race, if the game is not running in ff fallback mode, you see a small cutscene with crouds of people. It's very much a staple of the underground games and I'd love to see them back.
Car hashes are unstable. The mesh remains perfectly stable until you change the car parts at which point every piece gets randomized.

[jolly sparrow]

• I'd try to make culling a little more adjustable and only disable whats actually needed to save on drawcalls
• So configurable options for car paint would be enough? If so, I can completely ignore the changing texture hash, right?
• Will look into the crowds
• Unsure what to do about car hashes

[jade briar]

As long as the materials look right, texture hashes are fine if randmised

[pearl matrix]

imo the lighting needs to be manually placed or increase the headlight distance so it actually works. Some places like the mountain are really dark. BUT these are issues since the last time i played (last year) idk if it got any updates

[jolly sparrow]

thats something for the mod team to handle

[pearl matrix]

boberto put your 100$ a month subscription to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[balmy chasm]

*Hemry said he will finish the mod if car mesh hashes get stable 👀 *

[jolly sparrow]

Well the game most likely rebuilds the vertex buffer for the car to include the new part. So in order to fix that, a vb with just the base case is needed, then buffers for each tuning addon. I'll most likely not look into that

[cloud crypt]

Couldnt that be achieved with emans tool?

[balmy chasm]

@ember river ?

[cloud crypt]

He made that vibe-reverse-engeneering tool. Just tell it what you want to achieve and where the game .exe is and it will try to do it for ya.

[ember river]

I think so. The game does some draw call batching of the whole car so parts of the car are rendered in different draw calls, and it is not even a logical separation like bumpers/doors, just a polygon count hard cut so some parts are all jagged triangles.
Someone would have to disable draw call batching and let the game push individual draw calls per part (bumpers, hood, windows, door...)

[cloud crypt]

Hm. Would be worth a try i guess

[jovial ledge]

What's the recommended settings for RTX 3050?

[jade briar]

Dlss balanced or perf

[vernal jolt]

dlss doesnt even offer my graphics card more than 20 frames. what resolution are you using? @jovial ledge

[jovial ledge]

1920x1080

[vernal jolt]

should work=60fps

[jovial ledge]

set FPSLimit in WidescreenFix ini file?

[vernal jolt]

if nvidia, go to the settings and place the game in ultra performance, instead of quality. The put background fps to 20 max. i didnt make an fps limit in the ini file. what is the fps you get when playing the game with high settings at 1080p with frame gen?

if without frame gen, put game v-sync on.

if frame rate is less than expected, put half refresh rate for a smoother 30fps gameplay.

half refresh rate in v-sync in the nvidia app settings.

30 fps is the original frame rate.

[jade briar]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[cloud crypt]

Sry, but never ever use vsync

Worst tec in the buis

Rather user frame limiters like riva statistic server or else

[earnest sandal]

Even tho blurbusters recommends it with gsync?

[cloud crypt]

When you use gsync, alleays turn off vsync!

Vsync massively increases latency

While framelimiters dont

VSync buffers images into memory to align with the monitor's refresh cycle, creating a delay between your inputs (mouse/keyboard) and the action on screen. This is particularly noticeable in fast-paced or competitive games.
VSync forces the GPU to "wait," which will make the game feel sluggish and less fluid.

• it can cause stuttering when the graphics card cannot maintain a constant frame rate matching the monitor's refresh rate.

[hard moss]

Nvidia vsync +gsync+reflex/low latency mode is the best combination though

in-game vsync is usually bad

with the exception of source2 games idk about others

[cloud crypt]

Vsync is allways bad

You dont use vsync in combination with gsync

ONLY when you use a cap in addition

Gsync ON
Control Panel Vsync ON
FPS Cap 1 FPS lower than your monitors refresh rate

[jade briar]

Gonna post some before after pairs of the new shader

[balmy chasm]

Coat :3

[jade briar]

Ja. I'm gonna edit the mats on all the traffic vehicles

[jovial ledge]

in the developer menu there are so many options

also cant find nfsu2 inside nvidia app

[jade briar]

I have no idea what that dude tried to say say, but correct, NFS won't show up in the NV app.
Do what I said. Enable framegen and lower the dlss preset in the regular menu.

Also lower the graphics preset

[jovial ledge]

My GPU is not 40xx or 50xx series

[jade briar]

Oh shit

I forgot

In that case just lower the graphics and dlss presets

Also turn on ray reconstruction. It actually improves frame rate a bit

[jovial ledge]

These are my settings (sorry I have russian version of the game)

[jovial ledge]

It's already turned on

[jade briar]

And what about the rendering tab?

[jovial ledge]

If i set the preset to medium, I have experienced a few glitches

[vernal jolt]

Rendering tab... the game has to be on high settings.

[jade briar]

No

My guy

Respectfully. Please stay quiet

[jade briar]

Turn the rendering preset to low and show me the glitches

[vernal jolt]

[jade briar]

Because I don't think I've seen any

[jovial ledge]

Like this

Look under the car

[jade briar]

That thing

Yeah

Uhm...

Okay show me your in-game settings

[jovial ledge]

I have followed your guide tbh

[jade briar]

They should match these

[jovial ledge]

When i initially installed the mod

[jade briar]

I know exactly what that is

The god damn stochastic alpha blend

I'll see what I can do about it. For now, try to make do with this.

[jovial ledge]

Also sometimes the skybox turns like this and when i move away from the lights they are "disappearing quickly instead of fading out"

And... the game just froze

[vernal jolt]

[river warren]

sorry to bother guys, i'm interested in this project. but firstly, i didn't have the game and where to download it?
