Garry's Mod

[subtle bison]

ah right its a invisible model

makes sense that rendering all non-static props in the map fixes it

speaking of, i need to somehow handle static map props

they still dissapear out of the view frustrum

[keen rivet]

dam

need to see if we can get that engine frustum fix working

i tried to find the function in ida but couldnt

[subtle bison]

yea that would be more ideal

i can try to optimize my lua stuff but it can only do so much

the archived gmod tower map hub is a good example of a large map being pretty much unplayable on x64

im not even hardware bottlenecked, its the engine

the perf goes up a lot disabling the view frustrum addon, despite what perfopus says

it gets so much worse lmao

im actually really confused, if we're modifying the render bounds but it only affects entities and props, why is it absolutely killing performance?

disabling frustrum culling in engine renders EVERYTHING and the hit is nowhere as big

my guess is lua overhead

[subtle bison]

im gonna try some stuff and see if i get somewhere

[lament quartz]

rgb cycle lights when

[subtle bison]

i didnt make that addon lol

but prob possible if u modify it

[lament quartz]

Didn't you make some rtx light addon?

[subtle bison]

yea, talks to the remix api directly, its really unstable lol

source's d3d9 device does not like it

it would work fine on 32-bit because of the bridge API but we dont have that on x64

[lament quartz]

I see

[subtle bison]

may be fixed in the future, but its not on my priority list

[lament quartz]

I am curious, what is the current bug priority

[subtle bison]

1. missing skybox with custom renderer enabled
2. broken displacement with custom renderer enabled
3. big performance hit with frustrum culling fix enabled on large maps (working on it rn)
   4.decals missing with custom renderer enabled

1 being highest, 4 being lowest

i think there are a few more but i dont remember atm

[subtle bison]

wow

i got perf to jump a lot

we're using PVS to check which leafs need frustrum culling disabled instead of the entire map

it needs some tweaking as lights flicker a bit but they're relatively stable

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-binary/pull/1
@keen rivet merge pls?

[subtle bison]

static props no longer cull

but it cost pretty much all of the optimizations i just added

the world is 100% stable now, no more light leaks or pop-ins

but as you can see, im only getting like 20-27fps with ultra perf DLSS, once again we're engine bound. I hope i can work some more magic to get then numbers back up

really seems to depend on map size, slightly smaller ones are actually close to what i had before

[lament quartz]

That water gah DAMN

Is there like a dds or something (idk how water mods work) that's avaliable?

Imagining this shi in rtcw

[subtle bison]

its the same old water mod we had before, but i forced all water bodies to be one dev texture, and then replaced it in the toolkit

i can provide the addon and remix mox

we can also see underwater now too

[lament quartz]

I meant like

[subtle bison]

depends on the map actually

[lament quartz]

Is there a public avaliable pbr for the water that could be used in a different game

[subtle bison]

oh

uh idk

[lament quartz]

I see

All I'm sayin is my "water" isn't allat lol

Blue jelly

[subtle bison]

these are all of the water textures used in the gmod water mod

its animated so it has a lot of dds files

[lament quartz]

Gotcha

Thank you

[subtle bison]

np

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

mmm light bounces 🤤

cannot wait for the new RR and NRC

will make light updates look so much better

Were so back skurty posted again

[lament quartz]

Me when file failed to install, not enough space on system

I gotta remove other modsss waaa

[quiet scroll]

LOL, I'm gunna switch back to 32bit and see how performance is on the map. No mods/with mods on bigcity for some reason is really iffy on frames. I don't remember it having any lag on 32bit

[lament quartz]

Its because there's something screwin up gm bug city cuz I'm getting lag on the base game

[quiet scroll]

fiddle sticks. I know how to make emissive maps now so maybe I'll look for another bigcity that's better performance-y and make the night variant

[lament quartz]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129969546 i got you fam

Altho it does remove alot of the props and teleporting doors (for performance) sp idk if you want that or not

[quiet scroll]

Oh yeah that's peak, I didn't know there were teleporting doors till a few weeks ago hahaha. I'll have to try it, maybe the hashes are the same - that'll save me lots of time

[lament quartz]

best of luck to you my friend!

I switched back to 32bit gmod with a clean install of gmod and my installer and now it crashes whenever I shoot an npc

I can shoot, just not shoot someone lmao

[drifting hinge]

👁️ the 32bit experience

[quiet scroll]

I wonder what it is, I gotta be missing something

[drifting hinge]

did you really 100% clean install it

[quiet scroll]

I'm pretty sure, but it's worth another go, I had some addons installed/uninstalled and wonder if some of them messed with stuff after getting uninstalled

[quiet scroll]

I can't know peace with gmod rtx

this makes no sense

clean install everything and now pew pew on someone makes it crash, like the blood particles make it crash or something

[drifting hinge]

that happen w me before

idk what fixed it though

[quiet scroll]

@subtle bison Is there anything special we need to do to uninstalling the 64bit version?

I feel like it's right under my nose lol

[drifting hinge]

bigcity weird apartment hole thing my beloved

[quiet scroll]

omg that's so prettyyy

[drifting hinge]

so tru

what they done to my boy eyes

[hasty sonnet]

ill test that out

[hasty sonnet]

what the fuck is with the eyes

[drifting hinge]

bro asking me like i know

[subtle bison]

easiest is to reinstall the game, mostly because of the lua menu

if it weren't for that, you'd just delete the files the archive adds

[half viper]

Just POM and normal maps to those bricks

[quiet scroll]

how can something work 1 second and not the next

[subtle bison]

gmod be like

[quiet scroll]

Whenever blood decals happen on 32bit now it just crashes, but it’s like a gmod crash not remix

[subtle bison]

decals or particles?

[quiet scroll]

Oops particles

[subtle bison]

the github version of rtx fixes gave me some instability, try using the workshop version

[quiet scroll]

Ahhhhhhh that could be it Shall try first thing when I get home

[half viper]

ik this gmod chat but does anyone know how to fix the leaves in hl2

[drifting hinge]

[drifting hinge]

something fucked with your install

[half viper]

nah did everything correctly it looks like a lod issue or something like that

[drifting hinge]

uhhhhrhghh idk wat could be doing that

[half viper]

me neither but every time i see this type of stuff its normally lod issues but idk how to fix that

[drifting hinge]

did he do the r_lod

[half viper]

you mean did i no i did not

[drifting hinge]

r_lod 0

[half viper]

sadly it didnt work

[drifting hinge]

kill your game are you 100% you did the install correctly

[half viper]

yup

[drifting hinge]

then idk

[half viper]

seems to be leaves and grass that dont like me

[subtle bison]

the hud looks fucked too

[drifting hinge]

touch grass but source engine

[subtle bison]

i would nuke the game and retry

[half viper]

no it just flickers randomly

[subtle bison]

never seen that stuff before in HL2

[drifting hinge]

thats not better

[half viper]

only on main menu

[half viper]

does that mean i have to reinstall portal rtx

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

this is happening on portal rtx?

that's even weirder

[half viper]

its in the thing on hl2 pinned

[subtle bison]

lets move to the hl2 channel

[drifting hinge]

what now i got a ping here

[onyx ridge]

waiting patiently for binary module to be more stable to start messing about again

(i cannot wait to be able to alt tab my game without it crashing half the time)

[drifting hinge]

god i love windowed borderless

[subtle bison]

we've been forcing no bordered windows for gmod for a long while, how are you getting alt-tab crashes?

[onyx ridge]

[subtle bison]

i dont think anyone here uses exclusive fullscreen

[onyx ridge]

i use bordless too, half the time when the game loses focus the bridge throws an error

[subtle bison]

oh 64-bit wont have that issue as there is no bridge

[onyx ridge]

yeah that's why i'm sayign

[subtle bison]

also 64-bit is stable but visually its worse

in fact its more stable than 32-bit

im working on the visual stuff rn but it tanks perf atm

[onyx ridge]

first thing i am doing is remix-ing g64 so the metal effects are absurdly shiny

then again it is like 2 years old

[subtle bison]

hopefully i can push a 2nd alpha release with some fixes and optimizations sometime soon

[onyx ridge]

module/addon that replaces mirrors with a reflective surface when

[subtle bison]

we already had that for hl2-based gmod

i can make a simple addon that replaces mirror entities with a random texture so someone can replace it in remix

shouldnt be too trivial but it'd have to be done at a later point

[subtle bison]

i fix a visual issue, i lose fps
i fix a visual issue, i lose fps
i fix a visual issue, i lose fps
such a vicious cycle...

excluded lights from view frustrum and fps tanks again, i love pushing lua to its limits ❤️

[stable scarab]

that 2080 is holding up very well

the very first ray traced gpu

[drifting hinge]

part of that grind

[subtle bison]

im completely engine bound

[stable scarab]

2080/3080 team here

[subtle bison]

without the visual fixes i get over 60fps in this map lol

hold on i will disable the addon

ok i am a liar

i am gamestreaming from home so idk how much fps that takes

[stable scarab]

some pbr texture pack for remix give me a performance degrade in some source games of 10 to 15 fps minus

[subtle bison]

but yeah for now, a faster GPU will get no extra fps than me with the current state of the view frustrum fixes

[stable scarab]

so in theory when HL2 RTX releases and with all the texture and particles updates/changes that the team included, i would have like 30-40 ish fps maybe some drops to 22

[subtle bison]

nah it'll probably run FAR better than what we have with gmod lol

they have access to the engine source so i imagine it will be much more optimized

even with the PBR assets

[stable scarab]

i hope so

btw right now im at 4k with some source remix games, and i have those fps with DLSS-Ultra Performance 1280x720

[subtle bison]

my game is running at DLSS ultra perf at 1080p lmao

i have a 4K display but i do not have a powerful enough GPU to run remix at 4K

[stable scarab]

damn

so after all my 3080 its not fully outdated yet

[subtle bison]

idk i wouldnt really be comparing GPU performance with gmod rtx, x32 and x64 are still heavily CPU bound in a lot of places

[stable scarab]

and with the upcoming AI generative textures maybe i could use for some more time my 3080

[subtle bison]

i have a 7950X3D which is a very fast CPU and the fact i get 7fps in some maps means the engine is just not having a fun time lmao

[stable scarab]

really nice cpu

you are gpu bound

and engine

[subtle bison]

no i am game engine bound 💀

[stable scarab]

yeah

[subtle bison]

my GPU is not doing anything

i could do DLAA (native) and get the same FPS

[stable scarab]

damn. I'm sure you have a hard time trying to optimize the x64 engine.

[subtle bison]

see, barely even a gap lmfao

ignore the vram stuff, i have another app open

[subtle bison]

perf is back up on maps that dont abuse the living hell out of static props

i tried to compare x32 but it crashes on this map

@quiet scroll ever figure out those bridge errors?

[subtle bison]

wow even some large RP maps run well

guess perf really depends on the map's original optimizations since we're using PVS and PAS

[drifting hinge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3262346233&searchtext=equilibre

[subtle bison]

not sure there is much i can do

[drifting hinge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2886996246&searchtext=lobby

can you look if there are lighting bugs inside this map

like sun not doing sun things

[subtle bison]

custom world renderer does not like this map lmfao

it runs fine tho, no light leaks

[drifting hinge]

ohhh

[drifting hinge]

go outside and shoot a gun

when i go do it flickers sun light

[subtle bison]

with x64?

[drifting hinge]

try with 32bit

[subtle bison]

it was because we werent handling lights in the view frustrum stuff yet

32-bit is crashing on all maps for me lol

i cant

[drifting hinge]

bruh

okay then i guess its just bad for 32bit

[subtle bison]

outside works fine, sun light isnt flickering

[drifting hinge]

alright it must be bug for 32bit or it just works for you then

[subtle bison]

its probably the view frustrum stuff i added today lol

i have a working 32-bit install that is pretty old but i left my ext drive unplugged at home

i can try the map there when i get home

[drifting hinge]

👁️ the mmod weapons...

[subtle bison]

u should see my PBR mods for them

[drifting hinge]

gimme gimme

[subtle bison]

its not out yet, especially since they were made for hl2-gmod hashes, ill have to come back to them at a later point

ermmm lemme switch back to 64bit gmod

But it makes no sense, I clean installed gmod, half life 2, counterstrike, then verified integrity of cache, got rid of all the addons, and still boom boom. It's a crash on the gmod side not remix

So 64bit version does work, but I'm getting these in the console now

Are these the similar division by zero errors you were getting CR?

[subtle bison]

ye im catching them with the VEH, but you shouldnt be getting those at all with that alpha release

does your game crash?

[lament quartz]

@subtle bison pardon the question but i was about to replace the water for my game and was wondering, how exactly do you do it, do you change it to translucent and add the normal?

[subtle bison]

uhh not sure, i modified the existing water mod with a text editor

just changed a hash in the mod.usda

i believe xenthio made the original water mod

@keen rivet

[quiet scroll]

Looks like it's working as intended, it's preventing crashes 🙂

[subtle bison]

ye but like, with the magic dlls xenthio sent me, it prevents divison by zeros so the VEH isnt supposed to be active

also copy the settings in the github readme

will fix the buggy spawn animation

you'll probably need to reload the map too

uhh

where did the image go

oml one sec

it was there when i first released it

i mustve accidentally deleted it when editing the release

updated the github

[quiet scroll]

Thanks! What's VEH?

[subtle bison]

vector exception handler

dynamically handles the division by zeros so the game doesnt crash

[quiet scroll]

I wonder why mines active

[subtle bison]

is your gmod install being managed by steam? (like a normal GarrysMod folder)

or is it a seperate copy

[quiet scroll]

Seperate copy

[subtle bison]

try re-replacing the DLLs in the release archive

ignore my piss filter, but using a clean x64 install, i dont get anything. maybe the mmod sweps use a different particle system?

[quiet scroll]

Hmm still fixes alerts in the console. Ahhhhh wait I haven't tried an mmod weapon yet lemme see

[subtle bison]

ARC9 also causes the VEH errors but those are gone for me too

[lament quartz]

"waaaa!"

[subtle bison]

i can try silencing the VEH in the next alpha build

[livid rapids]

mexico filter

[subtle bison]

yea i was testing some toolkit spawned lights and forgot to remove them lmao

wonder why flatgrass causes the engine to have broken particles, they work in other maps

[livid rapids]

sky shader?

[subtle bison]

maybe

[livid rapids]

try it in construct then

I'd guess it's that since there's really nothing else different from other maps

[subtle bison]

yea broken on construct too

[lament quartz]

yipee working lake

a little streched tho

[subtle bison]

i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

This makes me almost want to try re-installing windows lol

it makes no sense

[subtle bison]

nah it seems broken for everyone else on x32 as well

i cant even load into most maps lol

i swear there was a hidden gmod update that just broke everything (other than the gmod.exe update)

also did u already try removing the github ver of rtx fixes?

[subtle bison]

it doesnt detect the perf hits with a modified view frustrum

but it does for the custom world renderer at least

[half viper]

huh

[subtle bison]

modifying render bounds for static props doesnt really show lol

game just thinks its running slow for no reason

[quiet scroll]

They're doing something, they're set to non public but I wonder when this list updates

[lament quartz]

💔 lol

[quiet scroll]

I'm guessing the jan 6 or 7th one broke it 😦

[subtle bison]

time to start downgrading dlls

/s

we do that with x64 since the binary patches are so finicky now

but its just the required DLLs to prevent the engine from crashing

otherwise its fully up to date

I spilled water

Yep

Makes sense

[lament quartz]

Yeah

Its my main oc 😄

[drifting hinge]

[lament quartz]

Said the person that for a period of time posted only brainrot.

[subtle bison]

nah there was another person who posted a lot more brainrot lol

[drifting hinge]

the brainrot reactor exploded so no more brainrot

[willow fog]

I'm sad.

He got banned for something

He posted the best Mita content

[drifting hinge]

hell nah i was gonna get executed if the brainrot shortage didnt happen

[subtle bison]

40% (idk the actual percentage) perf improvement in big maps 🔥

[drifting hinge]

the cube

[subtle bison]

bigcity_improved no longer runs at like 10fps

[willow fog]

what is your hardware even?

46 fps is doodoo

[subtle bison]

rtx 2080
7950X3D

[drifting hinge]

why the door green

[subtle bison]

we're completely engine bottlenecked lol

[willow fog]

[willow fog]

Still?

[subtle bison]

yeah because all of this is lua

[willow fog]

What's the gpu usage?

[subtle bison]

lemme open rtss

about 70%

im on dlss ultra perf as well

[willow fog]

Ah

Unfortunate

[subtle bison]

@willow fog unless i can perform literal miracles with lua, your only choice for probably getting better FPS is framegen lol

[willow fog]

framegen has really bad input lag

I really hate it

[subtle bison]

hmm i should compare with x32

hold on

[willow fog]

take a look

[subtle bison]

good lord i dont miss x32 loading times

💀

[willow fog]

ah

[subtle bison]

well

guess x64 is the winner lmao

[drifting hinge]

urhh i got that yesterday

[subtle bison]

lemme try a smaller map ig

[drifting hinge]

he doesnt know

[subtle bison]

dude what

not even gm_orange loads

how

[drifting hinge]

your install is now fucked

[subtle bison]

its my old hl2-gmod install that has worked for over a year

how did it break, i dont even update it

[modest whale]

gmod being gmod

my gmod worked fine, left for a month, never opened again

[subtle bison]

i can only assume addons

guess ill disable all of them 😭

[lament quartz]

After I installed 64 but my gmod stopped working on 32bit too

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

how does that even work 💀
these 2 gmod install folders are entirely separate

[lament quartz]

[subtle bison]

both arent even updated by steam

[lament quartz]

Your guess is as good as mine

[drifting hinge]

i forgot where the bridge.conf was downloaded from but i got that and put in where it was supposed to go and removed the comment from the thing and increased the numbers and it worked again (english 100)

[subtle bison]

sweet

ill try that

[drifting hinge]

can i post it here

[subtle bison]

yea i dont think it hurts

[drifting hinge]

insert into .trex

idk if that causes any more issues but it made it stop crashing

[subtle bison]

if it saves my precious x32 install i wont mind any other issues

🥹

[drifting hinge]

bruh

example number 93 of why every gmodrtx install is personalized

idk why it worked for me

[subtle bison]

nah this gmod install is way before that

its from like august or april of last year

oh i think u sent the wrong bridge lol

nvm

i placed the file in the wrong .trex

[drifting hinge]

my .trex folder had no bridge.conf before that

[subtle bison]

[drifting hinge]

you cant be serious

[subtle bison]

ye it fixed it

🙂

[drifting hinge]

Inshallah your gmodrtx install wont break again

[subtle bison]

oml does the setpos command not work in gmod

i need to line myself up in the same place on both versions

[drifting hinge]

setpos works???

[subtle bison]

it does not

[drifting hinge]

bet

[subtle bison]

skybox is not working for some reason on x32 though

though the fps is about the same lmao

[drifting hinge]

and you cant select the skybox textuer

[subtle bison]

ye i guess i gotta spawn a HDRI

[drifting hinge]

[subtle bison]

wtf they also dont work in this map

ok ill just compare perf on gm_orange

[drifting hinge]

boy are you using sv_cheats 1 with setpos

another thing thats broken for you it works on my chernobyl reactor

[subtle bison]

dude

holy

x32 on the left, x64 on the right

and that's even with all of my perf intensive lua addons

[drifting hinge]

many colors

[subtle bison]

yea i turned off post process on x64 cuz i had reshade

i dont think it really impacts perf that much lol

[drifting hinge]

and reshart dont work for me i tried already

[subtle bison]

it does

on both x32 and x64

[subtle bison]

its a pain on x32 but its really easy on x64

on the reshade installer, just set gmod.exe inside the win64 folder to vulkan

thats all there is to it

[drifting hinge]

the 64

[subtle bison]

im not bothering with a x32 guide because you can only access the UI with a controller lol

the bridge messes up input forwarding

[drifting hinge]

controller

like

game controller

[subtle bison]

yes a game controller

reshade supports that

[drifting hinge]

the xbox controller next to my keyboard:

[subtle bison]

💀

time to try LSS with gmod

[lament quartz]

I only use Xbox controller for one game

[drifting hinge]

anyway i dont get the reshade message on startup

[subtle bison]

the only framegen i can get

[subtle bison]

if it's x32, you have to select the bridge exe in .trex

and mark it as a vulkan

[drifting hinge]

should have known that

[subtle bison]

holy LSFG 3 is so peak

it just came out today

x4 frame gen with minimal latency and artifacts

[drifting hinge]

it gotta be goated

yeah that works

was about to include something brainrotty in that

the brain is healing

just alt tabbed back to gmod and now it frozen

[subtle bison]

x32 be like

[drifting hinge]

freezes when adding game systems

okay something happened this time

the preset for cyberpunk2077 in question

[subtle bison]

nah reshade doesnt cause those

since its running on top of the bridge

or at least it shouldnt be

[drifting hinge]

conclusion: its because 32bit

[subtle bison]

nah i've had reshade on x32 for a long while, it never introduced any extra crashes

[drifting hinge]

freeze when the number go 9

hi skurty

finally, i love this map

[drifting hinge]

i tried that map before

gaymod said nope

[subtle bison]

but it's still season 1

we'll see when s6 drops

[loud mural]

How, what did you do?

[loud mural]

It's mostly just a normal prop, so there is no reason it shouldn't be. All it is is a bunch of physics props constrained together at each corner of every square which is why in the video you can hear them colliding on the NPC

GWater and GWater2's implementation uses custom Lua stuff to render the cloth and water so it likely won't work with Remix. Plus it uses Nvidia flex which also doesn't play nice with Remix

[peak rover]

😭

fair

[subtle bison]

optimizing the handling of rtx light updaters, I was doing it too often per frame without any kind of caching

we have the modify the render bounds for them otherwise they flicker very close to the player's camera

[drifting hinge]

oh hello cat named CR

[subtle bison]

kamp kairo is also now playable, this map has a lot of static props

the main bottleneck this whole time is calling setrenderbounds too many times per frame so I have reduced that and also make it slower depending on player distance

even gmod tower plaza is playable now wow

there's no subsurface scattering for skin right now, but that was just announced with the 50 series launch. the current implementation is only for thin planes, like leaves

oof I missed 64bit loading so much

[keen rivet]

true

[hasty sonnet]

how the fuck do i allocate more VRAM

my GPU has 16GB of VRAM

but the game is locking the usage to 6952mebibytes of VRAM

which is 7GB

[subtle bison]

check for other apps using vram in the background

its dynamically allocated

[hasty sonnet]

so i have to turn off GPU acceleration on everything

great

[subtle bison]

no?

if you have something like wallpaper engine, photoshop, anything big, close those

otherwise you have some app on your pc hogging vram as remix always tries to use the most vram it can

[hasty sonnet]

closed wallpaper engine

[subtle bison]

reboot your pc, sometimes the driver has issues with allocation as well

[hasty sonnet]

any other apps

[hasty sonnet]

brotha any other apps?

[livid rapids]

[subtle bison]

same stuff from prelude rtx i imagine

[earnest yew]

id assume more

[subtle bison]

im curious on how they'll do skies though

[earnest yew]

since its open world

and performance would tank

[quiet scroll]

I FOUND IT, damn it was in the dependency stuff

[subtle bison]

perf is pretty good when playing hl2 on prelude's engine

[earnest yew]

but with replacements etc

who knows

[subtle bison]

yea but that then would require optimizations on the remix side

[willow fog]

Mark said that they're working remix side to add portal sky support.

[subtle bison]

i think they did? the newest dxvk runtime has fully fixed 3d skybox support

its almost perfect in gmod

[earnest yew]

arent they adding raytracing skys

traced'

[subtle bison]

ye they are

[earnest yew]

or is that already added
