Garry's Mod

[pulsar flicker]

this year

nvm i got it working

and it just crashes my game

[subtle bison]

@meager oar was this built for new hashes? it doesnt seem to work for me

[earnest yew]

poor uncle

[subtle bison]

wish we knew what happened to him

[earnest yew]

kims been in deep slumber

hopefully we will get something

[subtle bison]

ye

[crystal storm]

I was able to DM Burrito and he answered me there, I'll play it safe and not share the info here. But damn, one of the first faces I met here and bam, gone. Every remix I work on from here on out gets a "RIP Burrito" easter egg in his memory. Say what you will about him but it was nice to see him in here each day

[lament quartz]

Uncle left?

[crystal storm]

Banned, sadly

[weak ermine]

why

[night bramble]

damn

[meager oar]

Yus

dayum where uncle go? oh well he'll be back I guess

[earnest yew]

HEY LADY

WHERED YOU GET A HEAD LIKE THAT

[meager oar]

why are you so crazy

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/labrinth-dancing-labrynth-david-bowie-animals-gif-11701656

[winter radish]

ML vs temporal is a losing battle

I guess NVIDIA is using a hardware agnostic neural network, just locked artificially, lmao

[winter radish]

RR isn’t that different from AMD’s Neural Supersampling and Denoising so maybe it’s the same instruction?

[steel lark]

or repeatedly subtract by the next power of 2 and place a one on that power of 2's place

[winter radish]

@sleek mountain any comment on this?

[meager oar]

o_O

O_o

🧐

[winter radish]

@subtle bison I also asked the AMD Vulkan lead why RR might be working

[meager oar]

damn did u upgrade your gpu

[subtle bison]

yep

[subtle bison]

im using fakenvapi

so its probably whatever non NV exclusive part of RR that works

[winter radish]

But which part

That’s what I want to know

[subtle bison]

dunno boss

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kiryu-virtual-insanity-silly-like-a-dragon-gif-4000862905886740655

[winter radish]

NVIDIA better give answers and then make RR available to RDNA 4

[subtle bison]

yea remix without RR is kinda dealbreaking

i dont even care if high fps makes up for it, all shadows are universally soft 💔

[meager oar]

which gpu? A 4090? 😬😬😬

[subtle bison]

rx 9070

im assuming im in RTX 5080 territory with the undervolt lol

the RT perf is off the charts

[winter radish]

I think I know what the problem might be, RR is meant to be enabled with DLSS, you’re using FSR and it’s using that to try and denoise

Might be better with FSR 4

[subtle bison]

not to mention the nvidia driver specifically handles RR as its own model

the amd driver has nothing like this

[winter radish]

Pete is replying

[sleek mountain]

I’ve got no clue about any of this… you would have to ask Nyle

[meager oar]

No RR 💀

[winter radish]

Seems to be working actually, just noisy

[subtle bison]

i mean it doesnt really work though

its nowhere near the output of how RR looks on nvidia

shadows take forever to update

[meager oar]

do the shadows move when you move In game?

[subtle bison]

im wondering if its just falling back to a different method when it doesnt work correctly

[subtle bison]

wdym

[winter radish]

But are we sure that’s not due to the lack of a ML upscaler

[subtle bison]

idk, we need someone who understands RR fully to explain

[winter radish]

@shut juniper

[meager oar]

if you look closely without RR when you move left or right the shadows at the edges also move (probably ghosting) it was a huge headache for me before RR update, I couldn't stopped noticing it

[subtle bison]

@meager oar this?

[winter radish]

Noticed you have the FG option unlocked, what happens if you use Nukems somewhat working mod?

[subtle bison]

it crashes immediately cuz of the old optiscaler version

it doesnt support nukem fg

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

do we know any working ver of the nightly builds?

[winter radish]

I haven’t checked, been focused on bugging AMD for a native FSR

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/do-something-meme-gif-8007840

vulpes asking amd for native fsr support in remix

[winter radish]

Also, I noticed when shadows do catch up, with RR they look sharper than without, unless I’m tweaking

[subtle bison]

lemme re-enable fakenvapi and re-record a sample

[winter radish]

They said it’s something they can help with just might take awhile

[subtle bison]

oh wow i think RR does actually work

i think you're right vulpes, its just missing a denoiser model

shadows are FAR sharper

i would rather have RR work completely on AMD before FSR 3 FG or FSR4 at this rate lmao

total gamechanger for visuals

[winter radish]

Might have to poke at NVIDIA to decouple RR

[subtle bison]

considering it works here without the RR denoising model, it probably is to some degree in remix

[meager oar]

oh ye that

[winter radish]

If it’s fp16 it might work on RDNA 3
If it’s fp8 tho, then it’s RDNA 4 only

@subtle bison honestly, would save a lot of time if NVIDIA allows us to decouple RR in P2 RTX because then we don’t need Neural Supersampling and Denosing and can focus on FSR 4

wait, does NRC work?

[subtle bison]

no

same issue as before

you can select it ingame but it errors out

[winter radish]

Ok then we might need AMD for that one

[meager oar]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[subtle bison]

oh the ghosting

[meager oar]

how the heck we played like that before RR update 💀

[subtle bison]

meanwhile im back in the remix stone ages for the time being

🙂

ill definitely keep the 2080 around for the toolkit

nothing a egpu enclosure cant fix

[winter radish]

Until I get that working too

[subtle bison]

bet

i might look into it too if i get desperate

amd is fully api light compliant 🤓

[winter radish]

RDNA 4 becoming 2nd best GPUs for Remix

[subtle bison]

fr this shit so stupidly fuckin fast

[winter radish]

Especially with the prices

[potent agate]

do you have the base 9070 or the XT version?

[subtle bison]

base

[potent agate]

still not bad

much better than that 2080 for sure haha

[subtle bison]

you can get XT perf very easily

either by undervolting or vbios modding

i said it a few times before, im pretty sure im in RTX 5080 or 4070 ti territory in PT perf

and this is with an unofficial FSR mod

[potent agate]

I know my 4070 ti super does pretty well

[steel lark]

https://tenor.com/view/profound-mental-intelligence-roblox-red-gif-13245759162418962770

[winter radish]

And undervolting a XT just

[subtle bison]

yea RDNA 4 is so peak

❤️

[winter radish]

Maybe instead of factory overclocks, manufacturers should do factory undervolts

[potent agate]

I left my gpu at stock

[subtle bison]

i got mine knowing i'd be undervolting it, the base 9070 is a lot more binned than the XT

because of lower power draw

thank god the rest of the specs between both GPUs is largely the same

[potent agate]

idk if the 4070 ti super can get closer to a 4080

power draw and temps are very good already anyway

the highest gaming temps I've seen is 67C

[subtle bison]

i believe the base 9070 is around the same

[earnest yew]

i am from the future

[subtle bison]

but mine is cooking because its on a lower PCIe slot with barely any air space for the fans

[earnest yew]

i have the PTX 890

8090

[subtle bison]

my stupid nh-d15 is blocking the 1st pcie slot

[subtle bison]

so i have to buy a bigger case

[potent agate]

classic

I would compare my fps in remix but driver requirements be like, and I'd rather have a stable system

but iirc I was at like 180 in construct

[subtle bison]

you could probably downgrade your remix build to something pre 1.0.0 and it would still be comparable

its not like my gpu can currently use transformers or anything anyway lmao

[potent agate]

true

0.6 still has a higher requirement lol

[subtle bison]

guh

[potent agate]

maybe one day they'll fix the drivers

[subtle bison]

amd also has a pretty nasty bug lol, anything that is fullscreen or native resolution, the app appears unresponsive to windows even though its not

so for remix i need to have my res like 1 pixel off from 4K

and for other games i just cope

[potent agate]

that's a weird one

according to this my gpu should be a lot faster
but a bar is just a bar

[subtle bison]

this is a really good site for accurate numbers

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-9070.c4250

[potent agate]

this is more believable

[subtle bison]

yea urs beats mine by 3%, but this is most likely in raster scenarios

iirc they do some mixed RT testing but not alot

[winter radish]

Just test the same settings and map and compare

[winter radish]

@subtle bison bet if you post a video of RR on AMD, they’re will be a couple YouTubers on it, lol

[meager oar]

i just found out theres a option for changing the sharpness for defualt lighting..AHHHHHHHHHH i wish i had knew about it earlier

[potent agate]

installed the new drivers
standing in this corner with no upscaling at all at 1440p

with the ultra preset

[subtle bison]

bet

wait

[winter radish]

@subtle bison can you send me your Opti setup so I can see if RR works on my GPU, might indicate if it’s fp16 or fp8

[subtle bison]

@potent agate if ur still there
do getpos and send the output from the console

[potent agate]

setpos 879.968750 -1775.968750 -79.968750;setang 1.452010 141.096375 0.000000

[subtle bison]

what if i told you its the exact same one i asked you for earlier today 🙂

[subtle bison]

ty

@potent agate so you're here now?

it didnt tp me to that spot

[potent agate]

no I haven't moved

[subtle bison]

guh

what ver of construct is it, the normal one?

[potent agate]

rtx

[subtle bison]

oh

[winter radish]

I’d say

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-liar-star-wars-lying-gif-8634649

[subtle bison]

but its not

you shipped fake nvapi with it lol

[winter radish]

Did you change the opti.ini?

[subtle bison]

nope

didnt change a single thing

[winter radish]

But I don’t get RR or FG options

[subtle bison]

agony

[potent agate]

not too far off

[subtle bison]

we also prob have wildly different rtx.confs

either way yea its close

[potent agate]

mine is at default

besides the quality settings and no dlss

with dlss ultra performance I get 120 fps haha

[subtle bison]

same spot?

[potent agate]

yeah

[subtle bison]

i wonder how FSR3 scales

time to see

[potent agate]

oh yeah quite the difference

gpu is sitting at a cool 55 C

[subtle bison]

60 according to mine

for now im gonna blame that on the shitty cooling situation 🙂

[potent agate]

I lose fps with frame gen on???

[subtle bison]

i cant even turn it on

[potent agate]

I go to like 90 fps when it's enabled lol

[subtle bison]

i imagine it takes a bunch of gpu power to encode fake frames or something

[potent agate]

before it worked fine so idk why it doesn't now lol

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-7166268503332967470

disabled RTXDI and nee cache

lmfao

[potent agate]

oh wait I'm stupid net graph doesn't show fake frames

[subtle bison]

there is legit gonna be a day where AI upscaling and RT hardware perf improvements are gonna beat rasterized performance

jesus christ

[potent agate]

I only get 190 with ultra perf with FG

[subtle bison]

[meager oar]

rtxdi wrking?

[potent agate]

I mean it's still above my refresh rate so I can't complain

[subtle bison]

rtxdi i dont think is that useful when you have RR

but its needed for us amd plebs 🤓

[winter radish]

RX 9090 XTX when

[potent agate]

RTX 4070 ti super ultra when

[meager oar]

but the steal indirect sample setting there is cool

the gun looks good with it idk why its making the shadows sharper on the arms though

[potent agate]

even still I remember doing ray tracing with my 2060

it was uh yeah...

I should try it again one day for the fun of it

gmod will probably kill it though

or rtx remix in general

[meager oar]

so like all we needed to do was turn the indirect sample stealing option on for it to make noticeable difference

i thought it didnt do anything

[meager oar]

thats basically the 5070ti

[potent agate]

so true

[meager oar]

literally 5 or 8 fps diff just like how 4070 to 4070ti super models have 10 fps differences to each other 💀

[winter radish]

@subtle bison Yeah RR ain't showing for me

https://tenor.com/view/you-lied-to-me-anakin-gif-23177049

[subtle bison]

guh

i wonder if its because i have remnants of a nvidia driver?

i legit have no idea why its showing for me

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-hand-out-give-me-orangutan-give-me-hand-out-mine-gif-27199184

[lapis delta]

nrc/restir

well, i think restir is better for now

[winter radish]

@subtle bison latest optiscaler nightlybuild works with Gmod RTX

just make sure to enable Vulkan extensions spoofing and NVAPI override

See if FG works because the option is still locked for me

[lament quartz]

Fr? damn

[near tartan]

18% VRAM usage 💀

Use DLSS quality Atleast 😭

Maybe even full res

Oh wait

I’m replying to the wrong screen shot

Oh wait no

I’m wrong again

I was right the first time

But yeah you most definitely do NOT need DLSS preformance

[hasty sonnet]

id like to request your fucking pbr file, hand it over bro

[turbid barn]

i've notified that some textures upscaled via PBRify crashes my gmod

Default HL2 grass and few custom textures

idk i'l maybe capture clips later

@subtle bison have you tried FSR4 in Optiscaler?

uh, it's not supported for Vulcan 😢

[jade edge]

Behavior i guess?

[winter radish]

@subtle bison another good test for RR should be reflections

[steel lark]

how the hell

🔥

[winter radish]

@subtle bison What happens if you stop replacing DLSS with FSR and try to use DLSS straight

afaik DLSS doesn't use CUDA, just tensor which is a AI core and RDNA 4 AI cores can do RR so why not DLSS especially with support for all the things like fp16 fp8 int8, etc

Oh, also I think the current NRC won't work cause it does need CUDA

[subtle bison]

does zluda work

[winter radish]

Probably not

https://tenor.com/view/watame-hololive-tsunomaki-watame-sheep-gun-gif-24529740

now try DLSS

@subtle bison Also does changing the RR modes from CNN to Transformer actually do anything?

[subtle bison]

it breaks rendering on transformers

[subtle bison]

yes sire

[winter radish]

Interesting

[winter radish]

good luck solider

[subtle bison]

it looks like optiscaler injects fakenvapi, doesnt work when you remove optiscaler

if i delete nvapi64.dll i also lose RR and FG

so im pretty sure its just fakenvapi exposing these options lol

[winter radish]

It's gotta be something with the AI cores because the options are locked for me with fakenvapi

[subtle bison]

you're using the same fsr mod archive and also windows?

[winter radish]

Yep

[subtle bison]

guh

[winter radish]

so it's recognizing something as compatible

[subtle bison]

i think we need more testers

also i think RR also showed on linux?

[winter radish]

I have a feeling DLSS CNN would work if the option was enabled

[subtle bison]

FG didnt because it requires gpu hardware scheduling but that isnt a thing on proton

im gonna try adding zluda now lol

[winter radish]

Hmmm, might be worth for me to compile that fp16 to fp8 merge

the one that enables FSR 4 on RDNA 3

maybe those features are looking for fp8

[subtle bison]

lul

uhh i can select NRC now?

[winter radish]

Is it...workking?

[subtle bison]

nope

goes back to to importance sampled the moment i go ingame

so same issue as before

[winter radish]

also we might be able to unlock DLSS just by modifying the runtime so I might try that

Remix is open sourced so the code locking DLSS for NVIDIA can be changed, lol

[subtle bison]

4K DLSS perf with a bit of undervolt tuning

🏎️

FSR 3 scales much better at higher resolutions

[winter radish]

Also can confirm, NVIDIA's transformer engine is just using fp8, not the new fp6 or fp4 on Blackwell

[subtle bison]

native dlss when

[winter radish]

When we somehow get Opti to not inject FSR and just unlock the option

I did contact the dev to see if that's possible

[subtle bison]

you mean like this?

[winter radish]

Exaclty that

[subtle bison]

it uhh

sorta worked?

and also sorta didnt

lemme record

[winter radish]

WDYM SORTA

even sorta working would be huge

[subtle bison]

right before it switches to FSR 2, there is those weird gray graphics, no idea if thats DLSS or just optiscaler falling back to FSR 2

ok yea this is just a FSR artifact

DLSS does not work lmao

[winter radish]

At least we got RR

Gotta convince NVIDIA now to let us decouple that

[subtle bison]

once again, is it not possible to edit the dxvk runtime to do this?

the model itself loads, just not the driver-level denoiser

[fallow mesa]

2160p
dlss cnn perf
FG off
4070 ti

[winter radish]

It probably is, but gotta make sure they would allow a pr to do that

[subtle bison]

you could make a fork for now

[winter radish]

ye

also

https://github.com/intel/xess/releases

XeSS 2 added Vulkan support a month ago

[subtle bison]

GUH

does optiscaler support this

[winter radish]

Nope, not yet

[subtle bison]

[brittle token]

there aren't many textures on it, mostly because the workflow i use crashes a lot, so processing a texture can take over 3 tries

[winter radish]

Time to bug Intel again

[fallow mesa]

can arc 770 run remix?

[winter radish]

@subtle bison I was wrong, Vulkan XeSS was added to Optiscaler, just hidden?

The nightly build didn't show it as a option for Vulkan but I guess it is

[subtle bison]

isnt modern optiscaler broken for remix tho

[winter radish]

Not Gmod RTX

tried it last night

I did ping you about it

[subtle bison]

oops

[subtle bison]

maybe?

[winter radish]

it can, it's the B series that's broken right now

[fallow mesa]

b580 ?

[subtle bison]

so this will probably work?

[winter radish]

probably?

but Gmod you can use the imgui menu

[winter radish]

B570 and B580

[subtle bison]

@winter radish it doesnt seem to work lol

DLSS is enabled but its not active

also fakenvapi brokey now for some reason

[winter radish]

Oof

[subtle bison]

i mean optiscaler nightly in general, how did you get it working

[winter radish]

In the ini, you need to enable Vulkan extension spoofing and Override NVAPI

[subtle bison]

huh

I don't think i tried that

[winter radish]

It’s needed for Remix

[subtle bison]

nightly seems to crash on startup on linux

[winter radish]

Oof

[subtle bison]

RR indeed also shows up on the older version that includes fakenvapi on linux

this is RDNA4 tho

[winter radish]

There’s an option to spoof hardware scheduling

[subtle bison]

ill test the bc250 in a sec

[winter radish]

We’ll find out if RR is fp16 or fp8

[subtle bison]

this doesnt seem to exist on the older optiscaler ver

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

i swear i got nightly working before on the bc250

very weird

lol yep

#1235342704829796505 message

gonna move the convo to the NSP server so i dont flood this thread

[modern quest]

NSP?

[subtle bison]

night sight productions

vulpes's server

[fallow mesa]

how to install optiscaler?

[subtle bison]

follow the instructions on the github

[fallow mesa]

I did it and nothing happened

install in "GarrysModRTX\bin\win64"

[winter radish]

You can also get it here

pre setup and everything

[modern quest]

oh right lol

[subtle bison]

i present: the rtx remix toolkit enabler for amd users 🤓

[earnest yew]

cant u just spoof it

spoof having another gpu

[subtle bison]

too lazy

this is peak

[earnest yew]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-minions-popcorn-day-laugh-gif-5026739

[subtle bison]

my 2080 hasnt even out of commission for under 24 hours

i will work it until it cant work no more

ok this is not working lmfao, i think im out of pcie lanes

my peripherals are randomly turning on and off

[winter radish]

Toolkit has very extensive checks

[winter radish]

[pulsar flicker]

I have no clue

ima just make my own

[subtle bison]

it is

[compact blaze]

What’s fp8 and the other versions of it?

[compact blaze]

Is this dlss on amd?

[pulsar flicker]

ah

https://shadermap.com/home/ cool thing i found

could help with generating pbr

[winter radish]

Floating point and the numbers stand for the amount of bit, so fp8 is (8-bit floating point) and it’s used in deep learning AI like DLSS and FSR 4

[compact blaze]

Ah ty

[steel lark]

it's pretty well known i think

i've seen a lot of people talking about lol

[pulsar flicker]

ah

looks like it just disables denoising

[keen rivet]

what?

:(

[crystal storm]

Yep #general-remix message

[keen rivet]

oh rip

[crystal storm]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-crying-spunchbop-gary-sad-gif-23822800

[subtle bison]

wdym only lol

[winter radish]

Denoising struggles but it was found to reconstruct sharper shadows compared to RR off so it’s working to an extent

@subtle bison did you ever test reflections?

[subtle bison]

nop

[winter radish]

[subtle bison]

ill find something reflective to test with

maybe water

[winter radish]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-anime-boy-cute-brown-hair-blue-eyes-gif-14123927101467002865

[subtle bison]

nah reflections are much worse

ngl they look pretty much perfect without RR anyway

[loud mural]

Does anyone know any compex HDR only maps other than Atmospheric House and CS:GO maps?

[subtle bison]

the csgo ones are the heavy hitters, i think there is a pool map that is HDR only? dont think its very complex tho, lemme find it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2849511871&

nvm

this one is SDR

[loud mural]

@subtle bison
https://github.com/0xNULLderef/SourceRTXTweaks/blob/main/applypatch.py

HDR in roial live

[subtle bison]

so HDR maps work now wtf?

[loud mural]

The way we did it was so fucked but it works

We just load the lump data anyway and it results in fucked lightmaps but the lights load

So who cares lol

[winter radish]

That denoiser goes brrrrrr

[loud mural]

I haven't crashed so far as of testing this

[subtle bison]

in other news, api lights and the model hooks now crash my game like everyone else

i did not change anything on my system 💀

my gmod was the same as it was 12 hours ago or so since i last messed with it

maybe i can finally track this shit down

[winter radish]

Casually switches GPU
“I did not change anything”

[subtle bison]

oh right i did plug in my 2080

ill try a full reboot without it

[loud mural]

Normal:

After patch:

[subtle bison]

lol

[loud mural]

But Remix sees none of it except the lights so it's okay lol

[subtle bison]

yeah no im fucked

i even reinstalled my entire game

something with windows is causing this

im gonna boot into linux and see if they still work there

what

its happening on linux too what the living fuck

is the bug caused by the time of day or some shit? that's the only difference lmfao since the last time that they worked here

i rolled back my time to a day ago, nada

i have absolutely no clue what just broke the binary module

its not a game update nor addons

[subtle bison]

ok yep

i tried this on 2 different PCs

they also crashed

did rubat just send some kill command or something lmfao

[loud mural]

Well at least you can attach a debugger now. Weren't you wishing for this crash earlier lol

[subtle bison]

yeah

just odd its happening out of the blue for multiple systems at once

[loud mural]

You mean things outside the binary module as well?

[subtle bison]

nope, just anything in the binary module that uses a hook

so xenthios model fixes and my api lights

so C++ lua functions that dont use any hooks work perfectly fine still

[loud mural]

Yeah wasn't that the same issue everyone else was having?

[subtle bison]

multiple people

[loud mural]

Well there you go your lucky chance to debug it now on your own system I guess

[subtle bison]

yep am doing it now

[loud mural]

Also I'm not 100% sure what to do about this but an unintended side effect of this patch is that LDR+HDR maps now load HDR light data instead of LDR data. Do you think that's relevant to anyone here?

[subtle bison]

uhh i dont see why thats an issue

since remix discards lightmaps anyway

[loud mural]

I just spotted it now on a specific map that has wildly different light setups for LDR and HDR

[subtle bison]

oh

[loud mural]

But the lights are different

[subtle bison]

yea i get it now

[keen rivet]

[loud mural]

and most maps are LDR+HDR

[keen rivet]

ray reconstruction is definitelty not working

thats just denoising off

[subtle bison]

RR has its own denoiser, but it also has some remix-specific stuff that's separate

so its "working" to a degree, now to say its working properly is an entirely different thing

[keen rivet]

i dont think its working at all

nothing there is ray reconstruction at all

its just the ray reconstruction compatible settings turned on

[subtle bison]

maybe, i havent looked at what the toggle exactly does

[subtle bison]

is this really an issue though? I thought it's preferrable to use the HDR version of a map in vanilla gmod anyway lol

the "artist intended" way

[loud mural]

Yes probably like 99% of the time unless your talking about G-String: Beta

HDR:

LDR:

The second imagine was definitely what was intended

[winter radish]

2nd image is 90s movies
1st image is 2000s movies

[loud mural]

Unknowingly I played the entire mod in HDR before I knew they were set up differently and yeah it makes the mod probably 1.2 times more edgy lol

Yes

But I kinda messed up my nrc while testing

[lapis delta]

this is me rn

[half viper]

same the game says addons have changed remounting then ded

finally found a way to play the damn game

i needed to turn rtx off before loading omfg

I'll come for you.

[subtle bison]

I think i figured it out

we're hooking shaderapidx9 dynamically when loading a level, without any kind of safeguards. This is probably leading to an invalid d3d9 device pointer that remix will later try to use

[willow fog]

what did u do

there's a 3 day hole in my memory

kim hit me in my head with a bat

[subtle bison]

api lights and model hooks have been working for me for a while and then i got hit with the same crash issues people had last night

so im debugging this shit as much as i can before it magically starts working again

[willow fog]

[compact blaze]

GOAT

[subtle bison]

saved a 8gb dump right where it happened too

hopefully i got all i need to fix this once and for all

[compact blaze]

[willow fog]

Hey @subtle bison can you package the next release with the latest actions build runtime.

I NEED to use the fixed tonemapper

[subtle bison]

i thought mine already had it

[willow fog]

It's not a part of 1.0

[subtle bison]

the gmod remix build is seperate so i can just sync the fork if there isnt any breaking changes

[subtle bison]

oh you mean for x32

[willow fog]

No

For x63

64

Whenever it comes out

[subtle bison]

x64 should already have it, does it not? its based after the tonemapper changes from a few weeks ago

either way ill update it

i should probably make x32 use our custom remix build since it doesnt break anything anyway

[winter radish]

@willow fog you’ve been gone so long, @subtle bison Switched to AMD

[willow fog]

I know. I'm so disappointed that I don't even want to talk about it.

[subtle bison]

but my performance is so good

i am in the 4K 60fps club now 😊

i will be able to admire the detail of the mw base weapons when u release the PBR mod

[willow fog]

I give u a simple challenge. Turn on tf model rr

Go ahead

Waiting

[subtle bison]

it doesnt work lol

you can turn it on but it doesnt really do what RR does

i have a full cup of copium dw

[weak ermine]

its not a bug

genius

[turbid barn]

mg, at a certain distance the flashlight starts to shine in a ring. Not closer, not farther away

Are you saying that's the way it's supposed to be like that? Smart.

CR YOU WHATTTT?!?!?

[subtle bison]

☺️

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/issues/16

💀

[brittle token]

i think rtx remix renders everything on 3d, that probably means the flashlight too, you might notice that if you get close enough into a wall, it will cut off the viewmodel of the weapon as well (most visible with the gravity gun i think). no idea if that's very fixeable

[subtle bison]

nah flashlight isnt part of the viewmodel

[turbid barn]

As I've said before, only on centrain distance

[subtle bison]

xenthio created a custom spotlight entity to replace the broken flashlight

[turbid barn]

If you get closer to wall - flashlight will be ok

[brittle token]

strange, i thought it just dissapeared if you get closer

i think i might have gone overboard with the detail on the crowbar's head

[lapis delta]

WAZAAAAAAA

[subtle bison]

finally

best of both worlds

toolkit is running on 2080, remix game on RX 9070

[lament quartz]

Dual loaded gpu?

[subtle bison]

rtx 2080 is in a egpu enclosure over thunderbolt lmao

i have no space for a 2nd gpu in my case

[lament quartz]

Ah

Lame!!!!!!!

[subtle bison]

say what you will, but being able to use the toolkit while also running remix at the same time is fucking incredible for asset design

[winter radish]

Casual 145fps

[subtle bison]

[brittle token]

my computer spools up just watching that image

[distant crystal]

What brand enclosure?

[subtle bison]

razer core x

its a bit old but works great

[brittle token]

Ok

[subtle bison]

ok

[subtle bison]

giving me them closed mall vibes

[brittle token]

original:

[brittle token]

yeah. in a more meta way. it's giving i-went-on-a-remixing-spree-for-some-hours-and-now-some-lights-dissapear-because-i-attached-them-to-objects-too-far-away-from-the-capture-source-(i-only-used-one-cuz-im-dumb)-and-only-now-i-noticed-that-it-was-like-1%-of-the-mall vibes

[subtle bison]

if you want lights to be stable, go into the geometry debug view ingame and find a stable hash, then ref all lights in the toolkit to that object so they're anchored in the world

[brittle token]

oooh

[subtle bison]

this is x32 right?

idk what is exactly stable there

[brittle token]

yep

[subtle bison]

i dont really recommend it, but x64 renders the world in a different way and you can pretty much anchor lights to any world geometry

as long as capture mode is enabled before capturing

[brittle token]

epic debug freeze

HOLY SHIT

rtx remix creepypasta material

[subtle bison]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

[brittle token]

and it's all jittery and stuff, lol

[subtle bison]

ye its meant to jitter

[brittle token]

well. these albums dont really seem to jitter their color by distance

[subtle bison]

ye if multiple instances of those albums all have the same color, its a good anchor point

dont anchor to anything that ever changes color

[brittle token]

and the roof changes colors a lot, kinda chose it cuz if i grab onto a repeated mesh it will do weird shit, like creating ghost lights (scary)

[subtle bison]

ye for x32, the best anchor points are static props

[brittle token]

imagine a world where all hashes are stable

(i was in that world until i loaded the enhanced assets in-game)

[subtle bison]

x64 is the place to be for stable hashes

but not much else atm lol

im cooking up some stuff to hopefully bridge the gap between both versions but its gonna be a bit

[brittle token]

well, at least i still have my thin-walled reflections

trash

[subtle bison]

what was used to upscale? pbrify?

[brittle token]

a custom gigapixel node + pbrfusion 3.0.2

replaced the CESS or whatever upscaler because it ate my VRAM for breakfast

[lapis pewter]

this works for me now even when running remix toolkit at the same time

[wispy crest]

i love pbr

[viscid ocean]

help

hl2 rtx textures dont work

yes i launched as admin

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison u should really add a warning to the launcher that the hl2 rtx assets need to be unpacked

[subtle bison]

as surething said, there is a bunch of replacements from the hl2rtx demo that don't have any assets, leading to gray textures

so this is quite normal

[viscid ocean]

no textures are rtx

hl2 rtx

[subtle bison]

if you're getting gray textures on supported maps like ravenholm, you need to unpack the assets

[subtle bison]

i just said there is a bunch that don't have any replacements 💀

wait for the full hl2rtx release instead if you want literally everything

[viscid ocean]

i know

i have NO textures that have been updated at all

no props

nothing

waiut

oh

let me do something

[wispy crest]

gm construct uses a lot of its own custom textures

not related to hl2

[viscid ocean]

it crashed when i launched it

as well

it has a chance it crashes

[subtle bison]

yea im gonna make some launcher changes while im thinking of it

[viscid ocean]

ok now its just basic texturesd

i did nothing

[subtle bison]

😊

[viscid ocean]

i do NOT see that

[subtle bison]

ye cuz i just added it 💀

[livid rapids]

Is there a good normal map upscaler? some maps like alex's have mats with good normal maps but they're usually a bit low res

1024x or so

[subtle bison]

you could probably use stable diffusion with a tile controlnet

its quite a manual process but i've had somewhat good luck with it

[viscid ocean]

wait

im actually a dumbass

what does it mean by extracted rtx io assets prior to mounting

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/gmod-rtx-fixes-2/wiki/Using-HL2-RTX-Assets-in-Garry's-Mod-RTX

if you wanna know why, its at the bottom of the guide

[viscid ocean]

how do i do this?

[subtle bison]

type cmd into the file explorer address bar and press enter

[viscid ocean]

OH

wait

i just didnt paste in the command line

i was doing it right

mb

[subtle bison]

btw you should refresh the guide webpage

i had to make a change at the end

[viscid ocean]

ok i did all of it

but when i launch the game it immediately crashes

i mean like 3 seconds into launch

[subtle bison]

every single time?

[viscid ocean]

yes

when i untick this it works but no custom assets

[subtle bison]

send the logs from /rtx-remix/logs

[viscid ocean]

when it reaches 96th asseet loaded it crashes

[subtle bison]

your logs look just like mine so the material errors arent causing it. Maybe a driver issue or corrupted hl2rtx game?

i say this because your game is crashing outside of remix

[viscid ocean]

wait

i just realized

the game

that i had copied

and used as my rtx remix

😐

[viscid ocean]

ok

i just did it again

and it gives me an error this time

thats the log btw

[subtle bison]

dump doesnt really give me anything useful

bridge crashes are a common thing unfortunately

[viscid ocean]

it happens every time

and when i disable hl2 rtx mount it doesnt let me alt x

[subtle bison]

i think you need to nuke your gmod rtx install from orbit

something sounds cursed

[viscid ocean]

i did that

still dont work

let me try installing it on 64 branmch again

[subtle bison]

@winter radish I think you will like this

[viscid ocean]

ok

it works

omg it works

[winter radish]

[viscid ocean]

but the shadows are glitches asf

[viscid ocean]

(it was always like this btw)

not a new glitch

look up

looking down

[subtle bison]

do you have niknaks installed, a lot of core addons arent loading

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861839844

[subtle bison]

https://github.com/Xenthio/RTXLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.11

@winter radish wanna try the optiscaler stuff?

[wispy crest]

you might need to tell people to install niknaks and such in the launcher

[subtle bison]

i was thinking about that

[wispy crest]

because a lot of this is just assuming that people know what they are doing (they don't)

[compact blaze]

Honestly I do feel if nvidia wants to make rtx remix be even more a genuine source of graphics modding then they should try invest in making it way way way more viable for other gpus other than base level support, like native support for other upscaling solutions and optimized settings for those other cards, u get what I mean?

[subtle bison]

i can make it detect the addon id for niknaks in the steam workshop folder, if its not present it will block installation

and then tell the user to install it

[subtle bison]

ye

i want working RR on amd

[wispy crest]

when I created a texture replacement and put it on the workshop, I had countless of people ask me what it is and what it does

I couldn't be more clearer in the description

[subtle bison]

but how idiot proof do we need to go

[wispy crest]

just assume that your player base has the intelligence level of a rock

[subtle bison]

remix is a modding platform and gmod rtx is just another foundation for it, so the project ASSUMEs the user knows what they are in for

[compact blaze]

Ya like it’s only really playable while looking good on nvidia cards, with amd and intel when u just install an rtx remix mod, the experience just stinks if the end user doesn’t further modify remix to make it work like optimized config for amd/intel and optiscaler

Like all of this should already be there in remix

Instead of others having to jam it in

[wispy crest]

you know exactly what to do, but people doing this for the first time have no idea what to do, they just see rtx and are like "ooo gimmie"

[compact blaze]

Idk I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m complaining

Cause I really really want rtx remix to succeed

[subtle bison]

time to add a disclaimer on what this project does on launcher startup and make them wait 10 seconds before pressing ok

[compact blaze]

Genuinely blew my mind when It was first announced In 2022

[subtle bison]

yea i do too, its the most fun project i've spent time on

[compact blaze]

Just the ability to add pbr and asset replacements to a game is already a deal maker

[wispy crest]

rtx remix is a major leg up on the competition, nvidia has no incentive to make it play nice with other cards

[subtle bison]

ye but its gonna die a quiet death if they dont

we need user adoption 💀

[compact blaze]

I don’t mean it like that, I mean like have it be viable for everyone else whos not in nvidia

So people can see it as a more viable product

Cause it’s already so niche

Having it harder and worse to run on other companies systems will drive people away

[wispy crest]

people will see that you need an Nvidia card to experience it, so if they want it, they'll need a Nvidia card

[compact blaze]

I’m sorry ain’t no one buying an rtx card for remix

I’m admitting that myself

[subtle bison]

i literally switched to amd and still use remix

[compact blaze]

The biggest rtx remix guzzler in existence

[wispy crest]

I hope that they will make it work for all cards, but I find it hard to believe

[wispy crest]

you're also insane

[compact blaze]

Ya with a lot of tinkering on the user end with Linux drivers and optiscale, it runs amazingly

Sometimes Better than nvidia cards on the same tier from what I’ve seen

[subtle bison]

is it really insane when the barrier of entry is already low enough to get stuff working

[compact blaze]

And that’s without RR that increases performance further

[subtle bison]

like seriously the technical hurdles to get other vendors working is not much

its all about vendor cooperation

we could've had AMD and intel support years ago

💀

[wispy crest]

well a lot of the problem is like

[compact blaze]

I remember how shocked I was when portal rtx released seeing how it performed on a high end amd card

[wispy crest]

people thinking it'll just work

on their card that's like, 7 years old

and they complain that the performance isn't good

[subtle bison]

my 2080 be like

[compact blaze]

I’ll just stop talking I don’t wanna slowly get heated over rtx remix 😭

@subtle bison pls keep arguing for me instead of doing further productive work ty ty

[subtle bison]

im cooked for the day so sure 🤓

[compact blaze]

Thx bestie

[wispy crest]

anyways, you'll need to idiot proof the installer

[brittle token]

the 2000 rtx series were kinda like an early access

[subtle bison]

more like a good long-term investment

if i still had the previous 1060 i would have probably not have touched remix

[wispy crest]

I upgraded from a 1050ti to a 4070S just so I could play hl2rtx

[lapis delta]

[brittle token]

early adoption of new tech tends to mean instability, slowness, lack of games that use said technology, but it does help make sure the company isn't going to discard the idea

[subtle bison]

inb4 nvidia sets all remix projects to archive only tomorrow

[wispy crest]

real time RT and PT isn't going away

it's the next big step in games

[subtle bison]

can RT go away though, its either rasterized or path traced, no middle shit

[brittle token]

i really hope we dont get physX'd

[compact blaze]

Honestly I feel after hl2 rtx if the reception isn’t taken well enough rtx remix funding might taper off or even be cut off

[wispy crest]

physX didn't do a lot of stuff like RT does

[brittle token]

mmm. but what about rt GI?

[subtle bison]

its still not gonna be close to a fully path traced image

[compact blaze]

Ik that’s the doomer in me saying this but it sounds like it’s cooking lol

[wispy crest]

unlikely

[subtle bison]

the good thing is that remix is fully open source

[brittle token]

yep, but it's going to ensure a lot more performance. i can run gta 5 enhanced with all rt stuff on ultra and not notice slowdowns

[wispy crest]

people are going to bitch and moan about lighting because they are so used to rasterized lighting

[subtle bison]

the RT effects barely do much in that game 💀

my point

[compact blaze]

I’m saying this cause I can’t believe a company as monumental that could shift the us stock market in a snap would invest in smth so niche, it doesn’t feel like the boring execs would wanna continue supporting it Y’know?

[wispy crest]

and for some reason people think hl2rtx is made by valve and or Nvidia???

[compact blaze]

When ur seeing out of context clips online or tweets from nvidia promoting rtx remix ya it’s not hard to see why

[wispy crest]

and then people also think it's going to replace hl2

like it'll just go away

[compact blaze]

This is getting too depressing I don’t wanna keep thinking of negative stuff and negative people lol 😭

[brittle token]

they did advertise it kinda like that for the nvidia thingy. for the valve thing i suppose they are thinking valve is more involved than "yeah bro do whatever"

[wispy crest]

and half the people complaining can't play the damn thing anyways

like, no bro, your 1080ti can't play it

[subtle bison]

its almost like brand exclusivity caused half of the PR nightmare of hl2rtx 😛 /s

[wispy crest]

well it's to sell cards

you want to experience hl2rtx? buy nvidia

[subtle bison]

im not gonna sympathize with a company wanting sales when the economy is in the shitter

[wispy crest]

yes I know remix can be used with other cards

[brittle token]

cant amd high end cards kinda play it?

[winter radish]

Will in a sec

[subtle bison]

on linux you can even emulate RT on amd with decent performance

so a vega 56 could even run it

[wispy crest]

man I saw people complaining that their 3090 couldn't play it

and I was like

[brittle token]

linux W

[wispy crest]

you are doing something very wrong

[winter radish]

Linux is broken in HL2 RTX right now

And that’s a runtime 1.0.0 issue

[brittle token]

linux L

[subtle bison]

ye i remember

wait no

its only broken for AMD

[winter radish]

Ye

[wispy crest]

AMD L

[subtle bison]

iirc nvidia still works fine on linux

[brittle token]

what's the wrong thing?

[winter radish]

I mean when both Windows and Linux is broken across different drivers

also @winter radish is it only broken on linux? cuz newest runtime works fine on RDNA4

on both OS's

[winter radish]

Windows and Linux last I checked

3090 shouldn't struggle with remix lol

[winter radish]

RDNA 2 and 3 were facing crashes

[subtle bison]

so RDNA1 is fine? the bc250 also runs the latest runtime with no issues

[brittle token]

i think the 40 rtx series only gets a pass cuz of frame gen

[wispy crest]

I can play it fine without frame gen

I can play it fine without dlss

[brittle token]

at what res?

Anyways ya I do really hope they invest more time in making remix work way better on other cards, maybe not directly working with the other companies but at least adding ways to optimize for those non rtx cards and ofc add other upscaling solutions like fsr 4

[winter radish]

Lol
I read an article and PS5 silicon seems to be AMD’s first attempt at hardware RT so it predates RDNA 2 RT

1080

[brittle token]

fair enough, i probably shouldn't be trying to play it at 1440 with a 768 monitor

[winter radish]

Also, I’ll check again, maybe they pushed a secret update

[subtle bison]

i remember running remix full res on my rtx 2080 by using a CRT

ah that was so peak

[wispy crest]

I like 1080p
