Garry's Mod

[keen rivet]

what i i just make eyes_dx6

[subtle bison]

i already did

[keen rivet]

oh

[subtle bison]

i looked at the sdk code for source 2006/2007 and also the newer eye_refract shader and backported them to stdshader_dx6 (since that is the only shader lib fixed function source loads)

the same issue stands, eyes dont render because studiorender isnt sending any transform information

so its completely static

so we need to force load whatever shader backend studiorender uses and convert those calls to fixed function

[subtle bison]

remix loads the material but you just dont ever see anything

[keen rivet]

dam

[subtle bison]

i think i could pull it off relatively soon

lmao

keep what you have if it works lol

[keen rivet]

stashing it

[subtle bison]

🤞

[lean hatch]

Fuck you garrys mod

!!!!!

What are you guys doing

[subtle bison]

adding manual zip support if it the launcher cant download from github

[lean hatch]

Oh

[compact blaze]

this is actually amazing

doesnt xess have the same quality at the same performance hit as fsr 4?

[subtle bison]

no idea, but its far cleaner than xess 2 period

i will gladly take a chunk of FPS for it

but tbh it wasnt running that much worse than xess 2

[keen rivet]

Uhhghh light mode....

🤢

[subtle bison]

i blame avalonia because its running in xwayland mode so it cant see my dark mode system setting

[lean hatch]

Boo I use light mode discord

[subtle bison]

the rtxlauncher is the one light mod app on my PC

[keen rivet]

🤢

[subtle bison]

maybe i should just add a dark mode toggle

[keen rivet]

We should hard code dark mode

to be on

[subtle bison]

real

[keen rivet]

You should probably hide those in a dropdown

[compact blaze]

oh ur on rdna 4 so fsr 4 should be running on fp8 right?

[keen rivet]

The overrides

[subtle bison]

prob

[subtle bison]

will do

[compact blaze]

ah ok, prayin all the new amd tech goes to vulkan

im so sorry ur on windows

[subtle bison]

naw im back on linux

i need my driver stability

i sent my crash issue on proton to vulpes who knows the guy working on optiscaler, so it should work there soon

[compact blaze]

anyways so ya fsr 4 should run great cause i forgot u arent on rdna 3

[subtle bison]

@keen rivet

[keen rivet]

Yay much better

[weak ermine]

lmao

amude fanboy

[subtle bison]

ofc on a clean install my load time issues are gone

also @half viper

🙂

[half viper]

HELL YEAH

[subtle bison]

need to push the launcher nightly rq but that should be it

i can send the files to download here too for nightly

[half viper]

I'll be checking it out when im home

[subtle bison]

done 😛

[keen rivet]

lol

[subtle bison]

now i wish it would do DPI scaling but naw it wont for a lowly linux user like me 🥀

long overdue

fucking FINALLY i fixed the broken defaults for API lights

i left some shit in client.vdf from months ago

hmm now what can be done about the 3d sky...

should probably tackle that before eyes

ima go sleep now, i cooked so hard today ❤️

[half viper]

Dream of gmod rtx

[half viper]

i was wondering if i can use hl2rtx assets with topbr

[subtle bison]

salutations gmod rtx chat

[subtle bison]

wdym?

[lean hatch]

Hi cr

Hru

Did you sleep well

[compact blaze]

i think he means the hl2 rtx asset ports

[onyx ridge]

are there any new developments

[lean hatch]

No

Not at all!!!!!!!

[onyx ridge]

terrible!!!

we should kill cr!!!!

[subtle bison]

lies

[subtle bison]

did i already mention hardware skinning and perf fork being merged to you?

[onyx ridge]

ithink so

[subtle bison]

ok then yes no new developments

[lean hatch]

Lmaooooo

[subtle bison]

he-hell naw 🗣️ 🗣️

[lean hatch]

Go figure

[subtle bison]

hbu

[lean hatch]

Am alright, bouta hit my third and fourth shift in a row

Other than that gaming as usual

[subtle bison]

gah dang

[compact blaze]

according to vsauce human meat tastes like veil

[weak ermine]

ok

[compact blaze]

ok

[weak ermine]

ok

[subtle bison]

ok

[compact blaze]

ok

[weak ermine]

damn that hard

[subtle bison]

is it possbile to get any peaker than this?

FSR 4 on linux 😭 🙏

[compact blaze]

aint no way

how?

[subtle bison]

optiscaler devs made a dx12>vk interop layer so we can use the dx12 version of FSR 4

its so peak

[compact blaze]

whats the performance decrease

[subtle bison]

idk havent measured it yet

uhhh its faster????
@compact blaze @winter radish

[winter radish]

Well yeah
FP8 runs on WMMA
INT8 runs on Shader Compute

Dedicated hardware vs Compute

[compact blaze]

they’re comparing how fp8 fsr 4 runs on windows vs linux

[subtle bison]

huh?

naw im just comparing xess and fsr4 as-is on linux

[compact blaze]

oh i meant fsr 4 windows vs linux

[compact blaze]

What performance hit comes from translating dx12 to vulkan

[winter radish]

I’m talking about FSR 4 vs XeSS

[subtle bison]

i mean 0 if d3d12 fsr4 is running better than native vk xess lol

[compact blaze]

I mean like for fsr 4 native dx12 windows vs translated vulkan in linux

[subtle bison]

naw i aint booting into windows

🤢

[compact blaze]

hows fsr 4 visuals compared to xess

[subtle bison]

100000x better

it looks like transformers dlss

[compact blaze]

dude omg wait

he needs to find a way to convert dlss rr to fsr rr

[subtle bison]

fsr rr aint even real rr

[compact blaze]

its better than nothing

[subtle bison]

naw nothing is better trust

[weak ermine]

ahh

[compact blaze]

the base denoiser in remix is so doo doo tho

[subtle bison]

AMD's RR is doo doo

[weak ermine]

shit looks like transformers dlss without looking and acting like that

[compact blaze]

fsr rr gotta do a better job combined with fsr 4

[weak ermine]

even not on nvide gpu

disabled person vs racing car ahh

[subtle bison]

what

[compact blaze]

its not doo dooooo

is there a demo with fsr rr other than cod

because in cod fsr rr seems to do a way better job in denoising compared to the base denoiser, and performance wise at least works in tandem with fsr 4

[steel lark]

wow

lots of stuff happened

did the launcher update?

[winter radish]

Because they don’t upscale the RayTracing like DLSS does iirc

[winter radish]

They’re both FP8

[compact blaze]

also i wonder why they didn’t consider that bit of the upscaling, maybe it was too hard and they had to skip

[winter radish]

Because AMD is doing the bare minimum to be like NVIDIA this generation

It seems like they want the same kind of features without putting the same amount of effort

[subtle bison]

imagine being an AMD user

[weak ermine]

fanboy*

[winter radish]

Says the “AMD fanboy”

[subtle bison]

says the "AMD Fanboy"

😛

[smoky otter]

Says the amd fanboy

[keen rivet]

GOOD MORNING GMOD RTX CHAT

[smoky otter]

Cant even roast me bro

[subtle bison]

afternoon* 🍔 🦅 🇺🇸

🫃

[keen rivet]

BUh uh

Nuh*

[winter radish]

@subtle bison please change the mod name to “Gmod RX” for AMD

[subtle bison]

never

[keen rivet]

What the hell is RX

Oh wait like

Nvm

[subtle bison]

🥀

[keen rivet]

Rx 7800

[winter radish]

🥀

[smoky otter]

Is that the new nvidia gpu

[winter radish]

Ryzen 4070

[subtle bison]

yeah nv skipped 6000

[smoky otter]

Since when did they go straight to 9000

[winter radish]

Because it comes with x9 Framegen

[subtle bison]

RTX 7090 XTX

[smoky otter]

Shame. 6090 wouldve been legendary

And 6070

[weak ermine]

says the developer

[noble vapor]

Good 🌅 😊 silly ppl

[subtle bison]

hi

[steel lark]

helloo

[steel lark]

🗣️ 🔥

[subtle bison]

ok now that im home, FSR 4 looks far worse on linux for some reason

weird because its using the same DLL and stuff

hell its worse at xess 2 with motion

🤢

look how slow the motion vectors are

@winter radish still working on that native interop layer?

oh i think its because its using the wrong model, the masks look different for each one, i wonder which is the right one

model 5 seems to be the cleanest in motion and in stationary

[subtle bison]

ok nvm model 2 is the best overall

idk what windows automatically selected but i assume im a lot closer to it now

[winter radish]

You sure you fixed your motion vectors?

[winter radish]

Ye

[subtle bison]

pretty sure, xess 2 is more responsive, but after selecting model 2 for FSR 4 is far better

yeah this is good

[subtle bison]

yep windows uses model 5

[winter radish]

Well the models are for different presets
Each model is tuned to each setting

It’s like how DLSS has Model M for Quality-Performance and Model L for Ultra Performance

[keen rivet]

Is this almost like DLSS?

It's hard to tell how good something is from a video

[winter radish]

FSR 4 FP8 is near DLSS 4 Transformer level

[keen rivet]

near
😔

ok what about 4.5

is that near 4 or 4.5

[winter radish]

I mean, yeah, AMD’s first proper ML Upscaler, while NVIDIA has years of experience

[winter radish]

Just 4
FSR 4 isn’t near DLSS 4.5 level, especially at lower presets which 4.5 improved heavily

DLSS 4.5 is far more FP8 heavy, hence why it costs so much on RTX 20 and 30 series

[half viper]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3667626147

i have no idea how this works

but it looks so good

it looks like it just making the normals stronger as the torso bone rotation increases

or am i just speaking out of my ass

[willow fog]

Yeah, basically. When a specific joint rotates, it changes the strength of the normal map. Which area of the NM to be affected is controlled by a mask

That's how most games do clothing and face wrinkles

[livid rapids]

Ooh that's the gta v cloth normal stuff

Was it the first game to implement something like that or was there another before it?

[compact blaze]

i mean tbh them having to be on fp8 to match 1st gen transformer reminds me of big navi having to be on a smaller node to match the 20 series

[compact blaze]

its a shame u cant use ray regeneration

nrd on remix is so bleh

i feel like nrd on remix isn’t tuned right it cant be that bad

Slow response, blurry, ghosting

[willow fog]

Pretty sure games had been using it for faces longer not sure about cloth though

[modern quest]

you guys can ping me for fun today

[willow fog]

uh

[weak ermine]

[subtle bison]

[weak ermine]

give me some gtx 1080 ti sigma edits

[subtle bison]

i wanna do this so bad 😭

my friend used to do 2x 980 ti sli with the high brandwidth bridge in 2017

when it was still barely relevant

[compact blaze]

[modern quest]

i ran 2 RX 580s

[subtle bison]

oh

[compact blaze]

this is userbenchmark coded

[subtle bison]

lmfao

[lean hatch]

1780$

[modern quest]

tbh, i used it until 2023 on and off and it was still usable

[compact blaze]

do u run userbenchmark

[subtle bison]

hell no

🥶

[compact blaze]

how did u go from gtx to rtx 5080

[weak ermine]

money

[subtle bison]

how do u get moneyt

[weak ermine]

gamble

[lean hatch]

Need every gtx card to run my bunny mech

[subtle bison]

we love gambling

[weak ermine]

[modern quest]

10 years of climbing a ladder with missing rungs and falling a few times

[compact blaze]

sorry i dont know that idiom

[subtle bison]

where and how

[weak ermine]

here and magic

[modern quest]

u know what a ladder is. climbing the ladder is indicative of progress forward/upward

rungs are the steps on it. if you're missing some it's very difficult to move forward. and falling means you'd have to start climbing it all over again

[lean hatch]

Give us ur gtx cards and well deliver it to you on your doorstep by march

We need gtx cards specifically because rtx cards are too heavy and slow down the bunny mech

World domination imminent

[subtle bison]

what about intel uhd 630

[modern quest]

hmmmmm

[weak ermine]

what about rx

something

[modern quest]

do the titan cards count

[weak ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-covering-mouth-stream-scary-speed-scared-gif-3435748839023247479

[lean hatch]

Nobody's gonna say "oh no a bunny mech powered by intel, run away!"

[weak ermine]

what cr just did?!

[lean hatch]

Good question, whats a titan card

[weak ermine]

bigass trillion ram card

[modern quest]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/titan-xp.c2948

they were the 3090 before that was a thing basically

this was the highest end card in the 10 series

along with this one ig
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/titan-v.c3051#gallery-4

[lean hatch]

Woah now thats a card

[modern quest]

can u believe they made star wars versions of them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MXjvf_pjcI

[subtle bison]

i need the titan v cuh

holy moly its so hawt

[compact blaze]

i wonder if this has anything to do with the star wars rtx tech demo

[subtle bison]

this doesnt have RT cores tho?

[modern quest]

i don't think so, outside of their connection with disney at that time

[compact blaze]

ikkkk but like

them doobg star wars stuff

bruh i cant speak ima just take a brrak

breal

brrak

[lean hatch]

Does it have raytracing abilities

[compact blaze]

break

[lean hatch]

O

[modern quest]

bork?

[modern quest]

sadly not

[lean hatch]

Damn

[modern quest]

well, kinda. it can do some RT in some early RTX games, but it doesn't have hardware support for it

[compact blaze]

https://youtu.be/0bEZC22f4Qk?si=nBF0UoMrw_3NPybF

[lean hatch]

Hm

[modern quest]

yeah i elaborated for that 😆

most 10 series cards could do this too

[compact blaze]

crazy to say cyberpunk is technically an early rt game

[modern quest]

crazy to believe otherwise 😆

[weak ermine]

what is cyberpunk

[lean hatch]

Its like

A dude who comes to your house and spray paints on your tv

So you yell

"Thats my cyber, punk!"

[weak ermine]

oh okay thanks

[subtle bison]

hi

[weak ermine]

ehh

and

first time seeing word "sexy"?

[sonic apex]

tis funny

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison how does mesa 26 improve rt performance for u?

[subtle bison]

barely for remix

windows proprietary is in another league

😭

[compact blaze]

doesn’t rdna on linux run better compared to windows?

[subtle bison]

for raster

RT is still behind for RDNA 4 on linux

idk if pixelcluster (the dev who did the perf improvements for mesa 26) will do anything more

most of those optimizations were also targeted to UE5

🙁

[compact blaze]

from what i understand valve contributed a ton of rt improvements for mesa

[subtle bison]

ye that's mostly pixelcuster's work

[compact blaze]

by how much?

[subtle bison]

i havent measured it but windows is substantially faster

like i could use XeSS balanced for mostly every map on windows where it has to be on Ultra Performance on linux

[compact blaze]

but i remember with rdna 3 mesa drivers were so much more optimized than windows no?

[subtle bison]

yes but im specifically talking about RDNA 4

im sure RDNA 4 will be better on linux at some point for RT, but that day isnt here yet

[compact blaze]

massive shame, is rt performance in linux still above rdna 3

[compact blaze]

for u what resolution is xess balanced

[subtle bison]

720p > 1440p

[subtle bison]

pretty sure

[compact blaze]

i hope they make mesa efficient to the point u can run fsr 4 quality at the same fps

[lean hatch]

Wawa

We've been goofing off with it for a while

Oh my fucking god how to do

[lean hatch]

Were maybe getting a ff version soon so id wait for that

[lean hatch]

Its

Not a launcher

Its js the exe

[dense crow]

Nah

I'm jesting

I know how to mod remix in

[lean hatch]

Personally id wait for the fixed function mod

[dense crow]

I'm not that new

[lean hatch]

Currently the shader version is not all that good for performance or visuals

what does that mean

[dense crow]

Like

Image wise

[subtle bison]

i mean you're using the same DLSS version between both right?

[dense crow]

Uh?

[lean hatch]

Why

[willow fog]

No shadows

[lean hatch]

Cuz im using the skybox

As a semi emissive

[willow fog]

This isn't the cr sky?

[weak ermine]

shityy game

[lean hatch]

Half and half

I didnt set the sky as a skybox, and it produced that effect

It does the same thing on psychonauts

[willow fog]

Hm. You'd be better off disabling the game sky. You either get shadows from a normal looking sky or you get a stylized sky except everything on the ground is cloudy

[lean hatch]

The thing is the Sun rays move around

[willow fog]

Eh

[lean hatch]

Eh?

[willow fog]

Like

Eh?

What do u mean rays move?

[lean hatch]

Like

When I move around, the sun rays move around too

Like the world moving around the camera

[willow fog]

Ah

[willow fog]

Unfortunate. Do the camera transformers stay static in the dev settings view?

[lean hatch]

Yeah

0,0,0

[willow fog]

Damn

[lean hatch]

Hopefully the fixed function mod fixes that function

[willow fog]

I was gonna redownload it

[lean hatch]

Dont even bother tn

[willow fog]

Ah yes. Fixed functions

[lean hatch]

It does also have some issues that rogue trooper has

With vertex spaghetti

In a way

[willow fog]

It did get a lot better with that one update a few months ago

Basically eliminated all the bad stuff

[lean hatch]

Oh fr? Can you show me

[willow fog]

Rogue trooper has this one dumb fucking issue where it won't let mouse inputs pass to the overlay. Sometimes itll work radomly but most of the time it refuses to do anything.

I may have posted a clip

After

You can see I was unsuccessful with the

Uh

remix menu stuff

[lean hatch]

Ah

Huh

[willow fog]

Literally nothing marked

[lean hatch]

Interesting

Do you think the most recent remix uodate would fix that?

[keen rivet]

Good morning gmod rtx chat!

[weak ermine]

good night gmod rtx chat

[keen rivet]

[lean hatch]

Morning xenitho

[keen rivet]

Morning!

Did I miss anything cool?

[willow fog]

#github-updates message

[lean hatch]

I meant

Do you think the most recent release could fix the menu thing

Iirc they changed how it works right

[willow fog]

Maybe. I'll need to redownload the game because I lost a drive recently and a lot of games are gone now.

oh wait

[lean hatch]

Ah

[willow fog]

looks like it was inn the drive that survived

Let's see

[lean hatch]

Something something i lost the game too

[willow fog]

heh

[subtle bison]

good night

[modern quest]

🤔 you go to sleep this early??

[willow fog]

Very carefully

[subtle bison]

naw

[subtle bison]

bro escaped the matrix

[jade surge]

is that the brutalist house map? I could never get that map to work properly

[winter radish]

And majority of RT optimizations being on RDNA 2

Probably because of Valve’s Steam Deck

[subtle bison]

no they were targeted to the steam machine

so RDNA2/3

[lean hatch]

The qupl65/7

Too bad it’ll cost an arm and a leg
(Thanks AI companies) 🥀

[polar anchor]

I think Hardware skinning messes with jigglebones. They dont work as they should

[subtle bison]

hw skinning is still heavily WIP so expect a lot of things to not work

though i had jigglebones working fine for a few models in my testing

[polar anchor]

Mine were moving and bouncing, but they werent setting in the right spots

EX: Eyeballs were floating out of the eye sockets

TLDR they weren't properly attached lol

@modern quest can u pin this
#1116089843479498782 message

[polar anchor]

At least on the model i was using, they arent connected. There would be a seam between them and the body. I dont use hardware skinning for a multitude of reasons lol

[subtle bison]

what is this "multitude" of reasons

disconnected limbs, jigglebones, and faces are all the same issue

[polar anchor]

I like being able to see my icons and my guns when customizing

[subtle bison]

if you mean the vertex explosions in raster, those are fixed

[polar anchor]

I tink that there was something else, but i cant remember lol

[keen rivet]

[brittle token]

they stole my node links. cant have shit in gmod

(the button to change the render mode of the links doesn't do anything, maybe it counts as a bug?)

[brittle token]

who needs PBR generators anyways. imma just use the diffuse as a heightmap.. and a roughness. and maybe metallic too

DBR- Diffuse Based Rendering

yuh

i need to refactor my fork changes to latest upstream anyway

insane stability 🙀

[keen rivet]

1HOUR NO CRASH CHALLENGE NO LONGER IMPOSSIBLE!?

[subtle bison]

new remix runtime = new gmod arg

the fog is coming

you need to run

[livid rapids]

What

[subtle bison]

nvidia changed the UI

[weak ermine]

looks kinda

shitty

[lean hatch]

when you lowkey hate so much that you become the boy who cried wolf

[subtle bison]

i gave up trying to revert it, too many breaking changes

its here to stay

[lean hatch]

i like the new ui

the old blue one annoyed me sm

[weak ermine]

shit

[compact blaze]

i wonder why they suddenly decided to change the ui

[compact blaze]

i think they mean how they changed xoxor’s og ui

[lean hatch]

Ah

[compact blaze]

i do think xoxor’s ui still looks cleaner

[lean hatch]

I didnt know xoxors

So

[subtle bison]

i liked how much more compact it was

[compact blaze]

@subtle bison i summon thee

show the xoxor ui

[subtle bison]

uhhhh

[compact blaze]

also the way these choice boxes look i think look less proper compared to xoxor

[weak ermine]

this shit from toolkit

defaults

[lean hatch]

Sorry but like

We cant tell the difference

[subtle bison]

huh?

[lean hatch]

Besides the buttons

[weak ermine]

yes we cant

its like win95 vs win11

rough boxes vs

fancy

ahh

lines

[subtle bison]

uh what

this layer system confusing as hell

[weak ermine]

kinda

too high

a little

[wispy crest]

1 billion samples

[subtle bison]

500 cigarettes

[weak ermine]

five

hundreds

sentries

[subtle bison]

why the hell are graphics presets top load order

its making the runtime reject my API-inserted and rtx.conf entries

ok well instead of fighting it, i just lobotomized the layer system to make rtx.conf highest priority

idk why the RIS light sample count displays incorrectly, its actually at 24

evil gmod rtx

[viscid ocean]

now you see

[subtle bison]

lmao wtf

[subtle bison]

have you tried doing
https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModPatchTool
and making a new gmod rtx install

[viscid ocean]

why did you remove the preformance build

was so fucking goated

i was getting like 100 fps and now im getting like 30

[subtle bison]

because its integrated into main

[lean hatch]

thats uh

certainly audio

[viscid ocean]

always named new project

[weak ermine]

what the fuck

is that

[viscid ocean]

its good wdym

[subtle bison]

my ears are blessed

[weak ermine]

jumpscare

[weak ermine]

where u can get this build

[subtle bison]

nightly will be out soon, it takes like 40 mins to build on github's runners

[weak ermine]

no im about

remix itself

just remix not for gmod

[subtle bison]

ye im talking about remix

oh

[weak ermine]

where i cant download last version

[subtle bison]

ok now im confused

[weak ermine]

why

[subtle bison]

are you asking for a build that has that change but none of the gmod rtx specific stuff?

[weak ermine]

yes

just official

build

im kinda dumb where i can get it

[subtle bison]

i can include it in the atmos sky build, it needs to be updated to the latest upstream changes anyway

[lean hatch]

[weak ermine]

this is 1.4.0 remix?

[subtle bison]

its the latest changes from upstream

with the smooth normal stuff

[weak ermine]

where i can get that shit😭🙏🥀💔🥀🥀🙏🙏

[subtle bison]

oh if you want vanilla, download their action build
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/22205332719

[weak ermine]

yey

thanks

[viscid ocean]

the textures dont work

i have the game installedf

[subtle bison]

gotta do the USDA fixes

the demo only includes a few textures, a lot of stuff isnt going to be replaced

oh wow the hl2 fake volumetrics work now, i wonder what changed

[lean hatch]

Wow

[weak ermine]

damn

they're still exist

i remember on last versions they are so transparent

[subtle bison]

this is latest nightly if anyone wants to try

i have re-done the rtx.conf so let me know if shit broke

[weak ermine]

check 2004 hl2 and last release

[subtle bison]

yeah ik what ur talkin about

[lean hatch]

W

[subtle bison]

new runtine has fucked up API-set runtime settings bruhhh

[lean hatch]

Sob

[subtle bison]

so weird to see these after them not working for like 2 years

the devil

for some reason smooth normals just crash the game for skinned meshes

[lean hatch]

Is thay with smooth normals

Oh

[subtle bison]

naw alyx crashed my fuckin game

[lean hatch]

INTERLOPER REFERENCE

[subtle bison]

lemme try it with hw skinning on

[lean hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/lex-luthor-lex-flashnuke-interloper-interloper-f-gif-13260015520446052571

[subtle bison]

peak

ok so hw skinning makes no difference, it seems to be per-model

alyx always crashes the game, grigori and kleiner work fine

combine looking clean with smooth normals 🥶

anyone on windows want to try seeing if enabling smooth normals for alyx crashes their game?

[lean hatch]

On it

Yes

It does

[subtle bison]

rip

i might to hop on windows to check if the wine gdb debugger ends up being a pita

death

[onyx ridge]

what is the 1

[subtle bison]

idk

this is a fresh launch

maybe a blacklisted addon?

[weak ermine]

nah

he just sigma male

he not like others

[keen rivet]

i like it more

the dropdowns are better

dropdowns as in not comboboxes i mean the collapsing headers

[keen rivet]

i thought they worked for a while and were just ignored

i remember them working previously

[keen rivet]

click install usda fixes,

[keen rivet]

@subtle bison did you finish the remix version port thing

because i cant run latest builds lol

[subtle bison]

ye, latest everything working fine for me

new runtime is far more stable

i removed a bunch of deprecated shit

[subtle bison]

make sure u hav latest launcher n shid

[half viper]

@subtle bison turns out its not rtx launcher issue

all apps that use github to clone or download anything or even connect to it show this

[subtle bison]

did the zip stuff work for u

[half viper]

yes

all thanks to you

<3

[keen rivet]

update your windows

you might have outdated certs

[half viper]

probably gonna upgrade it to windows 10

[keen rivet]

wtf are you on right now

[half viper]

windows 11

[keen rivet]

windows 11 is fine

[polar anchor]

which fixes package is the one to use?

Im trying to get the newest files and I cant tell which source is newer

[polar anchor]

Also i think the dynamic cloth mod is doing this

[subtle bison]

the nightlies?

[polar anchor]

what?

Nightly, there is 2

one under xentho and one under you

[keen rivet]

hi i'm xenthio

[weak ermine]

cr, i think its ur time to do it 😭🙏 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3669946645

[subtle bison]

perf fork is dead

[polar anchor]

im not on perf

lol

[subtle bison]

you said there is two, one for perf and main

perf is under my name

[polar anchor]

bruh i am tired, how did i miss the perf part

anyways im getting crashes that arent vk device lost errors for once 😂

[weak ermine]

wait are u csm guy?

[subtle bison]

yeah hes the csm guy

[weak ermine]

no way

[subtle bison]

not really surprised

[polar anchor]

though i will say I only saw it on that model in particular

[half viper]

@subtle bison just downloaded the latest actions build for dxvk remix
whenever i load into a map it doesnt register any input

not even mouse movements

[subtle bison]

you have to install the latest fixes nightly as well

they share the same remix api headers

[subtle bison]

wait do you mean vanilla remix, that wont ever work

[half viper]

nope i meant your repo

[lean hatch]

Garry

[half viper]

agency looks cool btw

[subtle bison]

the fuck the skybox works now???

all csgo maps had broken ones last time i checked

is this a workshop port or something

[half viper]

its a workshop map yes

[steel lark]

@subtle bison why is the nightly version of the fixes package not shown? while the rtx remix is?

[subtle bison]

i prob missed something in setting up the github workflow

[steel lark]

reference

xess - ultra performance - default denoiser

DLSS - ultra perf - cnn

transformer

zamn

why is transformer the worst

[steel lark]

hdr when (again)?

[sonic apex]

when pumbo get's around to it

[weak ermine]

volumetric clouds when

(again)

[subtle bison]

pls

[subtle bison]

you're telling me xess looks better than dlss? nuh uh

[steel lark]

i'm saying rr transformer is worse than the denoiser

[subtle bison]

ah

[sonic apex]

are you able to do volumetric clouds via single scattering? markov chain pain guiding supports single scattering :p

[steel lark]

especifically in enviroments with little detail

that dlss just hallucinates some sort of detail into

[subtle bison]

we really need mcpg

[subtle bison]

hope a new model of RR comes out

[steel lark]

with performance it doesn't do that but then my fps gets too low, i'll rather just use ultra performance on dlss with no rr

is fsr coming to gmod rtx?

[subtle bison]

fsr4 works via optiscaler

vulpes has been working on a native implementation but i heard there is a few issues

[steel lark]

hmmm might try it later

[subtle bison]

AMD's sdk is so bad

[steel lark]

realistic skybox sun editor AND moon editor when?

[subtle bison]

you're on Linux right? it's an absolute pain to get fsr4 working and it doesnt at all on proton yet

[steel lark]

i thought you meant optiscaler on goverlay

[sonic apex]

wished I knew someone who knew how to implement it lol
feel bad about pestering vulpes about it because they would have to restart from scratch.......

[subtle bison]

i thought about it but i wouldn't really know what im doing to ensure it's done right

[sonic apex]

same lol

[subtle bison]

im trying to stop working on projects that are a little too far out of my wheelhouse

[sonic apex]

supposedly it's not terrible to implement but remix's codebase is just a little too dense for me lol

[subtle bison]

what on God's green earth is this frontend

[sonic apex]

so many moving parts

[subtle bison]

i recommend 100% to install it manually

but i wouldn't yet until proton 11 comes out so the winevulkan fixes for fsr4 d3d12 interop show up

[steel lark]

[compact blaze]

what is this

[steel lark]

i don't even knwo

[weak ermine]

Gayverlay

[viscid ocean]

volumetric light dont work properly

some light dissapears when i look away from it slightly

what is the fix

😢

and when i walk into shadows in some maps the light gets all fucked up

[subtle bison]

sounds like culling?

[viscid ocean]

i think so

how do i fix it though

[subtle bison]

make sure you're on the latest nightly for the runtime and fixes package

[viscid ocean]

oke

[subtle bison]

culling patches have changed how they work and depending on how long ago you installed the game, you might be running the stable version without those patches

[viscid ocean]

i reinstalled yesterday

[subtle bison]

hmm, i updated the patches around the same time

could try updating both again, you spawnmenu should look like this afterwards

as for light culling, make sure this is off

[viscid ocean]

i reinstalled and it got worse

[subtle bison]

unless engine patches broke overnight, something is off with your install

@viscid ocean would do a clean install like i did here

[steel lark]

holy compression

[subtle bison]

you hooked it up?

🙀

[willow fog]

Cooked

[subtle bison]

i would prob invert the direction so the arrow points to where the sun is casting shadows at

like the distant api light

[keen rivet]

AS GARRY INTENDED

[keen rivet]

thats not how it works in gmod

[steel lark]

it's setting the config lmao

the latency is bad

also it's set as a user conf, so rtx overrides it if you touch it at all so it stops working and you need to remove it from the rtx.conf

[subtle bison]

lol yeah i had a guess

[steel lark]

how do i make a wheel that turns once every 24 hours in gmod

[onyx ridge]

wiremod and a timer

[steel lark]

wiremod disrespect button

starfall and code ✅

• make it spin manually
• code!!
• good
  wiremod and timer ❌
• yucky physics that's gonna bug probably
• not really what i meant with every 24 hours

[weak ermine]

gmod just crash

after 3 hours

[subtle bison]

naw we got that stable gmod rtx now 💪

[steel lark]

try not to crash in 2^32 seconds (impossible)

[subtle bison]

my last session was over 3 hours

[weak ermine]

okay

after 3.1 hour

iq too high?

[subtle bison]

i have the urge...

the fix the eyes...

[subtle bison]

looks like i was right, engine just does an early return in studiorender/shaderapidx9 if it doesnt take the shader render path

gonna try to force the engine to take the shader path anyway and then redirect it to my custom eyes_ff dx6 shader

[weak ermine]

force engine to take a shower

[subtle bison]

this relies on a custom stdshader_dx6 file and patches to studiorender, so i hope rubat doesnt fuck us

Has Rubat scewed us over before? and if so how badly?

[willow fog]

Multiple times. He's fucked us so many times and in so many ways that he's considered the bull of this thread.

[subtle bison]

Lung gah...

so wait

what's left, we got both hw skinning and eyes...

👀

[loud mural]

What about skybox shenanigans?

[subtle bison]

oh yeah that isnt fixed yet

[loud mural]

and HW skinning needs to be finished ofc

[subtle bison]

oh right i need to ping @woeful phoenix for the stuff to make hl2rtx replacements work

i looked at hl2rtx itself, it doesnt hw skinning for faces so we dont need to worry about that

[loud mural]

Then what about the corruptions with it on in RT cameras?

[subtle bison]

corruptions? like the weird spawnmenu thumbnails?

[loud mural]

Nah you know how when Breen is on the monitor his face is all fucked up with HW skinning on?

[subtle bison]

thats fixed, but we need to force RT for those anyway

[lean hatch]

isnt there a rendertarget tag

[subtle bison]

yeah, but it causes some weird stuff with the first person camera

playermodel shows

[half viper]

Do we have a list

For all broken stuff
