[charred viper]

shouldnt this be merged into the existing thread for this

[charred viper]

@coral hollow can we please merge this into the other thread for this game

[coral hollow]

it can't be merged, only deleted

repost whatever you want there, then i'll delete this

[prime notch]

Yoo this aint workin for me @inner creek

I copypaste and the game wont launch

[prime notch]

the dinput8 file is not working

[inner creek]

try to rename it to dsound.dll

[prime notch]

still no

then?

@inner creek

[inner creek]

it runs without widescreen patch (dinput8)?

[prime notch]

its like the size and place where ug1 opens

@inner creek

[inner creek]

it runs or not without dinput.dll or dsound.dll?

[prime notch]

ye but as i said its bad

[inner creek]

Did you set your screen resolution in .ini file?

[prime notch]

1 sec

[prime notch]

yes

no reaction

[inner creek]

I don't know what is the reason, maybe there are some dependencies not installed, when I installed Portal RTX from steam it also installed "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable", maybe that's the reason.

[prime notch]

ok

can you do a setup vid?

like whole

[prime notch]

also which version?

[inner creek]

install latest, both x64 and x86

[prime notch]

ok

[prime notch]

The game is so buggy and 5 fps

I cant change any settings

[prime notch]

wont work with fullscreen too

[inner creek]

what gpu do you have?

[prime notch]

AMD RADEON 6600XT

@inner creek

[prime notch]

i heard its amd compatible

[inner creek]

yes it is compatible with rtx-remix, but not compatible with dlss, even my overclocked to 42tflops rtx3090 gives me 7-10fps at 4k without dlss

[prime notch]

dlss is off i think

but how do i fix where is the screen?

btw nice card

[prime notch]

@inner creek

[ocean nimbus]

AMD's path tracing performance is terrible right now

You won't really see much better performance than that on an AMD gpu right now

[prime notch]

oki but does this mean that i shouldnt use it?

[ocean nimbus]

You won't get playable framerates

[prime notch]

then no

[prime notch]

@ocean nimbus is there any alternative?

[ocean nimbus]

Other than getting a new GPU or wait for AMD's path tracing drivers to get better, not really

[frosty hawk]

Or use Linux

[inner creek]

New houses

[coral hollow]

nice work

[prime notch]

its working on linux?

imma downloading linux but which linux?

also is it ok on hdd?

[frosty hawk]

AMD has better drivers on Linux for 6000/7000

As for Linux OS, I'm not sure since I mainly use it on my Steam Deck, I know there's some Linux users in here tho

And then HDD should be ok, although not recommended

[prime notch]

i only have an hdd free

@frosty hawk can i dm you?

if have some questions with linux

[exotic vine]

I hear that Linux Mint is a good starting point

[clear cedar]

linux mint is nice option

[clear monolith]

the remixed graphics alone make me want to buy the Need For Speed Underground game

geez does this just look so good

[inner creek]

Hey guys. I created over 100 hi-res custom textures retaining original game look, this week.

[exotic vine]

not bad I like

[unreal lagoon]

That's extremely impressive. Well done

[broken remnant]

road looks cool

[somber void]

Good job, do you have a video?

[prime notch]

Muito bom msm, impressionante

[hollow matrix]

are the facades from AmbeintCG?

[inner creek]

No, from stable diffusion

[inner creek]

I'll make it when I finish the houses, and also post an update on moddb.

[split pasture]

That looks really rtx

[leaden otter]

Too mmuch crushed black

Physically inaccurate and looks bad

Literally losing out on detail

[inner creek]

What exactly physically inaccurate?

[coral hollow]

i think they're referring to the colors

the contrast is indeed too high imo. there are crushed black levels

[inner creek]

I'll do it later, and it can be done in few clicks, it is not even a problem. Textures in higher priority, a lot of emissive masks should be done first of all.

[oak bison]

has anyone else experienced crashes after finishing a race ? it runs quite well on my rtx 2080super (8gb vram) but its like 50/50 to crash everytime when finished and about to load the reward menu. I tried different versions of bridge / dxvk but results are more or less same

[unreal lagoon]

Also for the record the crushed blacks can be addressed within the Remix runtime itself. There's eye adaptation/tonemapping options there. Good work btw, I'm impressed with output of the AI model overall

Personally I actually like the high contrast look

Bet it'd be beautiful on an OLED

[leaden otter]

I have an LG OLED, that's where I'm viewing these images. There should be pure black where it makes sense, crushed black levels are not appealing and they're effectively reducing the dynamic range and realism of the image

[unreal lagoon]

Fair enough, I think it wouldn't need too much changing to fit the bill for a more contrasty look though

While having enough range

[leaden otter]

Sure you can have very high contrast without crushing near black

A very common issue in games is raised black floor, especially with poorly done HDR implementations, but we've got plenty of simple solutions for that such as specialized shaders.
But when there's black crush you can't do anything to recover the lost detail

[inner creek]

Just started using new upscaler "SUPIR", result is amazing!
(texture of Peugeot 206 headlight used in this example)

[unreal lagoon]

Holy shit

That's unbelievable

Should do a before and after comparing vanilla graphics to a shot with SUPIR upscaled textures. Curious what that would look like

[sly finch]

this is insane

[coral hollow]

yeah SUPIR is a great tool

[unreal lagoon]

Congrats on the mod spotlight!

[broken remnant]

damm looks good

[stiff inlet]

What ui you used?

[prime notch]

cara, o jogo nem abre depois de colocar os arquivos na pasta do jogo.

@inner creek parabens pelo trabalho que vem fazendo.

[calm dew]

How i get the game cd? I didn’t seen the game on orginl or store EA

[ocean nimbus]

It's not available anywhere, you have to go to your local retro stores and buy used

[calm dew]

So I must buy play disk for cd

[ocean nimbus]

????

A CD is a disc, so yes?

[calm dew]

I mean play disk

[ocean nimbus]

Yes, me too?

The game disc and the CD is the exact same thing

So you'll need one of those to play the game yeah

[half timber]

We have these replaced in u2 already, if you guys would like to use them
Actually, U2 and U1 share a lot of road props which you guys can check in our mod folder 03_meshes/01_props/01_roads...

[stiff inlet]

Did you use comfy with SUPIR-F?

[inner creek]

No, from original repo - https://github.com/Fanghua-Yu/SUPIR

[stiff inlet]

Send requirements please using pip freeze >req.txt

[stiff inlet]

thx

[inner creek]

Just uploaded new version of mod to moddb - https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v005

I enabled reflections in this version, don't know if it is a good idea, because they are still not perfect, and causing some black crush at car surface, still need to figure out why.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_-QPa3rTZY

[primal dome]

Goodnight.
I have a problem with my game.
I applied the mod to both version 0.0.4a and version 0.0.5 in my game and after the first load the game goes black screen.
I would like to know if I have to do any other configuration for the game to work.

Sorry if my lines don't make much sense, English is not my primary language.

[inner creek]

Are you using full game version? Did you set your screen resolution in file "scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini"? Did you follow recomended in-game settings?

[primal dome]

I installed another version of the game and the game opened but it stayed like this.

Yes. I took the image as a reference and left the settings the same before applying the MOD

[inner creek]

Just tried on fresh installation, everything works good. I can send you a link of a game with preinstalled mod, may be there something wrong your game.

[inner creek]

Fixed car windows, now with reflections and without light distortion. Also I fixed npc cars reflections (thanks to Hemry). In the next update all cars will have head/tail/break lights.

[primal dome]

I would be grateful if you could do it.

[charred viper]

@coral hollow correct me if I'm wrong but this is against server rules

[coral hollow]

yes. if that's the full game, that isn't allowed @inner creek

thank you

[inner creek]

ok, sorry

[lyric plaza]

piracy?

[coral hollow]

it was piracy, yes

[lyric plaza]

as far as I know nfsu cannot be purchased from ea games officially anymore. at this point is this still considered as piracy?

[coral hollow]

yes. abandonware is not legally recognized in the US (or most countries afaik), let alone considered legal

[urban lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/nerding-speech-bubble-pepe-nerd-gif-26077806

[inner creek]

Just made head/tail/brake lights with emissive masks and volumetric lights for all cars and every variation.

Also made a lot of PBR textures

and banners

The update will be released within a few days

[ocean nimbus]

You should really fix your contrast, those blacks are so crunched

[inner creek]

perhaps the reason is high Metallic bias, but reflections became shitty when I set it to low value.

[ocean nimbus]

That looks a lot better

[inner creek]

Ok, I'll release upcoming update with one additional mod file, for those who prefer second less reflective variant, while I do not fix it.

[ocean nimbus]

Just fix the settings of your metallic materials? Just turn roughness way lower

Messing up your colour grading isn't making anything more reflective

[inner creek]

screen space reflections disappears when metallic bias is too low

[ocean nimbus]

That has nothing to do with your colour grading

Fix your material settings then

[inner creek]

I already tried everything

[ocean nimbus]

Sure doesn't sound like you did! What are your settings at?

The reflections work great for us in UD2 without messing up our colour grade

[inner creek]

same problem in U2

Share please U2 screenshot with good reflections, because I cant find

[ocean nimbus]

@hidden flower You're the screenshot guy, give us

[hidden flower]

uh

what

[ocean nimbus]

The reflections on our cars in U2

He doesn't believe we have nice looking ones now 😛

[inner creek]

Good reflections

[ocean nimbus]

Nice latex car

[inner creek]

Bad reflections

[ocean nimbus]

But what are you actually changing between these two?

Surely this isn't just you changing the colour grading?

Well of course that changes it, you don't want to edit that

You want to edit the material of the car itself

[inner creek]

I really want to fix it, if you know how, I'll be glad.

[ocean nimbus]

What you're changing right now is a global setting

[hidden flower]

I'm not arguing that reflections in underground 2 don't look bad, but what you're cooking looks really bad

Never cook again

[inner creek]

ok, can you show how it looks in u2

[hidden flower]

[ocean nimbus]

You shouldn't mess with the bias setting

That's a global game-wide setting that you just shouldn't mess with

Edit the car material itself through the toolkit

Just as an explanation, the metallic bias setting is essentially a threshhold for "How non-metallic something can be" before they start fading out reflections and stuff

It's an optimization setting for a lot of raytracing software

So what you're doing with that setting is really just removing reflections, and nothing else

The RTXremix toolkit

[inner creek]

already did it, tried every value for metallic and roughness from 0.0 to 1.0, looks bad, especially in motion, so I'll leave it as is.

[ocean nimbus]

Could you share a screenshot?

[ocean nimbus]

The material for the cars in your remix toolkit doesn't have a metalness value set

So yeah, they'll look worse

For future reference I suggest looking into PBR workflows so you can understand what all the values actually do 🙂 Helps a lot!

[inner creek]

just released new version - https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v01

[inner creek]

2 variants of reflections are available, until I figure out the problem.

[hidden flower]

These are the roughness and metalness values that are used in underground 2

[prisma cliff]

@inner creek , hi, cannot use ur mod from moddb. Ver. 0.1.0
:33:16.808] err: Unsupported image file format, use the RTX-Remix toolkit and ingest the following asset: :\Games\Need for Speed Underground\rtx-remix\mods\nfs\ingested\Textures\6FA2B40C6A51A0E8.dds
[21:33:16.808] err: Texture :\Games\Need for Speed Underground\rtx-remix\mods\nfs\ingested\Textures\6FA2B40C6A51A0E8.dds asset data cannot be found or corrupted.

@inner creek could u, pls, send me this file? i was downloaded archive (3 gb) two times..

@inner creek this is full log.
NFSU ver. is 1.4.0

[hidden flower]

https://wccftech.com/latest-need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix-mod-version-improves-performance-adds-new-pbr-textures-and-more/

Good job @inner creek

[coral hollow]

very nice

[inner creek]

Thank you!

[inner creek]

Tried to download archive, everything works, texture - 6FA2B40C6A51A0E8.dds exist and opens, perhaps it downloaded or unpacked with errors.

[prisma cliff]

hi. the weirdness continues...
Still couldn't run the game, because for some reason there are no .usd files in the archive....
I unpacked the file with winrar, 7zip...I already stop understanding what is happening.

top right top archive window, bottom right bottom game folder window, they are identical. On the left side of the log window it says that there are missing files from the /SubUSDs folder

Let's reconcile

archive weight:
size: 3.03 GB (3,262,730,340 bytes)
on disk: 3.03 GB (3,262,738,432 bytes)

unpacked folder weight:
size: 5.20 GB (5,588,760,630 bytes)
on disk: 5.20 GB (5,592,875,008 bytes)
Contains: Files: 2,216; folders: 89

[hidden flower]

Huh

Don't worry about the secret repplacement objects

[prisma cliff]

But how can I not worry if these files are not enough for me to run the game? 😄

[hidden flower]

What exactly is happening?

[prisma cliff]

what to do?) game won't start

[hidden flower]

Send gamename_log.txt

[prisma cliff]

exactly by this mask "gamename_log".txt there are no files, there are only those attached

Speed.exe - original, 1.4.0 version

[hidden flower]

Do you have a dxvk.conf file in the game folder?

[prisma cliff]

sure

[hidden flower]

Use this

[prisma cliff]

Why are they different? What's the difference between the versions by more than a kilobyte?)

[hidden flower]

It's basically a list of options you can enable or disable

This file is made to ensure compatibility

[prisma cliff]

it won't start, same errors.

[hidden flower]

Strange

hmm

[prisma cliff]

Could you please send me the speed.exe file or the one you run the game from, as well as rtx.conf and the settings file from the /scripts folder?

[hidden flower]

Try running the game without remix, and lowe all graphics settings to the lowest

Then try again

[prisma cliff]

Here's where the settings and profile file is, by the way? I was thinking of going this way.

[hidden flower]

Better to just do it through the game

[prisma cliff]

but game won't start))

[hidden flower]

Just rename d3d9.dll to anything else

[prisma cliff]

The game started after I entered the current monitor resolution in the /scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini file.

what a bunch of crap...

[spare ravine]

game turns black after the loading screen

[ionic cloud]

Correct me if I'm wrong or if it for some reason don't apply here but shouldn't metalness usually be either a value of 0 or 1?

[hidden flower]

Yes,

[shy heron]

Am I going mad, where is the 'rtx(less-car-reflections).conf' file?

I know the install text file mentions if you don't like the reflections, you can disable them by deleting "rtx.conf", I just can't seem to find the other file to rename.

Also, based on my screenshot above, is that what the reflections look like at the moment? Want to make sure I'm on the right tracks here.

[inner creek]

in the root of zip archive

[shy heron]

Weird, thanks for pointing that out! Seems like my mouse didn't select all the files when I wanted to drag and drop 'em outta the folder.

[shy heron]

Just to confirm, the screenshot I shared above, is that how reflections are looking like at the moment? Want to make sure I at least got that right

[inner creek]

yes

[shy heron]

Cool cool, mod's looking great by the way - thanks for the help 👌

Forgive me for asking, but after the intro race, is there a known bug that won't let you select a car?

[inner creek]

I heard it happens in some versions, try to disable mod, buy first car and re-enable the mod.

[shy heron]

Cool cool, will do!

[shy heron]

Just wanted to say @inner creek

Great work with the mod, it was really fun getting to mess around in Underground, and RTX Remix too:

https://www.ign.com/videos/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix-remaster-gameplay-4k-60fps

Also now on YT:
https://youtu.be/dnvYEKMucag

[hidden flower]

Cool

[leaden otter]

the amount of losers in the comments

[shy heron]

Haha, it can be a tough one at times. I have spotted a few people saying it's understandable that it's all a work in progress, and not a full team working on this! But some people forget that.

[hidden flower]

I like to read comments like witnessing a train wreck

[leaden otter]

Most people just want to comment hate for the mere fact that it's RTX related, most of these negative commenters don't even have the hardware to run this, or at least not at any sort of playable level.
Then you just have teh usual bunch who will call any remaster/remake bad

[ocean nimbus]

Keep spreading the good word!

[shy heron]

Whenever I possibly can, I will! @ocean nimbus

Very much looking forward to the Republic Commando release

[ocean nimbus]

Auto is doing good work ❤️ The lad has come a long way from knowing absolutely nothing about 3D art!

[clear cedar]

the perfomance is actually playable (30-50 fps) on NFSU with RTX 3060 And I7-10875H with dlss ultra perfomance

oh also the vram consumption is up to 4gb

[hot beacon]

U can probably squeeze some more fps if u disable Rtxdi and Rester gi in lighting settings and disable v sync

[glad oracle]

any fix regarding the black screen after load on startup ? i tried the game without the mod and it worked

[waxen bobcat]

@inner creek hi, do you plan to help with underground 2? Looks like the guys there are just lost

[minor dome]

i think you should help them with your topaz gigapixel ai upsclaler skills again and they would be back on track

[ocean nimbus]

@waxen bobcatMind expanding on that..?

[ocean nimbus]

We don't use AI

[minor dome]

it was sarcasm

[ocean nimbus]

Right!

[hidden flower]

What the hell happened here

[rancid jewel]

is there a way to disable the mod without deleting everything?

[inner creek]

rename d3d9.dll in game folder for example to 1d3d9.dll

[storm ether]

hi all, does anybody has experienced a crash when you finish a race with this mod?

during race works perfectly fine, but when i end any race it just crashes

[dusty summit]

black screen when launching game i can see cursor moving after UG splash screen I know there must be quick fix for this

i can even see rtx remix overlay

[urban lintel]

lol

thats a fresh cone

[pulsar cliff]

I never got it over the black screen.

[frosty hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/zacxion-zacxiometro-kratos-gif-25432373

Since I was told it couldn't run on handhelds, I was summoned, I already got it loaded, will update on the progress

[frosty hawk]

for some reason widescreen isn't working

[hidden flower]

Wrong game, but okay

[frosty hawk]

I missed the "2" part

[frosty hawk]

Fixed the widescreen issue with protontricks

It was the dinput8

[frosty hawk]

This game hits the Steam Deck CPU hard

[rose rock]

Hello my game is not opening up

Which version of need for speed underground am I suppose to have

[clear cedar]

Should be latest afaik

[rose rock]

Can anyone share what their folder looks like so I can know what I have to do

[hidden flower]

Instructions are pinned

[rose rock]

Which pin I don't see it

[hidden flower]

Ah wait

This is the underground 1 thread

Yeah no clue, sorry

[rose rock]

I just need to know what version I need for the game and to see a persons folder to know If I have all the files right

[rose rock]

Nvm I got it to work had to do some research work with the files it looks amazing

Works great on my 3060 12gb

[thorny sundial]

well yeah it isn't loading it without that, allot of the stuff wrappers don't work without that

[warped tusk]

Hello everyone. Where i can find subusd folder for nfs underground 1

[warped tusk]

Trying to raytrace but not detecting a valid camera i bet this is the problem for blackscreen

[clear cedar]

thats not raytracing properly

[inner creek]

Fixed traffic cars (emissions, roughness, volumetric lights), more PBR textures. Fixed some missing textures. Updated RTX Remix runtime and DLSS. https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v02

[clear cedar]

would be nice if it was compressed in 7z

[inner creek]

Sorry for the delay, was on vacation. Continuing modding, focus will be on high-poly meshes.

[keen moss]

exe is not supported error :/

[inner creek]

Did you try no-cd exe?

[keen moss]

yeah never mind i fixed it , thanks

[leaden cave]

Do we have a general guide on how to run this game, I don't need the mod atm

[viral crow]

triple times reinstall

[leaden cave]

Oh, you reinstalled 3 times?

it's something related to either what version of remix you use or the game install

very finicky to work with

[inner creek]

Sent a link to DM.

[inner creek]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v021

Added windows meshes to facades, almost to every building, they was missed in original game.

[leaden cave]

can there be a possibility to fix the dimly lit cars

its too dark

[inner creek]

No global fix for now, waiting when Nvidia add Clear coating to rtx toolkit. You can adjust some parameters in developers menu (alt+x) to make cars brighter. SDR screenshots also dims the picture.

[leaden cave]

i was trying to address this first by adding a small distant sphere light but it casts some unwanted lighting arounds every, it made the car look less dark but also kind of ruins the effect

[leaden cave]

Clearcoat is very difficult atm, since its multiple and layered materials, an expensive endeavour for path tracing in remix

[boreal nexus]

im having problems with this. when i install as vid instructed im still getting no response from app

black sceen of death ig lol

Tryna run this badly ngl

[minor dome]

is there any post process effect/ filter which can correct the colour grading? right now its too warm compare to the original

[boreal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-hamster-sadhamster-hammy-hampter-popcat-gif-6561088576429774594

[inner creek]

Replied to DM

[inner creek]

HDR sky

[half timber]

fine tuned hdri maps make all the difference and is often overlooked

[inner creek]

Fixed Ray Reconstruction

[leaden cave]

is it less dark now?

[leaden cave]

definitely looks better, less metallic paint or more glossy finish

[inner creek]

yes, with RR autoexposure started working properly without ghosting, so I enabled it

[leaden cave]

how does it look when in gameplay

[inner creek]

Almost good 😀, much better than without RR

[leaden cave]

amazing, would love to see the updated version

[tall bone]

just a logo i did long time ago

[topaz rose]

https://youtu.be/D9h6Df3cu7A?si=l-S37RsQ59NumhFo

Hope it is fine to post this here 🙂

[urban lintel]

nicre

[inner creek]

fixed another 30 y.o. bug 🙂

[tall bone]

just added logos (Original and mine Remix logo)

[tall bone]

by the way, you missed ®

[inner creek]

added to menu

[tall bone]

I should drop flat logo then, it ain't look good like that, do you still have original logo texture so i could had just a little reference?

[tall bone]

funny, the thing you've sent looks different than what it looks in game

[tall bone]

Well, here is two res images done aligning to your dropped logo, one in og res (64), one in more high res (256)

[rose rock]

@inner creek how did you fix the color issue and made it look so beautiful

[rose rock]

Plus it won't open after I installed the updated version just shows the app not responding

[rose rock]

does anyone know how to fix the blackscreen issue

[leaden cave]

Do you have patch 1.4 installed? I had the same problem as you but in the end I had to reinstall the game

That fixed it

[rose rock]

What is patched 1.4? Is it a file? @leaden cave

[leaden cave]

It's a patch file meant to update your game to version 1.4

Though I have a feeling it won't work, hence I'm suggesting you reinstall the game, try this mod on clean files

[rose rock]

I did a clean wipe or the game and downloaded the files for the mod and same thing happen again

Before this new mod the older mod worked

So idk what's going on

Cause my version was already 1.4

[brazen mesa]

il been having a issue but i really dont know what is caussing it

so after the first mission i need to pick a car but the game just stays there, i cant do nothing, im pressing enter and nothing... i can only quiting the game..

[rose rock]

I can't even get the game to open. Your lucky @brazen mesa lol

[brazen mesa]

that was an issue for me as well

but i fixed by re-installing the whole game and open it once after the rtx-mod install

if you install the game and install the rtx mod and then you open it. you would have a black screen and the game won't start

you need to open the game at least once after you extract the rtx files

[rose rock]

@brazen mesa let me get this straight so you just install the game first then open it. then you install the rtx files in that same folder?

[leaden cave]

run the game first without installing the mod on your clean install

Then install and run with the mod

[rose rock]

ok

I wonder how long it takes the first time to open up and if running speed or no cd makes a difference

[inner creek]

New release v0.3 https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v03

[split oak]

Wow I was just last night trying to make this work. And now we got the new version. I still don't know what version of the game is necessary to run it correctly.

[inner creek]

I'm recommending to use last version v1.4

[leaden cave]

And I just downloaded v2.1 moments ago

🫠

[split oak]

I have 1.4 . I've tried with US and EU versions, I have the resolution set in the ini file but I get the title, then a notification of loading enhancements and then a black screen. I bet you are tired of answering the same question, but after reading everything I could online, I still can't make it work 😕

[brazen mesa]

i recently had a freeze ingame so don't know if its my pc or this version, il keep updating this issue

[inner creek]

NvRemixBridge.exe sometimes stops responding, I have found out several reasons why this happens, but not completely.

[coral hollow]

you need to find a solution that isn't sending users entire copies of the game, that's against server rules

[tall bone]

No remix logo?

[inner creek]

added to game menu, thank you for logo, I'll add it to moddb later and to next youtube video.

[cursive frigate]

Hmm found solution to poor performance: Get better CPU.

[stiff egret]

My game looks like this , help please

[inner creek]

Set all settings to High and restart race

Found Nvidia rtx remix bug: RTX HDR cause black crush. Fix - disable it in Global setting (nvidia app)

[stiff egret]

Still

[inner creek]

no, I mean in game, video settings

[stiff egret]

Oh

Sorry I'll see rn

Thanks

[inner creek]

If game feels to bright in SDR mode, try changing SDR slider in windows display settings, or set lower autoexposure min and max values in rtx menu (alt+x)

[leaden cave]

could there be any possibility of an update mod for v0.2.1? like, only those files that were changed could be downloadable?

[stiff egret]

Thx bro now it looks so much better

[rose rock]

I don't even get the rtx menu @inner creek

I did everything too and I don't know what I am missing

[inner creek]

Can you send log file from game folder?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rihGLI91h-8

[split oak]

I just wanted to share that yesterday I got the game running and it looks great. I just have a 3070 but it's already looking so awesome, especially on the bumper camera. Thanks for all the hard work 💫

[edgy robin]

Good morning everyone, I don't know if this chat is right for that. If not, I ask you to do so. Thanks. And although I have a problem, I would like to use the Need For Speed ​​Underground RTX Remix, but the graphics somehow don't look the way they should look.

[inner creek]

Need log. Which mod and game versions do you use?

[edgy robin]

So according to the ingame 1.4.0 MOD version, unfortunately I don't know because I have someone else's MOD. On the ModDB page the latest version didn't work for me, there was always just a black screen when starting.

[brazen mesa]

You always need to run the base game first without modding it, so after you install the base game run it and then install the mod, you need to run the game at least once after installing

[edgy robin]

I reinstalled everything and downloaded it again, I needed a nocd EXE with version 1.4, now it works and without any graphical errors, I think.

[split oak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ZHzJ_bhaI

is that related to the artifacts you see on the cars?

[inner creek]

Yes

[stiff egret]

Can I ask u how to change the res ?

Or make the game run at fullscreen

because I'm using borderless gaming to change it

[inner creek]

To change resolution edit "scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini" file with any text editor. Also you can change screen mode there.

[steady niche]

is there a way to fix slow downs when fps drops below 60?

im using 4090 and 4k display and im not gonna lie dlss performance looks bad

[brazen mesa]

disabling "NEE Cache" may help and "Particle Lights"

[steady niche]

that will fix slowdowns? or reduce quality resulting with more frames?

i dont have problem with performance, i would like to use frame gen and higher quality dlss and frame rate would be on spot. but game engine is like chained with frame rate in result anything below 60fps will be in slow motion

if that could be somehow resolved that game + mod would be better than cyberpunk with pathtracing for me

[noble roost]

how to install this mod ?

[noble roost]

My game crashes on the first race, any solution?

[burnt island]

Try to complete the first race in the original game

[lime hatch]

what in the world!

[tall bone]

Yep, its that good

[inner creek]

Several meshes were replaced

[hidden flower]

As someone with functional eyes, I can confirm the fact that these meshes are indeed several in quantity and I trust that they have been replaced.

[leaden cave]

These prefabs are good

[inner creek]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v031

[tall bone]

congrats with new version release

[tall bone]

You know, it would be funny if i would do a trailer for this Remixation

Maybe even with Get Low remix

[stoic raft]

hey 🙂 so i wanted to try that, but if i start(only works with your exe) then i get for short the loading screen, and then only blackscreen with the mouse

[inner creek]

Try to finish first race without mod, set everything to high in game settings and re-enable the mod.

[stoic raft]

i got it. it was the dinput8.dll which broke my exe and your exe didnt work at all. now i have another version uf ug and that works 🙂

[stoic raft]

Neons doesnt work at the moment right?

[inner creek]

Neon afterglow is working, just turn on shadows in game settings

[stoic raft]

i mean underglow on cars

[inner creek]

sorry typo 😀, I mean underglow

[stoic raft]

hm ok so i set al to max in options but if i choose underglow, nothing glows 😄

[inner creek]

even in race?

[stoic raft]

I will try

Is it normal that it crashes often?

[inner creek]

rtx bridge bugs

[stoic raft]

All right

Ok in race it looks good i guess

I can only See the Intro and then Freeze 😂

It Freezed second now

At this point

but big props what you did yet! looks really good, sadly i cant continue my game now because i cant finish the first tourament. because of crashes 😄

[inner creek]

I'll try to figure out why it happens.

[stoic raft]

That would be cool, maybe because of fast view change? I also had a freeze while i wanted to Look back

And sometimes it Freeze random by normal driving

[inner creek]

Custom meshes and huge pbr textures can cause fps drops and crashes, but almost all crashes caused by rtx remix bridge app. I also found few bugs related to bigger than 4k textures, and bigger than 2mb meshes, I already replaced such assets.

[stoic raft]

Ah ok

I guess i will wait for a bridge Update then

[inner creek]

Another problem - rtx remix toolkit sometimes saves mod file with errors, so I need a time to fix all this bugs.

[stoic raft]

ok

[inner creek]

send me log file please

[stoic raft]

no pressure 🙂 its allready way more playable then ug2 😄

[stoic raft]

d3d9 log?

[inner creek]

yes

[stoic raft]

if it has relevance too

[inner creek]

Try to set "WindowedMode = 4" parameter in "scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini" file.

[stoic raft]

I already have

[inner creek]

Which game version do you use? it seems like 1.4 US is the most stable.

[stoic raft]

Im using 1.4 us

1.1 didnt work at all

But i dont use ur exe, because with that exe i only get blackscreen with the cursor

[stoic raft]

Hmm

[coral hollow]

dude come on. this is like the 4th time i've had to tell you. rule 5

one more time and you'll have to be kicked

[stoic raft]

If my game freeze, then 90% in loadingscreen or at this place (only that way)

[inner creek]

Thanks for feedback, I'll try to debug.

[inner creek]

I made the website for the project - https://nfs-rtx.com/

[stoic raft]

If i can give a Suggestion, the settings are Looking really good, but for my taste it would be cool, if the Image is a bit Brighter to See the car. Maybe its less realistic, but then you See something of your build

[tall bone]

Dude, that's helluva impressive, looks really amazing, also love how my logo looks on it, especially at most below part

[leaden cave]

yo wtf

[inner creek]

sv_gravity 0

[leaden cave]

i was playing around with free camera and something caused zero gravity, oh wait

maybe it's a extra options mod thing?

[inner creek]

I haven't seen anything like this before

[leaden cave]

that comes with your mod

the music was very trance-esque with that blue floating car lol

[inner creek]

Funny. I'll try to replicate it 😀

[tall bone]

i had to do this

[split oak]

Hi, is there a way that we can help with the development of this mod?

[charred viper]

I don’t really like that the site is named nfs-rtx

It makes it seem like it’s a repository of every NFS RTX mod when it’s just for NFSU

[inner creek]

I'll be glad, I need a lot of 3D models, but not too huge, up to 25k triangles/vertices. PBR textures.

[leaden cave]

I can make you some models, I have experience to make prefabs

Just tell me what you need in a list and I can design them

[half timber]

The U2 project has always had its assets open for anyone who'd like to use them as well. Though we don't have a list of what we remastered already
https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/tree/main/rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets

[stoic raft]

in disabled enahnced meshes and now i could finish the race first time

[stoic raft]

So i enabled Enhanced meshes again and disabled direct Light and made the complete Image a bit brighter. Now it is a lot less noisy and runs way mire stable

[inner creek]

it also disables volumetric lights

[stoic raft]

I think so. So somewhere you can disable direct Light and indirect Light

[leaden cave]

Why do the reflections look off? As if it is screen space reflection

[stoic raft]

dont know

[tall bone]

quite good shot

[stoic raft]

At this point i got 3 crashes with 3 tries

Direct lighting off

Ok i disabled enhanced meshes-> crash fixed, so i returned back to this place, enabled enhanced meshes again and then crash again

This makes the crash

[inner creek]

Seems like one mesh is too heavy, I guess I know which one.

[stoic raft]

that was the only one i saw i that scene

but is that lamp not in every part of the map?

[inner creek]

I dont know may be it is remix bridge bugs, early I planned to make this mesh little bit lighter (<=1mb).

[stoic raft]

ok so how can i disable only that model? then i will try if it fix the crash

[inner creek]

It is possible to modify and replace an asset without going to rtx remix toolkit (drag n drop). I'll modify mesh and upload it for testing.

[stoic raft]

ok

[leaden cave]

you have to manually add the references to that mesh in your mod.usda, or atleast rename the existing one to match the new one you've modified

make sure the pivot point is set accordingly to the original mesh

[frosty hawk]

Hey, any idea why my game switches from full-screen to windowed when starting up a race? I'm trying to make a performance video on AMD hardware

[inner creek]

Try to change windowed mode in "scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini" file.

[frosty hawk]

Ok, maybe I'm a bit dumb
Don't know how I didn't see that 😅

Thanks

@inner creek what level would you recommend showing off?

[inner creek]

4 (Borderless Fullscreen)

[frosty hawk]

No, I meant like which race level

[inner creek]

High

[frosty hawk]

This thing (I'm so bad at explaining)

[inner creek]

you mean map, olimpic square is the most heavy in term of performance

[frosty hawk]

Got it, thanks 👍

[leaden cave]

I noticed this too, in early stages this area affects my FPS a lot

On a 4090 that is, drops to mid 30s to 40s

I even checked it with anti culling off for both mesh and lights

Maybe CPU is struggling

[frosty hawk]

My CPU usage is pretty low so I'm definitely 100% GPU bound because even VRAM usage is pretty low

[steady niche]

do you have slow motion when fps drops?

[leaden cave]

No, slow motion does not occur

[brazen mesa]

the engine does that itself, you need to run the game at 50 fps at least

[leaden cave]

I'm having constant 60fps without much dlss help, but that area specifically just drops below 60, somewhere around 40ish fps

Maybe I haven't got the update mod files. I'll check again sometime and report back

[inner creek]

I found a way to prevent it - set "FPSLimit = 0" in NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini

[steady niche]

will test that but i dont think thats the case, I think mine is at 0 by default. Will check and let you know

[brazen mesa]

i dont know why it crash always in the same spot... im using nvidia studio drivers 566.36

it freezes and crash

[stoic raft]

Hi, something new about that?

[inner creek]

Try this file (\NFS Underground\rtx-remix\mods\nfs)

[stoic raft]

I will thx 😊

[stoic raft]

didnt fix that crash

[inner creek]

Replace this file, it should fix some crashes (\NFS Underground\.trex)

[stoic raft]

no, it crashes

[patent glade]

Anyone had problems with buying first car? For me, "Enter" is just playing sound - I just can't buy car

[stoic raft]

i had that too, with another version it worked then

[patent glade]

Ok. Thanks

[stoic raft]

your welcome 🙂

[brazen mesa]

NFSU running with DLSS 4 Performance Mode

something that i noticed as well... im not crashing anymore

[stoic raft]

Wait for this race and give feedback pls

[stoic raft]

If it crashes at this point

[steady niche]

Mate, you are a legend! Now i can use frame gen, and with DLSS 4 fuck! Im gonna finish Underground now

[tall bone]

Holy! Haha, that rocks

[coral hollow]

why don't you post in #showcase?

looks great

[inner creek]

Thanks, next time I'll post there too.

Ultra nice

[inner creek]

Preparing new release..

[tall bone]

Getting more and more impressive

Kinda wish bricks could had little POM so they wouldn't be that flat, but that's okay

[inner creek]

I changed normal and roughness

[tall bone]

Huh

[stoic raft]

nice, when?

[inner creek]

within a week

[stoic raft]

Uh nice

[tribal orbit]

guys need the help

how resolve this?

I downloaded it from here (moddb), version 0.3.1, I tried to follow the tutorial in a more recent video I found and it gave me this error

i have rtx 2060 and i7 8700

[brazen mesa]

This particulary remix project is very gpu intense, so maybe your gpu can't handle the load so it crashes

also try to run the game as administrator

[tribal orbit]

It held up well on the rtx remix of nfs underground 2, that's why I found it strange that 1 didn't work

[tribal orbit]

New error in version 0.0.1

[inner creek]

[smoky sleet]

Hi, I've a problem at startup of game with RTX Remix mod

• game icon in visible in taskbar as black vertial bar (at 4 window mode) or as horizontal bar (at 1 window mode)
• original game without mod, was working
• there are some errors in dxvk d3d9 log
  https://pastebin.com/WbJRawR2

[inner creek]

Try different no-cd exe. If you have Eu version than set "WindowedMode = 0" in "\scripts\NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini"

[waxen bobcat]

Cant find install guide anywhere

found the read-me but:

[vestal ivy]

this error

[inner creek]

set all settings to high, go back to menu, and start race again

[inner creek]

What game version do you use? US 1.4? If so, try different executable, this one from EU version. I'll add US version too, in next mode version.

[vestal ivy]

how to check that

your previous version mod worked

this new is showing this error

[stoic raft]

hey 🙂
so i tested the new version and is looks, like it fixed all crashes i had 🙂 i past the alltime crash zone now 7 times and no crash anymore! thank you. great job!

[inner creek]

Without window? If you also have blackscreen, try this: set "WindowedMode = 0" in "\scripts\NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini"

[vestal ivy]

still it's showing error

It's also made a new folder (first one)

[stoic raft]

New crashzone 😅

[vestal ivy]

I moved to external drive

now it's working

weird bug

[inner creek]

everytime?

[stoic raft]

3 out of 3 and after my post here 2 times worked

But then i disabled direct Light

But i guess it has nothing todo with it

[inner creek]

Thanks for feedback. I will find the cause of the error, perhaps there are duplicate entries or other errors in mod.usda file.

[stoic raft]

Your welcome 😊

[waxen bobcat]

Thats cool

https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/kit/docs/rtx_remix/latest/docs/remix-releasenotes.html

[inner creek]

Bug fixed by Nvidia. remix-1.0.0

[stoic raft]

Uh nice i will try it

[waxen bobcat]

How to update remix?

[inner creek]

Unpack in root game folder, accept replacing.

[split oak]

i got this

[native kayak]

same

[stoic raft]

hm win blocks the download because of virus?

[inner creek]

There are 2 executable in archive - "NvRemixLauncher32.exe" and "NvRemixBridge.exe". Which is shown as virus? They are both from Nvidia github repo (https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/releases/tag/remix-1.0.0)

[stoic raft]

I dont know what its problem 😅

so i donwloaded it from github now

i need only the 2 exes to replace?

[inner creek]

No, you need all files from archive.

[stoic raft]

ah ok

lol NvRemixLauncher32.exe is the "virus"

[inner creek]

it is not a virus, it is unsigned executable.
It looks like new remix version is very stable, I don't have crashes anymore.
New release will be soon, including new models and textures not just bugfix and remix update.

Reworked drift track

[dapper edge]

Switched to Palit RTX 5090 now all textures look broken. Can somebody help fix it, please?

[hidden flower]

Get another 5090

[tall bone]

Yeah, he should have 5 of 5090's

[dapper edge]

Adorable. It's a review sample, going back in a week. How about some help now?

[inner creek]

Try this updated rtx config file.

[tall bone]

yeah, sorry, couldn't help but to use moment because of his joke

[dapper edge]

Sadly, it didn't work. No change at all. HL2 RTX works perfectly. I am gonna try other fan RTX Remix mods later to see if they work

[deft canyon]

any fix for that

nevermind i fixed it

Hey guys, do you know anyone who can help to create an ASI plugin?
The goal: disable internal culling system.
I already made my first ASI plugin, it disables car wheels culling, useful for using with Free Camera.
(copy to scripts folder to install)

[waxen bobcat]

You want to disable frustum culling, occlusion culling, LOD popping, or all of them?

[inner creek]

Frustum/occlusion culling, and to render objects behind the car.

[merry valve]

Hi,
Yesterday I decided to return to my beloved game after years, I came across a fantastic RTX mod 🙂 and launched the game. Something amazing.
Unfortunately I ran into a problem (v 0.4.1) - after starting the mode "Undergroud" and driving the first race is followed by the selection of the first car - I can not select anything. I uninstalled the whole NFS and reinstalled, deleted all settings, re-installed the mod and all the time the same thing. I also checked it on another computer and the same problem, making the career (Underground mode) unplayable 😦 I will be grateful if you fix this problem because the mod is REVELATIVE 😄 Alternatively, please confirm if this problem is also occurring with you.

[inner creek]

Hello, it is known bug of asi widescreenfix plugin. Disable rtx remix for a first race, finish race, buy car, reenable rtx.

[merry valve]

I see, thank You for the tip.

[merry valve]

Great time, the family sleeps, you can spend some free time reminiscing about the times of your youth 🙂 I fired up NFS with what a great mod RTX. I'm mainly playing the storyline (Underground mode) and I'm on "Championship" level 1. Unfortunately, the game crashed during a race (stopped responding). I turned on the game but it also crashed elsewhere (during the same race). Does the mod save logs? I would like to help you at least in this way to improve this wonderful mod.

[21:20:57.441] err: DxvkSubmissionQueue: Command submission failed: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

Nvidia latest driver 572.83

[merry valve]

I turned off HDR (as stated in the readme file) and deleted the Speed.dxvk-cache file and now I have played and completed 5 races in the career without any problems.

[tall bone]

edited just a bit (that's it)

[chilly locust]

Hi guys hope you doing great, i have an issue. I used to play an early build of this mod without any issues, however i came back with a fresh install of windows and nfsu while using the latest version of this mod and it does not work properly, first there a slim chance to get past the start screen as it hangs like forever and when i get in by miracle the textures does not display properly ( quite similar to the person with a new 5090 but mine wont show wheels and the parking in the menu) my rig has a 4080 32gb ddr5 ram and a 13600k i5 and the latest drivers.

this one was with enhanced texture disabled

Btw i tried two version of this game from different sources it gave me the same results

[chilly locust]

i tested the previous version of the mod (0.4.0) and it seem to work without any major issue

[inner creek]

can you upload log file?

[chilly locust]

where can i find it ?

[inner creek]

./game_folder/rtx-remix/logs

[pallid pelican]

Hi @inner creek, I sent over a DM, any chance you can check it? Thanks!

[inner creek]

I'll check, thanks.

[chilly locust]

this one ?

[inner creek]

yes, thanks

[inner creek]

I'm switched to 5090, and have the same issue, I'll try to resolve asap.

[chilly locust]

Thank you

i feel like its tied to the latest drivers

i mean the ones since the 50 series release

[inner creek]

I resolved it, just delete dxvk.conf from root folder 🤣

[urban lintel]

very nice

[minor fjord]

can anyone help me ?

[inner creek]

with this mod?

[minor fjord]

yeah

[inner creek]

How can I help you?

[minor fjord]

yoo my game is crashing

idk why im new

i did updated the files

[inner creek]

Can you upload logs from - NFS Underground\rtx-remix\logs? Is there any error messages?

[minor fjord]

yeah there are 3

file

[inner creek]

Something related to display mode, it sets screen to 800x600@0HZ,need to investigate, try to delete dxvk.conf from root folder.

[minor fjord]

like i tried compability mode too

do i need to open a updated exe or the old exe of "speed"

[inner creek]

Do you have US 1.4 version?

Try both

[minor fjord]

ye

wait

[inner creek]

speed2 is nfs underground 2 executable

[minor fjord]

im cooked

yoo

it worked

but

fps is low
i really got rtx 4050 ryzen 7

[minor fjord]

any tweak?

[vestal ivy]

mine is 3070 but still goes below 30

[minor fjord]

how u did that?

[burnt island]

DLSS, Neural Radiance Cache, or you can try reducing the number of light bounces. But RTX Remix is quite demanding on the graphics card

[vestal ivy]

Reduce the bounce light and set dlss ultra performance

Select CNN for ray reconstruction

But still not playable

[coral hollow]

on a 4050, Transformer RR has very minimal performance impact

you'd want to continue using that

https://github.com/Kim2091/rtx-remix-custom-configs

try these out if you want. read the instructions on how to use

[chilly locust]

this fixed my issue too thank you

[brazen mesa]

how's people getting a 5090, gad damn

[swift vale]

$3000 + in my country 😭

ngl tho, the 50 series is not worth it. I am still on my 3080 and it's going great.

[heavy ivy]

??

I have random crashes

[keen moss]

depend what u upgrade from

is the 5070 good enough for rtx remix tho ?? im upgrading from 2080 ti

[urban lintel]

by paying

with money

[trail ingot]

hi
This is me from YouTube. My laptop ASUS ROG 2021 Ryzen9 5900HX+RTX3070+32GB. Lags 25 FPS

[trail ingot]

I did everything. And so I entered the race and 20 fps is not possible to play

[burnt island]

path tracing

[trail ingot]

Didn't understand. Explain and help what you need to dо

[burnt island]

Only DLSS can significantly increase FPS

[burnt island]

Reducing the number of light bounces can increase performance a bit. And Ray Reconstruction can be switched to CNN mode, but I don't think it's worth it. Transformer makes the picture much clearer

[trail ingot]

And where can you reduce the amount of light display?

[burnt island]

Min light bounces/ max light bounces

[trail ingot]

Why, after the first race in my career, can I not choose the first car? She just doesn't get out

[burnt island]

You need to complete the first race on the original game

[trail ingot]

And what to do if I have already installed a mod in the game?

[burnt island]

Hmm. You can look for a save where the race has already been completed.

[burnt island]

RTX Remix adds path tracing to games. This is an advanced version of ray tracing. It is very demanding on the GPU

[trail ingot]

Bad project. Why do this is not clear.

[inner creek]

do better..

[modern fern]

Hi guys, do you know how to enable DLSS in this Underground Remix mod?

[deep fern]

Press Alt + X in-game to enter the Remix graphics settings window, and there should be a menu to enable DLSS that looks like this.

[modern fern]

Much thanks!
Besides I have problem to launch this game in lower resolution that 4K.
I changed dimensions in widescreenfix.ini to 1440p but it doesn't launch

[potent ice]

can the ghosting be somehow improved?

i feel like rtx remix wasn't designed to accomodate the speeds of ug1 xd

[deep fern]

I'm not sure if I can assist with widescreenfix.ini, I don't think I've messed around with the widescreen fix mod with this game + Remix mod. However, I wish you the best of luck finding a solution! :3

[potent ice]

can you show me your widescreenfix.ini?

if all else fails, just set both ResX and ResY to 0, then the game will launch at your desktop resolution

or atleast, it should

[stoic jungle]

Game hangs on “press enter to start” then crashes. I’ve installed, uninstalled, updated drivers, rolled back drivers. Changed widescreen ini settings. Nothing seems to work.

Anyone else encountering this issue on a fresh install?

Windows 11
Nvidia Driver: 570.40
RTX 3080

[burnt island]

Did you change the graphics settings?

[sudden minnow]

everything maxxed out, as in the description

using NFSU_RTX_v0.4.1.2.zip

[inner creek]

version - us 1.4?

[sudden minnow]

I might be using EU version, let me try US and see if that changes anything

[sudden minnow]

nope, using US 1.4, even with the provided EXE

[inner creek]

Very strange behaviour, can't simulate it. Did you try older versions? I changed DXVK.conf in last version, try old one.

[sudden minnow]

will try later today

[inner creek]

[verbal elk]

I encountered the same bug, with this config everything seems to be ok, thanks

[tall bone]

YAAY BABY!! MY LOGOS ARE THERE!

[verbal elk]

Okay, it looks like this is some kind of floating bug and dxvk.conf has nothing to do with it. It's just that from launch to launch sometimes there is asphalt, sometimes not

[heavy ivy]

niceee

Congratulations

[burnt island]

Played again, but with DLSS 4. The mod has become noticeably better. I had some drift footage on an older version and it's noticeable that the textures are better now. Also culling of light is now unnoticeable.
There were issues with shadows enabled in the game settings. It's gotten better without them.
I don't understand why to change Frontend and Global files. I had to roll back some of the files to get Russian fonts back

[tall bone]

Well, i dunno what exactly of those two files have game logo in menu, but one of them surely was changed to replace usual Underground logo to Underground Remix logo, because as much as it would've been fun to replace UI elements same way as other elements in Remix through Enhancement Assets, its not possible as far as i know, so those changes happens manually

[sudden minnow]

That dxvk.conf file fixed it! Thank you, for both the support and the hard work you've put into making this mod!

[nocturne cipher]

hello there what im doing wrong and looks so dark?

[nocturne cipher]

Okey i fix that but what happens when im trying to buy the first car? it didnt let me to buy one

[inner creek]

finish first race in career without mod, it is known bug.

[opal lotus]

Hi guys

The game launches but then closes after 1 or 2 seconds with no error message or anything. Anyone know what might be causing this?

[opal lotus]

d3d9.dll loading failed: 127 solved after reinstall directx then nvidia drivers thru DDU Uninstaller

[opal lotus]

I’ve been getting these crashes randomly while playing with the logs always showing 'Still waiting on the Present semaphore to be released...' I need help to understand what’s going on

[pine ledge]

is anyone else stuck on this screen? i cant purchase the car

the controls are completley busted for me in this game

i cant progress

looks like this is a known issue as well

getting constant crashes as well on a 5090 and 9800x3d

seems like this mod isnt ready yet lol

[inner creek]

Try latest nvidia driver - 590.10, I don't have even a single crash with this driver. Performance also better, 40-60 fps at 4k with dlss quality, 25-40 with full res dlaa

[pine ledge]

i just updated to the latest earlier today using DDU

could it be my undervolt from msi afterburner?

im using dlss balanced at 5160x2160 and 3xx framegen

[inner creek]

this driver is not public, it is technological preview with new shader model, https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/shadermodel6-9-preview-driver

[inner creek]

No, I'm use undervolt too (with overlock)

[pine ledge]

im gonna install that driver rightn ow

thank you 🙏

hopefully it works

[pine ledge]

new driver update seemed to fix the crashes

but same issue when doing underground mode, cant purchase a vehicle

[inner creek]

You should buy first car with disabled mode

[opal lotus]

Nvidia driver 590.10 shader model 6.9 really stopped my game from crashing too

[unique orbit]

https://www.nexusmods.com/needforspeedunderground/mods/2 can you use this HD mod with RTX remix or not?

[unique orbit]

i know it's still wip but are those black lines meant to be there in this version of the mod

[pine ledge]

tried i t again today

same issue

cant buy any car

nvm had to just delete the game and do it fresh

works now 👍

[inland mantle]

Where do you put the config?

Cause im having the same issue

[sudden minnow]

Should be in the same folder as the speed.exe file. If it prompt you to override the file, it should work. If not, you most probably pasted in the wrong directory

[inland mantle]

Oh right i found it

My b

ty 🙏

[inland mantle]

Anyone know how to fix this? As soon as I turn on frame gen it starts like screen tearing alot and stuff

[inland mantle]

Managed to fix it by going windowed borderless I think

But this also happened

[opal lotus]

To make the mod work I had to install nvidia driver 590.10 and always keep the Windows resolution the same as the one set in the scripts/NFSUnderground.WidescreenFix.ini file otherwise I would get bugs similar to the ones you're experiencing

[brazen mesa]

how you fix it?

[brazen mesa]

how can i fix the slowdowns when i got under 60 fps?

is there a way to disable that motion slow thing?

[alpine lintel]

Im still getting crashes on my 9800x3d 5090 rig with the developer driver: [10:57:17.577] err: DxvkSubmissionQueue: Command submission failed: VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST
[10:57:17.586] err: [RTX Neural Radiance Cache] EndFrame call failed. Reason: Unexpected condition occured during processing, see error log for more information.

[alpine lintel]

Tried reinstalling drivers with DDU, so far so good

[nocturne cipher]

you guys have a problem with bodykits?

[nocturne cipher]

after 2-3 races my game get stack also

Speed.exe is not responding

[inner creek]

Warning!
Do not use 590.26 driver, it has a huge fps drop in scenes with a lot of alpha blending like vegetation. (2x fps drop)

[alpine lintel]

Is 590.10 still the recommended version with no crashing and less fps drops?

[inner creek]

yes, 590.10 is best at this moment.

[alpine lintel]

Thank you!

[inner creek]

v0.5

https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-rtx-remix/downloads/nfs-underground-rtx-v05

[inner creek]

590.10 driver (https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-ZJ5xBjsyQH6QoKRaDlyKWDaEZz6x72/view?usp=drive_link)

[inner creek]

🤟

[opal lotus]

Totally deserved!! This mod is awesome! When NVIDIA opens the pool for best RTX mod you’ve got my vote for sure

[vestal ivy]

is it support laptop gpu?

[inner creek]

I don't know, I can't check.

[inner creek]

Forgot to mention that NVIDIA added brightness control to the Remix menu (alt + x) in Remix Runtime v1.1, which already included in the new version of the mod.

[vestal ivy]

i checked, it is not working

is there any performance improvment in this version 590.10?

[inner creek]

Yes, It has opacity micromap improvements, shader execution reordering and other new stuff that improves path tracing performance, now I can play even at DLAA@4k but in some areas the fps drops to 25fps.

[blazing folio]

Why used preset is E instead of J or K?

[inner creek]

Should be K "Transformers", where you found it?

[blazing folio]

CNN forces A preset

driver 590.10

@inner creek override in profile inspector would affect? currently all default, in base profile and nfs

[inner creek]

Yes it should, need to try.

[blazing folio]

now it shows this, idk is this mean that K forced, but usually in other games where i forced K preset it shows that running Preset is K

[open geode]

i cant choose a starter car

it just refuses

everything runs fine tho

[inner creek]

The first race in the game must be completed with the mod disabled and re-enabled after purchasing the first car.

[open geode]

So i need to reinstall then?

Because there isnt a toggle for the mod

[leaden cave]

Is the mod author using any fake rect like to lit the roads?

I have something figured out that will ever so slightly enhance the scene and make it more so that cars appear to show their colours better

[inner creek]

It would be cool to add a moon.

[leaden cave]

Can I talk to you in DM?

[inner creek]

Yes

[leaden cave]

already sent you a message

[opal lotus]

anyone has tested driver 577.00?

[inner creek]

HDR config, for use with RTX HDR.

[civic knoll]

RTX upscales the textures. Why pathtracing?

[wild pasture]

@inner creek may I ask you for Underground remix logo for video thumbnail?

[wild pasture]

appreciate it 🫡

[woeful birch]

Is there anyone here who speaks German and can help me?
i can´t get the game to work 😕

[alpine lintel]

Anyone test the new 580.88 driver yet?

[woeful birch]

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to install the game for the latest version?

[alpine lintel]

580.88 has been really good so far, with no crashes and less slowdowns than 590.10

[dull rose]

Hey guys, i have these particular problem that when i activate rtx remix, the game goes in slow motion, fps says is going around 80 fps with dlss, so i don't know what's going on, i have a legion 7i pro with an rtx 4070, core i9 and 32gb of ram, so i don't think the specs are the problem, please help

[inner creek]

https://nfs-rtx.com/installation/#download

[tired seal]

does anyone know if theres a way to make the mod playable on a radeon? its pretty much unplayable because of how little fps i get

[broken sinew]

how can I make lights and light bounces stable but not this ugly pixelated mess? I found that ray reconstruction causes it and this is not the only one game with this problem

"ugly pixelated mess" maybe more understandable will be to say light looks like water caustics but with pixels

[verbal elk]

Sell radeon, buy nvidia

[civic knoll]

multiplayer mod?

[lament fossil]

Anybody know how to get the neons working??

[civic knoll]

My game won't allow me to pick a car after the first race. The neons worked installed with the opponents card. @lament fossil

[pine ledge]

u gotta get past the first one with the mod uninstalled and then make a save game

and then install the mod again

thats what worked for me

[civic knoll]

! @pine ledge

[pine ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/high-five-topgun-need-for-speed-gif-13303958

hell yeah brother glad it worked

[inner arch]

Hello everyone. I downloaded the game as a hole pack from the Offical website (i guess at least) and deactivated the d3d9 file so i can go through the first race but I still cant buy the first car. Anyone knows why? Here the website i was talking about https://nfs-rtx.com/installation/#download

[inner creek]

I'll reupload the game, seems there is some bug in prepacked version. Try to install mod on freshly installed game.

[stone eagle]

is there any lite version of this mod ?

I mean some version that could be playable with 3060 with 30-35 fps at most

[civic knoll]

try the frame gen. it may not be available with 3.5 dlss but it might help, also might turn off pathtracing. @stone eagle

[civic knoll]

transformer to cnn i mean.

[civic knoll]

For nfsu and nfsu2

[verbal elk]

So what do you get as a result of disabling path tracing in rtx remix?

Something like that?

[civic knoll]

no. just a single issue that has occurred recently. not pathtracing. i meant transformer mode to cnn. its lighter version of the mod and it looks just a little different.

[viscid grove]

Hello friends, may you please share some information on how to fix this issue? nearly all light sources are off included streetlamps

Thanks in advance!

FIX: If someone else has this problems: change INGAME MENU GRAPHICS TO HIGH

[viscid grove]

Hey Friends,

New Issue. After the first 3 or 4 Races my game crashes constantly at 4 Bars of Loading Screen into a new Race. Anyone had this issue before and can recommend a fix?

Thanks a lot!

FIX: If you got this error. Deactivate Language Selection in the Script folder.

[tepid totem]

uhh how can i actually fix the issue with the enter button on first race?

Edit: already figured out. It has something to do with the audio stuff from the mod, just use the vanilla audio, the enter button just doesnt works because Samantha's line can't be played

[pallid fox]

For some reason they're not letting me buy a car in a story mode & Samantha isn't talking when I'm trying to buy a car. is there away that I can fix that?

[pallid fox]

Wait how can you play the vanilla audio over the remix version? Because when I tried to buy my first car after the cutscene, Samantha doesn't talk in a main menu screen. When I try to buy a car, Is acting like the cars are locked. Since Samantha wasn't talking & i couldn't buy a car, I was bein' soft locked.

[tepid totem]

just replace it by the vanilla audio files

btw i found another issue, i can't equip a body kit, for some reason the game crashes

like it instantly crashes when i select the wide body kits option

[pallid fox]

Oh that sucks.. I hope they'll be able to fix that. Is the audio files in the sounds folder?

[tepid totem]

yeah

i'm trying to figure out what could be making the game crash when i try to equip a body kit

[pallid fox]

Ohh okay I'll try to fix that when I can. I'm nearly burnt out from all that installing & extracting i did. I hope you'll be able to figure out how or the dev's can help you. Because I might be asking you to see what do I need to do. 'cause I'm basically drawing a blank over here lol

[pallid fox]

Okay. So apparently, when i place a vanilla sound folder to the remix, there's no music playing. but Samantha talks and i'm able to buy a car. So the game perfectly goes on without any music playing. But when i switch it back to the remixes sound folder, the music plays. But Samantha doesn't talk while the game got me soft locked from buying a car. So I am getting some where. But i'm just more puzzled from why's it doing that.

[tepid totem]

replace SNDSTREAMS with the vanilla folder too

[waxen bobcat]

Any updates on this project?

[boreal birch]

Does anyone get stucked at this moment ?
(NFSU RTX Remix)
I tried 3 times , with and without controller , and I can't pass through this , I can't chose the car and continue , I hear the selection sound but it doesn't go further

Playing with RTX 3070 , and I downloaded the full 7GB package directly

[leaden cave]

You need to play the underground prologue and select the car before using remix mod

Or use a save file, currently I think there's a problem. Or always was whenever you started a new game with this mod

[boreal birch]

Oh ok , I'll try this

Thanks !

[boreal birch]

I tried and it works , thank you !
