[vale gust]

you want reward with no work

you gotta press on those asserts

work your way to the fancy lighting

[noble beacon]

You sneaky wizard

Basement lord

[noble beacon]

Perchance maybe perhaps you might know what is causing this initial assertion error when launching the game?

A sneak peek

[vale gust]

you exhausted David Tokens for today

ask tomorrow

[noble beacon]

i'm starting to think about getting a pro david plan

gimme your paypal

[vale gust]

I think I will accept steam gift codes

[noble beacon]

All the gift stuff is strictly region locked

I can send you steam market items

[vale gust]

well, I will think of something else

[noble beacon]

It's the same thing you could say, you only need to manually list them on the market

Steam Inventory Helper is a great browser extension

[vale gust]

Some guy with RTX 3060 Ti is having the same problem as me

but has more fps

you can clearly tell from the fps it is not me

gonna admit, nice creepypasta mod

[light palm]

"+No base game mod path found. Skipping initilization."

is there a bin/rtx-remix/mods/painkillerrtxremix/ folder containing .usda files, textures etc?

[vale gust]

seems so

[light palm]

are there lights on other levels or is it only cemetery which is dark

[vale gust]

no level has lights

[light palm]

wtf. send me your mod.usda

[light palm]

is this lite edition

[odd thicket]

Finally extracting the painkiller mod

OOF, 30GBS

https://tenor.com/view/anime-sleeping-im-dead-gif-15157935

[vale gust]

I downloaded the 23 GB one

[odd thicket]

I did the full thing

[odd thicket]

oh wait, no I did the same thing

23GBs is it compressed

It's 30GBs extracted

[light palm]

i found the problem

i have uploaded the wrong mod.usda somehow. give me a second

[vale gust]

skill issue

[odd thicket]

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

Imma need the right one before I do this video

[light palm]

actually no i havent uploaded wrong one

please stand by

[odd thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-haikyuu-loading-gif-16931717

Take your time, my thing is still extracting

[vale gust]

if you are at it, fix the loading screen asserts as well

[light palm]

it seems that for some stupid reason, nested layers are not loading. the layers in _lights.usda and _skies.usda are not getting loaded. even though the config seems correct and works on my machine

i will just un-nest the layers and send an updated mod.usda

try this

[odd thicket]

Imagine the default works for me

[vale gust]

new one doesn't work either

[light palm]

so strange. i did a clean install of pkblack from gog and unzipped the mod from the zip into it

works

[vale gust]

the RTX 3060 Ti guy played this for the first time

so for sure he was clean

[light palm]

did u try the mod.usda i uploaded above

[vale gust]

same thing

[light palm]

u cant b srs

did u overwrite the existing mod.usda or

send logs again

[vale gust]

I am going to sleep, I will ask the other guy to run it again

tomorrow

[light palm]

k

sleep well

thx for feedback

[odd thicket]

@light palm Yeah, I can't even get into the game on the latest build

[light palm]

logs?

what happens when you try

[odd thicket]

Nevermind I figured it out, forgot I had to alt tab the error message

[light palm]

ahh good stuff

[odd thicket]

Good news, levels looks how it should

But not a fair comparison since I’m on a different architecture all together

[light palm]

yeah i tested again and couldnt reproduce the issue that david and friends were having

7600 card?

[odd thicket]

Yeah, not on 9070 XT yet

[light palm]

30 fps aint too bad for that, all things considered

[odd thicket]

Well this is TAA-U performance High Settings, I'm going to switch to FSR 3.1 Ultra Performance and then maybe try medium settings with Volumetrics to see if I can push FSR performance

[light palm]

excellente!

[odd thicket]

FSR 3.1 Ultra Performance actually looks pretty decent while maintaining 60fps at medium settings

[light palm]

ooh thats a bit of alright!

cant wait for Video!

[odd thicket]

[odd thicket]

Anything I should mention in it? I've been trying to talk more in my videos

[light palm]

that mod is work in progress 😄

[odd thicket]

will do

[odd thicket]

@light palm Did the recording, found that when things get hectic it can drop to the 40s, but not bad overall, I'd call this a good game for RDNA 3 cards

[light palm]

nice nice nice!

[odd thicket]

And this is considering my RX 7600 is the equivalent of a RTX 3050

[light palm]

not too shabby at all hey

[odd thicket]

@light palm Decided not to talk this video, will put work in progress in the description

[noble beacon]

I couldn't reproduce neither, could it be that crazy string issue?

Maybe it has something to do with system's locale or something

[light palm]

could do yea

[noble beacon]

Did you have Norwegian locale when you posted that issue?

[light palm]

um

not sure

[noble beacon]

Check locale, it's a quick google search how to do so

[light palm]

well my keyboard is nor

time and date is au

language is both

[noble beacon]

It's all kinda different things

[light palm]

browser is en/GB

[noble beacon]

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/132175-see-current-system-locale-windows-10-a.html

[light palm]

that one is English (United Kingdom)

[noble beacon]

Should not be the problem (?)

What was the outcome of that "...noughness" thing btw?

[light palm]

maybe my hdd is erroring? dont know

i still get weird errors all the time that i couldnt load some texture because it is in the wrong format or corrupted

but its different textures every time

[robust hollow]

wonder if your RAM is failing

[light palm]

so i doubt its the textures themselves

https://tenor.com/view/cat-ram-gif-8264327

my ram is based

hes got a cat on his back

[robust hollow]

i have a cat but i'm a failure 😢

[light palm]

i will check the ram though thats a good idea

i dont have any other stability issues or anything

never know though

[light palm]

you need to get a ram

[robust hollow]

testmem5

[light palm]

so you can put your cat on its back

[noble beacon]

Run Anta777 Extreeme profile in testmem5

If it spews errors right away it's probably it

Do you have XMP enabled on an AMD platform by any chance?

[light palm]

yea

[noble beacon]

XMP causes instant errors in testmem5 for me
Ryzen 7 5700X
Crucial Ballistix 2x16 3200CL14

[robust hollow]

CL14 is prob why

XMP itself isn't really an indicator for problems tbh

moreso the speed + timings being too much for the IMC to handle

[noble beacon]

Well XMP is made for intel specifically, AMD has EXPO profiles

Now i run manual 3600CL16 with no errors

[robust hollow]

yeah, but XMP is still usually stable so long as it's a decent kit

and your IMC isn't trash 😛

[light palm]

yeah i set the timings manually to the ram spec

xmp didnt work for me it was setting the wrong too tight subtimings

[noble beacon]

Zen 3 got pretty decent i'd say

For me XMP was just wrong

[noble beacon]

Moreover, i've had errors even on R5 5500

Which i believe has the best memory controller of all Zen 3, funnily enough

[robust hollow]

meanwhile all of my AM4 CPUs were stable with various kits + XMP lol

dunno how it varies so much

this was even with zen+ IMCs running 3200 CL16

[noble beacon]

I didn't have any stability issues though

I never knew until i ran the test

[robust hollow]

biggest problem with RAM instability is that it's hard to see 😦

i had that once before back on a DDR3 system. once a month i'd find a file that was corrupted, didn't realize it was RAM until many months later. wonder how much stuff it messed up lol

[noble beacon]

RAM is hard to comprehend in general. Overlocking it is the deepest basement when it comes to PC hardware

[robust hollow]

yeah... sure is messy

i stay away from messing with RAM as much as possible

have overclocked a few kits quite nicely, but it isn't worth the risk of instability for me

[noble beacon]

https://youtu.be/x1MGUtqaTOU

[light palm]

the startup assertion bug thing should be fixed

try this one (release)
with the latest dxvk (release)
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/runs/13794649643

works for me at least, but of instability on startup but otherwise good

[noble beacon]

What about level start assertions?

[light palm]

i dont get those

use the release build

[noble beacon]

It doesn't matter if you get those or not, cause it's only a message that is shown when using debugoptimised specifically. Something that is triggering this assertion breaks things for some on Release too, because the trigger is still there

Now that David patched the Engine.dll to avoid triggering this i wonder what will Nvidia come up with

Would be useful to know in detail what was causing this in engine.dll @vale gust

[light palm]

yea he would need to tell me how to do that change in ghidra so that i can incorporate it alongside the hud fix and anticulling

[noble beacon]

Did you check if all the assertions are gone on debugoptimised?

You gotta use debugoptimised to debug if the issue is there 😄

New bridge+new Engine.dll should eliminate all assertions

[noble beacon]

Ah I see you still get the "Expression:RemixWndProc == prevWndProc" assertion when launching the game

We need "David pls fix" emoji

[light palm]

have you tried the release build

[noble beacon]

I want the assertion trigger be gone

So that it wouldn't pop up on debugoptimised

Engine.dll fixes the level ones and it's great

[light palm]

you can just patch that out in the source and build if you want

if you want to use debug without assert

but then you have basically got release

so..

[noble beacon]

I want to fix the issue

It's not like this assertion pops up with any game?

[light palm]

have to know what the issue is first >D

not sure many people used the debug build

[noble beacon]

That's why davidos broski might know

He fixed the level ones. The assertions are not there when running debugoptimised now, you see

[light palm]

i could diff the dll and see what i did i guess

not sure that would be possible but

what he did rather

[noble beacon]

Let's just wait until he's online

But you could take a look

Experience

[light palm]

reverse engineer the reverse engineering

[light palm]

esrb gon b mad

[vale gust]

have I been summoned again

[vale gust]

you only asked me to fix the assertions during loading screen

[noble beacon]

I also asked about launch assertion but you said David tokens are gone

M'lord please fix and add cool racing cars

and implement drifting

[vale gust]

that's 3 requests

\

there's still this in the game

[noble beacon]

This is great stuff!

[vale gust]

it is just the upper half

and I know the alpha versions had some code for Motorcycle

[noble beacon]

Now that's what i call lost fuckin alpha

[vale gust]

I suppose Adams will want to look into it

https://archive.org/details/PKRetailDemo

[noble beacon]

And Tarot cardboard game

[vale gust]

he can download it here

[noble beacon]

I thought PK was supposer to be smaller in scale initially?

[vale gust]

no, it was way bigger, then became smaller

[noble beacon]

Where on earth did they want to use a motorcycle

[vale gust]

some alpha levels were also leaked

like Galleon and Underwater Temple

[vale gust]

Unknown

[noble beacon]

Hunt them down

Capture them

Tie em

Learn wtf is PlayerActionMotorcycle

[vale gust]

I don't think I wanna bother with code that is no longer in the final build

[noble beacon]

I mean to find the developers and make them loose their tongue

This is legit hyperborea sacred knowledge

motorcylec

🙏

[vale gust]

you know, the motorcycle is kinda usless, there is no level where you could even use it

[noble beacon]

i want to know why

[vale gust]

https://www.theastronauts.com/2014/08/ten-things-didnt-know-painkiller/

[noble beacon]

Is this the only vehicle mentioned?

[vale gust]

what do you mean

there are a bunch of vehicles in Dead City

[noble beacon]

i mean is there PlayerActionVolkswagen

PlayerActionAircraft

[vale gust]

no, there is PlayerActionQW, which stands for Quake World

it has some double jump code

[noble beacon]

I'm curious how deep are you able to tinker the game

You don't have the source code, yet you've done a lot so far

Disabling culling was a big top 1 priority

[vale gust]

go to 1006abf1 and change JZ to JMP

[noble beacon]

I'll be going to random offsets and changing random stuff until motorcycle appears

and tank

[vale gust]

I fixed the launch assert as well

can somebody test

it seems now that I get 20 fps instead of 12 fps, not sure if it is related

can somebody test it before PseudoPolish downloads it

[noble beacon]

It's 1.5 hours until i'm home😭

You have 1.5 hours to add vape as was requested

[vale gust]

you exhausted david tokens

ask tomorrow

[noble beacon]

I have 2 Engine.dlls now on my Xiaomi

[vale gust]

you sold your data and privacy to the chinese?

[noble beacon]

Yes

[noble beacon]

Hell yeah
@binqadams

#1313627595815911448 message

No more assertions when running debugoptimised

I suppose it should be safer to advertise now

[noble beacon]

Yes! It is working now for my friend!

Setup:
dxvk-remix-69868e2-737-release
bridge-remix-e8b8fd3-126-release
David's newest sooper dooper sigma Engine.dll

For some bizarre reason bridge 127 does not work for me (the usual grey screen), even though the only change it brings is build version

I checked 5 times, 126 works and 127 doesn't bruuuuh

Perhaps should delete some files/do a clean install when this string is changed?

[vale gust]

now I want an explanation why my whole level is dark

[noble beacon]

you have to make sure that Binq Adams has free trial tokens available
But you can do all this stuff fresh hoping it's gonna work

1. Clean install Painkiller

2. Install the mod

3. Download Release of this and extract to Bin
   https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/runs/13794649643

4. Download Release of this and extract to Bin\trex
   https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/13801066715

5. Apply your latest Engine.dll

If it's not working all i can say is

These are new Remix Runtime files

Just out of the oven

[vale gust]

I am looking at these pages and see no download button

@light palm https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1349431605349060690

made the video

[light palm]

Nice work! looks crazy smooth hey, only a few slowdowns here and there

[light palm]

I'm not able to reproduce the issue strangely. PP suggested maybe it has to do with localisation?
It does seem that the lights and skies usdas are not getting loaded.
The clean install is a good suggestion

[odd thicket]

Personally I recommend a RX 7700 XT minimum since it should be the speed of a RTX 3060 and has the same 12GBs of VRAM amount

[light palm]

which version of painkiller are you running, steam, gog etc?

[light palm]

what do you think about a 6600xt?

[vale gust]

the one which is not steam

[odd thicket]

I don't have one for testing but Remix 0.6.0 and above gave a great performance boost to RDNA 2, My prediction would be lowest settings like 1 bounce and FSR 3.1 Ultra Performance for 1080p 30fps, It would need testing though to confirm

[light palm]

im really not sure what the issue is mate, maybe let me know how to get the same PK ur using so that I can test

[odd thicket]

I am working on a RDNA 2 Remix runtime that uses the optimized Pathtraced settings found in the optimization guide

Tho each game is different so might have to be tweaked depedning on the game

[vale gust]

get the one from GOG

I think PseudoPolish already has that version

but for him it works

[light palm]

yeah i have that one, works for me without the black issues? neither of us can reproduce..

need more info to try to reproduce really, how are you installing etc

how are you isntalling mod

[odd thicket]

My CPU was hitting 96 degrees in this game, I'm suprised it's still alive

I really need to upgrade

[vale gust]

I am dragging the contents of the 7zip into where my game is

I start the game

black

[light palm]

that all seems correct

wtf

your friend who has same issue, has same locale as you?

[vale gust]

no

[light palm]

bloody head scratcher this one

clean install of PK right

[vale gust]

you did it intentionally so people buy RTX 4070

[light palm]

damn he is onto us

clean install of PK and latest nv drivers?

[vale gust]

it is clean and the driver is 572.60

[light palm]

try 572.70

i think i might have been having issues with 60

it's probably not the problem but cant hurt

any wacky settings in nv driver or nvprofileinspector?

[vale gust]

I don't think I've touched those

[light palm]

aight yea probably not that either tbh

the issue does seem to point to not loading the lights and skies properly. maybe i could make you a custom mod.usda and just jam all of the lights and skies directly into that

[odd thicket]

[light palm]

im def. interested to see how 9070xt runs it

i would have got one if it worked with toolkit

btw vulpy you can run benchmarks in PK with console commands "benchmark c5l1" and "benchmark c5l2"

[vale gust]

I get the gist already, but I am not buying expensive cards, so please make it work for 2060

[odd thicket]

Sure give me a few

[light palm]

it does work for 2060, i have one
it just doesnt work for you for some reason

[vale gust]

so now it is discrimination

[light palm]

definitely

extreme prejudice

[odd thicket]

My prediction: lots of frame drops till it's optimized

If AMD and Intel end up taking my deal, I'll make sure to share code if I can to the main Remix branch

[light palm]

wheelin' and dealin

[odd thicket]

Gotta make sure Portal 2 RTX is optimized

[light palm]

oh hell yea

[light palm]

when you shoot the guns are there any lights?
if you smash a pot and make the coins come out are there lights on those?

[vale gust]

yeah

[light palm]

i think i already asked this, cant remember but are there lights on other levels

[vale gust]

no

[light palm]

~~- try rename the rtx.conf as a test and then see if it works

• try updated drivers
  let me know~~

heres a modified version which only does lights on C5L1, nothing more, for testing:

put those two files (back up mod.usda if you want)
and run the C5L1 or benchmark C5L1

it's also possible that you aren't using the right level file? because if you aren't using the custom levels i made, then they don't have the skybox mesh which all of the lights are tied to, and you won't get the emissive sky

maybe make sure you dont have a maps folder extracted in your painkiller data dir

if you would like to get it to work on customised versions of existing levels without the special skyboxes i made incorporated into them, you either need to put the skybox in and tie the lights to it,
or tie the lights to a different mesh, which should be fine actually after the anticulling patch.
for example on cemetery,
go into C1L4_Cemetery_CustomLights.usda and change line 10:
from:
over "mesh_9F75B99A5C5A2EAE"
to:
over "mesh_DDE0741DF8A183CB"

that ties the lights to the ground instead of the custom skysphere

(as long as the ground is not modified in the custom map, then the hash would be different. this hash is from the default cemetery ground)

[light palm]

or, reverse engineer the light creation code in painkiller to create lights which are automatically picked up by the remix runtime 😄
At the moment the remix runtime does not pick up the lights created by painengine for some reason. it does in other games

[light palm]

Game's literally called black edition, what did you expect

Issue closed Not a bug works as intended

Could there be a possibility that you don't have rights?

I could deduce from how you care about privacy that your windows user may not have some rights (?)

Could there be some savvy david software for debugging/modding the game that is running in the background that affects it?

Or rather that might affect Remix somehow

Do you have another OS to test the mod on?

[vale gust]

Are you refering to malware, I do not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCyNp8aPcsY

[vale gust]

I got it to work, but I don't know why it works

maybe you have to set Ultra before starting the level for the first time

[noble beacon]

Now you can use this emoji with honor

(please don't send it whenever we ask you whatever question)

[vale gust]

I guess today is the asserts for when you press F12

I will use a David token for that

@light palm it is hard to debug the game if it stays on top all the time when windowed, fix this issue

I can get 30 fps on RTX 2060 if I set DLSS to Ultra Performance

I think we will need a Hyper Performance

[noble beacon]

You could use DLSSTweaks and set custom upscaling ratio

So that internal resolution would be 16:9

i mean, pixels

[noble beacon]

I think we have a better use for this token of yours

Why does it take a billion years to load Babel

[vale gust]

[noble beacon]

I'm not home yet, but it's like a normal loading, only that lasts 1.5 minutes for me

[noble beacon]

Also you will most probably gain more FPS setting CNN model in Alt+X DLSS settings

Transformer is heavy on Turing's old gen Tensor cores

Actually there is quite a lot of stuff to tweak

I can get you a potato rtx.conf
I doubt you'll notice any difference at that resolution

[robust hollow]

only for RR specifically

for normal DLSS the perf hit is minimal

[noble beacon]

@odd thicket Hey, may I take a look at your rtx.conf you used in your Painkiller video?

[vale gust]

Leningrad looks lame

next update I want Leningrad makeover

[noble beacon]

DLC is only partially tuned

First 2 levels, Lab and Dead City

[vale gust]

since I am V.I.P, I request Leningrad

Next after the next I think

THE next is about to release

a video

[vale gust]

I can say I don't see any bugs that need fixing

so that's it for today then

[vale gust]

I'll go play Minecraft

[noble beacon]

No there's that one token that needs to be used

no mihecraft

[vale gust]

I fixed the long loading time in Babel, can I play Minecraft now

BABEL SLOW LOAD FIX FROM PSEUDOPOLISH🤣 🤣

You're welcome

[light palm]

Thank you 🙂

[vale gust]

where was this picture taken

[vale gust]

🗿

[light palm]

it's from the last link in the list of links

[noble beacon]

Watch and learn

[vale gust]

next time I should write a Readme with my name in the fixes

[noble beacon]

Rename every button in the game to XDavidXtreme

[light palm]

ahh was that slow loading fix from you David?

I R CONFUSE

[vale gust]

It was, but PseudoPolish stole it

[light palm]

oh shit lol

[noble beacon]

I hacked XDavidXtreme

[light palm]

let me fix

This is great, the game seems to start nicely now

[noble beacon]

Edit the Remix startup message "Kudos to XDavidXtreme for making this shite work"

[light palm]

i havent had any crashes

and when i was testing, clean install of PK and 0.1.5 mod install, started first time

[noble beacon]

What does "Souls now drop immediately when you kill enemies" mean?

You're saying i can't farm 9999999 gold from a single zombie?

[vale gust]

did you fix Swamp

[light palm]

wait what, and now alt-x is just straight up working without having to go to menu or use pcflymode

[light palm]

you still can, i only changed when the soul is dropped. The body despawn logic is untouched

[light palm]

Not yet

[light palm]

oh but after an alt-tab it stopped working

[noble beacon]

Smooth Catacombs walls are interesting, I've seen you working on this. So, it's only a matter of exporting a mesh to Blender, using it's tools to smooth it and ingesting it back?

How does collision work?

[light palm]

yeah exactly. collision isnt affected, its only visual

can't do it for too much, or the models alone would be a few gigabytes, and take over a minute longer to load

[noble beacon]

Do

[light palm]

i'm probably going to make an github issue about it

[light palm]

you don't even have to explicitly do any smoothing, usually it autosmooths it pretty well on import, so you just import and export

[noble beacon]

Maybe that's why it's size is 99GB
This smoothing algorithm must be configured somehow?

[light palm]

smoothing algo basically remimplemented in thy python script i posted a while back lol

i have every mesh in the game resmoothed as a usda

it seems that internally when remix is re-creating the geometry for rendering it drops the mesh normals info (or something)

but i could have sworn some meshes did appear smoothed

so i don't really know what is going on

[noble beacon]

GitHub issue time

These pointy edges is quite a consistent feedback

[light palm]

yeah a lot of mentions of this

alright i will make

[light palm]

give it a thmbs up for visiblity:
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/753

[vale gust]

Are you sure it is not a problem with Blender's exporter

[noble beacon]

The meshes are smooth in the original game. They only appear that way when you inject Remix runtime

[vale gust]

and if you import again after exporting, are they still smooth

[noble beacon]

Yes if you ingest them as replacement meshes

So basically you replace the meshes with exactly the same ones

But it only looks right when it's a replacement mesh

Remix runtime bug

[vale gust]

and what's with these light blocking windows in Prison

[light palm]

you can convert the captured usd meshes to usda so they are readable and i believe the mesh normals are not smoothed or dont exist

cant quite remember

[light palm]

wdym

[vale gust]

are these black stained windows from Minecraft

[noble beacon]

Wait what

[light palm]

looks fine to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ5wtXZsUgs

[noble beacon]

It should've been fixed

[light palm]

sometimes remix fails to load a texture and then the thing is black

[noble beacon]

sometimes remix fails period

[vale gust]

no light coming inside

[light palm]

ahh yea

its a quality setting

direct translucent shadows

or you can just smash em

[light palm]

do you want me to make you a 320x240 resolution hud fix file?

[noble beacon]

I think he's capable enough to do so

16x9

[light palm]

HYPE

[noble beacon]

Can't wait to download another 30GB Painkiller game

Who would've thought

[noble beacon]

Hey, every man would have his own skyscraper if you updated this list every patch

Actually would love to see some excel spreadsheet or something of the sorts

[light palm]

trello or similar

ill make one later

[vale gust]

I think you are playing pranks here

[light palm]

i wish

[noble beacon]

Society if there was no struggle to upload something on ModDB

[vale gust]

@light palm so I imagine I will see the Leningrad tomorrow

[noble beacon]

-999 david tokens

[vale gust]

seems like Binq Adams died

probably ate at Taco Bell

[noble beacon]

Good to know i can go to sleep then

gnight

[dusk jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/steven-segal-carrot-healthy-food-gif-14637111

[light palm]

upload failed again. 3rd times the charm maybe

[noble beacon]

Perhaps ModDB just can't handle the size

What if you split this in two?

[vale gust]

what if we remove some textures

[noble beacon]

What if we remove leningrad

What if we scrap this project and close this thread

[vale gust]

what if I remove myself from thread

[noble beacon]

What if we nuke the Discord servers

[stuck tree]

hellooooo

@noble beacon 🙂

we spoke with each other about my poor perofrmance

can you pls send me the new Engine.dll ?

[noble beacon]

Hey, put this in Bin
Startup and level load assertions should be gone

Not sure about the performance though, we might try updating the Remix Runtime
Try the Engine.dll first

[stuck tree]

this is great.. there are no crashes during start-up anymore

it messed up the aspect ratio or something.. but this is how it runs.. I'm uploading screenshots

eh these are HDR screenshots

wait a bit

[noble beacon]

Ah yeah the Hud is configured in Engine.dll. This one is made for 1920x1080

[stuck tree]

ah ok

how can I change that?

I will play at 40 fps it's ok with motion blur

I love that you included motion blur and other post-processing

[noble beacon]

I could make one for you real quick

What is your resolution?

[stuck tree]

3840x2160

[noble beacon]

@vale gust Hey, could you remind me what must be changed in Engine.dll to fix the res?

Discord search sucks

[stuck tree]

thanks for your time

[vale gust]

in SetRes

that 0x780 and 0x438

change them so it matches 4k

[stuck tree]

if I can be any helpful let me know if you need some logs or anything so that you can squash outstanding bugs 🙂

[noble beacon]

Thank you! excuse me for skill issue

[vale gust]

same thing in Init

and here

[vale gust]

can you donate the RTX 4090

[noble beacon]

Genialne

[stuck tree]

😄 🙂

it runs at 40 fps so why not

[vale gust]

I think you need to include the LScripts fix for 4k

@noble beacon give the man that fix as well

[noble beacon]

Should be fine

[stuck tree]

thank you, you are awsome 🥹

[vale gust]

I think the 0.1.5 is the friends we made along the way

[stuck tree]

hmm it doesn't run

[noble beacon]

A moment

[stuck tree]

should I replace something else also?

[vale gust]

@noble beacon skill issue

[stuck tree]

description: I run Painkiller.exe (I have it set to run as Administrator), on UAC prompt I click Yes and then nothing happens

[noble beacon]

You're goddamn right

I'll try again

[vale gust]

tip: run the game yourself before sending it over

[noble beacon]

I tricked you all i've actually been uploading the update

[stuck tree]

so I should I download the whole update ? 🙂

[vale gust]

I like how it is perfectly synchronized with my message

[vale gust]

yeah, it contains more fixes in it

[noble beacon]

Actually yeah there are quite a lot of fixes

[stuck tree]

ok!

I don't see it yet

[noble beacon]

Another trick

[vale gust]

scroll down

[stuck tree]

ah

:D:D:D

Lesgoo

8MB/s 😭 😭 😭 😭

I'm gonna play Doom Eternal in meantime xD

having 1Gbps fiber is pointless I guess

[noble beacon]

Hey could you tell what is wrong? The values are 0xF00, 0x870

Supermega skill shortage

[vale gust]

I can't check now, I have some work to do

[noble beacon]

MUCH better now, good work @light palm !!!
014 vs 015

014 vs 015

[stuck tree]

So it works!

frame gen works too

but

[noble beacon]

But it duplicates frames

Yeah

[stuck tree]

40-ish fps is I guess normal

since I get almost 100% utilization

on Ultra I think this is meant for something like 5090?

[noble beacon]

Well no, it runs 60+ consistently for me on Ultra preset DLSS Balanced
I'm on 1080p though

Try Ultra Performance DLSS

[stuck tree]

this is DLSS balanced with FG

frame pacing looks like this

camera panning looks smooth to me tho

[noble beacon]

RTSS cannot properly capture generated frames

[stuck tree]

got it

[noble beacon]

Hmmm

Actually Frame gen seems to be working indeed

[stuck tree]

this is ultraperformance

I'm scratching my head here 😄

something is not working well..

maybe it's on my end

I'll stick to Performance and keep playing

😛

it looks so good omg

[noble beacon]

Does this happen on all levels?

[stuck tree]

maybe it's because you haven't tested/optimized for 4K?

[stuck tree]

I don't know

this is first level

I will let you know 🙂

[noble beacon]

I wonder what kind of framerate you'll get if you type "benchmark C5L2" in console

Better turn the frame gen off first

[stuck tree]

not good

[noble beacon]

Lower than usual?

[stuck tree]

yeah

brutal

when things explode I dip below 30

this is DLSS perf.

[noble beacon]

[stuck tree]

at least the menu runs at 900fps

[noble beacon]

Display driver version? There's this NRC tech that is pretty new, might not be working on older drivers

[stuck tree]

it's the latest

I had the same issue in Indiana Jones when Vsync was disabled

once I enabled it it was ok

but here it doesn't matter

[noble beacon]

Is this laptop or desktop?

[stuck tree]

desktop

I hope I'm not bothering you with this....I appreaciate your help but I understand you don't want to waste time troubleshooting a one-off

so at least I'm reporting a bug

[noble beacon]

Not at all mate I don't leave my basement

[stuck tree]

likewise 😭 🤣

you're polish so at least we're neighbors

i'm from south

sorry for my government tho

pieces of sh...

such an embarassment to the world

😕

[noble beacon]

No more pointy wall in Catacombs
014 vs 015

[noble beacon]

Mine is worse, because I'm not Polish

[stuck tree]

looks great

[noble beacon]

I'm from Belarus

[stuck tree]

POMs?

[stuck tree]

aaah ok!

I was NOT expecting such upgrade to materials

at first I thought this was only about lighting

but you also upgraded materials, textures, everything basically

[noble beacon]

Yeah, PBR materials are amazing. I'm in love with rocks in Cemetery

[stuck tree]

exactly me too 😂

[noble beacon]

@light palm
I think THAT much of fog is unnecessary 😄
It also makes daylight open levels like Docks kinda washed out

This material was replaced by me, but it appears legacy

All other materials in Leningrad look fine

[noble beacon]

Just so you know, there's an annoying bug that causes Vsync to turn itself on every launch

might be good to know

[stuck tree]

thanks

[noble beacon]

who is this

KATASTROF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to tell you these guys have no emission mask

Emergency mod
Give me a sec

@vale gust i hope you survived this

You sure this is the right skydome for Enclave?

[noble beacon]

Life is good

[vale gust]

It is not

[noble beacon]

@light palm
Do you think it's time to update this entry to Playable? Seems pretty damn playable to me!
It's almost like THE way to play the game now.

[vale gust]

30 fps doesn't seem like THE way

[noble beacon]

Well it has always been the way but for the 2010's

Due to the weak console generation

[vale gust]

I don't think you can even get all secrets with that framerate

[noble beacon]

[noble beacon]

Give it time, my 4070 is enough for 60FPS
Low end GPUs will outpace this card in no time

And we'll see the way

[noble beacon]

https://youtu.be/_r2ozeKBG20?si=RerjXSRV6kQZgG9o

[stuck tree]

this is simply stunning

no need to go outside anymore

[noble beacon]

Yeah literally
That's why I adore Pathtracing

Almost everything you see around you IRL is Indirect lighting

So if you don't feel like going outside you better have darn good Indirect lighting in your conputer

[light palm]

Yes for sure!

[light palm]

Whoops

[light palm]

I think we can modify the level .lua files to change the fog per level, as remix interprets the dx9 fog

[vale gust]

@light palm do you think life is good?

[light palm]

Life doesn't make value judgements 😛

[noble beacon]

He's back
the Man himself

Did i ever tell you i love this tech and mod

[light palm]

the important ones are the hudfix. the others seem to effect the initial gamelaunch resolution
the 3000 one i didn't pay a lot of attention to but i set it higher for 4k res
i mean to investigate more at some point

press G in ghidra and type in the addresses to get there

[light palm]

its pretty dang cool hey 🙂

[light palm]

thats strange, any texture load errors in the log?

[noble beacon]

Won't be able to check for about 13 hours

[light palm]

no worries 😛

[noble beacon]

We're on the crossroads as it's 1:48AM

[noble beacon]

Is this a script that spawns a mesh somewhere in the area of your pizzle with an anchored light to it?

[light palm]

yep

\Data\LScripts\Templates\Lights\Gameplay

[noble beacon]

I tried to Claude exactly this a while ago but skill issued

[light palm]

yeah i tried claude, didnt work

just had to do it the old fashioned way

[noble beacon]

offtop

@light palm Do you experience similar issue?

[light palm]

hmm i don't think so

[noble beacon]

Weird

Everything is washed out until you alt tab

[vale gust]

You want the sex update with that?

[noble beacon]

That and an unbelievable RTX Skin on his wings

[light palm]

Well, I finally got it working. Now to tweak it and make the proper maps.

[noble beacon]

Nice! Would be wonderful to see the final result

[indigo oar]

great stuff as always

There's no GDC 2025 slide deck even on GDC's website yet

I expect it to appear after 21th

[vale gust]

I like how we talk trash about NVidia in their servers

[odd thicket]

iirc this technically isn’t their server

[light palm]

I'm referring to the specific part of the video linked at t=1144

BTW I think it's a good practice to always note that the given link is time stamped
It just may not work on some devices/systems/browsers for no apparent reason

Broken Remastered Ass

[noble beacon]

Hey, you actually implemented the OG flashlight behaviour with sound and light sync and all

If I had done it i'd just make it on/off. Nice

[noble beacon]

@light palm Is PBRify's ComfyUI version working for you?

1.0.0 Toolkit seems to be breaking it

[vale gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGkJUhm9nc0

[robust hollow]

currently it is broken unfortunately. Pete is working on it 🙂

[light palm]

OMFG that's awesome!

[vale gust]

It's a Doom 2016 clone

[light palm]

Doom 2016 is painkiller clone 😉

[vale gust]

by this logic, Painkiller is a Quake clone

and Quake is a Doom clone

[light palm]

🤔

[dusk jasper]

im not entirely happy with what i see
Is it bloody? Yes
Is it dynamic? Yes
Is it Painkiller? DOUBT

[vale gust]

I am recognizing more Doom monsters in it than I do Painkiller monsters

and levels are just Doom, no question

[dusk jasper]

yes, its just a threesome of modern Doom, modern Shadow Warrior and modern Boomer Shooters, but its not Painkiller

[odd thicket]

Guess I don’t need to play the RTX one now /jk

[noble beacon]

Nooo way...🕯️
The main artistic point of original Painkiller were the liminal spaces that people habited in the real world, appearing soulless in Purgatory. I see no familiar environments in this trailer, it's all like Doom Eternal random floating ruins

I would've never guessed it's a Painkiller game if not for the Electrodriver

and flamethrower

[vale gust]

@noble beacon nobody liked this, it is not Painkiller, and it obviously was not made for the PK community

[noble beacon]

This franchise is cursed

It feels like nobody knows how to make Painkiller but the original PCF team

Impossible game
Dream game

[tulip moth]

Hi guys, I'm facing this issue, and I don't know why. It happens when I'm entering to the first level.

[light palm]

hey did you install on a clean install of painkiller?

the mod does not make any changes to painkiller.lua....

[tulip moth]

Hi, yes. I had to. Previously I used a HUD fix for my resolution 1920x1200, I though that it was the reason, but I performed a fresh install, however I can't fix it

[light palm]

1920x1200 is an unusual resolution

[tulip moth]

I know 16:10

[light palm]

let me make you a hud fix file.

[noble beacon]

Could you record the Ghidra window while you're at it?

[light palm]

for real?

sure

[noble beacon]

For some reason it's not working when I do what David showed me earlier

Making a level load patch works however

[light palm]

try this

[tulip moth]

Thanks!!!!

[light palm]

@noble beacon

[tulip moth]

Game continue failing with thar error. Let me do a fresh install, delete the remaining folders and test it

[light palm]

are you on steam or gog version

[tulip moth]

Steam

[light palm]

did you use the recent release 0.1.5 from moddb?

[tulip moth]

Yes.

[light palm]

should just work, if its a totally clean install of steam PK and no other mods

[tulip moth]

I never used other versions, this is my first time trying these RTX projects

[light palm]

and only 0.1.5 release

[tulip moth]

Correct

[light palm]

the error makes me suspect some other mod interfering

[tulip moth]

Probably, I've used other HUD Fix

[light palm]

i cant think of what else it might be

[noble beacon]

Is this a legal copy? There are some patches in pirated copies

[tulip moth]

yes, Steam version

[light palm]

should be like this

1. clean install PK
2. unzip painkillerRTXRemix 7zip file into painkiller directory, overwriting files
3. copy the engine.dll for your resolution from the hudfix folder to painkiller/bin folder

[noble beacon]

Do we know anyone who tested it on Steam?

[light palm]

i have it on steam and gog

test on both before release

changing resolutions should only be done by editing the config.ini file in painkiller/bin

not via in game menu

[noble beacon]

Works for me though

As far as I could tell

[light palm]

yeah its mostly fine but it messes up sometimes, especially with high resolutions

also, @tulip moth does painkiller work normally on a clean install without any mods and without PainkillerRTXRemix ?

[tulip moth]

Yes, I played a couple of level when I installed the previous HUD fix

[light palm]

strange.. let us know what happens with the clean install.
Make sure you either rename your previous install's painkiller directory, or delete it entirely, otherwise there can be residual files if you are just uninstalling and reinstalling via the steam interface

[tulip moth]

Ok, installed now. Let me test it without installing anything

[light palm]

ie. rename painkiller directory
then go to steam, right click painkiller, go properties,
then this:

it should redownload all the files

if you have really slow internet there is another way to "clean" your install, let me know

[tulip moth]

Before uninstall it, I've tested verifying the files, and didn't work

I ran the game and works fine.

Can I install the RTX mod?

[light palm]

the problem is that if you uninstall the game, all of the mod files remain in the same folder
so when you reinstall, it still isn't a "clean" install

you have to make sure to rename or delete the painkiller directory before reinstalling

[tulip moth]

correct, this time I deleted the remaining folder

[light palm]

there is no uninstaller for PainkillerRTXRemix

yeah go ahead and install rtx mod

[tulip moth]

mmm, 7zip is saying that a parameter is incorrect when I'm decompressing in the installation folder. I thought that file was corrupted, however hash matchs

[noble beacon]

[light palm]

https://tenor.com/view/dafuq-wtf-what-the-fuck-the-fuck-the-fuck-is-this-gif-16936456

whats the error message exactly

[tulip moth]

One second, I'm decompressing in other path (outside installation folder)

Ok, it decompressed succesfully, I will replace the files

Testing now

Finally!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you both! I'm supper happy.

[noble beacon]

Just you wait

Fingers crossed it makes past loading screen xdd

[tulip moth]

Something that I've noticed is that when I installed the fresh copy, the language was spanish and after apply the mod the language is english.
If is there any way to change it, great, if not, I don't care. Looks awesome!

[noble beacon]

I don't really think you should😭

Mod patches some files from Data so that's probably the reason

It might be possible to change the language

Will need testing

[tulip moth]

Don't worry, If you need me for testing, let me know.

[light palm]

try changing the line in config.ini

Cfg.Language = "english"

[tulip moth]

I set spanish however didn't work.

I found this
https://steamcommunity.com/app/39530/discussions/0/3166568651735954191/
where at bottom there is a link with a file that contains the languages files.

I've browsed to the folder where these .txt files should be there, however there are not.

I'm not sure if that means something, if you want we can test later. I need to go to sleep. 5:20 AM here (Argentina time)

[noble beacon]

Nice sleep schedule btw

[light palm]

Nice

Hey @dusk jasper , "Painkiller remixed" is hard to search for on google, if people search for it they just get songs - perhaps Painkiller RTX would be better?

[noble beacon]

Personally i'm kinda struggling with naming identity of this mod
It's just like "yeah this cool fucking thing" in my head 😄

[light palm]

Painkiller RTX is easiest imo

[light palm]

nice he is speaking australian

typical aussie greeting:
'scarnon kunce!

[noble beacon]

I can only decipher the second word

[light palm]

scarnon is kinda short for what's going on

what' sgarnon

[noble beacon]

Nuke australia.

[light palm]

nah that'd just be a normal hot day for us

wouldnt even notice mate

[noble beacon]

Isn't it getting colder for you?

[light palm]

yeah

[noble beacon]

xdd southern hemisphere what a cringe

Are you stuipd

[light palm]

ur the one thats upside down

we are the right way up mate

night sky way better in southern hemisphere imo

[noble beacon]

Now you sit if you're standing

I hate breaking it to you

but

I know

it's gonna be alright

[light palm]

i dont get it

[noble beacon]

You're in denial

[light palm]

of what lol

[light palm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[noble beacon]

[noble beacon]

Actually it totally makes sense

Large frozen piece of land in the north

now i'm in doubt

[noble beacon]

Put this file in \Data\LScripts\Main

For some reason it always defaults to Lang_English.txt despite setting spanish in the cfg
so i just pasted all the spanish text into Lang_English.txt

Seems to be working fine

[dusk jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-jump-out-window-gif-16550951736386322050

[tulip moth]

It worked!!! Thanks!

How to reduce the ghosting? For example in the level 1-1, when I use the "Painkiller (Weapon)" and aim to the sky, I can see the ghosting effect, but I also noticed this when the enemies are in move. Is this expected?

[noble beacon]

Hmmm I think ghosting's been more than acceptable for me. What's your GPU?

[tulip moth]

RTX 3070

[noble beacon]

What's your DLSS preset and model (CNN/Transformer)?

It's in the Alt+X menu

[tulip moth]

let me check

[noble beacon]

CNN is an old model, it should be defaulted to Transformer I think (?)

Set it like this and see if the ghosting is better

[tulip moth]

Yeahh, better!!! You are amazing!

[noble beacon]

Try Performance mode

Also i'm not really knowledgeable on this, but it also should be better to tick Transformer Model D here in the bottom

See how it performs on your 3070

[tulip moth]

ok, checking

Where is the Performance Mode?

[noble beacon]

It's a DLSS preset, same as Balanced you have now

[tulip moth]

Ok, I've selected Performance Mode, and I'm also enabled Transformer Model D in DLSS-RR, and it runs smooth, better than Ultra mode.

In Ultra mode the game runs as the games in Unreal Engine 5 😛

[noble beacon]

What do you mean by Ultra mode?

Don't forget to click Save

Also there's a bug that enables Vsync every launch despite saving the settings and it drives me nuts
so if your input suddenly feels weird after relaunch that's the case

I prefer with the V-Sync enabled, when I ran it in Ultra Mode, the V-sync was disabled and didn't like it. But when I ran it for second time it was enabled, I will keep it enabled in Performance mode.

I found ghosting again

[vale gust]

game is full of ghosts, is to be expected

[noble beacon]

Just checked and it appears that actually disabling Transformer Model D gets rid of ghosting in this specific case

Almost

Probably should tune down volumetrics a bit in the next update, it's really dense and ghosting heavy@light palm

[tulip moth]

Correct, disabling Transformer Model D the ghosting is not present or at least I can't see it

There's also an issue that lists V-Sync as a broken setting but it's from June 2024

[noble beacon]

It also mentions a bunch of other stuff, but the Remix guy answered that these settings are for debug purposes and not intended to be saved

i think they just forgot about vsync??

[tulip moth]

Guys, me again.
Since yesterday the game is crashing when I load a savegame, no error message, nothing, just CTD.

[noble beacon]

Is this a gameworld save (when in gameplay) or level selector one?

Can you load a level via pkalllevels cheat?

[tulip moth]

It'a a automatic savegame in a level, not the start of the level. But now it's failing even starting a new game. 😦

[noble beacon]

Try and delete Painkiller.dxvk-cache in Bin
Also might want to update the Runtime, I'll DM you

[light palm]

sounds like you might be trying to load pre-mod saves or have put in extra mods or something?

[noble beacon]

Nah it's one of those random issues that require random actions to fix it

they can't start a new game

[light palm]

try a fully clean install (ie rename pk folder and re-download)

thats the first thing imo

see if it works without remix

if so then install the remix mod

it could be beans though.

[noble beacon]

Clean install is OP

[noble beacon]

Why don't people fix the world with a clean install

[noble beacon]

motherboards

[light palm]

heheeheh

[light palm]

😉

[noble beacon]

Texturing them bad bois?

[light palm]

thats the plan, nice that you can run remix in the editor

[noble beacon]

It's actually great

Doesn't work in Hammer btw

PainEditor is superior

[light palm]

All Hail!

Mighty PainEd!

[vale gust]

Is the project abandoned?

[robust hollow]

dude it's been 4 days lol

[vale gust]

4 days of silence

[dusk jasper]

when it'll be silent for 2 weeks, then you can press alarm

[mossy plume]
