i can just run
#Metal Gear Rising Revengance
old flicker
well, it is a complete shader -> ffp wrapper
install remix too, but rename it's d3d9.dll to d3d9_remix.dll first
old flicker
can't run it without remix
tulip raptor
I didnt
old flicker
🤔
tulip raptor
i have remix already installed i just swapped the dlls
old flicker
well that's why
tulip raptor
I know that was already the case
which remix version are you on
that was the issue i had last time
can i also see your d3d9_remix dll?
tulip raptor
remix rtx for x86 games?
old flicker
yup
tulip raptor
yeah i still dont get the rtx remix overlay when using the dll you sent me
and then it crashes
nvm
its just an old car i guess
gotta turn it over a few times
Thats a new one
why does this happen
old flicker
😖
old flicker
Thats a new one
try this one. was compiled from different code but we can at least see if it works
topaz saddle
was ble to launch it no problem
tulip raptor
😖
i figured it out im just mildly stupid
and by that i mean my skip intro mod no longer works for whatever reason
old flicker
this too
i originally distributed this as a pack
that's why it's so messed up rn
lofty aurora
Clearly a proper installation guide has to be developed
tulip raptor
other than your d3d9 file being 848 KB
i literally just dowloaded the file off the link
you sent me
o hwait
im stupid
no okay
tulip raptor
it looks like it's also the remix DLL
its like this right, where yours is d3d9 and the original is d3d9_remix?
old flicker
Clearly a proper installation guide has to be developed
yes but i am far too tired
lofty aurora
its like this right, where yours is d3d9 and the original is d3d9_remix?
Are you on gog or steam version?
tulip raptor
steam
tulip raptor
but try this DLL instead https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1423397781414084...
okay with this my game is black but its running
i can hear the audio
old flicker
yay...
you have successfully reproduced the issue that others had only with the GOG copy of the game and never Steam
how and why
😭
old flicker
yeah
old flicker
that black screen means it won't work
if you try it on GOG i wonder if it'll magically work for you
i'm packaging up all of the files in one zip for you to test
including a different steam_api.dll
tulip raptor
that black screen means it won't work
its aight i dont see a black screen anymore
we back to this
topaz saddle
me seeing an nvidia member following a channel im apart of
tulip raptor
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ve-12s3mEop3VQafAQBSGVRsIWZgvlnD/view?usp=shari...
now it's not responding
topaz saddle
give it a second
tulip raptor
give it a second
its using 0% gpu and its not even registered as a directx application
old flicker
gotta relaunch it sometimes
like i mentioned before it's quite buggy and has issues rn
topaz saddle
its using 0% gpu and its not even registered as a directx application
doing this to your gpu
old flicker
if that doesn't work, i truly have no idea and this project is really cursed
tulip raptor
if that doesn't work, i truly have no idea and this project is really cursed
nada
i even reinstalled the whole thing with the indvidual files
cleared out the directory, recopied over all the game files
tulip raptor
i give up
hey so
did you ai generate mgr_proxy too
because without that it works
maybe somethings wrong in it
i mean it doesn't work
black screen
but thats because it needs to proxy config
tulip raptor
yes
topaz saddle
where the remix menu was there but it was black
topaz saddle
oh
tulip raptor
it must be the remix.dll
because that's what gets loaded when i have mgr_proxy
without it
there's no d3d9
old flicker
the ini file tells the proxy what to load
tulip raptor
@old flicker what is dxvk
do i need dxvk installed somewhere
that was a stupid question i know what dxvk is
but do i need to do something with it
tulip raptor
steam
old flicker
<@410198342300205066> what is dxvk
remix is based on dxvk. that's what dxvk-remix is
old flicker
you don't need separate dxvk
tulip raptor
i was installing it to the wrong directory
OH my pc
okay it went on a white screen used 100% gpu than instantly crashed
tulip raptor
RTX 3070
ive gotten this to work before
im the one who was originally doing the fvf stuff
and the one who dropped the elite ball knowledge of the 16 bit uvs
lofty aurora
i was installing it to the wrong directory
You cannot make this up 🤣 🙏
topaz saddle
hm
tulip raptor
we might be back
topaz saddle
good stuff?
tulip raptor
i cant see the logos
tulip raptor
The game only works if I remove the d39_steam006 and MGR_PCFix.dll
and i cant see the logos
if i add them it just instantly crashes
old flicker
well
if there's an alternative fix for this game we could just hook that instead
or just skip it entirely
we def don't NEED it
tulip raptor
if there's an alternative fix for this game we could just hook that instead
IniTweaker is probably better
It’s an ASI mod by frouk but seeing as you can already load any DLL it should be trivial to get working
it’s got all the features of 006 and more
old flicker
can you link it
tulip raptor
When I get back, gimmie a few
tulip raptor
can you link it
@topaz saddle how did you fix the game being black
rtx remix works but nothing shows
if your wondering how i got in game to see textures while im on a black screen its because i have 360 hours in this game
i should try it blindfolded sometime
topaz saddle
remove all ui
from the ui section
hit split catagory list thenonly show assigned textures
then click on anything in the ui tab
tulip raptor
from the ui section
?
topaz saddle
...............................
ok then go into
the second tab of that section and disable vertex data from shaders
tulip raptor
hot
@topaz saddle is this a common bug
where stages are just really dark
like it works its just super dark
old flicker
that's because the distant light fall back is being cut off by the skybox or something. you have to mark the skybox in the Game Setup tab
tulip raptor
that's because the distant light fall back is being cut off by the skybox or som...
I did
old flicker
you marked it as sky?
tulip raptor
old flicker
strange. usually should light up the level some. go into to the parameter tuning tab, then fallback light
and change it to sphere
going to sleep now
old flicker
sometimes one texture gets applied to everything. not sure if it's an issue with the wrapper or with remix
you can ignore it in the game setup tab
tulip raptor
you can ignore it in the game setup tab
wdym ignore it
like get rid of the repeated texture?
old flicker
click on it and press ignore
tulip raptor
doesnt do anything
topaz saddle
why is it all world marshal
if you go into the texture tab you can ignore that specific texutre by holding the menu open, clikcing on it and looking for ignore texture in the list
tulip raptor
if you go into the texture tab you can ignore that specific texutre by holding t...
i did that and it still happened
its like ignoring my choice
it also happens with sky textures
which version of the dll do you have
topaz saddle
tulip raptor
there we go
topaz saddle
lol
tulip raptor
lol
do you ever get these insane white squares flickering
i can see the scene rendering properly behind them when i pause
topaz saddle
yeah its cuz of ui issues
tulip raptor
what do you do about it?
topaz saddle
nothing
there is nothing i can do
besides ignoring the texture
cuz i also see the leaf
tulip raptor
besides ignoring the texture
how do you know which ones to ignore
topaz saddle
js anything on screen
shadow cedar
Ik its janky but that shot at 0:08 kicks ass
old flicker
this is my experimental port of the FFP conversion to xoxor's framework. press F4 to open the GUI
it's very broken right now
but it fixed much of the crashing issues
topaz saddle
Ooooh
old flicker
your name is confusing me so much 😭
topaz saddle
your name is confusing me so much 😭
Dave and the davelings
topaz saddle
Moving back over here, what is broken atm?
topaz saddle
Ok
old flicker
things that work:
- UI
- most rendering
problems :
- FFP skinned meshes aren't implemented (though i'm going to re-implement this, i may have found what was causing the perf issues)
- registers are seemingly not perfect, as foliage is mapped to what appears to be a fullscreen quad (foliage and decals take over the screen at random basically)
- still unstable sometimes
i might restart on MGRR from scratch. the old code is buggy AF, and the tools i've made for FFP conversion since then are so much better
topaz saddle
Might be best to

The plant thing has happened even since the fake cam so im not suprised
old flicker
😖
topaz saddle
What have you found with perf?

saintmath said this: #1097963421619720392 message
it's for halo, but i'm 100% sure it's the same issue in MGRR
it was basically doing a shit ton of complex math on the CPU to figure out the matrices
there's a far more efficient solution, what he proposed. so i'll be trying that next
topaz saddle
Ah
old flicker
the toolkit defaults to this new behavior too
topaz saddle
Makes sense
old flicker
so hopefully it won't happen for other games anymore
