This game has the worst TAA I've ever seen on PC. Does this mod work with the no taa blur mod? https://www.nexusmods.com/mafiadefinitiveedition/mods/129

[agile arrow]

I thought something was broken with the game when I first launched it. The TAA is so bad.

[agile arrow]

Check car tyres when steering, or people’s feet when walking

I had everything on max, including the crappy included AA

3440x1440 isn’t exactly a low resolution

Only played it for an hour and noticed it, hopefully I can use Reno and the remove blur mod at least

The included AA is garbage too, will probably have to reshade AA it

It’s basically black trails behind stuff

Awful shit

[agile arrow]

removed that and it crashes to desktop 😦
also removed color correction... still crashes

would be great if the mod could do the TAA removal itself, that is all that I care about post processing wise 🙂

[agile arrow]

I tried it but I still see the black trails behind feet on characters so I don’t think it’s working

It still looks blurry as hell

I tried adding reshade smaa and it still looks crap

ill do a video so you can see it

this game could definitely do with the pumbo treatment lol

the indirect and global lighting is pretty bad

indoor cutscenes look good but anything outside looks terrible

curious what dll's you have in your directory then..

yeah but i meant the nvapi one and such

[agile arrow]

i tried filmic and it seemed very dark indoors (on the very first addon, not tried your new ones)

How to make borseless work in this game

It’s not taking up whole screen

It’s like not centered

There is a thin line of desktop visible

I did that

It’s doing this

Seemingly caused by reshade

Wasn’t there a reshade addon to fix borderless in some games

i think that fixed it

[winged rock]

should host it standalone somewhere

Does the latest update only change pre rendered videos or gameplay also affected ?

[agile arrow]

Hey @quasi kite , if you fancy a challenge it would be great if you could look into the temporal black blur issue when time permits, thanks ❤️

[agile arrow]

@vapid basin is there a way to get a modern version of this?
https://github.com/Filoppi/reshade/releases/tag/v4.6.1
im trying to load voosh's mod here (gamepass version of Mafia DE) but it gets stuck with reshades spinning circle in top left and a blackscreen, can get it to work with fullscreen off however but i don't want the window bar on the top :/

[vapid basin]

I think renodx does this by default maybe

if not, it should

[agile arrow]

hmm, maybe it'll resolve itself if voosh gets around to updating his mods to a newer base like he said he might?

right now its blackscreen and color logo top left and no game with fullscreen on

[quasi kite]

You should be able to disable the window border in game settings.
It's not exposed in launcher for some reason.
Exclusive Fullscreen mode is known to crash on launch, couldn't do anything about it back then.

[quasi kite]

I'll have another look at this, really can't promise anything though given I remember having a hard time noticing the trails already.

Here is updated version. Not yet on Nexus because untested.

[agile arrow]

hey dude, so i was using the april snapshot version from the github, totally forgot it's on nexus cause there was no link to it (wiki needs update)

i'll try the new one and the older nexus one in the next fews days

the issue happens on the snapshot one with fullscreen on and window borders off

cheers

[quasi kite]

Hey, thank you, just fixed the links.
Odd though snapshot build seems to boot fine too.
Could the issue be caused by something else like some overlay? Most commonly Nvidia App or RTSS

[agile arrow]

nexusmods version

no sk equals the same issue i explained yesterday

no change with updated version, still black screen

think i might give up with this game, the fullscreen implementation is too cursed

[quasi kite]

HDR10 swapchain..? 🤔
That'd be SK doing I think, because RenoDX addon uses scRGB.
Anyway, if addon alone doesn't boot either, this likely ain't relevant.

Maybe try to add Swapchain Tweak addon from optional files here.

Else I understand addon booted when game's in windowed mode? From there it should be possible to remove the borders without going to exclusive fullscreen.

[agile arrow]

I think I can get it working without SK so that’s something

That swap chain tweaks seems to have helped I think

cursed!

[quasi kite]

2.2 Content EOTF sounds wrong.

[crude whale]

linear eotf

set to linear

or i think you can just select the passthrough option here

[agile arrow]

Tried that and no dice, also tried passthrough also dim and wrong

[agile arrow]

SK seems to load the wrong colors for its gui

Works fine with SK disabled though

Got any good settings for the mod or are the defaults ok?

[quasi kite]

Probably just a matter of finding the right way to load both.
SK can be installed locally or injected with SKIF.
ReShade and addon can also be installed in game folder or loaded externally by SK.
Maybe try some different combination of these I really don't know.
Also I believe I've read something about disabling SpecialK ReShade addon when using RenoDX... 🤷

[quasi kite]

Up to you really, default is SDR with highlights.
If too dim, try some of the HDR look color grading buttons and tweak to preference.

[fluid gale]

How do you actually get Fullscreen Windowed Borderless in this game with RenoDX? If I select fullscreen, the game just disappears and crashes shortly there after, as expected. If I leave fullscreen off, and also turn window borders off, the game isn't properly centered. Even with fullscreen optimizations off and DPI scaling set to application-controller, the window just ends up being slightly off from center. Is there a secondary mod that fixes this?

I did add the optional file from the SH2 page as well, but I didn't notice any differences with this particular problem. I feel like I'm just having a dumb moment and missing something

Set game to fullscreen

And add addon

Will work as borderless

[fluid gale]

Ha, I'll be damned, I was this close to getting it. After installing the addon I didn't try going back and enabling fullscreen again, assuming it'd crash. Can confirm that with the addon, fullscreen can be enabled and it looks great. Thank you!

Spoke too soon. Still crashes on launch with the wheel in the corner.

So you have to: set fullscreen off in launcher, then enable fullscreen in game. Be sure it's always off on launch.

[quasi kite]

I don't remember ever using Exclusive Fullscreen for this game, as it would crash on launch indeed.
Despite borderless not being available in launcher, it should still be saved after setting both Fullscreen and Window Borders to OFF in-game.

[agile arrow]

use sk + reno, fullscreen is off for more, then i turned that into borderless iirc

[agile arrow]

this is the only bug i've seen so far, this truck is always black

[agile arrow]

What option should I use if the blacks are too crushed?

[quasi kite]

Is that with default settings? Shouldn't be, what mission was that in?

[agile arrow]

these kind of vehicles are in the open world too

yeah defaults

seems like it's missing a texture

[quasi kite]

Yea I'll look into the truck thing thanks. I meant the crushed blacks

[agile arrow]

ah right, yeah even at stock settings some parts seem crushed like their base area part with the pool table and the table they all sit around

[agile arrow]

65 shadows looks better on an OLED, 42 from hdr look is way too crushed

[quasi kite]

Yea the buttons presets might be off if you're using this one

[agile arrow]

Don’t remember but it says 2024-04-24

[agile arrow]

car examples

[quasi kite]

UpgradeRTVReplaceShaderCallback 🙈
No idea what I'm doing. It seems to work though, trucks should be good now thank you!

[agile arrow]

ill try it out now

[agile arrow]

trucks seem good thank you

[agile arrow]

lol i managed to take a screenshot with the xbox controller during a cutscene and the whole damn computer crashed 😄

it was the bank job mission moonlighting if interested

legit crashed windows 😄

[agile arrow]

hmm, just had a game freeze too

[quasi kite]

Any other mod/overlay?

[agile arrow]

sk + reshade + reno as per normal, the reshade is the dx12 proxy one i think

no overlays or mods

[quasi kite]

Mind trying without SK, just to confirm?

[agile arrow]

It hasn’t happened since so I’ll just ignore it

I’d have to change the whole setup to do that

[agile arrow]

is this updated for reshade 6.5.1?

[hollow viper]

All snapshots are

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Mods

[quasi kite]

I also finally updated all Nexus pages yesterday fwiw

[agile arrow]

so mafia 2 time?

[hollow viper]

Mafia 3

[agile arrow]

preferably both 🙂

[vapid basin]

@quasi kite was Mafia DE also using Uncharted 2 TM?

[quasi kite]

Yup'.
Despite being cbuffers, I think all parameters use "default values" throughout the game, except for Linear White that is tied to auto-exposure/light adaptation.
There are a couple other curves in the shader, they are never used (on PC anyway).

[vapid basin]

the tonemap shader in shader also outputs modulation for TAA

the history frame

seems wierd

[ashen mango]

henlo

i have a problem with RenoDX on Mafia DE

I'm on Reshade 6.4.1

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1140604468770111508/1409173104017539273/image.png?ex=68ac6a39&is=68ab18b9&hm=bec678d23c0275c2f82535c33aaa4b623e7f7f12dadedf75261ff702fe2f7c7b&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=2507&height=1049

but i dont have renodx cursor

[hollow viper]

Use latest reshade with addon and use snapshot (latest version addon)

[ashen mango]

blackscreen with 6.5 or 6.5.1

[hollow viper]

https://clshortfuse.github.io/renodx/renodx-mafiade.addon64

[ashen mango]

already tried

[hollow viper]

Borderless windowed ?

[ashen mango]

yes

i'm trying update driver nvidia

ok good with 6.5.1 + link above, or nvidia update, don't know

thanks

[vapid basin]

@quasi kite does the game have bink videos?

Cuz mafia 3 had bad decoding

Making skin red.

[quasi kite]

No idea

It has pre-rendered stuff for sure, I don't know about bink or red skin

[vapid basin]

Check out the video shader from my repo

If you find the same matrices in mafia de

You'd know it has the same problem
