log is the same

#

17:48:04:403 [11704] | DEBUG | [RenoDX] utils::shader::BuildReplacementPipeline(Replacing 0xbbb5ca7b)

#

all I did was fix the lutbuilders the same as any other lutbuilder + add this to addon.cpp

// replace the 2 new  lutbuilders
    TracedShaderEntry(0x9DF2DDD4),
    TracedShaderEntry(0xBBB5CA7B),

#

I assume if the issue was a bad decomp it would just look fucked up

#

or not compile

#

vs. crash

spare bane Apr 9, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

crash is not from lut builders

#

can't be

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

the last lines in the log are upgrade 32x32x32 rgb10a2 -> fp16

replace 0xBBB5CA7B

#

it might not be the reason for the crash; but thats all I see

#

@bold gulch can you stick the devkit in jousant

#

and tell me if there are custom shaders that come after the lutbuilder

#

a normal game is

#

-> lutbuilder
-> shader that samples lutbuilder [draws to swapchain]
-> ui [draws to swapchain]
-> ui [draws to swapchain]
etc.

spare bane Apr 9, 2025, 9:54 PM

but there's something in SDR that is causing blowout

#

i need to find it

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

it might just be jousant doing scuffed shit

#

are you gonna look into fixing highlight desaturation with tonemappass?

#

so I dont have to do the scuffed dice/frostbite method

#

but yea sorry guys, I tried getting the game to work; no idea

#

when it comes to fixing shaders, no problem

#

but when it comes to the game crashing or the "lower level" swapchain stuff; I have no idea -- thats shortfuse's territory

2 shaders after the lutbuilder

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

bold gulch 2 shaders after the lutbuilder

so the shader that samples the lutbuilder

#

doesnt draw to swapchain?

bold gulch Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

oh wait i didnt check that

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

did you check if shader#2 is UI or not?

#

because 100 ui shaders after the sample shader is normal UE shit

#

and there will always be 1 shader after the lutbuilder; you can find it easily via 543

bold gulch Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

how do i even check

#

no green things in devkit

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

the start of the shader asm/llvm will have 543 -- since thats their RNG for grain

bold gulch Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

its not ui

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

bold gulch no green things in devkit

good question

bold gulch Apr 9, 2025, 10:08 PM

#

ui is the 3rd shader after

elfin lance Apr 9, 2025, 10:08 PM

#

if there is a shader after the sample shader

#

the game does custom shit

#

but even then, it should just look fucked up

#

not crash

bold gulch Apr 9, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

oh im dumb

#

its a vertex shader

#

forgot to disable those

#

so ya just lut sample shader

try live loading the hlsl?

see if it replaces

does the version of the .dll files in the decomp folder matter

mine might be on the older side (dxil/dxcomppiler)

but if the shader decompiles and then has no issue compiling in vscode; it should be fine?

Forcing HDR10 or scRGB also works, but I see part of the problem now.
By the time the code that checks for ReShade64.dll runs, the dumbass Unreal Engine has changed the working directory.

that might relate to why some people say saving doesn't work. not just in SK, I've seen Reshade have that issue as well. changing working path sounds unnecessarily problematic

It's hugely problematic 😕

spare bane Apr 9, 2025, 11:45 PM

#

@pseudo maple also, we use this Reshade #🧩renodx-dev message

#

that might not need the swapchain forcing

#

that's based on https://github.com/crosire/reshade/compare/main...clshortfuse:reshade:swapchaindesc-proxy

#

(just so we're on the same page)

pseudo maple Apr 10, 2025, 12:07 AM

#

Seems to be working alright now.
Still don't like that ReShade has to be loaded in-between initialization -- before SK fully initializes everything, but after it creates the dummy window to get the vftable from DXGI.
SK has an alternate mode where it can cache the vftable addresses, but I disable that whenever ReShade is present because that generally causes even more problems. 🤷 Can't win.

#

--
Actually, come to think of it...
The vftable cache wasn't being disabled because SK didn't spot ReShade in the game's directory, because the damn engine changed the working directory.
That may have been the problem all along.

jusant has a pipeline layout that doesn't use a descriptor table, which is the lut builder. that's all i found

#

#

game wants that blown out look apparently

pseudo maple Apr 10, 2025, 12:50 AM

#

Yup, that was the problem all along.

#

SK wasn't looking in the right directory for dxgi.dll

#

So didn't active ReShade compatibility code.

I've been trying to figure out for years why I couldn't load ReShade as dxgi.dll in that game and have SK's UI work.

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:05 AM

but it's the grading technically, we don't step all of it

i'm working on a different setup for UE

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

ok yea I checked the lutbuilders you commited, same colors I used

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

this might be inverse blue correct though: ```cpp

because ap1 has the blue correct

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

yea

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

actually, we don't want to inverse it

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

iirc you said we dont need blue correct

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

idk why they do it

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

because renodx aces/renodrt has it built in

#

so I think the latest untonemapped_ap1 go before blue correct

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

oh, there's a lerp

like to scale "how much blue correct"

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:07 AM

oh

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

so you can inverse to decide how little you want

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

guess we can start forcing lerp str to 0 for that

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:08 AM

i think all the weird color grading has already happen so everything after is just ACES RRT, and SDR tonemap, then maybe lut, then final pow/gamma

spare bane i think all the weird color grading has already happen so everything after is ju...

yea the stuff after branch is just encoding and pow/gamma type stuff

color space conersions for output device

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

so i'm thinking of making a CreateUEConfig(untonemapped_ap1)

#

then you can plug in stuff to the config

#

there's a clip to bt709 in there

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:09 AM

per game configs?

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

well, per lut builder

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

idk how well that would work

remember romance saga 2

where it used the same lutbuilder as all the other games we found

but it had different toe/shoulder/etc

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 1:10 AM

like, i want to bypass RRT

elfin lance Apr 10, 2025, 1:10 AM

so the very first lutbuilder fix we made didnt work

problem is the raw image heavily relie son it

yea idk how it works

because there is a max0

and games that use it do get WCG

is 0xc1b "stock" ?

because it is in a lot of games

so it would make sense if it was UE 4.27 stock

but i had hand checked it before and did this: ```cpp
// r4.y = cmp(0 < r3.x);
// r3.x = cmp(r3.x < 0);
// r3.x = (int)-r4.y + (int)r3.x;
// r3.x = (int)r3.x;
r3.x = sign(r3.x);

would be interesting to see that game with the shader piped through

which is "fine" but i didn't actually build a cli for raw llvm (though i could)

Speaking of which, static analysis just pointed out this lovely mistake.

  DWORD  dwWait =  WAIT_OBJECT_0;
  while (dwWait == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
  {
    dwWait =
      MsgWaitForMultipleObjects ( 3, hWaitEvents, FALSE,
                                        INFINITE, QS_ALLINPUT );
  
    XINPUT_STATE                  xstate = { };
    SK_XInput_PollController (0, &xstate);
    SK_XInput_PollController (1, &xstate);
    SK_XInput_PollController (2, &xstate);
    SK_XInput_PollController (3, &xstate);
  
    ResetEvent (hHotplugUnawareXInputRefresh.m_h);
  } while ( dwWait == WAIT_OBJECT_0 ); // Events #1 and #2 end this thread

That was clearly do-while a long time ago, now it's while followed by another while.
Harmless thankfully.

it does, seems fixed now

nice, thanks

#

could we maybe get custom sliders for game specific fixes or would that be too much work

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 PM

too much. we should extract stuff into folders then

viscid mirage Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

hmm

#

the game has a hatching effect and some weird stuff on highlights

#

if I made a native mod, I'd offer those as additional sliders to tone those down

viscid mirage Apr 10, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

spare bane too much. we should extract stuff into folders then

I think the game specific fixes should definitely be under a "games" folder, so that under unrealengine you only have a lutbuilders, swapchainproxy and games folder

@spare bane is color grading strength 0 equivalent to just ignoring the game's LUT for the look and just using renoDRT on the untonemapped image?

spare bane Apr 10, 2025, 4:29 PM

untonemapped still has some grading in linear

finite basalt Apr 10, 2025, 4:29 PM

dang yall were busy cooking in here hard yesterday

it's:

linear grading
untonemapped (here)
ACES rrt
UE SDR tonemap
SDR LUT (if it exists)
color lerps
custom gamma

#

the SDR tonemap may not be ACES-like (80/80/80), but you can usually replicate it, as long as you're willing to manually account for scene games and no LUTs

How did you do that when the game has no reshade settings for renodx? I've had the same issue from the start, like it's swapping between different presets, one of which is more red overall

wdym it has no settings? the generic unreal mod has a ton of them

Yeah but with SoM in particular, the mod only works normally for me when ingame HDR is off

And then, I don't see the mod UI at all, don't even see it in the addon section even though it's working since there is HDR

all good now, I set it to lazy and it works. I had the issue with the mod UI not being visible in the game even before SK, so I didn't try to mess with the load order.

#

I just nuked everything and reinstalled rehsade+sk from scratch and it works, just gootta test if the red flashing/tonemapper switch thing is still happening

#

I tried changing any settings per Ersh's advice, but the same thing still happens, sadly. Does SoM need any upgrades in the UE mod settings?

marble stump Apr 11, 2025, 11:14 PM

elfin lance Apr 13, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

maybe; but for now that one lutbuilder seems to work just fine

#

if he keeps playing we'll see what happens

#

my guess is the regular lutbuilder spawns for sdr -- which is what we want

#

and the lutbuilder that clamps (custom lutbuilder) is for native hdr -- even though it has the cbuffers for all the paths

#

or unused

#

@fallow mica if you move the UI nits slider in returnal

with my addon

does it only scale the UI?

unreal does this in HDR, which is apply some of the SDR effects when in BT709, and then does ACES 1000

#

where as sdr does aces rrt, custom tonemap and then those sdr effects

#

the max(r1.xyz, r0.xyz) is weird though

#

wait... that's...

#

none of this makes sense

#

ue seems more broken now than before

#

does it matter if the decompilation is broken after we run applyusertonemap?

#

probably not

#

I guess vanilla would be broken

#

spare bane the `max(r1.xyz, r0.xyz)` is weird though

whats r0 here, r1 is the color

spare bane Apr 14, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

r1.xyz is what we have for untonemapped_ap1 but in bt709

#

so they do some of the final gamma adjustments and stuff in bt709, like SDR does

#

but it doesn't have the UE tonemapper

#

it's there that south of midnight goes to hell

#

could it be vignette memes -- the no vignette cvar is tonemappingparam.3 or something

#

I think the description is "filmic no vignette"

that's UE tonemap

elfin lance Apr 14, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

thats right we have the source lmao

spare bane Apr 14, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

desaturate once to 96% saturation, tonemap to sdr, desaturate again to 93%

elfin lance Apr 14, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

why?

#

peak memes

spare bane Apr 14, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

don't ask yourself that

#

you know why

#

"it looks better!"

#

hardcoded nonsense

#

i need to show much is lost

elfin lance Apr 14, 2025, 12:29 AM

#

spare bane you know why

||thats the first thing I thought of, but was really really hoping that wasnt the case||

#

I didnt know you could desaturate with just color = lerp(y(color), color, x)

spare bane Apr 14, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

that's the grayscale way

#

where y of a color is grayscale

elfin lance Apr 14, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

I think I get it

jesus, the sun is yellow because clipping
