[clear dagger]

Miasma Chronicles ✅ Upgrade R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS (Output).

The only options I have are Output size, Output ratio or Any size
Is this just an error on the wiki that it only says Output and not Output size?

[paper radish]

How do you fix when a game has completely washed out colors after installing RenoDX?

Thanks, I have the latest REshade and RTX HDR is off,

I will get this analyzer

Does it mean anything when there are two installers for the same game in the Reshade list?

[empty kettle]

Seems normal depending on the game

But yeah send a screenshot

[paper radish]

I pulled it from the mods page

how recent was this update?

Maybe the mods aren't updated yet

yeah it says this mod hasn't been updated since april i think

well actually a different mod than the one we were talking about sorry

The washed out mod is Hogwart's Legacy

[empty kettle]

Huh

[paper radish]

now i'm having trouble with FF7 remake

Ok thanks, you said something had changed a month ago so I didn't know if April was recent enough

Now i gotta figure it out sigh

[empty kettle]

Hogwarts legacy doesnt have a dedicated mod and isnt on the UE list so thats a bit difficult

[paper radish]

Understood

With FF7, the installer didn't find RenoDX or the shader effects, does that mean I have wrong directory?

it also found two copys of FF7.exe or whatever..

[empty kettle]

Should be win64 shipping exe

Other one wont work

[paper radish]

both of them just say "Ff7remake.exe"

[empty kettle]

Can you screenshot the games root folder please

I don't own the game so i cant look at its files

[paper radish]

yes thanks

here i go:

I'm new to windows can't get snipping tool to work second

[topaz quail]

what monitor do you have?

[paper radish]

LG B7 OLED

[empty kettle]

The correct EXE has an underscore in it i believe

Should be in end/binaries/win64

ff7remake_.exe

[paper radish]

oh thanks!

I'm going through the reshade install again that will probably work!

thanks

Sigh, Renodx isn't in the list of shaders to install

even though it's in the same folder

ok it was on the next screen sorry

forgot there were two

great community here

!

thanks

[empty kettle]

If its in the folder you shouldnt install it through the installer, not that ive ever had the installer not have it greyed out

[paper radish]

yeah it's been gray

Man so when this is working it's like a new game

Really impressive

[elfin lance]

sorry I havnt been fixing lutbuidlers, I've been busy

but I'll get to them

[devout kiln]

hello, im trying to use unreal engine renodx mod for little nightmares, but it instantly crashes when i launch the game

im doing something wrong?

just installed reshade and placed addon on the .exe folder

[empty kettle]

You have the full addon support build of reshade 6.5.1?

[devout kiln]

yes i just downloaded it from reshade

[empty kettle]

Can you upload the reshade.log please

[devout kiln]

game is fresh install

reshade too

[empty kettle]

and youre just using reshade nothing else?

[devout kiln]

yes

[empty kettle]

does it crash without RenoDX?

[spare bane]

rare amd user

[devout kiln]

yes

[empty kettle]

Reshade install issue if it crashes without RenoDX

[devout kiln]

i use reshade on other games

without issues

[spare bane]

15:00:14:086 [ 1928] | WARN | Skipping device because it uses the Microsoft Basic Render Driver.

overlays?

[devout kiln]

gamebar?

[empty kettle]

that would be my guess

[empty kettle]

unlikely

[spare bane]

gamebar isn't an overlay, steam, amd, etc

[empty kettle]

steam or RTSS would be the most likely to cause issues

[spare bane]

not sure what's trying to use microsoft basic render driver

amd on dx11 is fine, as well

OnSetFullscreenState related maybe

[devout kiln]

i tried disabling fullscreen

no luck

ill reboot to try

[spare bane]

15:00:15:213 [ 1928] | INFO | [RenoDX] mods::swapchain::OnCreateSwapchain(swap: r10g10b10a2_unorm => r10g10b10a2_unorm, present mode:0x0 => 0x4, present flag:0x2 => 0x800, buffers:1 => 2)

weird for any game to use single back buffer, especially unreal, i think

[devout kiln]

no luck

i used renodx on other games

[spare bane]

it crashes without renodx?

[devout kiln]

no issue

yes

strange

i have right now another game with reshade

[spare bane]

try the latest reshade from here : https://github.com/crosire/reshade/actions/runs/16033694054

[devout kiln]

working

[devout kiln]

idk how to download

no download button anywhere

[devout kiln]

maybe log in required

[empty kettle]

Correct

[devout kiln]

thanks, i was recovering my password

i didnt remember it

no, instant crash

ill try to disable gamebar

[spare bane]

be sure to try without renodx

[devout kiln]

without renodx its also not working

[spare bane]

i know

[empty kettle]

Just try

[spare bane]

that's why it's best to test without it to see if it can narrow down why the game doesn't launch with reshade

[devout kiln]

without reno

[spare bane]

hmm, can you try without the shaders

[devout kiln]

the same

i deleted shader folders

and texture

nothing

[spare bane]

can you open reshade.ini and add...

[ADDON]
DisabledAddons=Effect Runtime Sync,Generic Depth

this to the top of the file

so it looks like

[ADDON]
DisabledAddons=Effect Runtime Sync,Generic Depth

[GENERAL]

[devout kiln]

yes

im doing

crash

im going to try an old reshade i have

[empty kettle]

xould it be drivers? im struggling to find info on AMD driver numbers, im assuming reshade logs a different version number to what theyre called

[spare bane]

i think the basic driver is rare

but reshade crashing is a thing that crosire will probably fixed

[devout kiln]

ok

with my comfy old version it works

[spare bane]

which version?

[empty kettle]

310.0 doesnt line up with any Radeon drivers i can find thats my concern, could just be how reshade is reporting it tho

[devout kiln]

6.4.1

.1965

i use the latest driver

25.6.1

[spare bane]

this is 6.5.0

can you try that?

[empty kettle]

Yeah best to try 6.5.0

[devout kiln]

ok

ill do

ah

it was working because

i had reshade64.dll and dxgi.dll

a comb with specialk

now its not working again

[empty kettle]

Ok so youre using SK?

[devout kiln]

no

on all the test we did before no

only reshade

[empty kettle]

Hmm strange

[devout kiln]

now that it is working

[spare bane]

did 6.5.0 work?

[devout kiln]

is with specialk

im trying

[empty kettle]

Is there a chance special K was trying to inject

[devout kiln]

program is closed

6.5 crash

only works the comb of specialk

ill try with that if reno works

[spare bane]

commit76dae8b

try this ^ please

[devout kiln]

doesnt work reno with specialk

ill try that 10

worked

[spare bane]

so somewhere between 76dae8b and 6.5.0 it broke

[empty kettle]

Lovely

[spare bane]

commit 9f5ef98

can you try 11 ^

[devout kiln]

its crashing with 10 again

i reinstall it from 0

maybe was sk on

i forgot to rename

ill try 11

[spare bane]

so 10 crashes?

[devout kiln]

yes

11 too

i must leave

ill play with sk hdr

and thats it

nothing can i do

[empty kettle]

shortfuse, is there any chance that its not an interaction with AMD stuff?

[devout kiln]

last log if interested

[spare bane]

doesn't honestly matter

should fix it in reshade

like even if there are 14 overlays running

[empty kettle]

i was just wondering if it was worth me downloading the game to troubleshoot thats all

[spare bane]

commit 10c5888c60d4e6f6fec90f24925b7ea824f000e6

the game works, so it's more something about the machine

@devout kiln can you try the reshade64 from above ^?

[empty kettle]

they did say this so theyre probably busy

[spare bane]

ah

might have been SK tbh

between 6.4.1 and 6.5.0 it passes some information to SK

and SK can run as a service and autohook

[empty kettle]

they said the program (id assume SKIF) was closed

but could be

[spare bane]

you can also close SKIF to minimized notification area

[empty kettle]

I dont mind trying it out if thatll help at all

[spare bane]

these options

[empty kettle]

Yeah

[spare bane]

i went as far back as the latest reshade autobuild, and then had to build myself for inbetween builds, but it's between mar 2nd and april 18

[warm mortar]

Fairly new to RenoDX, does anyone know how to stop the loading screens in Trials of Mana having glitchy black boxes around the text?

I'm assuming I need to upgrade one of the texture types?

[spare bane]

japanese games are generally custom UE. don't know what devs do in Japan, but might be some common plugin they all use. sometimes you need one of the BGR8 textures upgraded

[empty kettle]

Yeah there seems to be weird Japanese game dev stuff that happens

I know the RGG games have some weird shit going on in places

[warm mortar]

I tried upgrading them all individually and didn't fix it, might just have to deal with it.

So far it only seems to be in loading screens.

[devout kiln]

i come back

and was thinking

what if i launch it from steam...

and thats it

worked

hahah

[spare bane]

reshade has some reliance on knowing to hook based on steam i heard

[devout kiln]

its strange bcause until now, it didnt matter where i launch it

[spare bane]

so the game launches from the exe without reshade, but will only launch with reshade if it's launched via steam?

[devout kiln]

always worked on any game

[devout kiln]

yes

[spare bane]

what's the game?

[devout kiln]

perfect

[devout kiln]

this little nightmare

is the first game i has this issue

[spare bane]

can you try this reshade? #1321685184852135967 message

it's 6.4.1-based still

[devout kiln]

but reshade must be dxgi right?

[spare bane]

yes

just rename it to dxgi.dll

[devout kiln]

ah

no

i mean from steam works

with the latest reshade

so problem solved

[spare bane]

well today

until somebody else comes along with a similar issue

or some other game has the issue

[devout kiln]

you can pin it, like, "if game crash, try launch from steam" or something like that

[spare bane]

and if the game doesn't use steam?

[devout kiln]

thats an strange situation

[spare bane]

not really because we still don't know why it doesn't work

we just know that launching via steam fixes it

[devout kiln]

with strange i mean

most of people only use steam

if its not from steam

or its pirated

or

epic shit

[spare bane]

you don't know why it works from steam, so saying just run steam doesn't make sense

because you don't know what steam is doing to make it work

[devout kiln]

ah yes

[spare bane]

basically reshade can't hook some games

after some change between 6.4.1 and 6.5.0

[devout kiln]

but it worked on my 6.4.1

because was mixed with sk

[spare bane]

i know

[devout kiln]

ah

[spare bane]

it works on 6.4.1

it doesn't work on 6.5.0

[devout kiln]

but not reno

reno didnt worked with that mix

[spare bane]

does reshade 6.5.0 work when launching from the exe?

[devout kiln]

no

i tried lot of reshades

[spare bane]

so something between 6.4.1 and 6.5.0 broke

[devout kiln]

but in nvidia works

or not

[spare bane]

https://github.com/crosire/reshade/compare/v6.4.1..v6.5.0

that's everything changed between 6.5.0 and 6.4.1

so i'm asking for you try different versions of in-betwen 6.4.1 and 6.5.0 to figure out what caused it to break

[devout kiln]

i tried most of them right?

you send me

[spare bane]

#1321685184852135967 message i don't know about thi sone

[devout kiln]

yes i tried it

not working

[spare bane]

okay

so that narrows it down to something between 6.4.1 and 10c5888c60d4e6f6fec90f24925b7ea824f000e6

i have like a few more things it could be if you're willing to try

[empty kettle]

Is this purely a steam hook issue, as in would be replicable on other configurations

[spare bane]

i don't think i ever launch anything via steam itself

only ff7remake because it complains if you don't

at this point it's any of these 28 files https://github.com/crosire/reshade/compare/v6.4.1..10c5888c60d4e6f6fec90f24925b7ea824f000e6

@devout kiln this is my build of 6.4.1 for a sanity check. it should work from launching from exe

[devout kiln]

ill try

no

maybe something related with amd

or idk

[elfin lance]

@spare bane ever since we added the <20 thing

amd users crash in dx12 ue 4.27 games

[spare bane]

so #1321685184852135967 message which is my build of 6.4.1 crashes, but reshade's setup version of 6.4.1 doesn't crash?

[elfin lance]

ue5+ works just fin

and dx11 works just fine

[spare bane]

stop

[elfin lance]

oh its something else

mb

[devout kiln]

something different, can i have that at the old style?

i dont like it

its not colorful anymore

[spare bane]

that's lilium's reshadefx

it's how it looks now

[devout kiln]

sad

was better before imo

i cant see a shit here

[spare bane]

@devout kiln #1321685184852135967 message

[devout kiln]

i tried

didnt worked

[spare bane]

so the 6.4.1 i built crashes for you? but 6.4.1 from the website doesn't crash?

[devout kiln]

everything crash

[elfin lance]

I mirrored all your builds

if you want to test one of those

[spare bane]

6.4.1 crashed?

[devout kiln]

as i said that 6.4.1 didnt crashed because sk

[elfin lance]

https://github.com/marat569/reshadeinstaller -- those are most of the builds you made; if you want him to test any of them

[elfin lance]

huh

so something in 6.5 broke amd

[spare bane]

no

[devout kiln]

because was mixed with sk

[spare bane]

it doesn't work with 6.4.1 either

SK auto launches steam

[devout kiln]

being sk the dxgi, and reshade being reshade64

[elfin lance]

I know another dude on AMD that can test stuff; but I noticed AMD related issues are weird between skus (like 6xxx gpus, 7xxx gpus, etc)

[spare bane]

well, testing between 6.4.1 and 6.5.0 is a waste of time if it doesn't work on 6.4.1

basically we don't know if reshade ever worked without requiring steam

@devout kiln probably reshade does wrong, but SK sets the steam variables and whatever, so SK isn't really directly launching the exe.

[elfin lance]

I know SK does some weird stuff with steam, and SKIF has a thing that bypasses steam (quick launch)

I know it does something weird with the steam user, and sometimes like your save will be visible when you only use SK (in games that tie saves to steamid)

[spare bane]

strange, that reshade requires steam to load the libraries (my guess), when it should realy hook into anything

but if i can reproduce it, i'll file it with crosire

[elfin lance]

you can kill most sk steam functionality with a ini flag iirc

[devout kiln]

but as i said

its only on this game

[spare bane]

i know, but if a game can launch without steam, then reshade should be able to hook into it without needing anything different

probably really is getting a reproducible to figure out why reshade starts up, does stuff, and then... quits/crashes

Guess I’ll finally get this working with this addon then

[elfin lance]

get them lutbuilders (or they might already be in the mod) and try it out

but I have a feeling the game might have berserker-like effects after sample

which might not be hard to fix

[jovial trout]

Yeah it has shaders after, it’ll be more than the lutbuilder

But I’m def waiting for this update to do it

[elfin lance]

if its a shader like berserker

its pretty easy to fix

[jovial trout]

Eh, maybe I’ll do it sooner. The shader afterwards would at least be worth figuring out. There’s a chance they changed tonemapping with this update since they also did GI stuff.

[elfin lance]

smt5 has shaders that come after, but they're a bit more complicated

so I have to fuck with those some time soon

procrastinating heavy

[warm mortar]

You're telling me the game wasn't HD before?

[jovial trout]

Yeah for whatever reason they didn’t update pc with the next gen features

[quick sedge]

In Biomutant, the UI Brightness slider sometimes controls max nits in the game, and sometimes it doesn't. How is that? o_O
Sometimes the brightness in the game drops to the UI Brightness level, and sometimes it doesn't. What is that?

I don't even know how to recreate this

[empty kettle]

Probably something to do with sliders only updating properly on scene change or similar

[quick sedge]

I wonder if there is any way to prevent this. My guess so far is that some kind of filter is turned on at certain locations in the game

I don't want to play with the interface at max brightness all the time, it's horrible

Any ideas what could be done?

[cobalt marlin]

Might wanna try this if it has native HDR

Replace 300 with whatever you fancy, should force the HUD brightness to that (not sure if it works with UE4 titles, but it does for UE5 normally)

[quick sedge]

Does this require native HDR to be enabled in the game?

[cobalt marlin]

I think so, yeah

Might not be suited then ig

[empty kettle]

It requires the engine to be outputting HDR

Which

Depends on the game

[quick sedge]

I'm using RenoDX in the game now

[bold gulch]

we can force hdr output

[empty kettle]

I know

[bold gulch]

UE universal mod requires hdr off in game

we handle hdr ourselves

[quick sedge]

Okay. I found the exact moment when this happens. When the game shows a hypoxia warning on the screen, then the game brightness level drops to the UI Brightness level and then this slider starts controlling max nits. Before that, everything is fine. I think you can write this down as a RenoDX bug with this game

[quick sedge]

This does not control the brightness of the interface when using RenoDX

Tried to enable native HDR in the game. It's just a mess, does not work

[cobalt marlin]

Sorry for wasting your time then :/

[quick sedge]

Any thoughts on how the appearance of one message on the screen (which contains a timer) can switch the max nits adjustment to another setting slider?

[viscid mirage]

yea a small UI element like a timer can use a shader that draws over the entire image and clamp to UI brightness. saw that in chorus and asterigos, and that required a manual fix

[quick sedge]

What can be done?

[viscid mirage]

you'd need to fix the shader responsible for that

you could find the shader for us, if you want to do that

I honestly have no idea how difficult this would be for a first time user lol

but you basically need to download the reno devkit

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

and put it next to the UE addon

and then in-game, wait for the timer to appear and press "snapshot" in the devkit menu

[viscid mirage]

does the devkit work by itself, without the UE mod

[quick sedge]

yes

[viscid mirage]

then do this

after the snapshot, you have to switch to the shaders view (second menu on the left in the devkit window)

scroll basically all the way down and try to disable the shaders one by one

actually, without the UE mod I don't really think there's an easy way to tell you which one is the problem

you can try dumping the bottom/last ten shaders when the timer is present via the dump button

and then share the cso files from the renodx-dev/dump folder

[quick sedge]

The timer disappears when I disable this shader

[quick sedge]

but it also disables the rest of the text in the HUD menu

[viscid mirage]

yea I don't think that's the one, doesn't have saturates in them. since the timer shader draws over the entire screen, disabling it may end up freezing the game instead

but it's not the last one in the list

you can also just send me those ten last shaders and I'll look through them

[neat wigeon]

Had a silly funny thing happen today

Using transformer frame gen in banishers ghost of new Eden

It wasn’t actually flickering like it was clipping it to sdr like the normal issue. It looked more like vrr flicker.

Issue went away when I disabled my override. Very strange

[quick sedge]

the last one doesn't go because it's 0 byte

[viscid mirage]

wait were you using any kind of upgrades

it likely just needs B8G8R8A8_TYPELESS at Output Size

none of the shaders you shared look similar to the ones in chorus and asterigos

[quick sedge]

it didn't help

[viscid mirage]

output ratio maybe?

[quick sedge]

that didn't help either

[viscid mirage]

:(

are you sure you pressed snapshot exactly when the timer was on screen

[quick sedge]

yes

[viscid mirage]

hmm

maybe it requires some other resource upgrades

just try setting everything to output size lol

[quick sedge]

tried everything to output size and output ratio, it didn’t help

[viscid mirage]

no idea then, sorry

[quick sedge]

There were a couple of shaders in the list that when disabled caused the game to freeze

[quick sedge]

@viscid mirage I think the problem is not in the message itself, it is in the vignette effect that appears on the screen during hypoxia

[quick sedge]

If there was a way to make this vignette effect not appear at all, maybe then we could get around this

[zealous quartz]

Hello

I'm trying to play to Ninja gaiden 2 black but when I launch the game with the add on file I have a black screen

[empty kettle]

Send your reshade.log

[zealous quartz]

How I do that ? 😅

[maiden sphinx]

open the renodx menu and upgrade rgb10a2 unorm to output size and restart your game

[zealous quartz]

I don't see that anywhere

[left zealot]

[maiden sphinx]

change the settings mode to advanced and it'll be at the bottom

R10G10B10A2_UNORM

[zealous quartz]

Ok

[maiden sphinx]

also make sure the game's native hdr is turned off

[zealous quartz]

Ok thanks it works but now when I launch a new game or a save there is another problem

It's stuck like that but I hear the game working

[empty kettle]

Are you using anything except for reshade

Like SK?

[zealous quartz]

Nope but I deactivated the dlss and it works now

is it normal ?

[zealous quartz]

I don't even know what SK is 🤣

[empty kettle]

Probably not

[empty kettle]

@zealous quartz do this but to output ratio

[zealous quartz]

I close the game ?

when I change the game brightness with renod that doesn't change anything

only the UI brightness

🤔

[empty kettle]

Yes

[empty kettle]

Sliders dont update in real time

Close and open a menu or go through a loading screen

[zealous quartz]

When I do it whith Witcher 3 I see the change un brightness in real time

[empty kettle]

It depends on the game

[zealous quartz]

Ah ok

[zealous quartz]

There is no change with ninja even with a menu

I'll go to sleep I'm tired i'll try another time

Thanks for your help !

[empty kettle]

Try a loading screen

[zealous quartz]

still nothing

thanks again 🤝

[elfin lance]

@warm lion @maiden sphinx @carmine ice added your lutbuilders, sorry it took a while

[maiden sphinx]

need addon32 to test refunct

[elfin lance]

no way

didnt know 32 bit UE4 was a thing

@maiden sphinx

[red marten]

100% returnal with the ue mod, its sold didnt notice any issues 👍

[quick sedge]

Speaking about completed games with RenoDX: UE. Not long ago finished The Alters. Visually everything worked fine, including with framegen. The only thing is that the game constantly crashed starting from the second act, but judging by the discussions on the forums, this is normal behavior

[maiden sphinx]

look good 👍🏻 it's a really small game (<150mb) so the dev probably just didn't care about memory requirements

[elfin lance]

pog

I tested frank stone myself, cool game

found more lutbuilders playing

@maiden sphinx if you go between vanilla and renodrt; its not that crazy different

[rain tulip]

@vital terrace I got EA Sport's WRC lutbuilders merged to the repo for the UE generic mod. I remember you mentioned it a while ago

[elfin lance]

ohh thats you

I looked over the commit last night

and told shortfuse they're good

nice job, you did everything right

your github name is not your discord name lol

[rain tulip]

Lol yeah, I should probably change it. Thanks for looking it over and giving it the green light

[elfin lance]

its not a big deal

was just a name I didnt recodnize

so I was like "who this"

I got excited we got a new dude fixing lutbuilders

[rain tulip]

Yeah it looks pretty straightforward, I'll probably end up going through the UE games I own and get their lutbuilders fixed

[neat wigeon]

banishers is crashing with the newest UE reno

not even sure how id start with the troubleshooting lmao

[elfin lance]

are you on an AMD GPU?

also send reshade.log so I can c

[neat wigeon]

5090

[elfin lance]

let the game crash and send reshade.log

are you using any other mods or specialk?

[neat wigeon]

yup

[elfin lance]

try this for fun

its slightly older

its what I use

also did the mod work before

and is broken now?

[neat wigeon]

d3d11 may technically be working but it fucks the performance in this game it seems

[elfin lance]

is this your first time using the unreal mod with banishers?

[neat wigeon]

although it may have just not crashed yet

it was working last night but ive had issues with it before

[elfin lance]

disable the built in reshade addons

and delete all reshade fx files

[neat wigeon]

thought i did lol

oops

lemme look

[elfin lance]

make sure when you turn on reshade, it says "unable to find any fx"

[neat wigeon]

addons were already off

all fx are deleted

lemme see if it crashes again

this is a game that you have to do the output size r10g10b10 change

if thats any context

[elfin lance]

also use this; latest commit

[elfin lance]

yea I saw that in the log

[neat wigeon]

still crashes

[elfin lance]

I just uploaded it

how did you test it os fast lmao

[neat wigeon]

trying this now

[elfin lance]

oh ok

lmao

[neat wigeon]

no i mean after i removed the fx files lol

[elfin lance]

ah

[neat wigeon]

still crashes

[elfin lance]

disable all your overlays?

idk

nvidia overlay, steam overlay

wtf is all this

thats not very helpful

that can mean the gpu is unstable

or oc is unstable

[neat wigeon]

the classic device was removed

[elfin lance]

or the game crashed

or the mod broke it

try to drop clock by like 50mhz for fun

or remove oc if you have one

[neat wigeon]

i havent manually oc'd

[elfin lance]

do you have auto oc on or something like that

[neat wigeon]

its an factory oc'd card

[elfin lance]

thats the same as no oc

[neat wigeon]

yeah ik

[elfin lance]

try dropping oc by 50

[neat wigeon]

im just sayin

[elfin lance]

-50

[neat wigeon]

i will try

[elfin lance]

btw do you have any other dx12 ue games

to test

so you know if its just banishers

[neat wigeon]

yeah other stuff works fine

[elfin lance]

iirc banishers is ue 4.26

dx12

I have no idea ngl

game is 20$, cant test

idk who else owns the game to test

[neat wigeon]

uhhh i think banishers is 5.0.3

ue^

[elfin lance]

did they upgrade it?

you can right click the .exe

properties

and then the version info will have the ue vrsion

[neat wigeon]

yup

5.0.3.0

[elfin lance]

guess they upgraded it

[neat wigeon]

pcgamingwiki says the same

[elfin lance]

or I'm thinking of a diff game

I just played

[neat wigeon]

im pretty sure it was always 5 lol

[elfin lance]

The Casting of Frank Stone

ue5

also 5090

works just fine

but I have no overlays

[neat wigeon]

no overlays did not fix

[elfin lance]

maybe I'm confusing it with a diff game

-50mhz on clock?

[neat wigeon]

trying now

[elfin lance]

you can go to renodx releases

and get an older version of the addon

from last week

and see if that works

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/releases

click the assets dropdown to see the addon files

go back a week or two

[neat wigeon]

-50 on the clock doesnt fix

ill try the older addon

still crashes lol

[elfin lance]

no idea man

if the game was cheap I'd buy it to test

[neat wigeon]

thanks for trying lool

[elfin lance]

hopefully somebody here has banishers

it should work because

we commited banishers lutbuilders

[neat wigeon]

its weird asf that it worked last night but not tonight

i didnt change anything

[elfin lance]

wait so

[neat wigeon]

only thing i can think of is a windows update or some shit lol

[elfin lance]

you didnt touch anything

and the game went from good to rip?

[neat wigeon]

yeah i turned it off, went to bed, got home from work and nope

dead

[elfin lance]

so just for fun

restart your pc

[jovial trout]

for shits and giggles try reshade 6.5.0

I've had crashing issues with 6.5.1

though they were repeatable and at startup for both grim dawn and titan quest

[elfin lance]

I sent him my reshade

its 6.5.1.2

its an unnoficial build

iirc its a noaddon build

[neat wigeon]

where could one source the files for 6.5.0?

[jovial trout]

https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_6.5.0_Addon.exe

reshade site hosts all the old builds afaik, you can just plug in the version number

[neat wigeon]

oh sick

[elfin lance]

if it worked before he went to bed

I dont think the issue is reshade

I'd try restarting the computer

like make sure it turns off fully

not a quick restart

[neat wigeon]

i did

so i havent crashed yet but uh

this is a new one

could also just be the game to be fair

lemme load it up without reno and see

[elfin lance]

are you using any like

nvidia tweaks

[neat wigeon]

dlss overrides

[elfin lance]

like forcing a higher AF

try disabling that

[neat wigeon]

nope

nope

yeah its fine without reno LOL

[viral junco]

I've noticed some issues with the sand in the Grand Desert area of Stellar Blade when using the latest Unreal Engine build (I did clear my cache).

The issue seems to affect all builds released after RenoDX Nightly Build 20250706

[elfin lance]

try the game in 16:9 window mode

and tell me if its still an issue

also if you can, clear the shader cache

and have it try to rebuild it

I'm running around the great desert, 4k 16:9

no issue

no mods except reno

[viral junco]

Still here in window mode 16/9 for me, I did clear the shader cache every time.
RenoDX Nightly Build 20250706 works fine, I have issues only with the 2 last builds (Nightly 20250707 and the snapshot).

I have my game modded and I have only swap the DLSS DLL of SR.

[elfin lance]

interesting

[elfin lance]

try this?

[viral junco]

Hum I just tried to remove every other changes / mods but the issue is still here

[elfin lance]

shortfuse commited some core changes recently

[viral junco]

I will try

[elfin lance]

that is the latest commit that I built locally

but idk

if something from a few days ago works; guess we prayge

shortfuse can narrow the bug down

since the unreal mod itself didnt change outside of adding a few more lutbuilders -- but that shouldnt matter

[viral junco]

No same issue on this one too

also in 16/9

[elfin lance]

rip

do me a favor

upload a reshade.log on a working version + broken version

make sure to name the files

and ping shortfuse

• open gooner blade with working version, go to the area, close the game, upload reshade.log

• open gooner blade with a broken version, go to the area, close the game, upload reshade.log

name each files with the version of the snapshot

[viral junco]

@spare bane
I noticed an issue on my side with the latest version of RenoDX UE and Stellar Blade :
#1321685184852135967 message

Here is my Reshade logs for the problematic version (snapshot-20250707) and the latest working version on my side (nightly-20250706).

[elfin lance]

now we prayge

[torpid glacier]

@neat wigeon I have banishers. If you guys still need someone to rest it, I can install it tomorrow and check it out

IIrc the game had no native hdr on launch. Is it still the case?

[elfin lance]

that would be nice

get the latest renodx unreal engine

and try it out

[torpid glacier]

Gotcha. No problem. I'll test it out and update. Does it have missing lut builders or is that part already done?

[elfin lance]

the lutbuilders should be there

idk what issue scrun is running into

[neat wigeon]

Yeah the lut builders are done already as far as I know

Thanks for all the help guys

[torpid glacier]

@neat wigeon I'm also getting this. Here are some captures. What even is this? I'm not sure whats happening here

[spare bane]

Weird nonsense in the game that it tries to prevent because if it's as the nonsense says, would crash:

OnCopyTextureRegion(mismatched: 0x0000001ea81429e0[0] (0, 0, 0) (r32g32b32a32_uint) => 0x000000038ffc6eb0[0] (bc3_typeless) (4160, 1560, 0))

So something in Reshade isn't being passed to RenoDX correctly, or RenoDX isn't storing formats properly.

Dx12 is a helluva drug

[viral junco]

Maybe I should try to save in another region, load from there and then come back in that region as Marat have no issue, if I understood correctly.

[spare bane]

it's likely psuedorandom chance. the log is saying what's doing. it's blocking a texture being written because it thinks it's an invalid write. just have to figure out why it thinks that

[viral junco]

Ok I see, I tried different builds before the latest who is problematic and everything works fine on all of them

[spare bane]

yeah, i'm grabbing the demo now, so i'll see what's going on. the point is it thinks the game will crash if it lets it continue

which is a good thing to prevent, if it were accurate

[neat wigeon]

yeah idk

[tacit vale]

Star Wars Jedi games still don't work? Doesnt seem to accept any upgrades.

[warped rampart]

Jedi games are very custom, they'd need bespoke mods

[neat wigeon]

graphical issues seem to not be there when i do it through specialK for some reason

but it does still crash after maybe 20-30 minutes

different error code this time though

[torpid glacier]

Is there no one working on Jedi games?

[spare bane]

yeah, stellar blade hue shift 100 is vanilla hue

and 0 because i broke the slider

not sure if the sand is fixed, but looks okay

hue clip is insane in this game

[elfin lance]

are you having fun

[spare bane]

closed it after the intro

press F to grab hand

QTEs in 2025

[elfin lance]

they handle QTEs pretty well imo

its only during really cool parts

[spare bane]

"Your video has been paused. Press to continue"

[elfin lance]

the yakuza games are qte heaven

thats some super pessemistic way of looking at it

I think of it as interacting with the video

and the duelense has haptic feedback + goonerblade supports it

so when you lets say take the hand

you get the vibration

dont get me wrong there are games that are over the top with QTEs -- but they can be done well and make your gaming experiance better imo

[spare bane]

i think it was spider-man where it makes you button mash and i just set the accessibility to hold instead

[elfin lance]

mashing is usually ass

unless its done for immersion

[warm lion]

tried renodx with the demo until full game gets downloaded, and im getting this weird, purple thingy, not there without reshade, also looks like demo didnt get any of the updates the full game got

[elfin lance]

latest builds are rip

of unreal

well not just unreal, I think a lot of mods are rip rn

[spare bane]

since when

ah, still uploading

[elfin lance]

let me build a mod for you

[spare bane]

it uploaded

[elfin lance]

oh ok @warm lion re-download unreal engine and try again

[warm lion]

seems to be okay on the latest game's build and most recent renodx-unreal 😄

[warm lion]

looks like it clamps at 1000 nits, mb that lutbuilder would help tho?

[elfin lance]

what game is that

nvm log says banishers

[elfin lance]

1

no lutbuilder should clamp to 203 nits/game nits

but no reason to not add a lutbuilder

[warm mortar]

Is it normal for Visions of Mana to crash unless I force -dx11?

[elfin lance]

visions of mana is weird

it started crashing a while ago idk why

so yea -dx11 for that

[warm lion]

also UI brightness controls brightness on 2nd character 😄

[elfin lance]

maybe the game is custom

and has effects after the generic unreal lutbuilder

when you're on the second char

do the color grading sliders do anything

like

set blowout to 100

does it make the game black and white?

[warm mortar]

Yea, I thought it was SK at first, but usually that works fine with RenoDX on UE games. Tried without and it crashed still.

[elfin lance]

yea idk whats up with visions of mana nowadays; but its a light game so dx11 should be fine

I remember supers being clamped; idk if that ever got fixed

[warm mortar]

My first time playing it, my 7950X3D should be overkill for it.

Does the game use RT or any other effects that would be missing in dx11?

[elfin lance]

doubt it

its a switch port

[warm lion]

it doesnt, mb that's that lutbuilder that got dumped 😄

[warm mortar]

It's not on Switch actually

[elfin lance]

ok yea; so there is a different lutbuilder when the second char is on screen

thats why brightness controls everything

I'll fix it later

[spare bane]

there should be a new build on the repo in about 5 minutes that has better dx12 stability

[elfin lance]

oh?

[elfin lance]

even before the new stuff; visions of mana was weird

[warm mortar]

Guess I'll wait a bit then

[elfin lance]

let me build you a local one

@warm mortar

[warm mortar]

That one still gets the fatal error

[elfin lance]

yea its just visions of mana being weird

[warm lion]

using sdr grading bypass pushes it over 1k nits, so it's just sdr grading, on the 1st character only ofc 😄

[elfin lance]

you dont really want to use sdr grading bypass

unless you know for sure the game doesnt use an sdr lut

[warm mortar]

Is it a newer build of RenoDX that broke Visions or an update to the game itself?

I can always just use an older build if it's the former.

[elfin lance]

old as in

ancient

[warm mortar]

Might be best to use the dx11 path then lol

[elfin lance]

just play in dx11, thats what I settled on

idk what broke where; but its only that one game

[warm mortar]

At least they patched in a shader compile step, I heard it was a mess with zero compilation at launch.

[warm lion]

seems to look almost identical, only going to 2k nits as intended 😄

[spare bane]

@elfin lance did you switch to release?

[elfin lance]

I think so

yes

clang 64 release

but visions of mana has been busted for ages; even before the whole descriptor table stuff

just that one game

[spare bane]

new build is up anyway on repo @warm mortar

[warm mortar]

Thanks

[elfin lance]

it worked in dx12 before the unreal mod was a thing, and I had a standalone mod for it

[elfin lance]

1

[viral junco]

I tried in the exact same save/configuration, seems to works fine on my side now. 👍

[neat wigeon]

i think eternal strands needs have its luts redone

it was updated and reno seems to not work anymore

does nothing other than gamma fix

[elfin lance]

enable dump lutbuilders

and upload them here

[neat wigeon]

i enabled it

does it generate the files somewhere?

[elfin lance]

yes in the game folder

there will be a /renodx/ folder

and inside of that will be .cso files

so play the game for a bit

and then close the game

dont play with dump lutbuilders on; it griefs fps

only use it for find lutbuilders

[neat wigeon]

hm it didnt make anything

let me run it for longer this time

[elfin lance]

that means:

1. the lutbuilder already exists

2. its a compute shader

do me a favor

set blowout to 100

and restart the game

and tell me what happens

[neat wigeon]

the sliders are just totally fucked

[elfin lance]

thats fine, trust

set blowout to 100

restart the game

[neat wigeon]

doing that now

black and white

[elfin lance]

ok

that means renodrt works

ue ~5.3+ games

dont have real time sliders

you need to edit the sliders, and then do a scene change

sometimes opening the menu and closing it works

loading a save file, etc

tl;dr, everything works -- just set the sliders to w/e value you want; and either exit to menu and reload

and if that doesnt work; restart the game

[spare bane]

sometimes going to game settings does stuff

like a brightness or contrast slider

[neat wigeon]

heres a funky one. UI brightness is changing the whole image

[spare bane]

means the game isn't separated from the ui, so it's a missing a shader/lutbuilder

or as marat explained, you need to force the game to run the lutbuilder for it to take effect

[neat wigeon]

i have dump lut shaders on

[elfin lance]

yea that usually always rebuilds the lut

moving brightness/contrast down 1 tick, and then setting it back to normal (move it back up 1 tick)

[neat wigeon]

nothing in the game folder

[elfin lance]

but in most games opening and closing the menu works

[neat wigeon]

does it do it when you close the game?

or during?

[elfin lance]

that means all the lutbuilders are in the mod, so turn off "dump lutbuilders"

the game is just on a new vrsion of UE without realtime sliders

[neat wigeon]

whats up with this then?

[elfin lance]

the sliders not applying in real time is not a bug

its intended behavior in unreal 5.3+ games

[spare bane]

#1321685184852135967 message

one of two things

missing lutbuilder or not running lutbuilder

[elfin lance]

builder is there; he restarted the game with blowout 100

he just doesnt get what no realtime sliders mean

[neat wigeon]

no i understand that lol

its just the ui brightness thing

was trying to work out how that could be fixed

[spare bane]

that's part of it

[elfin lance]

that will properly apply when you regenerate the lutbuilder

[neat wigeon]

oh i see

i get it now

[elfin lance]

aka cause a scene change

[neat wigeon]

i didnt realize that was part of that

i get it now

[elfin lance]

all the sliders are

so set whatever values you want, and try loading a save file if the game has a load open

or open/close the inventory (that usually works)

[neat wigeon]

so i suppose the game just kinda looks like this then lmao

[elfin lance]

?

[neat wigeon]

theres things that look like clipping but it might just be the way the game looks

just lack of detail

[elfin lance]

if you're talking about how the game looks after you messed with UI brightness

thats nto how it will look

[neat wigeon]

nah just in general

i have it correct now

[elfin lance]

did you upgrade stuff?

what game is this? the upgrades might be on the wiki

[neat wigeon]

eternal strands

[elfin lance]

not on the wiki

[maiden sphinx]

it’s on game pass

[elfin lance]

but you probably need rgb10a2_unorm output size

[elfin lance]

the mod works, I dont need the game

scrungus just needs to figure out how to set the mod up

[neat wigeon]

did need to do that

black screen

[elfin lance]

maybe bgr8_typeless output size

bruh

set the mod to advanced

[neat wigeon]

no im saying i already did that when i orginally installed it

[elfin lance]

oh ok

so

if stuff isnt getting bright

you can try upgrading b8g8r8a8_typeless to output size

ontop of r10g10b10a2_unorm output size

(restart the game)

btw take an hdr screenshot of the game

[neat wigeon]

trying this now

[spare bane]

looks... hdr to me considering this is sdr

[neat wigeon]

maybe im just trippin

[spare bane]

press the Off Preset and compare

[neat wigeon]

the ingame just looks oddly flat but that could just be art style

[elfin lance]

ohh and when you do preset off, you need to regenerate the scene again

[spare bane]

well, that too

[bold gulch]

The ui brightness slider works by multiply the game brightness as a ratio of game/ui brightness and then multiplying the ui brightness at the very end over everything. Since the lut builder isn’t re generating in real time it’s not first doing the ratio scaling, causing everything to get brightened up

[elfin lance]

both pics are proper hdr; and if its flat you can mess with the colorgrading sliders

[spare bane]

just slide contrast to like 60 or 70

[elfin lance]

^

[spare bane]

HDR does not mean Contrast

[elfin lance]

what do you mean, rtx hdr told me it has to be bright and contrast on 500

[neat wigeon]

real

[left narwhal]

Nice, it was plug and play with UE mod?

[neat wigeon]

reno off looks wayyyyy more saturated

ill just play with that ig

that slider i mean

[spare bane]

seems odd that it doesn't match, or mismatches that much

[elfin lance]

are you regenerating the lut after doing slider off

[neat wigeon]

yup

[elfin lance]

like opening the menu or loading a save

[spare bane]

yeah, because the sdr image has no highlights

if hue correction and saturation correction at 0 don't restore color, then it could be a bad lutbuilder

[elfin lance]

yea this is super gray

[neat wigeon]

i knew i wasnt crazy lmao

[elfin lance]

there are tons of warnins compiling UE nowadays

with perceptual new/old being unused

[neat wigeon]

it did not

[elfin lance]

https://github.com/marat569/renodx/blob/48082aeeba7fcd08b65eb9b7a84f503812c56d3d/src/games/unrealengine/lutbuilders/sm6/lutbuilder_0x95B1E481.ps_6_6.hlsl#L4

lutbuilder looks like a perfectly fine generic sm6 builder

[bold gulch]

If the game has a gamma slider then moving that usually regenerates the lut builder

[elfin lance]

with all the right colors

[neat wigeon]

thats what ive been doing

[elfin lance]

do you set it back to the original value

[neat wigeon]

yup

off vs scene grading 0

[elfin lance]

scene grading 0 isnt what we want

but that shows the colors for untonemappedap1 are there

[left narwhal]

How did you load ReShade? Dxgi.dll? It's producing a black image.

[elfin lance]

read

[left narwhal]

Oh, you fixed this shit for me in past with custom mods.

Split Fiction and all, I think

That's why I never had to.

[elfin lance]

stuff like cope33 and stellar blade has that stuff built in

[left narwhal]

OIC

No more black screen.

Magic.

[elfin lance]

I should hide the download link for unreal

unless somebody mouses over that message

about black screens

or make that the download link

[left narwhal]

Make a .txt downloadable, where it just says that, and then the actual download link in that text file.

[elfin lance]

LMAO

nah the text has to point to 5 survays

[left narwhal]

And make that final file password protected in a zip, that has a password "YesIReadIt"

[elfin lance]

and then you get another text

[left narwhal]

Case sensitive, too.

[left narwhal]

That's how I made my money back in the day.

[elfin lance]

pog

[neat wigeon]

ive tried most slider options i can think of so im stumped lol

[left narwhal]

Can I tell you the game exe or something, so you can add it where this is built-in in future UE builds as well?

I remember you asking for stuff like that for games

[elfin lance]

is the game popular

but I dont need the .exe

[left narwhal]

Not sure if that's how it works for this, too.

[elfin lance]

I need the product name

send reshade.log

[left narwhal]

Kinda, yeah. It's also on Game Pass, so lots of users now.

Heard great things, so trying it out now.

[elfin lance]

05:05:49:322 [57164] | INFO | [RenoDX] No default settings for TheAlters-WinGDK-Shipping.exe (The Alters)

rgb10a2 output size

its just "The Alters"

the reason we use product name is

[left narwhal]

Is it same across builds?

[elfin lance]

TheAlters-WinGDK-Shipping.exe is only gamepass

[left narwhal]

Steam, GP, Epic, et al?

Ah, yeah.

[elfin lance]

steam/epic is

TheAlters-Win64-Shipping.exe

but both steam and epic will have "The Alters" as the product name

[left narwhal]

Right, which might be different if devs actually went in and changed.

Figures.

I mean, either scenarios are a crapshoot, and not anything you can do with 100% certainty unless someone reports it.

But product name seems to be a better approach anyway, as it's unlikely they'll change it for diff builds.

[elfin lance]

what upgrades does the alters need
