tyty

[merry tartan]

fyi, taa jitter should be kept off in that mod

setting doesn't really do what it says it does in practice

[queen girder]

are these correct?

[merry tartan]

that should work

[zinc sapphire]

sounds great!

[graceful vale]

❔

[zinc sapphire]

for ultrawide

it used to have grey borders lol

iirc

[graceful vale]

ahhh

[meager tendon]

Oh my god they actually fixed it lol

They had the same issue in world and never fixed it

[ebon tide]

Is anyone crashing with the mod now ?

[coral notch]

nope

[rustic bridge]

update is in 2h

[coral notch]

cleared out all my mods this morning to test vanilla performance once the patch hits. i'm not expecting much of a change. direct storage dll upgrade did nothing for me so hopefully they did more than that.

[meager tendon]

I thought it was at 8 pt

[coral notch]

servers go down at 3pm and come back up at 8 pst. not sure when the patch hits. i assumed 8

[rustic bridge]

[fading cape]

anyone know what time?

[meager tendon]

Exciting

[fading cape]

thats so late

[rustic bridge]

so after some conversion, updates is in 4 hours from now

jesus i hate all those utc/gmt conversion

[fading cape]

yeah fr

confusing af

[zinc sapphire]

UTC is good

at least you can easily convert to your timezone

imagine mentioning some meme us timezone

who the fuck can remember that

they have so many

[shut violet]

I'm still HR lvl 4 haha

[zinc sapphire]

screenshot enjoyer

[shut violet]

I had little time to play in the past 1-2 weeks

[zinc sapphire]

I'm like hr130 I forgot

[fading cape]

same

i got all achievements for the game

[merry tartan]

I kinda burned myself out on all the not-really-playing I did 😅

[fading cape]

just chillin till the update

[rustic bridge]

lv150+

artian bow at 3/5

not maxed out yet

[fading cape]

you did your job in helping with the hdr mod stuff lol

[coral notch]

i think i got up to 220 or 230

[shut violet]

I will continue the game this weekend

[rustic bridge]

hr doesn't really matter, jewels do

i got all nice combo jewels [3] for my archer

[coral notch]

gotta get to HR 999 for the "monster hunter" title

[zinc sapphire]

first we wait for reframework to work again, it might break with the update

then we wait for Renodx fix

[fading cape]

i've got like 5 of each and perfect artians lol

[zinc sapphire]

[shut violet]

yea true

[rustic bridge]

who's working on the next reno update?

ristu?

[shut violet]

my total playtime is ~80 hours or something

[fading cape]

for hr4? thats wild

[shut violet]

and I managed to leave the first area!

yea haha

[rustic bridge]

bro is playing sliders haha

[shut violet]

character sliders+RenoDX sliders

haha

[rustic bridge]

for that cinematic screenshot

[fading cape]

the average person cannot comprehend why a human would want to do what you do

[shut violet]

nah not really, I love testing more than playing

and yea I like editing characters

[shut violet]

for sure 😄

MH World and Nioh 2 were my comfort games

[fading cape]

yeah im curious if there will be any updates or if there's even been any development on the mod too

[rustic bridge]

according to steam, 56% players are at 1080phttps://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

[fading cape]

less than i thought considering most of that is probably laptops

[rustic bridge]

0.28% at 1280x1024 oO

are those people on crt? 😮

[zinc sapphire]

[rustic bridge]

i have nioh2 on ps5, easily 500+ hours

[zinc sapphire]

I'm hoping they are making a 3rd one at some point

[rustic bridge]

i was very lucky on farming

look at those soul cores
😄

[zinc sapphire]

nice

[umbral vale]

my favorite game of all time probably

[cloud vessel]

update is today right?

[rustic bridge]

it starts in 2 hours

better backup you save file, we never know 😄

[cloud vessel]

true...

[shut violet]

I'm glad that I'm still at the beginning of the game

I really hope that the update fixes the issues with the DLC texture pack

[cloud vessel]

seems to insinuate

WHO KNOWS

tho

[white wyvern]

Me too.

[vital falcon]

does anyone know if we should uninstall reshade in anticipation of the update?

[merry tartan]

reframework is the only thing that's likely to break

but reframework breaking means reshade breaks

[timid quail]

can't wait to see how capcom fixed all of the problems

[timid quail]

I’m uninstalling everything to be safe but also because I want to do arena quests

[thin fjord]

same

[fading cape]

what does it have to do with arena quests

[trim tangle]

Just backup?

[timid quail]

They said they are going to ban people who “cheat” in challenge quests because there’s a leaderboard and we don’t know what that includes. Could include REFramework

[coral notch]

patch is up

[thin fjord]

patching, but will test game with no mods first

[vital falcon]

very curious to see if reframework is broken

[thin fjord]

hear from people that it seems fine

[dense elbow]

yea seems fine

[frosty osprey]

ref still works fine

[merry tartan]

awesome

[coral notch]

dlc textures still seem to cause stutter. unmodded at least

god this game is ugly without mods lol

[pliant trout]

anyone elses patching game files slow af?

[frosty osprey]

soo true . my eyes can't stand this . RenoDX is a huge save

[thin fjord]

slow storage

[thin fjord]

facts

[pliant trout]

on a gen4 nvme

[thin fjord]

going to try just special k and renodx

hopefully no ban from that

[thin fjord]

weird

[pliant trout]

40-65mb a sec

wife has the same drive and is already playing

[frosty osprey]

works fine on me . SpecialK + Reno works fine on title update 1

[timid quail]

mine was crawling until i rebooted

[thin fjord]

yeah I am sure it works, I am just concerned for the arena

[thin fjord]

how much vram on your gpu?

[coral notch]

24

[thin fjord]

damn

[timid quail]

yikes

i think even if you had 128GB of VRAM it would still be broken

i'm getting way smoother frametimes with no REF or SK

HDR still ass

[coral notch]

Seemed the same to me

Not going to waste my time testing it... Installing all the mods now because I can't stand looking at the vanilla game any longer

[timid quail]

lol same. Can’t play without reno

[coral notch]

it's pretty amazing how they managed to make the game both oversharpened and blurry at the same time

the grand hub is really dark at night. my normal reno settings are crushing blacks

[mellow turret]

Did they shrink the High res texture pack size?

[coral notch]

looks like it. by 5gb

[cloud vessel]

the update patches the high res texture pack

pretty funny

[mellow turret]

Yea the main paks have additional patch files

But the high res pack file is directly patched in place

[fading cape]

I never realized how much dlss4 was helping until i reinstalled

make sure to redo dlss swapper

[merry tartan]

unless they added anti cheat I really doubt bans get dished out unless there's blatant cheating

but the abundance of caution makes sense, only reason I'm not doing that is cause...idk, I don't mind playing this solo I guess

would rather play alone offline modded than not lmaooo

[thin fjord]

I think it is for the arena mostly

[merry tartan]

is there a leaderboard?

[thin fjord]

yes

[merry tartan]

almost certainly the extent of how they're deciding

[thin fjord]

yeah, but I want to be a bit safe and do that content without mods for a bit until people test it out more

[merry tartan]

makes sense

game didn't recompile shaders after the update and stutter is all over the place, cool lol

time to delete the cache

[thin fjord]

I deleted ahead of time

[cloud vessel]

do you perhaps have another drive that is an hdd

steam likes to choose another seemingly random drive to download updates on

it chose my hdd

causing it to be slow af

just forced it to use the ssd and its much faster

https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/1748980761793517929/?ctp=2

Top comment here to force it

[fading cape]

anyone getting random black screen flashes?

i deleted cache before

usually when loading

[merry tartan]

game is running a hell of a lot worse for me

[cloud vessel]

Maybe reframework drm patch not working anymore

[vital falcon]

god I hope this isn't the case

[pliant trout]

yep it was set to my HDD even though my nvme has 300+gb free who at steam is coding like they have 2 nurons firing

[merry tartan]

moving around the world is running like some hot fucking dogshit for me now

with or without the highest textures

this happening for anyone else?

[cloud vessel]

If it didn't have enough space for the initial download then it does that

The game download

[pliant trout]

idk how with 300gb free it didnt have enough space

[cloud vessel]

Did it have 300GB when you download the game for the first time

[pliant trout]

yes

[cloud vessel]

Then idk

Steam on crack

50MB/s to 500MB/s made the install a little faster for me

Just a little

It's not a bad feature

I just wish it was more transparent

Not very clear that it does that

[coral notch]

seems to be running the same for me after i got sk and ref running

[merry tartan]

reframework update 2 hours ago, wonder if that's relevant lol

doesnt' seem to be

[fading cape]

i think it was frame gen

[merry tartan]

hm, maybe it was caused by me trying the highest textures without rebooting

works how I remember when closing and running again

[white wyvern]

No sir, game is as smooth as before. In fact, the limited set of mods I use, they are also working AFAIK. Pouch replacement mod had some issues but there is an update.

[marsh bridge]

any one randomly crash?

[rustic bridge]

shader compilation :/

[marsh bridge]

what is it

[rustic bridge]

my game is compiling shaders

it takes time

lol i got a fps boost on screen title

overall i have MORE fps

high res textures are still stuttering for my 16GB vram

i'll decompress and repack high res textures later

[thin fjord]

how much is it to decompress high res?

does it help with stutter?

[rustic bridge]

according to the author yes

my 1st mizutsune

what a beautiful monster

[rustic bridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/853

[thin fjord]

Oh the author is asteriskampersand

This is legit

[rustic bridge]

i don't read author's name 😄

[trim tangle]

Will be broken, probably? You can do it yourself with https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

[scarlet fossil]

decompressing the textures helped me run the highest dlc textures on my 4080

just dont get baited by shader comp stutter you will experience

[trim tangle]

Did you replace the compressed pak with uncompressed outright?

[scarlet fossil]

oh i ddint use this mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

used this one

[trim tangle]

I just linked it above...?

[scarlet fossil]

oh lol i clicked on the link from Amu

need my coffee

[trim tangle]

That's what I meant by replacing compressed DLC with uncompressed

[scarlet fossil]

in the comments on page 2 i followed the guide from toroidesu

[rustic bridge]

false positive?

a user comment from nexus
``This tool pretty much solved the stutters caused by the Hi Res texture pack. If you have 16 GB of VRAM or more and couldn't run the Hi Res pack due to the horrible stutters when turning the camera, I highly recommend you to try this tool out. Note that just like a lot of other people said, it will likely not improve your average fps by much, this is solely for stutters when spinning your camera.

I have my in-game camera speed set to 11. Before using this tool, I would get very noticeable stutters, like the entire game freezes for 0.2 seconds stutter, when turning the camera horizontally at full speed. After decompressing both the sub_000.pak and the Hi Res pack, my game is able to maintain a 1% low of 60+ even during the full speed camera test.

If you can't tell whether the textures applied successfully, just look at the training area item box like the other commenter mentioned, or take a look at either Hirabami or Doshaguma Switch Axe. Those two weapons I found to have very low quality textures even on High texture setting``

omg it's working!

no more stutters

gotta do some hunt to confirm

[merry tartan]

how much extra space is needed?

[rustic bridge]

107gb vs 68gb

40gb extra gb

[merry tartan]

so 173 GB total

[rustic bridge]

i have "only" 16gb and it's working well

game is also on a very fast SSD

samsung 990 pro 2TB

but any ssd compatible to direct storage will do fine

[scarlet fossil]

btw does the latest renodx still work ?

[woven fiber]

There should be an option in the decompression tool to include all files in the new pak, to make it possible to replace the original, I think?

I followed the guide in the top comment on Nexus but it's written in a kinda broken English so I'm not sure

[scarlet fossil]

when using the tool i just used true to both options and replaced the originals

also did the hardlink thing with the dlc file just to be sure

[rustic bridge]

yes it's the 2nd option

i pressed enter twice using the default options

1st option FALSE

2nd option TRUE

and let your cpu cooking the new texture pack

the uncompressed will take 107GB

just delete the old pak and rename the new

[merry tartan]

I'll have to free up space and try it

[rustic bridge]

i locked my file as read-only

[woven fiber]

Shouldn't they be both true to replace it?

[rustic bridge]

i think the first option is to repack both regular textures and high res textures into 1 file

[woven fiber]

This is the comment I was referring to, it's linked in the mod's description as well https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951?tab=posts

[rustic bridge]

not sure what does the 1st option

[woven fiber]

They're saying that you need both options to replace the file or just the second to make a "patch" file (I think)

Also I don't get what the hardlink's for

[rustic bridge]

forget the hardlink trick

i used the latest version of the tool, 0.1.3

with default options (false, true)

and it's working

[woven fiber]

I think I'm seeing low res textures on my end, I'm gonna try renaming the new pak as a patch instead of replacing the original file

[tender frost]

umm, does reframework still work fine?

I have not tried to launch the game yet 😄

[rustic bridge]

high textures

high res textures

i don't know if it's placebo but high res looks more detailed

oh i'm using fsr quality, it's upscaled 1440p to 4k

it can diminish the details

i should recapture at native 4k

[tender frost]

I dunno, the difference in between dlc vs regular high textures are not big enough (1440p here) for me to stomach stutters it is still present even with texture decompression thingie

[rustic bridge]

yeah high res is better, proof

native 4K
FSR native AA
sharpening OFF

high textures

high res textures

[woven fiber]

Some people in the comments are saying that some textures are missing (that's what the hardlink/symlink workaround should be for), I was seeing the same tbh

[rustic bridge]

since we all use upscaling (dlss, fsr) with sharpening, textures can look sharper at high

diminishing the difference between high and high res

[woven fiber]

They're using the box in the arena as an example cause it seems that it's one of those models that load a lower quality texture if it's not working correctly

[rustic bridge]

on how much vram?

maybe the engine is keeping your vram budget in check

[woven fiber]

I got 12

[rustic bridge]

you should get high res on monsters

the engine should prioritize monsters first

[woven fiber]

But yeah that's usually why I can see the textures streaming in front of me problem is, with the decompressed file alone I had textures that stayed low res indefinitely

[tender frost]

it is situational, sometimes high res dlc does look better, the problem is; not always 😄

[woven fiber]

I'm trying with the symlink in the game's root folder now, at least it won't need more space

[rustic bridge]

yes i still see low res textures in town

[woven fiber]

Also the arena should be the less taxing area in the game since it's not connected to anything else

So seeing a low res texture there would be weird (but that could be just the engine acting up)

[rustic bridge]

that's my belief, the engine is still poorly managing textures with the given vram budget

at least it doesn't stutter on high res uncompressed

[woven fiber]

Yeah that's a huge improvement at least

[rustic bridge]

my god, tempered mizu hits HARD

but the monster fight is absolutely beautiful

[tender frost]

It mitigates most of them, true; but I still notice slightly bigger stutters on some areas (Oilwell Basin specifically) compared to regular texture pack also texture streaming and objects getting their textures takes more time naturally and it makes those annoying moments longer...

I did not try it with new TU though

maybe it is improved?

It was just not worth it before, maybe I can give it a try later. Because I hate compromising texture quality when using a 4090 😄

[zinc sapphire]

ice mod

[tender frost]

I am still positively astonished by the fact that reframework is still working after TU. I don't have many mods but all of them also seem to be working. Very noice

[rustic bridge]

and it seems they optimized the engine, i have more fps!

here's my metrics before/after the update

screen title: 92, 10.87 -> 95, 10.43
tent: 72, 13.89 -> 78, 12.82
forest: 52, 19.23 -> 59, 16.95

[lunar ibex]

anyone experiencing performance issues

[rustic bridge]

the contrary for me

it's smoother, it's faster 😄

[lunar ibex]

i think i was just experiencing shader stutter

[rustic bridge]

yes you might need to force shader compilation if the game doesn't do it at start

i saw some people having this issue on steam forums

[timid quail]

I did a clean reinstall and it’s way smoother for me. No weird frame time judder without reframework

[cloud vessel]

Uncompressing the textures would probably fix the issue with stutter since the GPU no longer has to decompress anything

But it takes more disk space

And the disk needs to be fast otherwise it'll just shit the bed as well

[rocky bear]

biggest bullshit i've ever read lmao, game still maxes my 16 gbs of vram as soon as i move the camera when using the high res texture pack..this is with the updated direct storage too

[trim tangle]

Try https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

Follow this comment

[timid quail]

i'm going to try it now

[rustic bridge]

i've just decompressed the dlc (=high res) and it's flawless

[dire citrus]

Did you replace the original files? Both options true?

[rustic bridge]

yes i replaced the compressed pak by the uncompressed pak, no hardlink needed

i used the default options false/true

[dire citrus]

I've replaced everything with true/true, compiling shaders, will see how it goes.

[vital falcon]

Did you do anything differently from the mod comment screenshot above?

[rustic bridge]

yes i didn't touch the root folder

only the dlc folder for the high res textures

my game doesn't stutter with high textures

[vital falcon]

Set to highest?

[rustic bridge]

for low end pc, decompressing might be needed for regular textures

highest use high-res textures which needs to decompress the dlc folder

[vital falcon]

I'm on a 16GB 4070 ti super, so I'll probably copy you and just decompress the texture pack.

Gotta wait till I get home to try it though

[rustic bridge]

well if you use high textures and don't stutter when rotating the camera, it means you don't need to decompress the normal texture pak

[vital falcon]

my frametimes are all over the place using the highest textures setting when I rotate the camera

[rustic bridge]

it's same for everybody because of the high compression complexity

[thin fjord]

which of the two decompression tools is better?

oh one is a dependency

nvm

[timid quail]

what do u mean

[thin fjord]

just use the MHWs Tex Decompressor Tool, it's built on top of the Texture Decompression Removal one

[rustic bridge]

with reframework antitamper removal + uncompressed textures + some reshade shaders disabled, the game is becoming a more pleasant experience

[timid quail]

what's the best way to hardlink?

[rustic bridge]

the dos command

[dire citrus]

Ok, seems to be working fine, i'm not noticing texture popups and frametime spikes seem to be smoother.

I've uncompressed both DLC and base file with both patches.

With true/true and replacing original.

Now to find that transparency near camera disable mod...

[timid quail]

got it ty

why could no one just post the command for people in all the posts and the mod description itself, geezus

just in case it helps anybody:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MonsterHunterWilds
mklink /h re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_005.pak dlc\re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000.pak

[thin fjord]

heard some people also decompress the other textures and it helps for high res dlc as well

did you do that @rustic bridge ?

[timid quail]

i did both

[rustic bridge]

i tried but i did something wrong because i was missing some textures

and didn't bother because it's already smooth

[coral notch]

i did both. the thing to keep in mind for the dlc textures is that you have to do the hardlink (or copy/paste) into the main directory or you'll get random low res textures mixed in with the hd ones

[thin fjord]

so false then true when uncompressing to be able to just replace it

[coral notch]

true/true if you're replacing

false/true if you're patching

[rustic bridge]

weird because i replaced the dlc using false/true (default)

[thin fjord]

patching is too much wasted space

[coral notch]

then you're probably missing some stuff and don't notice/realize it yet

you have to do true/true if you're replacing

[timid quail]

oh whoops i did true/true but patched the regular textures

[rustic bridge]

jesus i have to redownload the dlc then

[coral notch]

false/true only replicates textures so if there's anything else inside the pak it'll no longer be there if you're replacing the original file

[rustic bridge]

which means the file will be bigger with true/true?

[coral notch]

yeah

[rustic bridge]

it's already at 100+GB

[coral notch]

yeah

[rustic bridge]

my poor ssd

[coral notch]

it's only 106 with true/true

[rustic bridge]

30% of the partition just for one game lol

[coral notch]

so not too much bigger

[timid quail]

the game looks so crisssssssp

[coral notch]

it's 102gb with false/true and 106gb with true/true. so it's missing 4gb of non-texture assets if you're replacing the original file

who knows what that 4gb actually is but better safe than sorry

[dire citrus]

Still need a hardlink even when replacing everything?

[timid quail]

my framerate is so much higher too

[rustic bridge]

that's the update to be fair 😉

yeah capcom boosted our fps

[timid quail]

no it's definitely higher even after the update

[coral notch]

for the dlc textures you need the link (or paste it into the main dir as the last patch in the folder)

[timid quail]

i think because i'm playing 4K and have a 4080 which is kinda borderline of doing 4K, removing the decompression is helping it out a lot

[coral notch]

otherwise you get random low res textures mixed in with the dlc ones

[thin fjord]

just bought an oled, hype

finally a good deal for one

[zinc sapphire]

nice

which one?

[thin fjord]

alienware 27" 4k

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F148HG5M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Prices probably will go up soon so no point in waiting

[rustic bridge]

nice, i suggest you this amazing site to test your new monitor
https://www.testufo.com/

[zinc sapphire]

nice, I also have 27"/4k/240hz/OLED

[timid quail]

i have 32"4k 240hz oled and sometimes i wish i had 27 for the better pixel density. if i scoot my chair back a foot it fixes it tho lmao

that's a damn nice monitor tho, i also have alienware

[rustic bridge]

@coral notch finally done redownloading and repacking the dlc

[rustic bridge]

buttery smooth 🙂

and I see less low res textures too with the proper texture repack

[thin fjord]

only decompressed the dlc, right?

[coral notch]

not every texture is included in the dlc so there is still some benefit to doing the normal ones as well

[rustic bridge]

yes but i'll try with the normal pak uncompressed

the new zoh shia is so epic

it gives me a lot of safijiva vibes

the scale, the music, the intensity

[coral notch]

pretty tough fight. i failed the quest twice lol

i think in the 250 hours i've played i only failed a quest once before last night

[rustic bridge]

they made him justice by giving an 8 stars difficulty

[thin fjord]

failed a bunch with heavy weapons

hard to get out of the way of his fire attacks if you move slow

[cloud vessel]

So they didn't fix the texture streaming issues

[thin fjord]

nop

[rustic bridge]

@coral notch repacked normal textures

let's give it a try

no hardlink because i replaced all .pak files

[timid quail]

First fight I feel needs evade extender

[rustic bridge]

@coral notch the fully uncompressed textures (normal & dlc) are working like a charm

you should post a full detailed guide to the author on nexus

it's really lacking clarity on how to properly use it

[foggy tide]

What are you talking about? Using uncompressed textures for better perf? How?

[rustic bridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

[shut violet]

@rustic bridge so we have to decompress "re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak" and "re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002.pak" right?

nothing else?

and the DLC ofc

[vital falcon]

The mod page does a stunningly poor job of explaining how to use it

[rustic bridge]

yes

and if you plan to use high res textures
dlc/re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000.pak

[silk sandal]

just decompress using true/true then replace the original files with decomped ones?

[rustic bridge]

yes, exactly

[silk sandal]

getting an error that the sub000 file looks corrupted

when trying to start game

I have latest reframework nightly

[rustic bridge]

check the size

[silk sandal]

its 35 gb compared to the original 21gb

[rustic bridge]

do you have the exact size as mine?

[silk sandal]

yep

[rustic bridge]

weird

you decompressed the patch 0002 too?

[silk sandal]

yep

[rustic bridge]

well it's weird

maybe retry the tool

maybe you got some corruption in the process

[coral notch]

you can't inject reframework through sk if you're using pak mods

rename reframework64.dll to dinput8.dll and it should be good

[silk sandal]

yep that fixed it

[rain sigil]

Do I need to download latest night build from reframework github?

[cloud vessel]

You don't have to but you should

[white wyvern]

I basically did this with true/true. Nothing more, nothing less. And then started the game.
What’s with hardlinking? Do you have to load the new (uncompressed) pack files somehow or the game does it on its own?

[cloud vessel]

Is all this nonsense really worth it

The whole uncompressing thing

[full mortar]

game is now crashing with the update, I got the latest REframework installed, do I need to install a new version of Special K too I assume?

[white wyvern]

Well fcuk me sideways! It actuallly works. High-res texture pack and no stutters.

High res vs normal

[cloud vessel]

I doubt sk is the problem

But you should update it anyways

Reframework works fine

[full mortar]

i fixed it by using the last version of Reframework instead of the new one lol

glad i kept the dl for that

[cloud vessel]

It's always on the GitHub anyways

[full mortar]

oh that's good

[cloud vessel]

Unless the nightlies delete themself

Possible

[full mortar]

I dunno what version I had, I didn't update it in a while tbf

because I had everything set for a bit

[cloud vessel]

Some mods need updating when reframework updates

Catlib and mods that depend on it seem to break very often

[full mortar]

seems like all the mods I have are working luckily

just like the buff glow etc

nothing crazy

[vital falcon]

Huh. I patched the large main game pak and the dlc hi res texture pak, renamed the decompressed files to match the old one, and it looks like some textures are fine, while others are randomly low res?

Did I fuck up lmao

Set both values to true when decompressing

[coral notch]

You have to copy the hd pak into the main game dir as a patch

Otherwise that happens

[timid quail]

you dont copy it you make a hardlink

[coral notch]

Or that yeah

[timid quail]

i posted the cmd up above lemme find it

[timid quail]

here

[vital falcon]

my files are named differently though

two highlighted files are decompressed

do I have to start over?

[coral notch]

No

Just need to modify what he wrote to your specific file structure

[vital falcon]

alright

and I do that in windows cmd line interface, not the tex decompressor exe?

[coral notch]

Yeah windows cmd

[wicked spindle]

do i still hardlink it as patch_005 even though I don't have 003 and 004 since I replaced those instead of patching

[coral notch]

No

You do it as 003

[wicked spindle]

k thanks

thought so

[coral notch]

This is why I didn't mention this tool more. It's pretty convoluted lol

It works well when it's set up correctly but it's easy to mess up

[vital falcon]

I feel like an idiot lmao

It's really poorly explained

[wicked spindle]

it's really not that bad, just need someone to make a straight forward video tutorial and it would clear up a lot of the confusion i think

[vital falcon]

I'm still not sure what I should rename these files to

fixed the file location line though

[coral notch]

It needs to be 003 in your case not 005

[vital falcon]

and that's the only change? changing 005 to 003?

[coral notch]

I believe so

[timid quail]

you're still in the users\kobold directory, need to paste that first line first

[vital falcon]

huh, interesting

I may have misspelled the directory location

hm, copy/pasting the path still leaves me in the main directory

and yes I know you have to put cd first

[wicked spindle]

i keep getting hit with this error.... hmmm

[coral notch]

Might need powershell and not cmd? Not sure. I haven't messed with this personally. I just copy paste the file because I have a ton of drive space.

[vital falcon]

looks like you were right

I didn't have permission to enter that drive

Getting the same error as Towa now

[coral notch]

Using powershell?

[vital falcon]

yes

[wicked spindle]

i was using powershell yes

[coral notch]

No idea then

[vital falcon]

ah, you can't run it from powershell

you have to run cmd in admin mode

looks like the command you're looking for is "/d"

so cd /d "drive and path"

While running cmd as admin

although it's still not working right for me, ffs

nvm I got it

that was like pulling teeth

ok so the patch file this generated is now 111gb ON TOP of the 111gb uncompressed file in the dlc folder

do I need both, or can I delete the file in the dlc folder now?

@coral notch (this is my last question I swear)

[coral notch]

You need both

But it's not actually taking that space if it's a hard link

That's the advantage. Otherwise you could have just copied pasted it and avoided that whole headache lol

[vital falcon]

ahhhhh okay

If this is what the training room box is supposed to look like with the highest res texture pack enabled, then we're good here

[wicked spindle]

this worked for me too, cheers

[vital falcon]

file interface is saying mh wilds is taking up 295gb of space lmao

[cloud vessel]

Enjoy doing that every time they do a slight texture update

[lunar pewter]

Hi !
Is anyone having major performance problems since TU1 ?
Game was running fine before, now Reshade stutters all the time, I can see it being on then off then on in quick successions, game freezes for a full second on texture load … Have you had to do a shader recompile after updating ?
Also, HDR is completely broken, with or without RenoDX, worked perfectly yesterday 👀

[trim tangle]

The game apparently goes funny with missing and low-res textures if you don't hardlink the DLC as a patch in the root folder

[trim tangle]

Yes ~ the game stutters like mad when moving the camera because of fucked up decompression

[cloud vessel]

Yea but ur gonna have to do it again every time textures get updated

Unless the tool can only uncompress the modified or changed ones

[trim tangle]

Might be worth reserving space for backing up the compressed high-res texture pack, then. We'll see...

[mossy shoal]

delete the old shader cache, let the game compile new ones.

[cloud vessel]

It's only the dlc texture pack that causes insane stutters

At least for me

[cloud vessel]

If you've deleted the original pak it's gonna have to redownload everything the next time it's changed

Not sure how often that's gonna happen

[trim tangle]

Yeah, many have reported this. Decompressing makes it go away, because the game just stutter-struggles to decompress on the fly. It's so stupid.

[trim tangle]

Yeah :(

[cloud vessel]

How much larger is the texture pack anyways

Uncompressed

[trim tangle]

~70GB to ~106GB

It's not the worst thing in the world, if you seek to replace the file... but if you want to backup the original, hope you have the drive space...

[cloud vessel]

Yea

Does it take long to uncompress

I might try it for fun

[trim tangle]

~5 minutes on an NVMe? Frankly, it depends on how fast your drive is. Mine didn't take long at all, happily.

[mossy swallow]

Monster Hunter Status (@MHStatusUpdates) on X

We have confirmed that players may encounter issues with the Steam version of Monster Hunter Wilds if the High Resolution Texture Pack is installed with insufficient VRAM, even if other texture options are selected in-game.

If you're experiencing issues, try disabling the High

X · Apr 5, 2025, 3:57 AM

[cloud vessel]

Damn minimum 16

Insano

[trim tangle]

Wat

So, you can have it installed, being using high, and you'll get stutters just from having it present? WTF

[trim tangle]

You can probably save more space by just replacing the two base files, as they'll probably never be altered, hopefully

[cloud vessel]

they do

well

depends if capcom takes the add more paks route

or add files to the paks

whenever they add new textures

[white wyvern]

Yea, I figured that out after closely reading the comment on the mod page.
It’s working perfectly fine now.

[arctic plank]

if i've got reshade installed my game just straight up doesn't work anymore, black screen

[cloud vessel]

i think reshade dies in this game if reframework isnt installed

[arctic plank]

i've been launching the game via SK and loading reframework through SK as well

[cloud vessel]

reframework has issues when loaded through sk

although it should only be pak mods dont work

so idk

[rustic bridge]

they added a pak for this update

pretty sure mizutsune is in that extra pak

[rustic bridge]

new layer set 🙂

[shut violet]

unpacking the files are suprisingly fast lol

I though that it's going to take like 30 minutes

but it only took like ~1-2 minutes

[rustic bridge]

yeah the tool is multithreaded properly

[shut violet]

ok it's time to test

[sonic mesa]

Hello, juste a question... With all the talk about the ladder ban and everything, I'm a bit worried about REFramework and RenDX (the only things I need). Are they safe? Because if not, it kills my motivation to play.

[shut violet]

Capcom only bans people that were reported by other people afaik

and World was FULL of cheaters

the whole ladder

I don't think that they are banning reshade/ref users

[sonic mesa]

I have tried to play without renoDX but if you taste it... i can play witouth haha
I want to play legit but i cannot stand the flashbang at every transition in HDR without Reno...

[shut violet]

there is an always online "sanity" check running which means if you actually cheat damage numbers etc, then they can technically ban you

[mental fern]

I'd love a video tutorial on how to " decompress textures for dummies "

English isn't my main language and the update apparently made things trickier

[shut violet]

@rustic bridge The DLC texture pack is only using around 10gb vram? Is that normal now? With the decompressed files

I see no missing/low res textures

[rustic bridge]

do you have a hud toggle?

[shut violet]

I use SK to measure the VRAM usage

[rustic bridge]

i check in real time high/high res textures with hud off

it's reloaded in real time

[shut violet]

yes me too

[rustic bridge]

vram usage should be tied to your vram budget

[shut violet]

the difference between high and dlc is around 400mb lol

[rustic bridge]

same 😮

[shut violet]

in the desert area at least

[rustic bridge]

i think not all textures have high res version

[shut violet]

yea probably

there are still a lot of low res assests like NPC clothes

[rustic bridge]

i have a mixing of low/high res

[shut violet]

but no more stuttering yay

the frametime graph is a flat line now with the DLC textures

[rustic bridge]

i did a comparison yesterday on arveld

without sharpening neither upscaling

high res is more detailed than high

[mental fern]

does uncompressing texture could help on a 8gb vram card?

[rustic bridge]

thing is we all use upscalers with sharpening which diminish the difference

[shut violet]

yes especially if the GPU is weaker

[rustic bridge]

so people with low vram budget should use high

[shut violet]

true

[rustic bridge]

honestly just use high textures at best

[mental fern]

So i'll use high textures like before but with decompressed from the dlc?

[shut violet]

no need to decompress the DLC texure pack if you are not using it

[rustic bridge]

you can decompress the normal textures pack for less stutters

[mental fern]

yeah that's the thing I was wondering

Since I've to frame gen mod with my sad 3070

[rustic bridge]

it can help if your ssd or cpu is a bit lacking

[mental fern]

5700x3d and an old NVMe drive

[rustic bridge]

well you should not stutter then

[shut violet]

yea, it takes only a minute to decompress the files, you can test it

[rustic bridge]

medium/high textures should be pretty smooth on your pc

[mental fern]

it's a sn750

[shut violet]

thats actually not a bad drive

[mental fern]

i'm alraedy using the high preset from base game

[rustic bridge]

is that direct storage compatible?

[mental fern]

yup upgraded the dll as well

swapped to preset J for less ghosting,

[mental fern]

do you still have to do the symlink etc like i saw in the comments on nexus?

[shut violet]

it's pcie 3.0 so yea

[rustic bridge]

should not if you're not missing textures

[mental fern]

is there an updated step by step guide somewhere?

[shut violet]

you just have to replace the original files with the decompressed files

and it should work fine

[mental fern]

from the nexus download ? the 17gb file?

[rustic bridge]

use true/true

[mental fern]

I'll check :)

[rustic bridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

[mental fern]

i came here to grab the newest reno release but will gladly take less stutters

speed

and once this is done I just can play the game ? used true/true like said

[rustic bridge]

yes

rename old pack like .old

and rename the uncompressed

[mental fern]

ooh

like so

[rustic bridge]

yes, do the same on that patch 002

it has textures too

[mental fern]

so i target this file with tool

[rustic bridge]

yes

[mental fern]

with true tue and rename it

gotcha

[rustic bridge]

yes

[mental fern]

pak.sub or pak.patch?

re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002 this one i mean

[rustic bridge]

re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002

[mental fern]

gotcha

and that should be good

[rustic bridge]

looks good

[mental fern]

will check now, though don't have any frametime graph so can't check

[rustic bridge]

your eyes can't lie

rotate that camera

[mental fern]

what game brightness do I use for renohdr ?

I've peak brightness of 1000 nits on my oled

this is what it shows

my fps seems broken, i don't remember having such "low" fps on base camp

[rustic bridge]

your tone mapping sliders are good

just adjust color grading to your taste

[mental fern]

oh weird

i just checked what sekka had to trade

instant crash

[zinc sapphire]

I need a refresher:
a) SK still works?
b) REF still works?
c) RenoDX still works?

do I need any updates for any of these?

Also can someone link me a howto for the decompression of textures? (I use the DLC textures too)
There is so much info out, and many are different lol

[rustic bridge]

yes, yes, yes

for the decompression, use the tool for the 3 following files with true/true options
re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002.pak dlc\re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000.pak

rename original files for backup
rename the uncompressed as a replacement

[zinc sapphire]

this was the tool? https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/951

[rustic bridge]

yes

[zinc sapphire]

@rustic bridge why do they mention more files here?

so confusing

oh it is the same

I just misunderstood lol

well kinda the same

[zinc sapphire]

slight error: dlc\re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000 should be dlc\re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000.pak I assume

[rustic bridge]

yes

I used F2 to copy/paste the name, I forgot to add the extension

[zinc sapphire]

fine like this?

I did rename the uncompressed files, was that correct?

I guess I also need to rename the orginal files to something else

fine like that? 🐸

[rustic bridge]

rename original files with .old extentsion for instance

then rename the uncompressed as the original

[zinc sapphire]

as the original oh...

[rustic bridge]

there are 2 methods, replacing originals or patching

i'm replacing

[zinc sapphire]

I guess I'm doing patching

will try to start now and see what happens I guess 🐸

[rustic bridge]

replacing cost less disk space

[zinc sapphire]

yeah it is 275GB now haha

[rustic bridge]

i also deleted old packs lol

[zinc sapphire]

will try first

[rustic bridge]

i don't mind, i have 2Gbps fiber connection

[zinc sapphire]

my internet speed is more of an issue than disk space

yeah I got 100Mbit lol

[rustic bridge]

ouch i feel you

i was using adsl for a decade

here in france we're lucky

[zinc sapphire]

fun

I guess my addon doens't work anymore

"my addon"

ok just get a blackscreen even w/o it

I guess I fucked something up

with the paks

[rustic bridge]

why is you patch 002 so big nvm it's same size as mine

your patch 002 is named .bak

remove that extension

[zinc sapphire]

I will just rename the uncompressed to the old names

probably easier

lol

I guess I'm gonna start afain

[rustic bridge]

you're using SK?

[zinc sapphire]

yes

[rustic bridge]

that's why

[zinc sapphire]

...

[rustic bridge]

@coral notch need some assistance

[zinc sapphire]

you said it is fine before

anyway renamed back to normal and doing

as a sanity check

[rustic bridge]

iorek said something about sk not working with pak mods

[zinc sapphire]

well I'm not patching fwiw, I renamed uncompressed to og names

at least at the end

[rustic bridge]

search iorek post history

he gave the solution last night

[zinc sapphire]

ok

you can't inject reframework through sk if you're using pak mods

ahhhh

rename reframework64.dll to dinput8.dll and it should be good

gg

I remember Kal said that too

if you mess with textures it needs to use the normal name

I just forgot that

thanks Amu

[rustic bridge]

yw

[trim tangle]

You're hardlinking the DLC pak, right? 🐸

[zinc sapphire]

I messed it up from the start

I was REPLACING True/True but then tried patching way lol

I'm just replacing now

fuck this noise

[trim tangle]

I decided it was simpler to just replace the originals.

[zinc sapphire]

yeah

doing that now

[trim tangle]

I should have backed up the DLC pak, though... but I deleted it 😅

[zinc sapphire]

hehe I have backup

ok done now to test

wow

I can spin the camera with the highest textures and keep 60fps

VRAM ~10GB

wtf

it used to go over 16

[dire citrus]

Feels good to kill something after failing 3 times, instead of steamrolling it.

[zinc sapphire]

I will r estart

I don't trust it lol

this is crazy

I'm spinning in a circle and 10GB VRAM usage

it used to go so crazy

how can I check that it is actually working?

this feels too good to be true lmao

people say look at t he training box?

does it look like highest textures?

ok it is working because this grass looks like ass on high textures

now it looks "ok"

[rustic bridge]

keep in mind you're using upscaling + sharpening

that falses the end result

[zinc sapphire]

yeah

[rustic bridge]

to make a real comparison between high and high res, you want to be at native resolution without sharpening

[zinc sapphire]

happy I can use them now

wild how much less VRAM is used now

anyway now I need to get lens distort working again

game looks so much worse w/o it

ok mod still works just fine

the issue was probably because of my earlier error, all good

[rustic bridge]

i'm using the mod "tweak volumetric fog" since yesterday

it's amazing

default ambient light

tweaked at 0.8 strength

ambient light off

[zinc sapphire]

using default renodx preset

vanilla+

oh I think I used the wrong hotkey w/e

[trim tangle]

Steamrolling it is okay if you're farming for those materials that just won't frickin drop

I've heard complaints from some that they get all the materials they need from one or two hunts. Bullshit.

Definitely not enough if you want an entire set of armour or weapon upgrades

[trim tangle]

How have you found Mizutsune to be? I found the fight pretty nice ~ it was fast-paced

[zinc sapphire]

easy yes, but very cool

beautiful as always

especially if enraged

the real challenge are tempered or better arch tempered anyway

and of course master rank in the expansion

[trim tangle]

How do you get tempered to spawn? I'm already at HR 70. :|

[rustic bridge]

it's random spawn on your map

just open your map and check if tempered mizu is in any area

[zinc sapphire]

or play online

can look for it

[trim tangle]

Bah, I was afraid of this. Time to randomly wait, I guess. Wonder if there are spawn conditions...

[fallen karma]

I swear the performance has gotten worse in TU1

[vital falcon]

yea, been using this mod since it came out and it's wild how much of a difference it makes

Helps with the fog weirdness when using dlss 4

[vital falcon]

the VRR flickering is driving me insane

I've got the game locked at 90fps with framegen (if I try to lock at 60 without it flickers even harder for some reason) and it's just super distracting sometimes

[shut violet]

if you want to turn the forest or other foggy areas darker then you have to use this mod imo, adjusting shadow/contrast crushes other regions

[vital falcon]

hm, weird. The VRR flicker seems to have been related to using my monitor's fake HDR setting (because HDR on this thing isn't very good)

switching back to one of the gaming settings fixed it

sad, because the colors really popped on that setting

[shut violet]

If anyone wants to use a vanilla like preset with correct colors, cutscenes, brightness, then my last preset works really well imo:

[vital falcon]

Not a fan of the Vanilla+ setting?

[zinc sapphire]

vignette needs to be 0! I have no idea why you guys like that shit lol

[shut violet]

not really, it's crushing details and it's oversaturated + cutscenes look wrong

[shut violet]

in-game vignette is turned off

[zinc sapphire]

games where you can't turn it off are so bad, thankfully Capcom allows us that in most of their games (and REF can do it too)

[zinc sapphire]

ok good

[shut violet]

I like mild vignetting because it softens the transition from pitch blackness, my room

[zinc sapphire]

I want to see more

but I also play at 27"

[shut violet]

55" here

[vital falcon]

yknow, I've never thought of it that way, but with an edge lit display, some mild vignetting might not hurt

[zinc sapphire]

fair

[vital falcon]

I'm on a 27" 1440p display though

[zinc sapphire]

27/4k/OLED

[shut violet]

Vanilla / Vanilla+ / My preset / Filmic

Same but HDR:

[west remnant]

I love the mod so far, but sometimes there are places that feel too yellow

this scene, however, looks gorgeous with the same reshade setting

[pliant trout]

anyone else have a performance regression with reno installed? even deleting and redoing shader cache the performance without the mod is way higher grand hub i get barely 60fps and without the mod im 140+

that only gets worse when fights are going on

[zinc sapphire]

renodx does effect framerate

[pliant trout]

but that much?

[zinc sapphire]

but from 140 to 60 sounds very wrong

[pliant trout]

on a 9070xt

[zinc sapphire]

sounds more like framegen is not on when you get 60fps

and framegen is on when you get 140+

[pliant trout]

yea basically

[shut violet]

you are not getting 140+ when you can only get 60 without framegen tho

[pliant trout]

thats frame gen on

[zinc sapphire]

it does sound odd

[pliant trout]

in both scenarios

[zinc sapphire]

140 with 2x framegen even sounds nearly impossible

for this game

[shut violet]

60 without framegen translates to 100-110 with framegen

[pliant trout]

🤷‍♂️ hub im getting 155 right now but with the mod this same area is 60-70 but feels like its framgen from like 30fps

[zinc sapphire]

🐸

[shut violet]

try using SK

it fixes issues with reflex/framegen

[rustic bridge]

i love this game, the diva chanting is so good

[pliant trout]

switching fsr3 quality to native AA from quality with fsr4 toggle fixes the weird fps dips and spikes 🤷‍♂️ who knows

[coral notch]

definitely not normal

[zinc sapphire]

this MF got me sweating in HR lol

[thin fjord]

The fireball range is crazy

[zinc sapphire]

yeah lol

actually took some time

[thin fjord]

Feel like I need evade extender for some weapons

[zinc sapphire]

not like 3-5min like all monsters

damn the CB from it looks sick

wow the armor set is crazy too

hunter notes are good now

no need to go to kiranico or w/e

[shut violet]

the fire is too orange

[rustic bridge]

yes that's how the game is :/

i can maybe use a color shifter shader

[zinc sapphire]

how much RCAS do you guys use for e.g. 4k?

0/50/100

ignore wrong tonemapping (windows snipping tool)

looks like you need at least 50

[rustic bridge]

don't push over 50

it would make the image too noisy and make some ringing apparent

[zinc sapphire]

I'm running with 50 right now

[rustic bridge]

above 50 you should start seeing haloing edges

[zinc sapphire]

proper screenshot

[rustic bridge]

yeah oversharpened 😛

i played elden ring at native 4k, no taa for days

[zinc sapphire]

yeah I agree

[rustic bridge]

i was shocked how games tend to overprocess

[zinc sapphire]

here you can see it well

let me try 25 or so

[rustic bridge]

rcas is here to bring back some details lost in the TAA process

[zinc sapphire]

25

I use DLSS balanced at 4k fwiw

[rustic bridge]

4k means you have some room for sharpening

as the rendering resolution is higher

even 25 looks strong to me

maybe i'm too sensitive after playing elden ring

i'm not used to sharpening

[zinc sapphire]

some textures seem to have more sharpness by default than others

I don't know lol

[rustic bridge]

ingame cas at 0.3

if i go higher, it's noisier and i can spot some ringing at times

[zinc sapphire]

grand hub is very nice

[thin fjord]

man the AO in this game makes me want to cry

[vital falcon]

quality is all over the place

[torpid moon]

I don't seem to have all those settings. Is that because I'm using SDR?

[shut violet]

it depends on the DLSS preset too, but I use 20

[zinc sapphire]

DLSS balanced

quality can't hold 60 on 5080

shipping dlss with default preset

[shut violet]

not all settings are available in SDR I think

[shut violet]

my 4080 can hold 60 except in very chaotic fights, it drops to 55, but it's not really that noticeable

[zinc sapphire]

I want to not drop

I want to hold 60fps

small image quality hit is worth it to me

after all... 4k @ 27"

you don't notice dlss balanced that much there

[shut violet]

yea true

it does not look that great on 55" tho

preset K performance preset is fine but it's still kinda broken

I mean preset K

[zinc sapphire]

yeah I'm sad that I can't use DLSS4 (Preset K)

[shut violet]

I'm fine with 55-60 fps as long as the frametime is smooth

[zinc sapphire]

went with 25 RCAS in the end

I think that is not too much

[shut violet]

yea 20-30 is fine

you can use even more with the balanced preset

[zinc sapphire]

the hub is so cool

(with 25 RCAS)

[shut violet]

I'm still HR lvl 3 haha

[zinc sapphire]

lol

I'm 140~ 🐸

like some textures/geometry is so high level

like in this image

and than you have some that look like ps2 haha

[shut violet]

this looks weirdly wrong cant exactly tell you why, but does not look pleasing 🤔 the saturation and brightness maybe

[zinc sapphire]

that is vanilla+

🐸

[shut violet]

if it is vanilla + then yea

contrast and saturation

[zinc sapphire]

this is filmic

[shut violet]

much better, but I'm not a fan of the default filmic preset either haha

[zinc sapphire]

what are your settings?

mind posting again?

[shut violet]

#1347155473266114580 message this is my vanilla + take very close to the actual vanilla game look

I still have to work on the fixed exp preset

[zinc sapphire]

does it matter if my game/ui brightness is 203 or w/e

and peak 1030~

would these settings still work?

[shut violet]

probably yea

those values depend on your screen

[zinc sapphire]

these ps2 assets tho (ignore snipping tool hdr/sdr issues)

[shut violet]

yea NPC clothing looks horrible

the dlc texture pack does not help either

I'm experimenting with these fixed exp settings atm:

but it's far from final

[zinc sapphire]

btw the settings that you linked earlier I tried just now and in the night it is way too bright

[thin fjord]

Maybe someone figures out how to fix the exposure issues with dlss 4

[shut violet]

yes it's bright on purpose that's how the game is "meant to be" unfortunately

if you want bright days to look correct, you have to sacrifice dark nights :/

vanilla+/mpaul settings

vignette 0 rcas 25

[shut violet]

fog removal helps

[shut violet]

this is fixed exp btw

the tent

[zinc sapphire]

these settings

ah that is what you meant

[shut violet]

but yea the daker vanilla+ looks "better" but it's crushing details

[zinc sapphire]

sadly true

[shut violet]

it's bright outside right?

I mean outside the tent

[zinc sapphire]

in Q

can't talk :D

[shut violet]

😄

the tent is full of fog too btw

that bright hazyness is fog

and vanilla+ is trying to "fix" it by adjusting contrast/shadows

[coral notch]

That's pretty close to what I've been using

1.35 exp, 42 highlights, 58 contrast, 52 saturation is the only diff

@coral notch something is wrong with my game, i never use the DLC textures

i was suspecting my game using only high textures and the resource monitor confirms it

am i vram limited and that's why the game never load the dlc pack?

If you have the DLC installed, and the file is named correctly, it will use it
