✅Luma: Heavy Rain

[compact wind]

HDR + Ultrawide mod

[compact wind]

it should be playable now, beside some occasional NaNs, if anybody wants to test it around, they are velcomm

[still moss]

Changelog

[compact wind]

• mod done

just, needs feedback atm

[still moss]

installing

[compact wind]

Yeah, do that 😂

[still moss]

during gameplay it was shown as black, but when played video showing green.

[compact wind]

interesting

yeah the shows go nan

other scenes seem fine.

i'll fix it

[cloud meteor]

Only tested the intro but all seems to be working good on the GOG version on Linux

Perhaps of note, I find that when I replace the GOG executable with the Epic game store executable as per PCGamingwiki controller support fix, the UI paper white slider seems to control the whole image and none of the other sliders affect the image.

[compact wind]

Gog is on a newer version?

[cloud meteor]

Im not to sure. Interestingly the GOG version has a steamapi.dll so it might just be the steam version with an emulator haha. Apparently the EGS verion doesn't have this file (It used to have Denuvo but got removed so is now DRM free too) so might be a different build.

[still moss]

I have steam version

[compact wind]

Me too.

[compact wind]

Gog games are Steam builds cracked by the gog team most of the times.

[compact wind]

non graded vs graded.
This game is a marvel.

Vanilla SDR vs Luma SDR

One last for the non UW crowd

I've fixed all NaNs and problems.

There's many tonemappers but I found a good bunch, possibly all.

[compact wind]

shaders are hardcoded by scene

[compact wind]

that's a big crowd for PS3

is this enough fov?

right...

so heavy rain video decoding was also BT.601

[compact wind]

SDR vs HDR

[compact wind]

mod is complete. Will ship tomorrow or so.

I will need somebody to play through the entire game with a test build, to dump all the shaders.

I might have missed a tonemapper.

[trim sphinx]

i'll do it

[compact wind]

It's not in yet.

[compact wind]

You will need to use a test build.

Use the default settings ideally. And check if shaders get dumped to the Luma folder.

The take screenshots and notes of anything off you might see

It's a job!

[trim sphinx]

i've not played it before but it's in my library

[indigo nymph]

https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-killer-bundle currently very cheap here (~1$ if you buy 5 games for ~5$), dunno if it makes sense to post here, feel free to delete

I am the king of cringe

[compact wind]

https://github.com/Filoppi/Luma-Framework/releases/tag/latest-109 go get it

[compact wind]

i've updated the SDR half screen comparison to quantize to 8bit for the SDR part

full accuracy

[compact wind]

try the Epic version without any changes if u can, I don't own it. Could be it has different shaders.

[cloud meteor]

Yea I think the shaders must be different, even uses a different save path. GOG version works great with Luma but no controller support. Steam only $1 on Fanatical ATM so might just pick it up again haha

[compact wind]

I think it's becasue the Steam version might have used Steam input?

[compact wind]

can u download the test build, get to the main menu

and leave the game

then send me the shader dump folder

Luma\Heavy Rain\Dump

[cloud meteor]

Here ya go, I did load up the first level so let me know if you want me to redo and just the main menu

[compact wind]

ok yeah, some shaders are different

[compact wind]

most shaders are the same

i think the epic version is older.

[still moss]

i am getting this issue during cutscene, maybe not luma related

i am using this, because resolution was not properly applied

disabled game vsync through ini and applied through nvidia

[compact wind]

are you on multimonitor or something?

is the game resolution set the same as the monitor resolution?

[still moss]

Laptop

[compact wind]

ok yeah i flipped the UW correction aspect ratio

[compact wind]

puhsed a fix, should be built within 5m

[compact wind]

r u playing with AA disabled?

[still moss]

No, everything max

[still moss]

Only showing in recorded video, not in actual gameplay.

[compact wind]

wtf? no green shoes during gameplay?

cuz indeed i have fixed that.

it might happen less with FXAA

[still moss]

Is it negative nits ?

[compact wind]

it was NaNs, but I cleared it up.

[compact wind]

try to record with other apps

it's probably an invalid scRGB luminance value.

[still moss]

i will try desktop capture rather than game capture

[compact wind]

@cloud meteor @still moss how much did u play?

[still moss]

Just chapter 1

[severe sequoia]

🚧Luma: Heavy Rain

[compact wind]

:check Luma: Heavy Rain

✅Luma: Heavy Rain

[cloud meteor]

Just chapter 1 so far also

[still moss]

[trim sphinx]

Does a ✅ mean the mod is done?

[trim sphinx]

does this mod fix the above 60fps issues?
"Can be unlocked via config but there's collision problems with characters movement."

[compact wind]

I literally wrote that lol

I noticed characters fail to climb up small steps at 120fps

[trim sphinx]

so... no? 🙂

[compact wind]

i didn't touch that

[trim sphinx]

i didn't notice you wrote it haha

[compact wind]

i'd play at 120Hz and write down the problems

it's probably ok for the most part

but obviously untested by devs

I bet 60Hz is a bit broken too

og code was 30Hz

coders have no regards for variable frame rate

Source: i've seen it

so I never trust it

that's why I don't play games on release

[trim sphinx]

the game is pretty old to be fair 🙂

[compact wind]

I know how muchb is unfinished.

[trim sphinx]

yeah i rarely play at launch these days too

[compact wind]

smart

[still moss]

game freezes at this point
happens only if play this chapter from beginning, not happens if checkpoint loaded

tried three times

[compact wind]

without the mod?

[still moss]

i will try later

[still moss]

did not crash without luma

[compact wind]

damn

how far in the chapter is that? i can try

[still moss]

chapter 1

5 minutes

[still moss]

[compact wind]

i was able to reproduce.

bug.

[compact wind]

it's fixed

[trim sphinx]

shaun!!

[still moss]

crash has been fixed but, this came again

[compact wind]

fixed

5m

[compact wind]

who doesn't love a game that begins with the main character smelling his ass finger

[still moss]

@compact wind

[compact wind]

I'm lost. They work on my pc. I have no idea... I'll wait for reshade 6.6 to drop before checking again.
Did you download the latest version?

[still moss]

yes

maybe your setting is configured for ultrawide

[compact wind]

Just delete the UI_Video... hlsl file in the Luma heavy rain folder.

It won't change videos anymore.

[still moss]

Will still look correct in hdr right ?

[compact wind]

maybe no AutoHDR

[compact wind]

use this version then. lemme know if it's fixed.

if it's not, try to toggle between borderless and Fullscreen once after boot.

[still moss]

It's working

[compact wind]

did u mod the video files?

[still moss]

Just luma

[compact wind]

can u try this version and let me know if it works too?

if it works, then I know what's wrong.

you are on 16:9 display right?

[still moss]

yes, actually 16:10, but changed windows resolution to 1440p

[still moss]

It's working

[compact wind]

that makes no sense...................................

the in game resolution is set that what exactly?

[still moss]

2560x1440

[compact wind]

Videos should finally be fixed.... I understand what was broken. No need for the custom file anymore.

[compact wind]

blue->purple clipping?

[still moss]

Light looks intense

[compact wind]

u can lower bloom

[compact wind]

HDR vs SDR

[still moss]

bloom is applied on lots of objects in this level, even cop golden strip emiting bloom, and bridge pillar. complete 0 bloom is only working.
can you check this level

[compact wind]

I will soon play the whole game and make some tweaks.

[compact wind]

made some tweaks to bloom I think, not sure if I actually changed anything, but it didn't seem so bad to me.

yes it's strong

but u have the slider.

send a video if it's still bad.

[compact wind]

r u sure it didn't pretty much look like that in Vanilla?

bloom was strong in PS3 days

[still moss]

still dosen't feel right, manually bloom could be changed, but will hard to know on levels that are subtle

[compact wind]

game crashed on this. pretty nice.

[compact wind]

i don't have that

@trim sphinx do u have that problem?

[still moss]

What is your bloom setting ?

[compact wind]

100%

[still moss]

But why, it's happening

[compact wind]

Clean the Luma folder and reshade settings. Dunno.

[still moss]

Already tried

[compact wind]

Ok. I'll have a new version out soon

[compact wind]

300% realism

[languid void]

[trim sphinx]

What section of the game

[still moss]

Chapter 3 - Crime Scene

[trim sphinx]

I think I went past that, don’t remember seeing this issue

[compact wind]

It seems like the game's lighting broke in some update, or maybe in the PC version.

In Luma it looks more like the right.

That's the same exact scene on pc.

But skin is sometimes red with Luma. Only sometimes... Dunno why. Need fix.

[compact wind]

yeah indeed bloom is borked there.

i have a fix that should tackle all potential shaders at the same time

with pattern scanning by live patching shaders.

[compact wind]

only after you talk to the investigator guy, some stuff becomes glowing for a few minutes.

[languid void]

[compact wind]

it looks like that in Vanilla SDR too btw.

in HDR bloom gets stronger.

I can't do anything about it.

the material had bloom hardcoded to 100%

i've lowered it to 80%.

[compact wind]

ok. mod is done.

fixed all the glitches.

[languid void]

[compact wind]

*not submitted yet

[compact wind]

pushed update. @still moss u are all good.

[languid void]

LESGOO

[languid void]

cant wait to play this

does it have dlss modded in as well or "just" hdr ultrawide

[compact wind]

no dlss. not neeeded

[languid void]

well, dlss maybe not but DLAA heh

transformer DLAA just too clean

[hardy pawn]

Oh nice, my favorite Shaun simulator. Thanks for working on this king

[compact wind]

latest publishing build (in other words, for final users), but with debugging information attached, in case anybody wanted to test the game, scouting for crashes etc.

[still moss]

where is luma folder ?

[compact wind]

use the one from github

and the latest reshade (reshade is currently not being auto built inside luma packages on github anymore, there's an error with reshade)

[still moss]

played full game, no crashes, but lots of freezes.

[compact wind]

Stutters?

[compact wind]

Did you ever notice weird tints in skin?

[still moss]

No, but I was too focused on finishing the game, I am uploading it now, no stutters, game literally freezes on various points, during chapter loading or some scenes, but freezing always occur at same places, so it's not random, no freezing encountered during first several chapters.

Freezing literally added 1 hr of additional gameplay

[compact wind]

What?

I don't understand 😅

You had to restart?

[still moss]

no, scenes just freeze for some seconds like 10 or 20 seconds, and unfreeze itself, finished game on single gameplay, just needed to reload some chapters, because of choices. some later chapter loading taking atleast 3 minutes (blank screen) or something.

[trim sphinx]

didnt have that here, just stutters like shader compilation but maybe it was something else

[still moss]

first freeze happens, when Norman was shown his office.

same place happened twice in two different gameplay

[compact wind]

Freeze Police!

[still moss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6LHT5TEBuo

[compact wind]

so the hangs are in the video?

time stamps?

[still moss]

Yes

Some scenes i have cropped will be later processed by YouTube, just some repeated levels

[compact wind]

any opinions on the HDR in general?

[still moss]

HDR is great, but visually I need to check on my tv, which don't has access to internet yet.

[trim sphinx]

thought it was pretty decent other than the overpowering whites of the club scene

[compact wind]

yeah the weird thing is that they don't emit light

so it's like a 700 nits light next to pitch black

but tbh, beside how realistic it is, I thought the scene looked gr8

[trim sphinx]

i was too distracted by white whenever it was in the shot, 1000nit oled here

[compact wind]

guess you are not a clubbing person!

[compact wind]

does the hang happen every time you are shown the office as norman?

[still moss]

Yes

[compact wind]

did it happen with the old builds too last time u played?

[still moss]

Never reached that point of game

[compact wind]

i can see the red skin is fixed

it might have been my S95F doing weird stuff

[compact wind]

Some Vanilla vs Luma comparisons

Both SDR but fixed ugly film grain

[languid void]

yeah that default grain looks quite obnoxious

good stuff

[native galleon]

"Some of the shader files are missing from the "Luma"- folder, or failed to compile for some unknown reason, please re-install the mod.". Using newest version of Reshade and copying the luma file to the games main directory.

Nevermind, my bad, seems like you need more than just the addon file with Luma, downloaded them through Github.

[native galleon]

Latest addon shared here doesnt work for some reason for me.

The older one does.

[still moss]

You need luma folder, addon and reshade dxgi.dll with addon support in installation directory

https://github.com/Filoppi/Luma-Framework/releases/download/latest-281/Luma-Heavy_Rain.zip

[native galleon]

Alright I used some old link, that newest release link works. I assume the addon there is the latest one.

But it works, if I keep the original addon in.
