Luma/RenoDX: Dying Light 2

[viral gust]

Upcoming

[round mauve]

it is happening

[viral gust]

Dying Light 2 and Dishonored 2 were always my biggest targets

i let them wait for a long time

[viral gust]

does the game run like shit in DX11 mode?

[round mauve]

it has slightly less perf compared to DX12

and ofc no RT/FG

Not sure if you saw the discussion around E3 Definitive mod

Miru is a dev for the project

they use a earlier downgraded version of DL2

so I was wondering what the logistics of HDR support for that would be?

[viral gust]

really?

@deep tangle i'd imagine the tonemap/post process shaders are mostly the same?

[round mauve]

previously they only supported DX11 but Miru helped to port shaders to make DX12 work with the mod as well + RT

Project isnt fully out yet but they do have a beta 1 with a beta 2 out soonTM

1.12.1

[fervent swan]

isn't there reno available for dl2 already? or did it just stay in a very early state?

[round mauve]

wasnt finished

due to DX12 problems

this was last year

They have been solved since then

[fervent swan]

ahh

[wanton condor]

ig I'll install dl2...

[round mauve]

what version are the .sl files?

If i cant get my MFGslop working, I will be sad

[wanton condor]

out of curiousity how would luma handle dx11on12?

the game's dx12 mode is actually dx11on12 I think

[viral gust]

oh really... do they just do RT on DX12?

[wanton condor]

From my understanding yeah

[round mauve]

yet DX12 runs slightly faster

I dunno what is up with that

maybe async compute is helping

[deep tangle]

About this, its just an uneducated guess looking back now

The game has a full DX12 renderer but somehow they are loading all shaders and materials from the dx11 shader database when they also ship dx12

I apologise

so no Witcher 3 NG shenanigans? because RT is super heavy in it

[deep tangle]

RT is still heavy but more like unoptimized. In DL2 they have to use screen space tracing first because BVH is very simplified and missing grasses, then the actual RT traces 1000 units where most of the assets arent even in the BVH at that distance XD

[round mauve]

W3 RT ends up being nearly as perf intensive as 2077 PT

with massive CPU bottlenecks

we're talking a 9800X3D with tuned DDR5 can just about hold 60 in Novigrad but mostly in the 50s

[spark wadi]

is this a drill

late april fools joke?

[karmic fulcrum]

that looks kinda odd, isnt it? stock reno settings

still game looks nice imo, just much darker than i first played it

[round mauve]

Como?

How are you playing with reno

It should just crash your game since it isn't complete

[karmic fulcrum]

works fine

im using 6.4.1 reshade for it, cuz if i install newer it crashes like u ve said

dark af

[viral gust]

The mod is very unfinished. It's not gonna work.

[karmic fulcrum]

:/

[karmic fulcrum]

are u gonna finish it?

Nope... Pumbo is just blueballing us

[stray flint]

Very much wanting this lol after playing DLTB going to go back to this game and would be great having not broken HDR

[sly pike]

So we won't be able to use DLSS FG in this game with the mod? 🙁

[round mauve]

?

Based on what

Oh right, if using Luma (which is DX11 only) then yes also no RT

But this will also have a Reno hence both in the title

[spark wadi]

let them cook

ready when its ready

[sly pike]

[slender sigil]

Just wanted to say that I too hope this will eventually be revisited, as I've put off finishing Dying Light 2 for years due to the lack of HDR (and Windows Auto HDR and RTX HDR doesn't work well in the game I think). Would also love to figure out a way to turn off the game's color grading

[sly pike]

I also can't play the second and third games because the second one doesn't have HDR 🙁

[hallow carbon]

Actually there are some mods who claim toning down and almost disabling the terrible autoexposure in DL2. https://www.nexusmods.com/dyinglight2/mods/1068?tab=description

[tepid wyvern]

the beast is a sequel to the first game

so far I haven't seen any references to 2

[wanton condor]

yeah you don't need to play the 2nd game to play the 3rd

would probably give yourself whip last from playing all the games back to back

[shut hawk]

Hi, when I start the game with the mod it becomes extremely dark, and if frame generation is enabled the image freezes until I turn it off.
I know it’s not finished yet, but is there any temporary way to get it working?
Or does this also require a data2/data7 pak mod like in the case of Beast?
Thanks for the Answer.

[viral gust]

Not finished
