Unreal Engine

[strong plaza]

and how do I clear them?

[shell igloo]

the nexus link hosts a ue-extended file

[mild hazel]

in this case the shader was modified to fix an issue

clear shaders like you would do for any game

[vital knoll]

oh

[mild hazel]

its so people stop asking how to set up batman specifically

and asking for the same instructions that you would use for any game 1000 times

that and the base game HDR is quite ass

[solar prairie]

@mild hazel what's the perf cost for U+ batman mod ?

Also I saw that the game auto resets sharpness and it must be put to 1 and back to 0 every time.

[mild hazel]

I didnt check thoroughly cause game runs at pretty high fps, but medium view distance is higher than epic view distance by default, and medium shadows IIRC is equivalent to high

[solar prairie]

ok thank you

[silver stag]

So what are the actual differences between github's UE RenoDX and the UE Extended RenoDX from here?

Side note: why is there no additional choice of tonemappers in the UE Extended addon?

[thick belfry]

One tonemapper to rule them all

[mild hazel]

the generic goal is to basically just make the games intended look work correctly in HDR

[silver stag]

Right but sometimes the intended look, looks bad

Including some additional tonemappers (and even noting that they're just optional/not recommended if you will) would maybe make sense

In the couple games I tried the UE Extended does look decent, fortunately

[shell igloo]

that's why there are grading sliders

[mild hazel]

that and if a game really does warrant something else, a dedicated mod can be made

[silver stag]

For the Unity Universal RenoDX, which tonemapper is the equivalent of Unreal Extended's only tonemapper?

[split dagger]

The game looks amazing

[mild hazel]

really mostly reflections dragging it down

[strong plaza]

So from steamapps/shadercache and then deleting the right folder, or do I need to do it in the nvidia app? I never did it before

[mild hazel]

nvidia shaders are in %localappdata%/nvidia

I think they added a button in the nvidia app maybe

[stoic narwhal]

I will thank you!

[dusty girder]

@silver stag Unity games use different tonemappers

all unreal games use one (UE Filmic)

[silver stag]

Hm weren't there multiple tonemappers in Unreal Engine RenoDX plugin (non-extended one)?

[dusty girder]

no

[silver stag]

I see, thank you

so what's the big difference between the normal UE RenoDX plugin and the Extended one? Is there any write up or changelog?

[dusty girder]

"its better"

2.0

[silver stag]

Love that

[silver stag]

@dusty girder Is there any guide for which settings to tweak in terms of 'improving the HDR look of the game" either in RenoDX mods in general, or particularly for UE Extended?

Like, what's the most impactful without crushing details too much, what people recommend tweaking the most etc.

[dusty girder]

just use it out of the box

if you want increase contrast/saturation a bit

maybe highlights

thats about it

like 55 contrast/saturation

that goes for 99% of mods

[silver stag]

🫡 thank you

[brave gull]

There a UE extended list for supported games yet?

[vital knoll]

it's complicated to do i reckon, as you have two versions of the addon and peeps might be confused more but that's just me

[mild hazel]

just assume every UE 4/5 game is supported

its not feasible to make a list

if a game isnt supported its usually doing something different and needs specific support added

[north fjord]

Still waiting for someone to fix MK 1

[thick patio]

by the way, does anybody tried lego batman with ray reconstruction and hardware lumen upgrades through ini etc?

[quiet skiff]

hardware lumen through ini isnt real

[thick patio]

explain please

[shell igloo]

you can't just enable hardware lumen with INIs

the game needs to be cooked with HW support

and then forced with ue4ss or similar

[thick patio]

still batman already have hardware lumen AFAIK

[shell igloo]

the game isn't even using Lumen by default

it has baked lighting

[shell igloo]

any comparisons/examples?

[thick patio]

but it use ray tracing GI and reflecations on epic settings isnt it?

[shell igloo]

no

it's all SSR

[mild hazel]

yeah batman is baked and uses SSR, is why reflections are so bad

[mild hazel]

its real when its real (very rarely) aka game was cooked with it and r.raytracing=1 doesnt crash

Cthulhu the Cosmic Abyss is one such example

Nobody Wants To Die is another

but 99.9% of HW lumen mods on nexus are absolutely fake and trick people via something along the lines of r.lumen.reflections.smoothbias=1

somehow this tricks people

like in SHf, idk how many times I was asked about it....

[dry jetty]

May I know what games are compatible with unreal extended? Are all unreal 4 and 5 games work with it?

[glossy cipher]

if you want the easiest way to find out, then you can use the RHI program #1474481327691665553
https://github.com/RankFTW/RHI/releases

It will tell you if a game has a Reno Mod, or if it's Unreal Engine or Unity Engine it can offer you the generic Mods as well as the UE Extended mod.

If you ever discover something works with UE Extended you can let RankFTW know and he can add it to the list of working games

if a game does not work at all with generic mods, you can also go into the Unreal or Unity channels and ask about them, maybe it is possible to "enable" it, or maybe it would need a specialized mod

here is also a list, but UE extended games listed are not that up-to-date: https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Mods

[mild hazel]

the intent is that every game is compatible but of course support will have to be added if a game doesn't work

[royal elk]

Did you fix it?

[stoic narwhal]

not sure, i haven't even retried since. I'll let you know later possibly.

[dusty girder]

with the new metadata system

it might be time to start filling out ue extended's metadata file

[dusty girder]

@charred solstice @west canopy I made some core changes, can you please try the NTR gacha game and tell me if the start menu with the characters is still okay or if its griefed

[inner breach]

For Stellar blade I'm using the old UE addon right now that does SDR->HDR and I added DLSS fix. If I want to use UE extended I would need to turn on HDR in the game right? and can I remove DLSS fix?

[indigo plank]

correct

[inner breach]

thank you

[sullen solar]

I think it's still best to use the sdr path for stellar blade with ue extended

[inner breach]

If I use the SDR path I would need DLSS fix from my understanding?

or the UE extended completly remove the needs for it?

[thick belfry]

If you use SDR path and want meme frames generation DLSS fix is necessary

[inner breach]

i like meme frames

[west canopy]

Hell nah brother. Even when your base fps is 60+ I would never use it. Can you not notice the input delay and slight ghosting/frametime inconsistency?

To me in any game I tried it feels like the game is broken - compared to how natural and smooth it feels if you can get it running at base 60+. I just have no use for framegen at all. It still does more harm than good. And I'm not a hater, I really tried to make it work. But it just feels to me like the game is broken. I play on a controller.

In NTE specifically, for some reason I will get the little microsttuter (and drop to 45-55 range) when enabling full RT, with FG the microsttuter will expand to MEGA stutter, it makes it feel absolutely unplayable

On top of other issues (input delay and frametime judder)

[inner breach]

nope, don't really notice it. i don't play close enough to my TV to pixel scan the image and I don't really feel the latency increase. this at x2. don't use x3 and up because that feels terrible to me too

[west canopy]

But apparently going above 2x makes no difference, it shouldn't feel any worse

You should really be using dynamic imho if you use it

[shell igloo]

even at 50 base doom tda felt fine with FG 3x

[charred solstice]

looks quite normal, is this the version that didn't need spiwar's hand tunning?

[west canopy]

Me neither I am far enough to the point I can't notice film grain (a singular pixel) so my default is ultra performance 4K, but frame gen issues is a completely another problem. Messy frametimes, input delay and stutter that was not there before (stutter depends on game some worse than others) it's not a vram issue btw (16 GB) except in cyberpunk, that one can hit 16 if you overdo with 4k mods

[inner breach]

the higher the framegen the lower base framerate you'll have. so if you start lets say at 65 to 70 base without framegen, activating it lowers the base FPS because the cards uses resources for framegen so the base fps becomes 60. if you use x3 the base becomes 55 and so on.

[west canopy]

I know this but even if base is at 60 (and feels kinda smooth and consistent) I still feel the input delay, it's like I'm playing on 30hz down from 120hz

And then when what would be a microsttuter in frametime before, if your base went under 60 then yeah, it's a yikes mega stutter and judder (just makes any performance drops X2 noticeable as well)

[mild hazel]

dlssg good (assuming in every UE game you also set r.oneframethreadlag=0)

would rather claw my eyes out than play at 60 fps

[inner breach]

is this a big improvement?

[mystic radish]

Sb has pretty bad latency to begin with so I wouldn't recommend it there. But if you've tried it already and don't notice then all good I guess

[mild hazel]

often cuts like 20-30ms of latency

and unless game has cpu problems, no downside really

[inner breach]

Gonna try it. Can I just create an engine.ini and put that command there or do I need to enable the command console?

And this is not in the U+ mod for the game right?

[mild hazel]

for what game, batman no cause no UE4SS

[inner breach]

Stellar blade

[mild hazel]

ReduceInputLatency should be exposed

[lucid wedge]

same

[mild hazel]

if you havent installed latest nexus version and cleared shaders then you would need to do that

[lucid wedge]

Didn't install Renodx for batman prior to the latest nexus version, do I still need to clear shaders?

[sullen solar]

If it's crashing you should try it

[dry jetty]

May I know who made UE extended mod please? I want to donate to them thanks

[digital oak]

bob

[dry jetty]

Can you tag please if you can

Is it @grave oyster

[digital oak]

@dusty girder

[digital oak]

no 😆

[dry jetty]

He doesn’t have a link to donate

[dry jetty]

😹😅

@dusty girder how do I donate to you?

Your mod helped me play mafia with FG without the DLSS fix

[glossy cipher]

let's throw tomatoes at Marat, until we get a Ko-Fi(etc.) link

[thick patio]

so nothing will come about RT here? thats sad

[dusty girder]

@dry jetty steam gifts would be nice

add me on steam, and send a giftcard https://steamcommunity.com/id/marat569/

its the only way to privatly accept donations

[dusty girder]

@charred solstice all versions of ue extended have spiwar's stuff for the game

I was just asking since I made soem core changes, so if nothing's fucked life is good

[deep wedge]

does lego batman need an hdr mod? if so is it UE extended or is there a standalone one?

@dusty girder does UE extended work with lego batman?

[shell igloo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/legobatmanlegacyofthedarkknight/mods/19 that's just extended but with instructions for nexus plebs

[west canopy]

Forgot I installed this, been playing with it uh yeah I can't notice any difference

gladge

[deep wedge]

thanks. will give this a go. nice, i see it also has u+ 🩷

[dusty girder]

yea thats just the pinned snapshot uploaded to the nexus with instructions

[honest linden]

hey guys it looks like there is an issue with UE extended and Returnal using the latest version

[dusty girder]

is native hdr on?

[honest linden]

yes

[dusty girder]

ima check in a bit

[dusty girder]

unreal 6.7.3?

[honest linden]

I first noticed it when RHI automatically updated Reno. So I tried doing a manual install myself and got the same result

[dusty girder]

give me a bit

[honest linden]

Returnal is UE 4, how can I look up the exact version?

[dusty girder]

sorry

reshade 6.7.3 ?

im off to try

give me a few min

for now try pressing reset all in reno

[charred solstice]

ya all good, no difference even with a/b screenshots

[honest linden]

sorry, yes, latest

Is there a way to grab the previous snapshot of UE extended?

[dusty girder]

well latest is 6.8

yea if oyu go on my github

there are snapshots under release

[indigo plank]

it's something with the latest snapshot; yesterday's nightly works fine (before the BL4 support commits)

https://github.com/marat569/renodx/releases/download/nightly-20260526/renodx-ue-extended.addon64

i also happened to start playing returnal yesterday lmao

[dusty girder]

https://github.com/marat569/renodx/releases

ok yea I see

something is griefed

[honest linden]

there is? Latest on their site is 6.7.3

[dusty girder]

I think I know what it is

[honest linden]

missed that, I found it before but wasn't able to find it earlier for some reason, I'm blind sometimes

[honest linden]

what borked?

so where do I get reshade 6.8? 😄

also huge thanks for jumping right on that @dusty girder, was trying to jump in the game to play coop with my little brother and was hit with the borked shaders

[dusty girder]

I just had to add better guardrails

gotta commit fast, before people download the broken build

[honest linden]

you are the man!

Glad I could help catch it

[dusty girder]

yea thanks a lot

[honest linden]

If you ever want help with testing out new builds I would be happy to do so btw

[dusty girder]

just update whenever there is one, and let me know if something broke

I broke something else though

off ti guthub

[honest linden]

Ah what does this fix?

[dusty girder]

silent hill f

[honest linden]

Tbh if it wasn’t for RHI I would not have been on the latest update and have noticed so quickly

[dusty girder]

I added special logic to handle output device 7/8/9

the original check was just if (outputdevice >= 7u) { with the assumption that anything thats over 7 and above will be 7 through 9

but that doesnt seem to be the case, I had to do a hard check

  bool is_linear = (outputdevice == 8u || outputdevice == 9u);
  if (is_linear) {

[I killed off output device 7 for now, I dont think its used]

wait I see the issue

returnal has a meme

output device 10

thats non standard

wow this is peak retardation

the output device 10 branch just iterates over all the other output devices

I guess returnal was "custom" -- so this is prolly the best way they thought of adding their custom code

ya'll finding this is good, who knows what meme values other games send

thank you

[honest linden]

Returnal is weird and has its own Rebar weirdness in the profile as well

[dusty girder]

either way its all good now

checking for 7+ would've worked in literally every other game LMAO

[honest linden]

I'm not surprised, I had to work with the devs of Relimiter and Display commander to get the game working properly with their add ons as well

[celest jackal]

i’m getting less stutters on lego batman with new graphic drivers for 5080

[honest linden]

Just saw the new drivers

Guess I should give em a whirl

[silver stag]

In this screen, having any of the slider (in my case Contrast, Highlight, Saturation) changed from defaults caused this extreme shimmer

sliders at defaults (except for peak brightness/game brightness/ui brightness) - normal looking screen

sliders I was using to play so far (contrast, highlights, saturation all tweaked)

notice the HDR analysis goes haywire, because of what's happening with the image output (shimmering highlights)

[dusty girder]

try reducing blend facotr

the game might be too bright for highlights

or

dont use highlights

and increase blend factor instead

[silver stag]

no, even just 1 point in Contrast causes this

in this one scene

well, end of a mission menu rather than scene

[silver stag]

will that not break anything in other scenes?

but I'll try next time I am in mission summary menu

[dusty girder]

dont think so

shouldnt

its a fancy brightness slider

not exactly brightness but

you might get better results from it vs. highlights

[honest linden]

gotta love RenoDX 😄

[silver stag]

blend has no effect on the game as far as I can tell

I guess this screen is not that important so it being completely broken HDR-wise is fine

so far this only popped up at the end of a mission in a summary screen, I spend maybe 20 seconds there

[dusty girder]

oh yea maybe not because its a bit different

[dusty girder]

I need to try the game out

I seen a ton of cool clips

[silver stag]

All in all RenoDX UE Extended looks amazing with those few tweaks from my screenshot (contrast, saturation, highlight, as per advice I got here)

For a LEGO game? It is stunning

[dusty girder]

I'm surprised how popular the lego game is

[honest linden]

I’ve noticed that the SDR 2.2 ETOF emulation can cause somewhat crushed blacks, but looks better overall. Any suggestions for tweaking it? (Playing on a calibrated Sony Bravia OLED peak 1000 nits)

[dusty girder]

ye

so what you can do is

turn it off

and increase either flare or contrast a bit

its not exactly crusehd blacks, its just how the game would look on a 2.2 display

but at the end of the day use whatever you like

[silver stag]

Is your Sony Bravia not a Gamma 2.2 display?

[silver stag]

True

[honest linden]

For HDR it is ST 2084 (PQ - Perceptual Quantizer) from what I can tell

[west canopy]

native can't be this bad?? why does it look like sdr?

[dry jetty]

Bro add me on discord unable to dm you

[dry jetty]

Guys what’s up should I download and use this? Is this the latest version? Is something wrong with older version?

[deep wedge]

yeah I don't think native is this bad. its pretty decent but reno can definitely make it even better. I'll definitely be trying it out next time when I pick the game back up

[blazing coral]

tried the nte hdr instructions but game seems to block dxgi so i guess that's done

[blazing coral]

reading is hard mb

[dusty girder]

@dry jetty nothing now, just download the snapshot

[atomic oak]

Directive 8020 latest patch improved the Path Tracing performance by a lot. Native HDR is completely fubar though and unreal extended renodx does not improve on peak brightness.

• I used linear lilium brightness booster to increase brightness and peaks for now
• Black levels look okay

Edit: Fixed when setting R10G10B10A2_unorm to output size

[mild hazel]

ue extended works

unless patch broke it

but you need HDR on

and upgrade path off

upgrades dont do anything if you have upgrade path off

[atomic oak]

And a2_unorm to output size

[mild hazel]

that doesnt do anything

upgrade sliders aren't actually active if upgrade path is off

[atomic oak]

Very strange

[dry jetty]

Can you please link me to where I can get the latest snapshot from?

[dusty girder]

click the pins

https://marat569.github.io/renodx/renodx-ue-extended.addon64

[dry jetty]

Thank you

[atomic oak]

I verified it. Its working. The peak brightness looks good its just that most of the indoor highlights are being muted and are not very bright. The flashlight and sun reach peak brightness though.

[mild hazel]

that is probably more their grading I guess

[dusty girder]

why not use native hdr on?

with upgrade path set to off?

shouldnt it already be set to off by default in unreal extended

[mild hazel]

I think he is? I don't think I set a default for 8020

[dusty girder]

ah

@mild hazel if you have time, test the directive 5090 native hdr with upgrade path off

if it works/looks right

and then add defaults pls

[mild hazel]

I did that

[dusty girder]

huh

[mild hazel]

that is how I wrote it

[dusty girder]

then upgrades shouldnt make a difference

[mild hazel]

correct

is what I said above

[dusty girder]

directive 8080 isnt in my addon.cpp

or on the repo

I have the lutbuilders

[mild hazel]

didnt you merge my MR a couple days ago

[dusty girder]

yea looking through history

8020 pr didnt have

addon.cpp changes

only lutbuilders

[mild hazel]

yeah, I forgot to default upgrade path off

09:37:45:596 [26140] | INFO | [RenoDX] No default settings for Directive8020-Win64-Shipping.exe (Directive8020)

[dusty girder]

I'll add that later

also I need to rename composite_hdr10_0x0E54A7B2.ps_6_6.hlsl to BlitUIToHDRPS

HandleIntermediateEncoding() -- which is linear bt2020 output

you name those BlitUIToHDRPS_

[ebon dome]

does the extended build need dlssfix for fg?

[oak solar]

No but you need to use the native HDR and set upgrade path to off

[ebon dome]

yeah, I got that. I just thought I remembered someone saying it was built into extended and I couldn't find it in the history

and the repo is still for the standard UE plugin with the dlssfix warning so I wanted to make sure

[oak solar]

Yeah it confused me too

[ebon dome]

I know extended is still technically not release ready so there's not a lot of documentation on it

[bronze crescent]

Bro I just tried ue extended addon with Marvel's Midnight Suns and no flickering, no crash, no need to turn off in game hdr or change output size. Even nvidia app override can be used in tandem. What is this miracle? Why is this not mentioned on renodx github page? Dlssfix never worked for me in this game.
Just wondering what I should set for these options (peak brightness/game brightness/UI brightness). Will it mess with the game's own calibration slider? Peak brightness at the default 486 nits seems low.

[dusty girder]

most of the reason extended is not on the official repo or

there is no list is

I'm too lazy to deal with that stuff

I just work on the addon and add games

also in terms of daily use, its mostly done

I kept procrastinating making a git page for it

[vocal nova]

@mild hazel
Marat said u got Lego Batman.
Would u be able to tell if this shader (by hash) is used during normal gameplay?
https://github.com/marat569/renodx/blob/034831fbb822854469a6b9b05084c43c99304ce8/src/games/ue-extended/games/legobatmanlegacy/lutbuilder_0xE01E7862.ps_6_6.hlsl#L917
I'm trying to document how it works but I don't have it.
You'd need to run the reno devkit and take a capture to check.
Thx

[mild hazel]

I pulled those from the devkit, and am pretty confident it is used

[vocal nova]

yeah

though i'd love to know if it's used all the times

could be it's just used for a couple frames

[mild hazel]

that is where the primary fixes were made, granted most of my screenshot comparisons were on main menu other than a couple

[vocal nova]

or the main menu

cuz that lut customizes UE

it does luminance reinhard tonemapping

(SDR only)

[mild hazel]

but I can say that doing a jxr comparison of sdr vs hdr looks pretty correct

versus vanilla hdr being quite different from SDR

[dusty girder]

please just turn the game on, press snapshot in the devkit, and look at the lutbuilder hash in use

[mild hazel]

I can check a couple places tomorrow to be more thorough

[dusty girder]

takes 5 minutes

[vocal nova]

😄

[mild hazel]

how bout no

cause I am in bed

[vocal nova]

then that shader is not in use under gameplay

because the results would be massively different

between SDR and HDR

the rest is likely vanilla HDR

[mild hazel]

I can look after work tomorrow, but its at least used in main menu scene

[dusty girder]

ye

[unreal siren]

Hello@mild hazel, I don't know if you remember but I told you few days ago I was crashing on the upgrade menu of Lego Batman, I crash even without Reno, It seems to be related to Resahde 6.7.3 because without it I have no crash

[mild hazel]

@dusty girder @vocal nova yes, it is used during gameplay - here are JXRs vanilla SDR (w/ lilium TRC fix) vs ue extended

and then if I swap back to original shader for that hash in devkit

[amber sapphire]

Wait what it’s a unity game? I thought it was UE5?

[mild hazel]

its ue5

[vocal nova]

https://github.com/KoKlusz/HDR-Gaming-Database/discussions/127

SDR doesn't seem tonemapped by luminance to me though

unless they changed the HDR too, but i don't think so.

[mild hazel]

to be honest I dont really know this stuff, I was just trying to help out with adding support for another game and got it to look close to how SDR is graded with some help from Marat

unfortunately somehow almost every game I have picked to help with is doing atypical stuff

[vocal nova]

vanilla HDR seems to look good here, no?

[mild hazel]

there are plenty of places where like half the image is nearly black

doesnt handle shadowed areas well

[vocal nova]

u got other screenshots?

[mild hazel]

uh lemme see

[mild hazel]

#1411800884303626311 message

[vocal nova]

yeah it's dark

[vocal nova]

if u play more and can bother taking a few more screenshots of vanilla HDR and vanilla SDR (interepreted as gamma 2.2)

i'd be grateful

but either way, thx for having checked 😛

[mild hazel]

I can perhaps grab some more, I might have a few locally but not in the right format

[vocal nova]

yeah i need "proof" of the black crush

[mild hazel]

vanilla SDR and HDR are very very different from eachother

[vocal nova]

highlights and midtones don't look that different to me.

[mild hazel]

I agree on at least highlights, I was surprised that the highlights seemed similar

in general though feels like the entire image is missing a component that SDR has, will have to grab more comparisons

[placid siren]

because UE native hdr can break custom effects and shaders in games even when "officially" added by the game. and Midnight Suns is Streamline v1

[bronze crescent]

Oh... Well, it's too good to be true then...

[placid siren]

doesn't mean UE HDR can't work. just you wouldn't know it's broken unless you're comparing with the SDR version

there's instances where you do UE HDR and then it's like "wait that level was supposed to be all red" when you compare to SDR and you had no idea when playing

[bronze crescent]

Midnight suns has native hdr though, so the question is how does ue extended hdr compare to the game's original hdr

[placid siren]

depends on the game. but UE HDR forces ACES with no custom curve if SDR had one

UE SDR is customizable ACES-like. UE HDR is just ACES fixed

if they did no customization on the SDR tonemapper (stock ACES), it would match ACES HDR

[dusty girder]

if the lutbuilder is the same that wont happen with the mod

with no mods yea it will run ACES when its not supposed to, skip sdr luts, etc

but with a mod I only work with the sdr colors, process sdr luts, etc

outside of the very rare game that doesnt spawn sdr luts in native hdr, its a non issue

ini hdr on the other hand has issues; but thats mostly a "use it at your own risk" type of deal

I basically grab untonemapped_ap1, sdr filmic cbuffers, and then return

everything after untonemapped_ap1 is a complete rewrite

everything beforeuntonemapped_ap1 is just lut decoding, encoding, nuke color correct, so we need that

[placid siren]

yeah, but to avoid flicker, you need hdr ini/native on Midnight Sun or a streamline v1 patch

[next lion]

Is there somewhere I can get that from that's not Nexus?

I don't have an account anymore, and with their terrible account security, I don't want one either.

[shell igloo]

pinned link from marat has batman support

[next lion]

Nice, thanks.

[mild hazel]

yeah its just on nexus cause can point to it without people asking the same question 1000 times

[next lion]

Guessing it's not compatible with the Epic version.

Cause it doesn't do anything except adjust the UI brightness.

[stoic narwhal]

for batman?

had to use lazorr U+ mod to turn HDR on

[mild hazel]

instructions on nexus

if you want sliders to work without toggling hdr off and on

otherwise you can just toggle hdr off and on to change sliders

[next lion]

Works now, thanks.

[mild hazel]

@vocal nova 3 more comparisons

[vocal nova]

btw, u can use PRINT SCREEN to take easy HDR PNGs in reshade

[vocal nova]

they are vanilla SDR vs vanilla HDR? reno not installed?

well, using the xbox bar screenshots without Reno makes sense, cuz then u get an HDR screenshot even if the game is in SDR mode.

so SDR had the lilium gamma conversion fix>?

[mild hazel]

yep

no reno, just vanilla captured via gamebar

and liliums fix

[vocal nova]

HDR can be a bit crushed

[mild hazel]

how much the floor changes in cave is a bit odd

[dusty girder]

lmao this reminds me of

[vocal nova]

yeah. u had default values?

[dusty girder]

the old renodx mods that had "vanilla, none, aces, renodrt"

[mild hazel]

yeah defaults

[dusty girder]

and turning on ACES in a game that doesnt use ACES

[vocal nova]

it's like sRGB mismatch but flipped.

it could be that SDR is by luminance in shadow too

and that's why it's less contrasty (no shadow crush, not saturation boost)

[mild hazel]

also the UI is broken

[vocal nova]

same as every other UI game

[mild hazel]

not a setting for it either

[dusty girder]

gotta add the hide ui slider soon ™

[surreal bridge]

Ue extended latest?

[glossy cipher]

the link in the pins will always be the latest UEE

[surreal bridge]

k thanks

[vocal nova]

wait there's a black level adjustment?

[mild hazel]

there is a slider for it

[vocal nova]

u had it at default?

can't the shadow crush be fixed with it?

[mild hazel]

never touched it tbh

[vocal nova]

then why complain 😄

HDR game analysis (@HDRgameAnalysis)

There is a shadow slider. It just doesn’t do much, unless you increase it a lot, and then I see issues with color shifts ?

X · May 22, 2026, 9:52 PM

[mild hazel]

idk, the HDR just seemed off in general outside of just shadow issues and broken UI is most annoying thing

and partly my assumption/expectation that in game sliders are usually broken

[dusty girder]

that shouldnt do anything with the mod

all hdr controls should be disabled

[mild hazel]

lol, black level 0% vs 100%

???

[dusty girder]

lmao

[vocal nova]

doesn't seem to help much even at 0

[mild hazel]

0 is default

[desert heron]

0 doesn't look too bad
100 is crushed to hell and back

[broken smelt]

anyone know why this happens, dragonquest 1&2

Filippo Tarpini (@FilippoTarpini)

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight HDR technical analysis:
︀︀- Mostly Vanilla Unreal Engine 5.5 HDR
︀︀- Completely different tonemapper between SDR (custom luminance based Reinhard) and HDR (vanilla HDR ACES), so shadows, midtones and highlights all end up having different colors
︀︀- Colors are a lot more saturated in HDR, due to per channel tonemapping
︀︀- Black levels don't match: HDR is a lot more contrasty, with crushed shadow (independently of the shadow setting)
︀︀- UI is washed out in HDR, has inconsistent transparency, and is arguably overly bright
︀︀
︀︀Given that the SDR tonemapper has been replaced, while the HDR one is default, I'd assume the reference look is SDR, and that lighting and grading were made for it.
︀︀HDR, while looking amazing in some scenes, can seemingly get overly dark, preventing visibility in the shadow.
︀︀This is unusual as in most games, it's HDR that is washed out, however, it's very hard to match…

This is Pumbo right?

Playing Lego Batman again now after beating first light

[vital knoll]

does anyone play Duet Night Abyss (Gacha Game) with this yet?

[clear narwhal]

I tried the NTE HDR instructions and the game's booting up with Reshade + RenoDX but the sliders don't change anything.
Is there something I might be missing?

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/discussions/557

[dusty girder]

did you set engine.ini to read only?

[clear narwhal]

Yup, I did.

[charred solstice]

make sure it's engine.ini and not engine.ini.txt because people forget to saved in* .*

[strong plaza]

My game looks completely different, I wonder if it's the graphic settings or if you upped the contrast and saturation?

Is this how it's supposed to look or not?

This is the png but it looks much darker than how I see in HDR

[mild hazel]

need to use reshade to capture PNGs

the defaults are roughly how it is supposed to look

[naive badge]

Yeah the contrast and saturation are way up on his lol

This is a pic I took but even this is saturation and contrast +5

But yeah most of the time defaults are accurate

[celest jackal]

left mine at default and looks great

game is already very colourful

[sullen spoke]

batman has some of the best hdr i've seen

[silver stag]

It's a bit sad that so often you need to have RenoDX mod installed for such statement to be true

But yes, with RenoDX LEGO Batman HDR looks quite stunning

Always need to add an asterix there lol

XYZ game has amazing HDR*

*if you fix the HDR with a mod

I run Batman with all default settings (after calibrating brightness of course) except for:

Highlights +3
Saturation +5
Contrast +7

[dusty girder]

if batman with renodx is considered peak hdr; thats kind of sad because its probably the simplest hdr there is

its just a display mapper (N2) in lms

there is no tonemapping or anything

would probably be 20 minutes of work to implement officially

but they went with filmic slop instead

[amber sapphire]

Yeah I upped both contrast and saturation lol

[digital oak]

i think a game’s graphics and direction can affect the impact of hdr, like even if you have the perfect hdr implementation, if the game looks bad it will still look bad

[dusty girder]

for sure

[clear narwhal]

Wow thankies, you hit the nail in the head -- my file is still a text file. I thought it would be overriden and saved as a configuration file.

Now I have to figure out how to save it as an ini file.

[mild hazel]

in the options you can show extensions

[vital knoll]

does this work for ue3 games? 💀

[shell igloo]

no

[amber sapphire]

Did ue3 ever get hdr?

UE4 does

But ue3 I don’t think ever did

[digital oak]

dx9 can’t output hdr, and most of ue3 games are dx9

[amber sapphire]

There it is

[vital knoll]

i see, just saw Alice: Madness Returns, so SpecialK, RTX HDR the options now or am i missing something? maybe the Lilium SDR to HDR shader works with dx9?

[sullen solar]

there's a reno mod for Alice

https://www.nexusmods.com/alicemadnessreturns/mods/67

[digital oak]

we can ouput hdr using dx11 proxy

[vital knoll]

forgot to search for it wow, ty

[vital knoll]

is that what you did with your mod?

[digital oak]

yeah

[hot wind]

Askeladd left this server so i don't know how to fix this map UI bugging out, Duet Night Abyss UE-Generic (extended hdr doesn't work)

nevermind, extended also has bugged map ui

[hot wind]

is there anything i can do to help fix this? dump lut maybe?

[dusty girder]

looks like alpha blending issues

I think it was swapchain proxy revert state, the rest of trhe UI would be bugged

@hot wind send me reshade.log for that game

you can also try using ini tweaks and ue extended with Upgrade Path set to off

[mental bluff]

Thank you for this! does adding r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1 to Engine.ini change anything other than the UI? When I add that the UI looks overexposed, but if I take it off it looks normal. Just making sure I'm not doing anything incorrectly here

[dusty girder]

do the same insturctions, but download the latest snapshot in the pins

also ui composite is the main change, for whatever reason the devs didnt add it

idk how they even went about doing that

since its mandatory

[mild hazel]

if you have HDR enabled without that, the UI is completely broken

characters are washed out in inventory still but 🤷

[dusty girder]

really? try the latest snapshot

I added logic for output device 8 and 9 recently

unless the inventory uses output device 7, no logic for that; didnt find a game that uses it

lmk @mild hazel

[mild hazel]

Ill try it tonight prolly

[dusty girder]

alright

[mental bluff]

So the weird thing is, if I add those lines to the .ini, the UI with the default HDR (without renodx-ue-extended) looks normal instead of super oversaturated.
when I use renodx-ue-extended with the lines in the .ini, the UI looks a bit washed out.
if I take out r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1 with renodx-ue-extended, the UI looks normal

[mild hazel]

its definitely completely broken without compositing

main menu is also like max nits saturated colors when you launch game without it

[mental bluff]

is there a different in-game HDR gamma setting I should be using?

[mild hazel]

shouldnt really matter I dont think, but I left mine at default

[amber sapphire]

Oh shit I need to try this

[mild hazel]

@dusty girder

everything else is fine though

[dusty girder]

@mild hazel would there be any way for you to check the output device

in the char menu?

[mild hazel]

uh

[dusty girder]

whas the game name again

[mild hazel]

deep rock galactic rogue core

[mental bluff]

oddly for me all the UI elements look like the character

[mild hazel]

hmm

[dusty girder]

also what lutbuilder is in use in the char menu?

[mental bluff]

unless I disable HDR in game or remove r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=1 from the .ini

[dusty girder]

okay I think I see what it is

the games that dont have output device

and use WorkingColorSpace_384

the first branch is the same as output device 9

wait no, it uses the gamma color

[mild hazel]

here is what happens without composite

[dusty girder]

you can add a temporary patch

based on NTE

nte does some shit here

https://github.com/marat569/renodx/blob/f5948052eb112169ffd62e87ba9d212457f49ef9/src/games/ue-extended/games/nevernesstoeverness/precomposite_0x87519E48.ps_6_6.hlsl

to encode the ui

realisticly its prolly me needing to handle the non-output device isSrgb branch

[mild hazel]

I would try to look more, but bout to play with a friend

[dusty girder]

d.w about it

not a big deal

eventually I'll find a game I can test

[mild hazel]

also I have so many forks of reno locally

and keep needing to swap devkits around lol

[dusty girder]

thats ass

yea d.w about it

eventually I'll find a game I can test

[mental bluff]

for me it looks like this

[dusty girder]

I probably just need to handle the first part of this

[mental bluff]

sorry if im not being helpful 😅

[dusty girder]

time to feed another cbuffer to all sm6 lutbuilders

[mental bluff]

I'm extremely new but if I can help with something lmk

[mild hazel]

yeah, idk why it would be different

maybe fullscreen or something

[dusty girder]

that might be it

some pepega ue5 games try to force fullscreen

even fi they dont need it

[restive rain]

Alone in the Dark is washed out af

Doesn't look like it does. I mean sliders work, but the entire image is borked. Almost like when you're trying to do SDR path with native HDR on

[dusty girder]

enable native hdr in game?

I tested alone in the dark long (2023) ago

make sure upgrade path is off, it should default to upgrade path off; if it doesnt change it to off and restart the game

[restive rain]

Yeah, never mind, native HDR turned off itself for some reason after installing the mod

[dusty girder]

its a good game

I played both campaigns

im going to need to add a warning

[restive rain]

Are they different or like RE2 where it's 80% of the same?

[dusty girder]

if upgrade path is set to off, a text box will appear to enable native hdr in game

[dusty girder]

I liked the story/setting

the game itself is very mid

the combat is mid

its not exactly amazing, I never played RE2 so I cant compare it to that

but its short

[restive rain]

SHf is the same

But good SH nonetheless

[dusty girder]

I need to finish SH2

I was having fun

but ended up putting it on pause in the hospital

I went back to runescape

[fallen drum]

SH2r is peak, replayed it 3x

[hot wind]

ue extended doesn't output HDR, only generic for now,

also even with ui tweak it still bugged

[dusty girder]

I'll look into it

[desert heron]

damn UE extended works on Satisfactory way better than regular UE lol

[stable pine]

If a game doesn’t have native hdr can I use extended still?

[hot wind]

can u pls tell the differnece between regullar and extended? is it about colors?

better color range whatnot

[hot wind]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Mods
if it's not there, u can wing it by trying the addon, if not then can ask in this server

what game is that btw

also i meant, some games works out of the box but it's rare

[stable pine]

Hmm it’s banister Ghosts of new Eden, Im pretty sure it’s working. Assuming I’d would use the same upgrades needed for the non extended Reno version?

[hot wind]

generic ue addon is like V1 version of UE.addon, so if ue extended doesn't work for outputting HDR, you can fallback to generic

[stable pine]

Would these same upgrades be needed for the extended version?

[mild hazel]

depends if you are using sdr or hdr path

sdr path yeah

[thick patio]

Batman Arkham series is ue3 afaik

[stable pine]

with a peak brightness of 600 is this cap of 203 expected? only happens with ue extended

[rough ledge]

anyone knows why HDRFrame keybinding doesn't work for me in game?

oh had to run as admin

[strong plaza]

Mind showign me your reno settings?

[strong plaza]

damn I had convinced myself that my hdr setup was somehow wrong lol

[hot wind]

@dusty girder u might need complete .log for
the 1rst .log is i just alt f4'd it
this 2nd .log is complete from logging in, to exiting out

also im using generic as extended doesn't work (just don't have time to test all upgrades tbh)

[dusty girder]

I never added the banishers lutbuilders since I've been focusing on SM6 lutbuilders

[rocky mortar]

How did you get Banishers to work with UE Extended? Tried forcing HDR via .ini method and it didn’t work

[stable pine]

I just used RHI but it didn’t really work as expected I think (nits was being capped at 203 everywhere despite a peak brightness of 600) so I went back to the original UE

[mild hazel]

if you look immediately above

"never added banishers lutbuilders"

[polar crest]

does ue extended working over native still require dlssfix @dusty girder ?

[unborn tartan]

LG to showcase DisplayHDR TrueBlack 1000-class OLED and 27-inch 5K gaming panel

[inner breach]

my understanding is no.

[sullen spoke]

no it doesnt

[vital knoll]

if trueblack 1k, it means also 100% brightness with 100% APL?

oooh 600nits at 100% apl, based on VESA's certification

600 nits is nuts

and 2k peak brightness

finally can replicate irl headlights of cars and streetlights

price... 1k$!

[glossy cipher]

we are finally getting close to the perfect base HDR experience with Gaming OLEDs

[west canopy]

Yo yo hold up, how can they do that if they can't even make the 42" brighter? That's illegal!

[gaunt fox]

Hi, I just started Luna Abyss and was searching for anyone that has tweaked it on here. I hope I'm not too much of a bother but I was wondering what B8G8R8A_TYPELESS - "Any size" means? How do I modify that parameter?

Edit: Never mind I was dumb and didn't have the settings in advanced mode. I found the option. Sorry for the ping.

[mild hazel]

I also have a mod for luna abyss with a black floor fix

[gaunt fox]

Oh, really? I didn't see the game listed on the reno github mods page so I'm just using the universal UE mod right now.

Where is yours located?

Once again I have answered my own question. Found it.

[silver stag]

That's incorrect, the VESA guideline would be 500 nits full screen brightness for HDR True Black 1000

[silver stag]

We'll see what LG says when they ACTUALLY show something

For now this is just a headline, basically

But I remain hopeful that they aren't 'cheating' here and the color volume will also significantly increase and it isn't just white pixel tomfoolery

WOLEDs just got rid of the "W" in WOLED by switching from white pixel to RGB

I hope this isn't a step backwards bringing back white pixel just to boost brightness. That's what I mean by 'cheating', saying that tongue in cheek

[digital oak]

the W is for the white oled layer, i prefer it over blue oled tbh

[vital knoll]

oh, mistook the left side instead of the right side in vesa's website, ty

[silver stag]

There's no white pixel in Tandem Primary RGB WOLEDs released in the last few months

@dusty girder Do you own Satisfactory? I just launched newest 1.2 update released today and I have severe flickering of highlights with Frame Generation ON

(using UE Extended plugin)

[mild hazel]

did you use native hdr

[silver stag]

Satisfactory doesn't have native HDR

[mild hazel]

yeah, so turn it on manually

via ini

SDR upgrade path is always going to have flickering highlights with FG unless you use DLSS fix

and upgrade path off if turning on ini hdr

either that or try dlss fix

[silver stag]

Hm never done it, is there any tutorial?

[silver stag]

the game has been crashing for me when I try to use DLSSFix and I don't know why

[mild hazel]

it happens

[mild hazel]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/discussions/563

this has instructions for different game, but same thing

[silver stag]

Thanks, I want to try getting DLSSFix working first because maybe I am just doing something basic incorrectly (posted my logs in DLSS FIX channel)

[oak solar]

You don't need dlss fix if you are using native HDR+ ue extended

[silver stag]

Thanks guys, I think I got it working

HDR is working, FG on, and no more flickering

[oak solar]

Nice!

[ebon dome]

works out of the box ❤️

[dusty girder]

@ebon dome what game is that?

[ebon dome]

Fatekeeper - launched in early access today

[dusty girder]

ah

[ebon dome]

it's a spiritual successor to Dark Messiah with my beloved kick button

[dusty girder]

looked like

co-op survival gather

for some reason

but its not

[ebon dome]

nope, just straight up first-person melee action RPG

[dusty girder]

ue extended?

[ebon dome]

yep

[dusty girder]

[ebon dome]

the in-game HDR option didn't seem to stick so I had to use the cvar but it works

[dusty girder]

wow only 8$

[ebon dome]

yeah, they said they wanted to reward people who believed in them from the start but it will be a full priced game at 1.0

[dusty girder]

fuck it I'll buy it

[covert python]

[ebon dome]

I've been obsessed with it since they announced it and I'm glad people are just saying fuck it, 8 bucks is nothing

word of mouth really helps a game like this

[dusty girder]

the heavy sword swings

reminded me of mordhau

[ebon dome]

[dusty girder]

did youy move the sliders

to make sure they work

like dechroma making the game black and white?

[ebon dome]

yep, it all works as far as I can see

[dusty girder]

most ue games share the same shaders

so as the mod grows, more and more games "just work"

[dusty girder]

ok yea mod gud

[dusty girder]

the fire looks really nice

[ebon dome]

I didn't even know the mod had dechroma but now I kind of want to play some games in black and white lol

[dusty girder]

pretty much all reno mods have it

sometimes its named blowout

[ebon dome]

for an $8 early access game to not only have megalights already but also properly mixed sound?

wow

[mild hazel]

you need U+ to enable megalights 🙂

the in game option doesnt work lol

[ebon dome]

the in-game options don't seem to work for a lot of things lol

[mild hazel]

needs unfucked autoexposure later too but I cant be bothered rn

it looks quite nice overall

[strong plaza]

Idk what this means but it sounds good lol

[vital knoll]

basically think of apl as, white box that u fit inside ur monitor screen, 50% APL means 50% sized box, so OLED currently dims even at 10% APL while MiniLED can do with ease

[wintry jay]

How?

[cold geode]

in Fatekeeper with renodx-ue-extended noticing that sky perhaps look a bit dull. it also flicker sometimes with brighter values. also when alt-tab sky is brighter for a few frames then dull again. probably need to try dlssfix

[silver stag]

I followed the Subnautica instructions Lazorr posted, except it's LocalAppData -> FactoryGame folder to start with since we're modifying Satisfactory

[wintry jay]

I got it working too, contrary to what it says in the Subnautica guide, Satisfactory apparently needs that one Upgrade. Ty for getting me on the right path though!

[mild hazel]

use ini hdr

and upgrade path off

in game toggle dont work

[silver stag]

The upgrade path is different from the engine .ini method

I was battling flickering DLSS Frame Generation and I had to enable native HDR of Unreal Engine to bypass that

The resulting HDR is the same but how you get there is different

[amber sapphire]

using latest unreal?

[amber sapphire]

what do you mean

[mild hazel]

turning hdr on via ini

[steel lion]

yeah this looks insane. Imagine a full AAA game with hese visuals.

[amber sapphire]

yeah it looks very good

[inner breach]

I bought it already but I'm working so I can't test it. how is the performance?

[amber sapphire]

I’m getting a black screen with Reno

[amber sapphire]

How did you get it to work with Reno? I get a black screen

[inner breach]

what reno are you using?

[amber sapphire]

UE Extended

[balmy sleet]

bro same as always

[inner breach]

#1411800884303626311 message

or use the SDR to HDR upgrade thing

[amber sapphire]

Ok that worked

[amber sapphire]

what command

[SystemSettings]
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1

[SystemSettings]
r.AllowHDR=1
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1

[sullen spoke]

i am in the process of having rhi automatically manage engine.ini settings and hdr upgrade path settings for ue-extended
should be 1 click for everything once i'm done

[amber sapphire]

oh awesome

seems that worked at least haha

[sullen spoke]

just got 30 games to go through now and make sure it worked on them all 🫡

[broken smelt]

very tl;dr do anyone know what causes this to happen during fade in

starts like this then goes back to normal

[solemn merlin]

wha gme is this

[shell igloo]

Fatekeeper

[solemn merlin]

game looks detailed asf

[mild hazel]

looks quite good overall, using nanite tesselation

not nearly as many visual problems as other games

biggest things are autoexposure, textures not loading/slowly loading especially when turning, megalights not enabling, low HW lumen quality, some reflection shimmering/pixelation especially on edges of certain objects, couple AO issues, also smearing/blurring of some textures during motion

[weary bough]

yeah Fatekeeper be looking really good

[west canopy]

You guys saying this game is a must buy? The launch price is attractive

[mild hazel]

I think its nice to look at and has potential but needs another year+ of dev to be a full game

[west canopy]

That would make a pretty strong case for supporting it during ea, so they can push this tough

[weary bough]

yeah it's super EA so don't expect much yet, going to be a while before it actually releases. But you will get it at a super discounted price now if you don't mind waiting and supporting the devs early

[west canopy]

Yeah it's not even about waiting but whether this eventually gets where it wants to be, would have to investigate this developer

[ebon dome]

They said they expect it to be in development for 18 months but it's already super fun. The bones for a great first person melee game are there.

[stable cliff]

Pardon my ignorance, but where can I download the lastest UE Extended? The Reno page only have the standard one.

[mild hazel]

pins or RHI

[stable cliff]

I want to buy it but it doesn't have controller support yet. In my current setup I can't do M/K comfortably.

[ebon dome]

That's super fair. I'd say also wait until it has a bit more meat on its bones unless you like getting in at the lowest ground floor possible.

[inner breach]

I bought it as a form of support for the devs

[tacit cape]

where should those go in an UE5 game if there's no .ini files in the binaries? is it like the updateluts everyframe that only sometimes works?

[mild hazel]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/discussions/563

[west canopy]

But they will add it right?

[amber sapphire]

There should be one after first launch. I had one

[dire ledge]

its in appdata under folder SLASHER after first launch

[stable cliff]

I'm not sure but I do hope so. It's like they went out of their way to not add it since it's even the very first UE5 demo on PC had controller support.

Maybe they don't want to add a half assed version of it which they would have to rework later, just speculating, but it is a bit odd you're releasing ea without it at all

Think about having to redesign the interface for it etc, if it's still early development that's then double the work

NTE HDR can't use the ingame photo screen shot UI and the Bagel needs it to upload pictures
Can it be fixed?

[west canopy]

What do you mean? Photo mode worked fine for me?

[ruby nova]

this UI can't be used with HDR

[west canopy]

This seems like a very common situation with pretty much every single game I played that lets you do in-game screenshots

[ruby nova]

[west canopy]

Youre saying the photos you capture ingame are not HDR?

[ruby nova]

This UI dissappear and Bagel need this to save image and upload image

[west canopy]

What's Bagel? Why upload? Where?

[ruby nova]

New SNS system ingame

[west canopy]

Oh from today's update? Haven't checked yet

So basically the minigame is broken?

[ruby nova]

yeah we have to disable HDR for this

for uploading image

[west canopy]

I see. Well it's just a one time minigame that might come back here and there to do photo stuff, annoying but whenever there's photo stuff going on in games where we inject HDR it's pretty common to be messed up

Maybe fixable but I wonder how much work this would be, and just for a crappy event...

[ruby nova]

I don't think it's crappy😅
but for event it seems to one time post

[charred solstice]

it's not fixable because UE has no HDR downsampler. The only way to fix this is find a way for the photo editor itself to get a function that doesn't exist.

interestingly every game I've tried so far with UE Extended crashes soon after launch on Linux, I wonder if it has something to do with the mods universal nature as game specific mods have worked fine so far.

[placid siren]

i fixed this in starfield actually. by tonemapping before it sends it to the CPU

[surreal bridge]

Stalker 2. We just use generic UE5 addon now ?
