Unity Engine

[light marsh]

All I did really is, apply reshade, use the Unity addon, set the game to Windowed and clicked AutoHDR Look.

It did help some, but other than using mods, I don't know much else 🤣

[main wharf]

Default upgrade covers a lot of cases tbh.
You can use Lilium's Analysis shader to figure out the rest.
On bottom left is colors graph, if stuck to smallest triangle even when bumping saturation all the way up game likely needs R11G11B10_float upgrade.
On bottom right you want to look for values above Game Nits value (default 203).

[light marsh]

Other mods require you to Disable Generic Depth and Effect Runtime Sync under the Addons tab. Is this required for the Unity Reno?

[main wharf]

Does any addon actually requires this?
Afaik disabling them is more to reduce ReShade's performance overhead by a slight, can help in most expensive games but I don't think it's a hard requirement.

[light marsh]

I see. Thank you so much Voosh

@woven crag

[woven crag]

yeah i saw that but no big deal they just gotta change some assets

it's so weird how this game just can't avoid controversies lol

[proper vine]

wonder if maybe they took it off to reset reviews?

how were the reviews for it anyway?

You'd think it'd be really easy to just take the assets out of the game

[woven crag]

reviews were good iirc but there were also allegations about some fake positive reviews

[storm vapor]

the addon works great in the We Were Here Tomorrow demo and in Chained Wheels (a friendslop game)

Google says it will be on Unity as well

Really interested how its gonna look with B&W

[hearty bronze]

i wouldnt expect it to work out-of-the-box

[main wharf]

Based on..?

[hearty bronze]

assuming the bw filter clamps

thats just a guess though

[sleek tangle]

did you get iracing working with Renodx? Was thinking of buying it on the steam sale

[kind kernel]

another b/w Unity game, White Shadows, just has its filter as a lut which doesn't clamp

[main wharf]

Huh? There are multiple supported b&w games already. You can achieve this easily with Unity's color grading (internal LUT) no matter used pipeline.
Add-on also upgrades baked LUTs, including unity store plugins ones.

[hearty bronze]

ah right i didnt think about luts 😛

[main wharf]

One-Eyed Likho would be another example

[main wharf]

Yet that's how most if not all Unity games do grading.

[hearty bronze]

thats kinda weird

doesnt it make user-defined grading settings more annoying to implement in games?

i guess those arent really options most of the time anyway

[main wharf]

Uhm, what do you mean by that?
LUTs aren't a new thing, usually games that don't make use of internal ones just make their own baked ones with an external software.

Fairly sure all pipelines support both.

[hearty bronze]

i guess im picturing baked luts here

or are they generated

[main wharf]

Not 100% sure how it goes on dev-side but I'd expect Unity provides neutral LUT, which devs can put in any color editing software and work on.

[hearty bronze]

right

realtime colour grading changes would have to be done outside of that lut though, right?

[main wharf]

Can use multiple ones along with lerps

Internal LUT has a bunch of effects and parameters, so unless grading change is really specific, that makes for an easy way to edit grading in realtime aswell.

[hearty bronze]

ah okay

[fiery vapor]

how does the addon rewrite look in Inertial Drift?

oh I just realised

inertial drift doesn't actually have the output shaders 😭

oh no it's even worse

in game and level select have different output shaders
nvm they don't but it's still weird

swapchain proxy crashes the game

current fix I found (in latest snapshot) to make HDR sliders work properly in this game is to set Blit Copy Hack to "Scaling Only" and set Scaling offset to 1

[main wharf]

This doesn't help crashes.

[main wharf]

Uhm, why are you using proxy though? I dont think game needs it, does it?

[main wharf]

I'm confused.

[fiery vapor]

oh no I didn't mean by crashes

[main wharf]

No idea, you probably should stick to snapshot

[fiery vapor]

there I edited my post oops

[main wharf]

I can't test rewrite with devkit being borked

[fiery vapor]

I took that back after that post

I'm glad the vignette is adjustable because it turns out it hides 90% of the brightness

although although getting rid of it does raise the black level significantly

but that's an easy fix with reshade, nothing to complain about really

I gotta post a pic I swear it looks much nicer

[main wharf]

I don't think that's intended, is it?
Again I would stick to latest snapshot.

[fiery vapor]

oh sorry this is talking about latest snapshot

[main wharf]

Aw I thought test version because of this.

[fiery vapor]

oops

[main wharf]

Cant remember this was needed before, was game updated?

[fiery vapor]

no.

could be caused by full version being ahead of the free prologue though

[bronze galleon]

Haven't tried again since last time, was too broken

[main wharf]

Still gotta check what's going on there, something with proxy seems broken with some RenoDX base code update.
Will try with latest code later this week, though devkit causes CTD when used along addon currently, makes things a bit tricky.

[bronze galleon]

Ouch

[sleek tangle]

I havent tried it yet, but I did try Special K HDR with iracing arcade and the colors were all broken

[bronze galleon]

@main wharf you should join the REPLACED server, I just did a shameless plug for RenoDX but after release gotta show them how wonderful their game looks in RenoDX HDR

Some actually native RenoDX implementation would be cool af

[lapis schooner]

@main wharf

played circa 5mins

[bronze galleon]

TY TY TY

[bronze galleon]

Hopefully there's nothing new and mod doesn't need an update

1min remaining for install...

Fucking Galaxy decided to throttle on me today of all days

[regal moth]

thankfully only 5 gbs

[lapis schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/the-big-lebowski-the-stranger-sam-elliott-hat-tip-howdy-gif-11666419562938405066

i did try reno and it did seem to work but said missing shaders so thought might as well share

[lapis schooner]

i do actually want to play it so... sorry i guess? 😛

[bronze galleon]

Yeah, do be sorry for your sins

(= enjoy the fuck out of it !)

But yeah, just new game sequence is fucked

Need mod update

[main wharf]

Incoming... Though for some reason snapshot fails building with latest commits.

So it's gonna be here

[dense thorn]

Ouuuuh replaced is out?

[bronze galleon]

[regal moth]

anyone else stuttering or just a me thing?

[main wharf]

Aw, this should be fixed when I rebase with latest renodx code. Though I'm not sure I wanna do this for now.
It's just something with dependencies, submodules or whatever. The "external" folder, looks like things got mixed up when I locally updated submodules to latest but only on secondary branch, not main one... Anyway, will see later.

[main wharf]

I sent a message, will see if they ever respond. Tried to give a couple hints so they might not even need help or an HDR monitor to make it. It should be relatively easy I think assuming Unity provides everything that's needed.

[main wharf]

Here. Thanks for dump as usual!
@bronze galleon @regal moth

[bronze galleon]

Thanks for that, hopefully they'll take it into consideration seriously

[bronze galleon]

[regal moth]

Thanks!

[bronze galleon]

TY TY TY

[lapis schooner]

damn that was quick!

[main wharf]

Hopefully I didn't mess anything up. Feels weird to work on old code after spending so many hours on addon rewrite xD

[main wharf]

One single shader, took longer to compile than edit, especially after laptop went in eco mode (low battery/no charger as I'm at work now).
If there's an issue I'll only be able to look into it tonite (in 5 hours or so).
Probably will get game anyway.

[bronze galleon]

Yeah get it first, enjoy it !

Damn film grain do be strong af in this one

And Reno can't do anything about it unfortunately 🙁

[main wharf]

Oh yea I just added Bloom slider I think.

Will do rest later

[lapis schooner]

flashbanged

[bronze galleon]

Take your time man, it's 100% playable, works as expected for the most important : the game looks gorgeous ootb

[main wharf]

cant open .jxr on phone

[lapis schooner]

you dont want to trust me

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[bronze galleon]

I do want to trust you tho

[lapis schooner]

Slipped up by a missing apostrophe

[bronze galleon]

Wonder why it would for him

[main wharf]

Seems like Linux shenanigan, though I understand they fixed it?

[bronze galleon]

Oh apparently yes 🙂 Hadn't followed up, relieved 🙂

[main wharf]

@last scarab hope you don't mind the ping.
Here's current working build in REPLACED.
Haven't been able to update snapshot got some issue with github currently.
Though I'll also add more Effects sliders by tomorrow, currently only Bloom one would work.

[last scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-emoji-rage-gif-17640294432761192580

lol last i played a 2d game was a decade, this'll be a treat

[lapis schooner]

technically it's 2.5D

[bronze galleon]

They've done such an impressive job with the depth

WTF, how do I spoiler pictures

[lapis schooner]

when you upload it, button

[bronze galleon]

HDR REPLACED w/ RenoDX Unity (first is with defaults except Reinhard + BT 1886 and the others are at contrast 60 - damn I love THAT look)

[bronze galleon]

Fucking noob moment ngl

Might have redone the prologue like 5 times now, with various settings, that's really the ones I'll stick to I think

Moving 3 sliders, looking forward to moving a 4th one for film grain but that's it really, doesn't need any retouching

Tho admittedly, sometimes there's this odd mismatch in brightness between source lights and their reflections

But apart from that, it's really all one could ask for ❤️

[lapis schooner]

yeah i noticed this

[last nexus]

@bronze galleon is it possible to native hdr neva ?

doesn't seem the work with the unity mod

[bronze galleon]

Yeah it works fine for me

[last nexus]

doesn't go above 203 nits

:/

[bronze galleon]

I mean is it even supposed to ?

Game is kinda flat brightness wise

[last nexus]

idk in my book not going above 203 nits = sdr clamp

[bronze galleon]

Yeah ig

[last nexus]

so basically not working

[bronze galleon]

I mean I can for sure push sliders around and it works but I wouldn't

[last nexus]

no it's oesn't

[bronze galleon]

UI can be bright af too

[last nexus]

i mean sliders do stuff

but seems clamped to 203 nits

[bronze galleon]

[last nexus]

let's say the game is conservative i understand

but if i push highlights at 100

it should go above 203

so it's just sdr

[fading cradle]

Is there any plans to support SDR mod in Replaced ? Maybe there is something to improve in this range ?

[main wharf]

SDR? Uhm. You can set Peak, Game and UI Brightnesses to 80 I guess, but I think you're better off just playing without mod at this point.
Unless you want the grading sliders maybe? I guess you can set tonemapper to Vanilla for this purpose, will keep game's original SDR tonemapping and should still allow to use grading (and effects) sliders.

[main wharf]

Assuming game brightness is 203, then most likely yea.
I guess some upgrade could be missing if you use DSR/VSR..? Default RGBA8_typeless might have to be set to Output Ratio in that case.

[last nexus]

using neither

tried all upgrades and proxy swapchain no success

didn't try output ratio

lemee see

that was it

you're a god damn genius

[main wharf]

I don't think game has any resolution scaling setting, does it?
So this doesn't make sense.
Another particular case is if game's aspect ratio differs from monitor's aspect ratio, e.g game is forced 16/9 on 21/9 monitor, with letter/pillar boxing. In which case one should set upgrade to Any Size...

[main wharf]

Wut. Well no idea why, but glad it worked lmfao.

[last nexus]

was just output ratio yeah

[median anchor]

Just about to start neva also, what do I need to do?

[main wharf]

Change RGBA8_typeless in Resources Upgrades from Output Size to Output Ratio it seems.
It's the only upgrade that's not disabled by default.

I find it a bit odd this is needed though... Usually that's when some resolution scaling occurs, VSR/DSR or when game's internal resolution is locked for example to 1440p on 4K desktop.

[median anchor]

I also have to set game brightness to 80 for stuff to look reasonable, is that expected?

[bronze galleon]

Neva needs to be set to gamma if it isn't automatically

[main wharf]

Should be automatic since I updated add-on after your report. Pretty sure that's already in latest snapshot.

[exotic wraith]

Replaced is just the latest unity Reno build? Any specific settings?

[main wharf]

Use this build for REPLACED.

Having issues with github lately so I can't update snapshot.
Still quite busy at work, though I'm off next couple days, will try to solve this so I can keep snapshot updated.

[exotic wraith]

Ok thanks!

[main wharf]

As for settings... Can't remember. Maybe RG11B10_float upgrade if colors are clamped to bt709 space.

[exotic wraith]

Kk will try it out

[last nexus]

SDR vs HDR with 65 highlights

[fading cradle]

I just remember how great the mod for Silksong turned out, because of this, I will find out in the game I like, but will there be any improvement if it is needed specifically for the SDR color range 🙂 I'm not an expert, but when I saw the difference in Silksong, I realized that sometimes developers can't bring everything to mind.
Maybe Replaced doesn't need any adjustments, for example, in color bitness ( i mean 10 bits or 12 bit ), or maybe it does, I don't know 🙂 So I played for an hour and a half and I want to say that during the postponement of the game from March to April, the developers clearly did something, in a good way, with the visual part of the game. In addition to a smoother picture, there were 1-2 statters, graphically it looks cleaner or better.

[sleek tangle]

how is it? does it have native hdr?

[main wharf]

It has a demo you can try.
And native HDR only with RenoDX currently.

[spice flume]

Hello friends, which rendering API do I select for Replaced?

(when installing reshade)

[lapis schooner]

game seems locked to bt.709 looking at lilium sliders, turned on R11G11B10_FLOAT to any size and the main menu has some DCI-P3 color but havent seen any in game yet

[main wharf]

I see.
Afaik Silksong doesn't originally have any kind of tonemapping. It just clips highlights in SDR.
In that case RenoDX allows to display more details even in SDR, by compressing the extra range into 0-1 instead of game just cutting anything above 1. As for bitness, I believe Silksong fully renders using 8bit resource formats, hence the upgrade.

REPLACED makes use of a tonemapper, so it's a different case. It also already renders in higher bitness without any mod so don't expect that big of a change really.

The main benefit would be Color grading and Effects sliders really.

[main wharf]

Yea I seemed to remember this from demo. Any size might be overkill, but might not harm either. Output size is likely enough.

[main wharf]

Dx11/dx12

[lapis schooner]

it's dx11

[spice flume]

Thanks guys

[spice flume]

Yeah it's the same option as DX12

[main wharf]

Doesn't make a difference for ReShade installer yea

[lapis schooner]

true

[main wharf]

Ah lol or you meant I typo'd, wrote twice dx12 xd

[lapis schooner]

output size wasn't enough to upgrade menu to dci-p3, you get 5% dci-p3 with any size

[main wharf]

Alright, gud to know.

[lapis schooner]

barely seen any in game though, like a 0.5% maybe when moving between areas for a brief half second

[main wharf]

As long as it's not clamped even if you push saturation up, all good.

[lapis schooner]

pushing it to 60 changes BT709 to 66% and DCI-P3 33% and the color grading changes

in game its more like 99.97% / 0.02%

[main wharf]

Yea all good then.

[main wharf]

Will depend on scene really, but at least it's not clamped.

[spice flume]

Looks pretty neat

Hmm my reshade screenshot is showing up quite differently to how it was in game

[main wharf]

Might depend how you view it. E.g Firefox can't display HDR pics properly. Dunno about Windows default image viewer, someone mentionned they had to download some extension (I assume from Microsoft Store) for it to display HDR pics properly.

[spice flume]

Ah normally they look fine when sent into discord

maybe im just placebo maxxing

[main wharf]

Added Film Grain slider (and RenoDX's perceptual film grain) to REPLACED.

[bronze galleon]

You're the best, Man ❤️

Thanks so much

[main wharf]

Aw, also added default upgrades for the game, so R11G11B10_float will be Any Size when first booting addon.
And I attempted to fix snapshot not building... It would fail almost instantly and now it seems to be building so far. There's hope

[bronze galleon]

Github do be temperamental I guess ?

[main wharf]

I noticed UI is clamped in code. Will experiment later with unclamping it and rolling off instead.

[bronze galleon]

Really ?

Can be pushed rather high it seems

[main wharf]

Uhm from what I get from code it should only hit whatever UI Brightness is set to.

[bronze galleon]

Sounds.. normal ?

[main wharf]

Yeaa that's expected indeed. But how about... HDR UI..? 🙈

[bronze galleon]

I mean more 300 nits is already too much for me but it does reach that easily

150 is my typical sweet spot usually

[main wharf]

There's a bloom pass on UI only, and it's then clamped. I'm not fan of the result, especially that very first "scene" (written intro).
I already have "UI Behavior" slider in addon, might aswell make use it 😅
It'd be optional to unclamp it pretty much

[bronze galleon]

Interesting

I suppose this is a change from the demo which had UI pretty raw

[main wharf]

More like me not having a clue how it works. I stick to the workflow @crimson spear taught me, everything goes well. As soon as I do something slightly different, I'm just lost lmao. Shit's complicated.

Things went wrong when I started working on addon update with most recent RenoDX basecode, while keeping snapshot/main branch to outdated RenoDX basecode (until I make sure most recent doesn't break anything).

Somehow main branch ended up getting part of the most updated stuff (\external folder, submodules or whatever they're called) and would fail building with the following error:
No url found for submodule path 'external/json' in .gitmodules

I managed to find this commit: chore(deps): add nlohmann/json submodule at v3.12.0 from 13th March.
For now rebased main branch until this commit as I don't want snapshot to be incompatible with devkit (which would be the case with most recent RenoDX basecode).
Hopefully will do the trick... Will see in an hour or so.

Still building... There's HOPE

[main wharf]

Aw wait nvm. The part I was thinking about isn't even UI, the very first written intro is actually part of render 🤦

Oooh, LUT scaling seems nice here.

[sour drum]

psycho tm coming (someday) with a revamped version?

[main wharf]

Been working on that yea. No ETA there's still a lot to do, not counting psychotm also is work-in-progress. I'll try to share another test build this week after I do some testing and make sure it's usable at least in some games.
Don't get your hopes up tho, there'll be broken stuff and it won't support all currently supported games at first. Will likely be a month at least before I actually update snapshot to that.

[main wharf]

Heeeh yea, I think it does what it's supposed to do... Nice.

Snapshot still building... Cursed days soon be past hopefully 🙈

VICTORY!!!

[sour drum]

so kind of similar to ue extended situation?

[main wharf]

Uhm, maybe I don't know.

[sour drum]

a major revamp of the mod that'll break a lot of games short term, but is better long term, merged with main whenever its done, I mean

[bronze galleon]

This is just LUT scaling ? 😮

[main wharf]

Yes, internal LUT one. From 0 to 100

[main wharf]

It's my own function there hence why it's disabled by default. I have no confidence to the point I'm still surprised when it works as intended lmfao

[bronze galleon]

You should trust yourself more

Time and time again you do great and when sometimes you don't, you fix stuff pretty quickly 🙂

[crimson spear]

Blackfloor scaling only?

[bronze galleon]

Man thank you soooo damn much for the film gran slider now working in Replaced

Settled on vanilla at 25

They went too hard imo but this is a nice sweet spot

[main wharf]

Yea. I don't work on lut sampling as RenoDX function does, but rather edit the one responsible function in lutbuilder. Lift Gamma Gain

float3 liftGammaGain(float3 input, float3 lift, float3 gamma, float3 gain){
  return sign(input) * pow(abs(input * gain + lift), gamma);
}

float3 liftGammaGainScaling(float3 lifted, float3 original, float3 lift, float3 gamma, float3 gain, int encoding = 0){
  // 0 - linear bt709, 1 - linear ap1, 2 - srgb
  if(injectedData.colorGradeInternalLUTScaling == 0.f){return lifted;} else {
    float3 new_gain = 2.f * (pow(liftGammaGain(0.5f, lift, gamma, gain), 1 / gamma) - liftGammaGain(0.f, lift, gamma, gain));
    float3 new_lift = pow(liftGammaGain(0.f, lift, gamma, gain), 1 / gamma);
    float3 unclamped = original < (0.5).xxx ? liftGammaGain(original, new_lift, gamma, new_gain) : lifted;
    float3 unclamped_linear;
    float3 lifted_linear;
    if(encoding == 2){
      lifted_linear = renodx::color::srgb::DecodeSafe(lifted);
      unclamped_linear = renodx::color::srgb::DecodeSafe(unclamped);
    } else if (encoding == 1){
      lifted_linear = renodx::color::bt709::from::AP1(lifted);
      unclamped_linear = renodx::color::bt709::from::AP1(unclamped);
    } else if (encoding == 0) {
      lifted_linear = lifted;
      unclamped_linear = unclamped;
    }
    float lifted_y = renodx::color::y::from::BT709(abs(lifted_linear));
    float unclamped_y = renodx::color::y::from::BT709(abs(unclamped_linear));
    float3 scaled_linear = lifted_linear * renodx::math::DivideSafe(unclamped_y, lifted_y, 1.f);
    float3 output = lerp(lifted_linear, scaled_linear, injectedData.colorGradeInternalLUTScaling);
  if(encoding == 2){
    output = renodx::color::srgb::EncodeSafe(output);
  } else if (encoding == 1){
    output = renodx::color::ap1::from::BT709(output);
  } else if (encoding == 0) {}
  return output;
}
}

Something about calculating new lift, gamma and gain values based on 0 remaining 0 and replacing old values with new ones. @desert herald had a good explanation on this method somewhere, might be in HDR Den though.

[crimson spear]

I guess unity has a cbuffer for gain?

[main wharf]

For lift, gamma and gain yea.

The only thing I don't understand is the 0.5 split. Got that from trying shit on desmos, function would break above 0.5 without it.

[main wharf]

Yea, in comparison perceptual seems invisible. I'll do perceptual at 75 or something like that when I play

[main wharf]

Snapshot's updated, yaaaay!

[bronze galleon]

[fading cradle]

Can I have an exact link, please? I know one link, but I'm not sure if it's the right one or not.

[main wharf]

Always the same, it's in first pinned message:
64-bit
32-bit

[fading cradle]

Or you can link to the github page, since I have a 404 error.

[dense thorn]

looks neat

[fading cradle]

I just wanted to take a look, maybe besides unity, you have some descriptions on the page, maybe there are some sections.

[dense thorn]

does the game have UW support? bit surprised by those blackbars in your screens xd

[jaunty thorn]

@main wharf should we force LUT shaper to vanilla for correct output ?

[main wharf]

It does yea, no window-boxing in UW it's alright.
Though game has some weird shenanigan going on when resizing window, that was Windowed 2560x1440 on 3440x1440 monitor, which seems to break somehow. Also game somehow has 3441*1440 resources in Borderless Window, it's as if their UW support was slightly borked. But it works!

[main wharf]

Uhm shouldn't with latest snapshot, so make sure to use that. Date in addon's UI should be today's.

[main wharf]

I assume you're getting warning about LUT Shaper, which would only occur with outdated addon. I added support for full game yesterday with this build, and was only able to update snapshot a bit earlier today.

[dense thorn]

thx for info

prolly gonna cop that soon then

[jaunty thorn]

yes thx, the last build works perfectly

[main wharf]

Not really. Well addon is hosted here for now. As for "descriptions", closest thing would be this thread's pinned messages and RenoDX's wiki page.

[main wharf]

Weird, link seems to work fine here. Tried another browser or maybe just private navigation? Maybe blocked by some extension or something.

[bronze galleon]

Could RenoDX somehow tone the weird DoF down somehow or is it out of scope ?

Some scenes it works perfectly but others idk what the hell they did but it's nonsensical

Like it will blur the background which is just like a couple meters aways from the focused on characters and action, as well as forefront of the scene, and it just feels off

[night mural]

what settings do you use? can you ss

[main wharf]

I don't have a DoF slider, do I? 😅
Joke aside yea probably can look into it and hook it to Lens slider bcoz I'm lazy to make a new one.

[bronze galleon]

No you don't, hence the out of scope part 😉 But don't bother really, it was just out of curiosity, if it's more the scope of another dedicated mod, better let that task to such mod

[main wharf]

Nah should be doable in that shader I'm already editing anyway, will have a look soon.

[ember fog]

Ooo this is nice. Thanks for working on replaced. Might have to buy this soon

[night mural]

is it possible we can get a thread for replaced?

[bronze galleon]

Okie dokie 🙂 Well thanks a lot if only for considering it 😉

[main wharf]

Might not have time to play before tomorrow maybe so not sure yet.
I usually stick to default for most settings anyway, especially when they look that close to original SDR/"intended look".

My current go-to's would be:

• lower Game's Brightness (80) and UI Brightness (100 or 110). This is me playing in full dark room.
• tone down bloom a bit (25/30).
• increase LUT Scaling (both) to 100 (though in REPLACED there's no User LUT, only Internal).
• change Film Grain Type to Perceptual and adjust its intensity to my liking (I really enjoy grain, probably more than the average).

That's pretty much it to be honest.

[main wharf]

Like crimson-desert one..? I have nothing against personally but I genuinely don't think game's that notorious tbh, is it? Nor is this Unity thread much active anyway, so it'll likely be all about REPLACED for some time.

Aw nvm, crimson desert is a channel. Yea I dunno, doesn't make sense unless game gets a dedicated mod, which won't be from me.

[summer hinge]

For the mod to work in replaced, we just have to download the generic unity mod from github and then roll with the defaults correct ?

[main wharf]

Wait, from what I'm reading game actually has letterboxing for 16/9 users...
lmfao it's not a bug, it's intended. I just thought not because it doesn't happen on 21/9 monitor. So I guess that's how game's supposed to be played, 21/9

UW wins, noice. Don't think I've seen this except Hellblade 2

[dense thorn]

devs established the UW superiority

[ember fog]

Even better reason for me to buy it

[main wharf]

Yup'

[night mural]

yeah i was playing on my tv and it was like a movie but im gonna try on my 5k2k tomorrow

[young garnet]

meanwhile current game and last game I've played don't support 21:9

[main wharf]

Here, maybe. DoF slider it is.
To be honest I remember already being lazy to add one for at least a couple games, as it wouldn't be used for most, but that's also true for other Effects sliders, not every game has Lens Dirt yet I have a slider sooooo...
Now to remember and revisit the few games/shaders I can hook new slider to. 😅

[bronze galleon]

Right when I had just booted the game up again

[hearty sandal]

Any chance you could do the vignette as well?

[main wharf]

Wait is there a vignette..? Mmh true I didn't look for this

Time to boot game again I guess

[bronze galleon]

Oh game is updating now anyway, nice

[main wharf]

Ok yea there is. Quite light I didn't notice, but yea I can do. New build incoming very soon™

[bronze galleon]

Damn, it rocks ! Thanks so much yet again ❤️

[lapis schooner]

what is weird about it? it's just an artistic choice and i see no issue with it

don't get people's hate boner for dof

[bronze galleon]

I would agree but the scene where you ||meet Tempest's Dog|| just made me go fuck that, no way this makes any sense even artistically

Can't fucking blur a background which is just 2 meters behind AND blur the fuck out of everything at the scene forefront

Or if you do, just a bit less

So far, halving the slider to 50 makes it way more appreciable for me

[hearty sandal]

Lol yeah... I can never not notice a vignette. Such a distracting effect to me. I appreciate it!

[bronze galleon]

It's about DoF tho, not Vignette

[lapis schooner]

vignette is not nearly the same thing as dof

[hearty sandal]

I was responding to voosh, sorry

[bronze galleon]

Oh, my bad

[main wharf]

I would remove original DoF with Cinematic Unity Explorer to replace it with IGCSDoF shader when attempting to take "advanced" shots, but in this game CUE can't toggle any of the post-processing, likely because custom stuff.
So slider's actually very welcome, even if not for gameplay.

[main wharf]

Hooked Vignette slider to game's Vignette (REPLACED), thanks @hearty sandal for letting me know.

[bronze galleon]

So far DoF 50 really is super nice

Keeps artistic intent but without overdoing it

Like Film Grain 🙂

Man, Kal cooked HARD with his latest Unity focused builds

Dropped PCL latency by a crazy 5ms overall at a locked 120fps

[main wharf]

Oh, Morbid Metal released earlier this month..?

Remember trying demo, was a bit boring but game looks nice.

Aw, is early access 😞

No roadmap 😞😞

Should come soon though, mmh

We know many of you are eager to see what’s coming next. We’ll be revealing the full Early Access roadmap during Find Your Next Game (FYNG) — April 17. Save the date!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1866130/Morbid_Metal/

Will wait for more info, but at this price I might grab it just to take pics in it, at least until more content comes.

[night mural]

am i meant to do any of this for replaced?

[bronze galleon]

Wish the Wingman's brightness wasn't broken lol some neat keybinds to up it or lower it would be so nice, maybe I should ask the devs, but there's lore reasons so idk

[main wharf]

Afaik, no.
The following point about Colors being clamped to BT-709 => Upgrade R11G11B10_float: technically yes, but I made this happen automatically for this game since latest snapshot. So you should already have R11G11B10_float set to Any Size by default (in REPLACED).

Bruh.

[main wharf]

Wingman no longer breaks while using a fast scroll feature (horizontal movement) on a Brightness setting

[bronze galleon]

Not sure they did tho, that's on latest GOG patch

(maybe Steam is one patch ahead)

[main wharf]

It is I think yea. v1080 on Steam and v1077 on GoG

[bronze galleon]

Bruh

But good to know it's coming soon 🙂

[bronze galleon]

Actually it's just fixing a game breaking bug

You'd get stuck on Wingman and no controls would do anything anymore besides scrolling its wheel up or down but couldn't back out of it, so Alt+F4 and reload...

[main wharf]

Woops. Well maybe it's still included in "Some minor visual fixes"...
Else maybe you should report whatever's going on, devs seem pretty reactive

[bronze galleon]

When asking about it, they made it clear it's supposed to be broken so it's lore reasons

The only downside is it's very context dependent as in one place it will be nice to read, in others like right under a strong light it will be quite harsh

[twin wharf]

Ultrawide monitors/game with internal resolution not matching monitor => use dedicated mod to get proper resolution or some generic app (e.g. Borderless Gaming). Else needs R8G8B8A8_typeless from Output Size to Any Size.
Why do you recommend Borderless Gaming?
SK has a TON of Unity features for fixing input, and frame pacing in addition to all of the functionality of Borderless Gaming 🙂

[main wharf]

Because I'm ignorant. 😆
Will update.

[fading cradle]

Considering the new update for the game, will your mod be updated, or is nothing broken and the mod version is the same?

[main wharf]

Doubt update breaks mod. If it ever happens lemme know, but gameplay fixes and such shouldn't affect mod.

[dusky vault]

100 LUT scaling looks nice but crushes a lot of detail near the edges of the screen. I think 50 is a good balance

[main wharf]

Is it mod or your screen? Analysis looked ok towards that when I tested, though I am doubtful about scaling function so might be an issue I dunno.

[main wharf]

^

[twilit osprey]

Replaced - i am getting red error from reshade and notification in lower right with the newest file. is defender detecting it or is it a setting i need to do? the previous add-on of voosh works every time, this new one gives me an error. using game pass version for Replaced.

[main wharf]

Screenshot of the error pls.

[dusky vault]

0 vs 100

Not my screen, my screen has raised near blacks

But see how the objects in the foreground lose detail

LUT Scaling 75

I think 75 looks good here

[main wharf]

Vignette happens after grading/scaling/tonemapping, still not sure what you mean though.

[dusky vault]

The latches on the crate are no longer visible at 100, the seats blend in with the carpet in the bottom right, the armrest is barely visible, the object on the very left is no longer visible

Turning vignette to 0 doesn't help much

But LUT scaling at 75 retains all these details so I think it's a good balance

[main wharf]

For reference.

Aw there goes 0.5 again

[twilit osprey]

@main wharf this time defender didnt block it, it worked. but i am getting 203 nits, not working. see anything in the settings? it is set to 1000 nits.

[main wharf]

Yes. Under resources upgrades click both colored reset buttons 🔄 to set RGBA8_typeless and RG11B10 upgrades back to default.

[twilit osprey]

yes, this worked, thank you. do you personally use black floor raise fix by lilium on this? it kinda helped with the previous addon file. it helped with the greyish blacks.

[dusky vault]

Try increasing LUT scaling

[twin wharf]

🤣
I forgot messing with the Unity Fixed Delta Time breaks physics in a lot of platformers.
I set it slightly above the 50 Hz, just enough to improve smoothness but not break physics in an immediately apparent way last night.
This morning I come back to Replaced with that slightly adjusted delta time and I spend 10 minutes wondering why I can't make a certain jump...
I am my own worst enemy.

[bronze galleon]

You should reach out to Sad Cats Studio & tell them how to make their game smoother, I asked them during the demo phase if they could untie their physics to that fixed delta time but they should receive & understand it better coming from you

[twin wharf]

Oh cool. I usually assume these developers are unreachable and don't bother 🙂
Helps to be playing games from smaller developers.

[bronze galleon]

Yeah they're quite reachable, after all we do play as R.E.A.C.H

https://discord.gg/v5Q3Vrcws

Reach Devbetter if I may dare

[verbal lotus]

Iirc the recent Super Monkey Ball game that released on Switch had this error and John from Digital Foundry pointed this exact issue out and the devs fixed it. Hope that Sad Cat does the same! Seems like such a small thing that can improve the experience for so many

[main wharf]

What previous addon file, on which game?
No in general BFF along RenoDX out of the box sounds overkill. You can use BFF after setting RenoDX's EOTF to Off. They pretty much do the same thing.

[sweet mural]

Why does film grain disappear from some areas once a certain brightness level is reached?

1000 vs 400 nits

[dense thorn]

perceptual filmgrain does this

very dark areas have most grain, becoming less and less the brighter it gets

its probably more complicated than this but im not big brain enough for that

[sweet mural]

It doesn't look good in motion

[twin wharf]

Cool 🙂
SK has become somewhat transformative for Unity engine games in the last year, with fixes for PlayStation controllers and massively improved frame pacing and fixedDeltaTime stuff for smooth animation.
Thankfully with recent work on RenoDX/ReShade 6.7.0+ compatibility, it just works out-of-the-box in all Unity games tested now too.

RenoDX on its own can do Borderless stuff though, can't it? Can't really see why Borderless Gaming is a thing anyone needs.

[main wharf]

Last time I tried RenoDX's force borderless flag wouldn't resize window to fit screen, which is the point of using SRWE, Borderless Gaming or such.

[main wharf]

Yup' perceptual grain does, though I think here is vanilla one. Just pushed a fix so it keeps its original behavior of applying everywhere highlights included.

[main wharf]

Should be fixed here, thanks for letting me know!

[sweet mural]

Yes, thanks a lot ❤️
Those film grain "blind spots" seem to be gone now

[lapis schooner]

is there a film grain disable now?

[main wharf]

Film Grain slider in Effects yea. Set to 0 to disable, but you can also either increase/decrease it or switch to Perceptual (ShortFuse's) film grain.

[fallen linden]

@unborn current Figured this would be a good spot to ask. I am about to try the unity mod in prism peak. Have you tried it out yet?

[main wharf]

No demo no try 😞
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

[fallen linden]

seems to work just fine

only issue is dropping down to medium settings causes it to clamp, but w/e

the default upgrade worked just fine

[main wharf]

Any details on what changes between high and medium? Feel free to add devkit and dump shaders with graphics set to medium, maybe I can figure what's going on.

Though depending what they do, it may actually be a resource upgrade matter. Like maybe render resolution is reduced, so RGBA8_typeless has to be Output Ratio. And/or maybe they use FSR1/EASU which usually requires RGB10A2_typeless upgrade...

[fallen linden]

I tried output ratio, but no luck

haven't tried any size or rgb10

[main wharf]

Both are worth a shot. They could be reducing internal LUT size (assuming game even uses one) in which case only Any Size would upgrade it (RGBA8_typeless)

If that doesn't work then it's likely code, though I kinda doubt there's extra code with "lower" settings, sounds odd.

[fallen linden]

I threw rgb8 and 10 to any size and its unclamped

rgb8 on any size is what did the trick

weird how output ratio didn't do it

[main wharf]

^

Internal LUT could be 1024x32 with High setting, and 256x16 with Medium, maybe.

[fallen linden]

weird

[main wharf]

Or they could be doing some weird resolution scaling thing where scaling happens in two passes, horizontal then vertical or the opposite. Though I don't remember seeing this in any Unity game... Dragon Age Inquisition does that and its pretty old now.

[main wharf]

Addon has hardcoded 1024x32 resource upgrade, hence why that one always happen. I didn't add 256x16 yet because I've been trying to resize LUT to 1024x32 in this case... Small LUT really isn't good for color accuracy and it gets worse with HDR. No luck so far tho

[unborn current]

No it unlocked at 3 am and I have work

I was planning to do a play through and investigate the options for reno after

[main wharf]

Seems to work out of the box with Graphic settings higher than Medium. Setting Medium or below requires to change default upgrade (RGBA8_typeless) to Any Size.

[unborn current]

But it looks like it's half figured out

[sour drum]

Superhot MCD crashes with the devkit + swapchain proxy, any ideas why?
It's missing shaders, I can't dump the remaining ones

It also worked before, I dumped it partially last month, just didn't get it all

[main wharf]

• (You don't need addon to dump shaders, just devkit.)
• Crash can occur when addon and devkit aren't built with same RenoDX basecode. So let's say you updated addon to latest, then you also have to redownload devkit from pinned message.
  Also getting devkit from main repo won't work because current Unity Engine addon is built on older source.

[sour drum]

oh, so you can dump without the mod?

with SDR swapchain?

[bronze galleon]

That's the whole point of dumping shaders, SDR shaders so mods can be updated with them to upgrade to HDR properly

[sour drum]

yeah that I know, I just assumed you need hdr swapchain too for some reason

[bronze galleon]

For some Reno mods fixing native HDR yeah, but not for most

[main wharf]

Yup

[ornate wave]

@main wharf MOUSE P.I has no peak brightness slider idk if it has anything to do that the game is black and white and also sliders dont work only ui slider

[sour drum]

this is probably it, but idk for sure

it seems to fully work, some highlights are just clamped

[ornate wave]

@main wharf this are the shaders for mouse p.i

[torn rose]

Hehe, i was about to post same thing

[main wharf]

I'll check in a bit when at home thanks.

Tho no peak slider is scary, game may be using custom shaders.

[ornate wave]

xD

[ornate wave]

d4mn

[crimson spear]

Finished REPLACED, looks phenomenal with the mod!

[sour drum]

will probably get broken with constant updates idk, but here's the dump anyway (missing output shader)

[main wharf]

Break on update not necessarily. Depends on pipeline and what gets updated I guess.
Was it working previously?

[sour drum]

not sure, first time testing it. marked like this on the wiki

[main wharf]

Ah, the ???? is usually someone who reported it works but without specifying upgrades so I added this until it's filled 😅

Yup. 8 months ago, dang

The TAA thing was fixed it seems. So yea I guess updates broke it again, all good will check dump

[quick robin]

could some one make the hdr for replaced pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

-_-

i like the game very much 👉 👈

[main wharf]

Bruh.

[quick robin]

whut?

[main wharf]

Tried using search?

[quick robin]

i did the only message which pop ups is mine

[quick robin]

whut?

.............

[quick robin]

i cant see the link wtf

[main wharf]

Even this I dunno

[main wharf]

Link of..? Add-on? It's pinned in this thread or on RenoDX github wiki.

[quick robin]

is the same , the link to the addon but weird cant find it

well let me take a look. Sorry for being stupid

[main wharf]

Oldest pinned/first message of the thread.

[bronze galleon]

Or this one

[quick robin]

is universal?

[main wharf]

Unity Engine add-on

[quick robin]

ohhhhhh thats why

could find it becasue is universal duh

[main wharf]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Mods#unity-engine

[quick robin]

should i just add it to the folder and done?

or do i need to activate something in the game?

[main wharf]

Same as any other RenoDX addon

[quick robin]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm i dont see any hdr option

in the game thats why im just asking

[main wharf]

Add-on adds HDR to SDR games.

[bronze galleon]

The day you see an HDR option in an Unity game plz ring me up

[quick robin]

oh ok voosh thank you very much

will try now, sorry to bother you

[main wharf]

It's ok. Didn't expect search to include that many results. Tho some scrolling would have gotten you there ngl

[quick robin]

the game crashes with the default name of reshade

which one do i sopouse to be renaming to?

[main wharf]

I don't think it had to do with dxgi naming.
Maybe exclusive fullscreen mode? Or some overlay (RTSS, Nvidia App...)

[quick robin]

im not using any overlay

is just crashing

[proper vine]

You don’t use borderless?!

[quick robin]

reshade 6.73

[hearty sandal]

dxgi.dll works fine for me

[quick robin]

then why in the hell is crashing on me?

[main wharf]

Boot game without ReShade or without add-on and change fullscreen mode to borderless window.

Aka very first sentence in pinned troubleshooting message. 😅

For real tho why the hell do Unity games still default to FSE in 2026...

[quick robin]

dindt liked it eighter

in borderless

im using the ms store version btw

[main wharf]

Send ReShade log please

[quick robin]

is renamed now to dxgi

but is the same

[hearty sandal]

D:\games\REPLACED-InsaneRamZes\renodx-unityengine.addon64 🤔

[quick robin]

yeah my guy

i read that before sending it xD

cant afford im from venzuela too expensive

with D3D11.dll didnt crashed. Thanks

[main wharf]

Lol didn't notice, thanks.

[main wharf]

Well yea I really dunno what goes on with non-legit version of games, so you're a bit on your own there. Glad this did the trick, tho as people said it works fine with ReShade as dxgi.dll, at least for GoG and Steam versions. Dunno about MS one, but I played a few other Unity games on Game Pass and dxgi.dll would work fine aswell. Might be something about whatever store emulator is used there, I dunno.

[twin wharf]

Of course not. The developer of that software is a real dick, and also steals code without attribution and then sells Borderless Gaming.

[chilly yacht]

I'm using the Game Pass version and haven't had any issues, though I used RHI to install Reshade and RenoDX. It's incredible to have HDR in a newly released game that doesn't support it. Thanks for the work @main wharf

[proper vine]

Oh I didn’t know that was a specific thing I thought you were just saying you used windowed or exclusive fullscreen only lol

[quick robin]

yeah but whats the issue?

if i cant afford and i want to play the game what other chocie have

if someone wants to donate to me so i can buy the game i hav eno issue with that

but well you ask for the log and i sent it i could just edited but well

sorry didnt mean to be rude on the devs but i cant afford to get the game

im not from europe or united states where they have a more stable economy

it is what it is my guy

but also if for some reason you gonna ask for the log and take a look at the path

and called some random guy a day well my dog, sent me money and i buy it so you dont have issue with it, what do you think? @hearty sandal

when i can afford i will buy the game because i liked it thats for sure, but right now i cant, sorry

[quick robin]

is the same is not a matter or if the game is original or not

it dpends maybe of some other configuration under my system maybe it mine it conflicts with others dlls idk

[main wharf]

Huh, I have no issue, you do you, no need for justification. All I'm saying is that crash is likely related to the version of the game you're using. Please end this topic now, it's against server rules.

[quick robin]

yah i didnt mean to said that to you that voosh

is just that the other guy called the path

like dog why are you investigatin wanna aim to someone?

aim to those who cracked it

[main wharf]

End it please.

[quick robin]

finished voosh

thank you for your understanding

[wide inlet]

forgive me, you do have a computer to play the game on, and presumably it cost some money to purchase said computer. apparently you also own a display capable of HDR (why would you be here otherwise). Seems like the problem isnt cash flow.

[main wharf]

Don't...

[wide inlet]

Thats fine.

[quick robin]

i wont reply

is finished

[main wharf]

I appreciate that. Enjoy the game!

[quick robin]

but voosh thats is what happen when a dude triggers a path, sorry didnt knew about the rules

[main wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[quick robin]

ahaha is finished hahaha

hahahahaa

[main wharf]

Should be fine, will send a build in a bit.

Though there's some never seen yet stuff, that will definitely be handled better when I'm done rewriting addon.

Maybe I can partially do it "the new way" though, shaders seem very specific to the game/slightly custom'd despite being mostly Unity's stuff.

[bronze galleon]

Yeah, pains to see that for this gem... Those devs deserve all the support possible out there

[bronze galleon]

Sorry for adding to it man, hadn't scrolled down yet

[twilit osprey]

is this the latest add-on for Replaced?

[main wharf]

Snapshot's updated aswell

@sour drum @ornate wave @torn rose
Added Phasmophobia shaders, also one permutation for SMCD and whatever weird stuff MOUSE: P.I. For Hire does. No idea how this last one will work, as I said it'll definitely be better after I'm done rewriting the addon as update handles edge cases all the same and in a way cleaner way.
Lemme know if something's off and please join ReShade.log when doing so.
hf!

[ornate wave]

Alr sir ill try

[sour drum]

32 bit build?

[main wharf]

Oops 😂

[sour drum]

I constantly forget myself that shmcd is 32 bit

[fallen linden]

It breaks the photos

which isn't unexpected tbf

any size causes them to be corrupt and on output size its just black

[unborn current]

F

[main wharf]

Is this like a photo mode/something that can just be swapped for ReShade/SKIV/GameBar feature, or is it a gameplay thing?

Seems like part of gameplay kinda

Feel free to send ReShade.log after doing that photo thing, just in case I can figure something there.
I can do hotswap for specific games if needed.
Could be too much upgrades, or not enough I never know with these. Well I guess it's a mismatch of some kind, so either way.

[ornate wave]

it works good so far on mouse pi, but is it normal that the fps cut in half using this? like without the addon fps go to 170 and with it runs at 80

[fallen linden]

gameplay

[main wharf]

Nope, this sounds like a lot. Maybe too much logging, is ReShade.log file size abnormally huge?

[ornate wave]

1,376kb

[main wharf]

Sounds... OK I think, feel free to send it here.
Though I'm heading to bed soon, might only have a look tomorrow

[ornate wave]

alr sir, here

[main wharf]

Uh. I see a couple weird things in there. Not sure what/why nor if that's what causes perf hit...

d3d12 device why...

17:57:58:518 [30620] | DEBUG | [RenoDX] utils::resource::OnInitDevice(Hooking device: 0x00000232a8055108, api: d3d12)

17:57:58:519 [30620] | DEBUG | [RenoDX] utils::shader::OnInitDevice(Hooking device: 2416590541064, api: d3d12)

And also a bunch of ReShade fx seems to be loaded.

[main wharf]

Just for info, various overlays show incompatibility with RenoDX, from crashes to stuff not working properly... If you have any try to disable them, or close background apps for testing purpose. Most commonly RTSS/Afterburner and Nvidia App

[ornate wave]

so should i try removing shaders and see if it works better?

[ornate wave]

ah ye i forgot

[main wharf]

Mh, checking "Load only enabled effects" in ReShade Settings tab should be enough I think.

[ornate wave]

yes

[main wharf]

Then Reload at the bottom of ReShade Home tab. All disabled effects should then be removed from the effects list.

[ornate wave]

alr

yeah it runs better but not as good as with no addon

[main wharf]

A very small perf hit isn't unusual, this also happens when enabling HDR in games with native one. But shouldn't be anything crazy really

Can send new log, maybe I missed something and I should be able to see a bit clearer without all the reshade effects errors/warnings

[ornate wave]

alr sir

[ornate wave]

ik

[main wharf]

Yea seems all normal to me, except for this d3d12 device thing which doesn't make any sense to me, never noticed it but maybe is normal I dunno...

[ornate wave]

ye ill play like this im not that obsessed xd

thanks anyway ;D

[main wharf]

Maybe I can think of something else after I sleep... Right now that's all I got. Would be nice if by then someone else can try the game and share .log and their experience, might help.
Hf

[ornate wave]

aight sleep well pepe_smoked

[sour drum]

Superhot I think works now, I didn't see any clamped highlights so far.
Phasmophobia works partially, some lamps remained clamped (log from phasmophobia)

it also has a weird quirk where highlights are dimmed a lot when you look at them or get close to them

[fading cradle]

@main wharf I want to share screenshots with the RenoDx mod enabled and when the Presets are disabled. Am I correct in understanding that when the Presets are disabled, this is the image without the mod?
I liked the Film Grain in Perceptual mode. It's more detailed and doesn't have the same dullness that Vanilla has.
Since I have an SDR TV, do I need to turn off SDR EQTF Emulation?
And do I need to set the brightness sliders to 80 in Peak, Interface, and Brightness? I set them to 203 in each, but is that wrong?
I'm using DSR with a degree of 2.25x, which means the resolution is higher than FullHD. I need to adjust the sliders at the bottom of the mod settings table, which are called Rargb or something similar. By default, I have it set to 11.

Judging by the screenshots, you can see that with the mod, there's a certain veil that disappears. When I played without the mod, I didn't pay attention, and the result is very similar to what happened in Hollow Knight Silksong.

I was referring to these settings at the bottom , like R11G11B10 .What are the values below, and what do they affect?
For example, if i activate R16G16B16A16, what is it?

[twin wharf]

Holy crap. That's got worse near-black than original SDR did.

Wish I could just give you an HDR TV so you don't have to put up with that 😛

[fading cradle]

@twin wharf Thank you, it sounds great) Hardly anyone would refuse such a gift :)), Your words are very pleasant to me, I'm sure the Oled TV with HDR probably impressed me 🙂 Yes, there is a difference with and without the mod. Plus, the W905a itself is pretty good at displaying dark colors in general, but I think here, in the game itself, the brightness setting is very simple and thanks to the mod, such adjustments can be achieved.
In these two screenshots, I first removed the mod from the folder and then put it back in. You can see how the Vanilla Film Grain looks slightly noisier, but the headlight is clearer, and with the other Film grain mode, the noise is softer and the headlight is less sharp.

But the light intensity itself is stronger. It's probably better to set it to 150 or 100 instead of 203, in three settings (Peak Bright, Bright, and Bright UI).

[light marsh]

I just got Replaced also and I'm excited for a RenoDX mod 🙂

[main wharf]

I said all 80 for a reason, now you ask if 203 is wrong... Yes it is.
EOTF off yea.
I also suggested to stick to vanilla tonemapper or not to use mod for SDR. You won't get same benefit as Silksong's one here, I said that already.

[main wharf]

Upgrades corresponding resource format:

[chilly yacht]

Is anyone else experiencing micro-stuttering/hitching in Replaced whenever the autosave icon appears?
I love how the game looks with HDR; I like the Perceptual film grain way more than the vanilla one.

[regal moth]

There is a bit of stutter but not sure I tied it to saving.

[main wharf]

I guess this also happens without addon? Looks weird indeed, auto exposure or something maybe?

[chilly yacht]

In my case, during the nearly 2 hours I played, it stayed at a solid 116 fps, and only when the auto-save icon appears is there a spike that drops it to 80-60, where you can notice the typical VRR flickering on OLED.

[summer hinge]

Hey yall. Just wanted to know what's the sitch with the mod in Mouse P.I. and Opus Prism Peak. Does it work with both? Are there any specific upgrades that need to be made? Ty

[main wharf]

^ Use this build for Mouse PI thingie, I'll update snapshot later. Should work out of the box.
@summer hinge
Someone reported noticeable performance hit in that game, I'd appreciate if someone else can share their experience (and corresponding ReShade.log).

Regarding Prism Peak it works out of the box aswell unless Graphic Setting is set to Medium or less, in which case default upgrade (RGBA8_typeless) should be switched to Any Size.

Aw, something about photos is broken in Prism Peak. Again I'd appreciate some ReShade.log after triggering the issue, maybe I can figure it out with that.
Else I'll get game for 2 hours demo on Steam eventually

[quick robin]

hey voosh im enjoying much the game, such awesome.

Thanks for doing the hdr mod, dunno if it was you but there it goes

🙂

[regal moth]

I didn't notice any performance loss personally, not sure what system that person is running it on. I can try doing a log when I play next. Directions for that are around here somewhere.

Am I doing what's at the bottom of your most recent pin here?

Or does that solely apply to when you are searching for deepfried issues?

[summer hinge]

Thank you very much. Won't be able to check rn as I'm away from home

[main wharf]

Devkit shaders dump? Nah shouldn't need, that was already provided by someone else and I added them already.
ReShade.log is automatically created in game's folder everytime game runs with ReShade installed, no need to do anything specific for that.

[main wharf]

Ok thanks. Might be something specific to that system as you said.

[fossil magnet]

getting this in mouse in only this level so far, second image is just a youtube screenshot of what it's supposed to look like. just using the addon with default upgrades and settings.

[light marsh]

@main wharf is the profile or settings for REPLACED complete or somewhere I can download? Thank you 🙏

[regal moth]

@main wharf Don't mean to double ping you but heres the log for Mouse PI. Completely forgot I could just take the log from my couple of hours of gameplay I already had.

[regal moth]

Switching DLSS from Balanced to Performance causes the entire scene to become almost completely black, almost. That's a first for me.

also there are a couple of transparent effects like the Menu UI that is opened in a journal. You can see through the journal a bit.

[fossil magnet]

this is like my identical issue i posted above but when i was using dlaa entire game until that level caused it to go black. i'm gonna mess with dlss settings now very interesting.

[fossil magnet]

do you have lens distortion off? i turned it off and that happened to me regardless of dlss/dlss option

[regal moth]

sorry I dont get notifications can't figure it out. Mine is on.

and yes I confirm turning it off does that regardless of setting.

[fossil magnet]

ok turning off lens distortion in the level of my example actually fixes the issue for that level from what i can see so might be a temp solution to just flip it whenever needed.

[main wharf]

No warning in addon when it happens?

[main wharf]

Not sure what you mean, I don't know of such thing as profiles to download.
Game should work out of the box as long as you use updated addon.

[main wharf]

Same here, any warning in addon when it happens? If so refer to it and pinned troubleshooting message to dump missing shaders and share it there.
(Else might be a typo in those I added already, will double check)

[main wharf]

Aw, find a couple small typos in there indeed. Fixed in this build.
Though none that would cause reported issue, so I think there likely are a couple more missing shaders. Addon should warn about that in UI.

[torn rose]

[main wharf]

Yup', warning's there. I never booted game, worked blindly out of the dump I was provided.
Can't do much if dump is incomplete...

[torn rose]

Anything i can do?

[main wharf]

Yea, check last part of pinned troubleshooting message.

[torn rose]

oh

🐭

i see now

[main wharf]

Just to be clear, I mean pinned message in this thread. Well basically this last part:
Game is deepfried => check addon UI as it's likely warning about missing output shader. Follow below's instructions to provide shaders dump.

Download devkit (64 - 32 bits) in game folder (can be loaded along addon), turn on Auto-Dump, make sure to fully load game, not just title menu. Make sure to reach the point game is deepfried.
Then you can send zipped renodx-dev in this channel, with ReShade.log could help.

[torn rose]

yes just a moment

autodump on, in game segment

Last log

I just dismissed that "deep fried" part since it's just blacked out instead

[main wharf]

Well it is deep fried technically, the black & white version of it

[main wharf]

Here added one more shader. Though I'd expect a few more eventually, maybe depending game graphic settings I dunno. Anyway feel free to provide more dumps if this happens again.

[torn rose]

works now

thank you

[regal moth]

Sorry Voosh like I said not getting notifications. Thank you Venetian for stepping up! If I notice another issue and get a warning I'll shader dump.

[main wharf]

No worries and no rush really. I dont have any discord notification enabled either.

[twilit osprey]

@voosh for replaced, internal lut scaling at 50 seems a nice compromise to get rid of washed out look. the black bars and the washed out look is otherwise distracting.

no way to get rid of black bars rite?

[main wharf]

Probably multiple ones. I'm on 21/9 myself so I don't get these, and I haven't played game yet anyway.
I can look into it later.

[twilit osprey]

i keep going back to lut 50. it makes black bars and the background blacks almost the same color. otherwise, they are greyish.

[main wharf]

ShaderToggler could do depending how bars are drawn. As far as I've noticed game renders behind letterboxing so chances are it could be enough.

https://github.com/FransBouma/ShaderToggler

[main wharf]

Ah no, doesn't work here, and likely will be trickier because game does 21/9 regardless of monitor's ratio.

Similarly, we’re working on a fix for the letterboxing for Steam Deck players. It’s not as simple as it would be in a full 3D world: the world is build like a film set to the screen dimensions we need. But we hope to have good news for you on this next week as well.

Maybe it'll be an in-game setting and not only for Steam Deck...

Sorry to hear that.

[dense thorn]

[bronze galleon]

REPLACED PhotoMode mod is nice but man, why do devs never think of non QWERTY users...

Such a pita to move on AZERTY

[uneven sluice]

you know what's worse
non-rebindable games that are locked to QWERTY for movement (looking at you Endfield)

[main wharf]

You mean that mod right? I haven't tried but Cinematic Unity Explorer works in the game.

[main wharf]

This is fully rebindable

[twin wharf]

SK has a feature to swap those keys for different keyboard layouts, but it's not exposed as a user config setting for general games 😕
Wrote it for a few game-specific mods. At some point I'll have to turn it into a proper feature.
SK's overlay itself should properly handle that stuff, but you might not even know you can use the letter keys to navigate around the UI since it's not normally in keyboard nav mode (Caps Lock).

[bronze galleon]

Yeah the one from the guy we chatted a bit with in REPLACED server 😊

[bronze galleon]

Oh

[uneven sluice]

although i think Windows is able to switch layouts for specific apps only? idk how it works

[main wharf]

https://github.com/originalnicodr/CinematicUnityExplorer

[bronze galleon]

Just rebinds your whatever layout to any of the selected ones 😊

[main wharf]

Isn't game specific, works in a vast majority of games. Definitely worth learning to use it imo if you're into taking shots.
Free cam, pause, HUD toggle, high LOD toggle etc...

And also compatible with IGCSDoF shader and addon.

[bronze galleon]

Yeah but if I do that, then the game which supports AZERTY (and rebinds) will visually show and use the wrong bindings 😅

It's only that PhotoMode mod that has its own hardcoded bindings

[main wharf]

I used that in recent Morbid Metal shots (#🖼️gallery message) and also other Unity games pics I took, super good stuff.

[bronze galleon]

Eh, I'm only interested in looking how they built the scenes, I barely ever take screenshots 😅

[fading cradle]

@main wharf I would like to clarify for a friend who has an OLED display. Will he need to enable HDR in Win 10 for the mod to work correctly?

He has AORUS FO48U OLED

[main wharf]

Yes.

[twin wharf]

How often do you actually need to see WASD / equivalent key prompts to know how to walk around in a game? 🤣

[bronze galleon]

Honestly, just once if need be, but it's kind of an "OCD" thing if the keybinding settings menu shows the wrong ones, always rubs me wrong

[amber mortar]

Mouse PI dump, underwater and title screen in particular are really dark

[main wharf]

Thanks will check when I'm home in a few hours.

I haven't really played the same since then.

The lack of cloud saves kinda killed my motivation to play it rn

[ornate wave]

@main wharf mouse p.i issue

tried with new mod releases but still

[regal moth]

thankfully I can switch DLSS now but there is still transparent ui only on certain parts.

[ornate wave]

@main wharf asked me for new dump idk

[ornate wave]

this game has dlss ? tf

[regal moth]

yeah!

[ornate wave]

cool i can use optiscaler then

[ornate wave]

ok with dlss the mod works

but yeah transparent ui

[main wharf]

Thanks, added one more shader here. Also attempted to fix UI, maybe..?

[main wharf]

Coming in some future game update.

[regal moth]

Seems fixed to me!

Can't see through the heart or notebook

[amber mortar]

Notebook transparency and title screen are fixed. Played through 6~ levels with autodump on, attached here. Underwater is still dark though

[main wharf]

Aye thanks. How about this

[main wharf]

Yea people mentioned that, I asked for log but none was provided yet.
I'd say either too much upgrades or not enough, resource type mismatch of some kind.
Add-on can do hotswap for specific games, so that'd be a solution eventually.
I'm off work tomorrow and the day after, can grab the game for 2 hours to have a look if needed.

Or without cloning maybe some specific targeted upgrade, only RTVs and such.

Gonna try to fix it within these couple days.

[main wharf]

Thank you for your contribution!
I feel game should be fully playable by now, will update snapshot later or tomorrow.

[main wharf]

Damn this is really impressive for a single dev's job. Feels great, looks amazing and runs so smoothly.
Strongly advice if you're into fast-paced hack'n'slash!

[main wharf]

Prism Peak also needs r11g11b10_float upgraded btw, for WCG (Output size seems enough).

[main wharf]

I can confirm this is definitely the case.

[main wharf]

Aye, got it first attempt of trying random stuff:

void AddOPUSPPUpgrades() {
      renodx::mods::swapchain::swap_chain_upgrade_targets.push_back({
          .old_format = reshade::api::format::r8g8b8a8_typeless,
          .new_format = reshade::api::format::r16g16b16a16_typeless,
          .ignore_size = false,
          .usage_include = reshade::api::resource_usage::render_target,
          .usage_exclude = reshade::api::resource_usage::copy_dest,
      });
}

Oof, fixes photo but still missing an upgrade, spoke too soon.

[main wharf]

Got it!
-# and within 2 hours refund window, lovely. Thought I wouldn't make it with that huge intro lmao

@crimson spear @summer hinge @unborn current @fallen linden
OPUS Prism Peak photos fixed.
Wipe [renodx] section in ReShade.ini and use this build. Should set everything that's needed automatically, no need to touch upgrades (even with Medium Image Quality setting).
No need to remove [renodx-presets] either.
Waiting for your feedback to update snapshot.
Hf!

Photos are clamped to SDR tho. A bit lazy to look into upgrading this...

I think game originally just clips, no tonemapping, so photos should be relatively accurate to SDR/original.

[quick robin]

@main wharf quick question: is shinobi also unity engine?

[odd osprey]

Gonna try this with mouse pi. Any try?

[uneven sluice]

mouse had a bunch of shaders uploaded here since release

any of the latest builds should have them

[odd osprey]

Ok awesome!

[odd osprey]

Is this one?

[severe burrow]

hey guys, anyone knows if Ball x Pit had any changes? I've seen posts from people running it fine with just default presets on older posts and it's listed on the github list

but for some reason on mine it simply does nothing at all even trying to upgrade RGB8 or RG11B10

Tried again on a fresh reshade reinstall and dunno what could be doing it. Just tried megabonk with the same unity addon version and it's still working fine

[odd osprey]

does reno have a ui remover for unity games? or is there a reshade add on for that?

[woven crag]

Add-on works perfectly ootb iirc. Great game. A mini warframe/dmc

[woven crag]

Still works fine for me in the current version. But you can't adjust UI separately because there is no separate UI, hdr tonemapping is applied properly where it should be tho, looks great

If you need upgrades I would have to check which one it is

[severe burrow]

yeah, I'm really confused. I'm using the latest version in git and I've seen specifically your posts about it, neocodex. But mine it's simply clamped at 203 no matter what I do and also enemy VFX sometimes glitch covering the entire screen

also, saturation slider couldn't go over 709

might try nuking the whole installation folder and then reapplying reshade

[woven crag]

I'll share my settings when I'm on and also test with newest version I'm still on old one,just in case. Nuking is always a good option too

But I think it did need one of the specific upgrades

[severe burrow]

tysm in advance :)

[odd osprey]

finally fixed the banding and made it a bit darker versus grey

looks so much better

just need to find a way to remove the hud

is there a basic hud toggle for unity games for reshade?

For mouse

[covert copper]

Appreciate this. For what it's worth there's an issue with the Dusklands Filter that is required for parts of the story. I think it's supposed to look mostly normal just with some extra chromatic aberration & fish eye. With the mod on the viewfinder becomes incredibly dark and captured photos are mostly illegible (which is problematic for deciphering the hidden info the lens is supposed to reveal)

mod set to off + no filter -> mod set to off + dusklands filter -> mod on + dusklands filter

going through the other filters I have, same thing happens with the Fisheye Lens, but the ones that just change the hues (e.g. warm/cool) are fine

[odd osprey]

What’s the best guide to show people for adding Reno to Unity?

[main wharf]

Missing shader likely. Addon would display a warning in UI. Gotta dump shaders with devkit.

[sour drum]

2 dumps:
Raft seems to work ootb, but the sun is weird. It goes past game brightness, but looks dim/clipped. Maybe it's just how it is, idk, some games have dim sun

Speedrunners 2 demo, missing output shader

[queen totem]

In Vampure Crawlers, I noticed that the generic unity addon seems to mess with the color grading in unintended ways when not using the vanilla tonemapper. Vanilla on left

[main wharf]

Vanilla looks odd to me, or is it how it looks without addon?
Please share ReShade.log here (when using addon) I'll have a look at used shaders.

Aw there's a demo, I guess I can have a look at it when I get the chance. Thanks for report!

[queen totem]

vanilla on left, changing LUT shaper to vanilla also looks extremely close to left. The entire screen is supposed to be red-tinted, but the color shift erroneously into green on what I believe are highlights on the right. I'm still in the same sesh but here's my log. For transparency, I play on linux

I can also +1 that the brightest parts of the chest opening sequence are erroneously black in HDR as well, in sdr these pixels are white

Vanilla / RenoDRT / No tonemapper

[main wharf]

Thanks for log.

I guess there's another shader running after Unity's post-processing and it's not liking HDR.
Again will check when I get the chance.

[main wharf]

Aw wait just realized game was already discussed here.

[main wharf]

Did you try to change offsets in Compatibility sections?

[broken ridge]

is there any reason schedule 1 is marked how it is? I've been playing it and have had no issues

[main wharf]

Yea wiki needs an update, currently most games are marked 🚧 yet should work just fine.
Same reason addon is "WIP/draft" here I guess, I genuinely didn't expect to manage to keep support for everything without breaking the rest, Unity's a mess.
Been very busy with work since December, I'll have more time off from next month onwards and plan to finish rewriting addon.
Maybe then I can also tackle wiki, streamline game-specific Notes and update Statuses.
Basically at this point 🚧 means "Should work but lacks testing/feedback". The very few games I know need more work for sure have a note like "Not entirely playable yet" or something.

[covert copper]

no warning popped up in the UI or reshade log, but grabbed the devkit from the pins and did a dump before equipping the filter, moved those aside, equipped the filter and dumped the new ones

oh the full dump is way smaller than I thought it would be, so here's that too fwiw

and log

[main wharf]

Aye, one missing shader in there, added it.
@sour drum same for speedrunners.

[covert copper]

👍 thanks it works

[woven crag]

tonemap offeset=2 fixes it

At least it did in the demo. Game coming out soon, here's hoping they don't change something again. But probably not

[queen totem]

game's already out :)

[woven crag]

Wait what? I didn't get any notification! It's a bit late for out of season aprils fools..?!

Neither on my email neither on my steam news section (why is that thing not showing stuff you really want, for some games it just doesn't or stops appearing even if you follow. Happen this to anyone else?)

[sour drum]

I mark most games added as 🚧 too, if I haven't tested them enough, even if they seemingly work fine.
✅ imo should be reserved for at least some playtesting, ideally a playthrough without major issues.
Though some 🚧 games are half-finished/still have missing shaders, so that's a bit of a lottery

[sour drum]

raft - sun is still dim, but not clamped. It's ~100 nits above game brightness.
speedrunners - colors shifted

[main wharf]

Raft I didn't have a look at dump yet so yea no change here.
Woops will double check speedrunners.

[sour drum]

speedrunners works now, thanks

superhot 1 dump. It still looks off at places, might be some shaders missing

[odd osprey]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mouse-reloaded/news/mouse-reloaded-announced1

were making a mod for mouse pi for hire

red ink blood mod is out now

[uneven sluice]

isn't it way too early for this kind of overhaul

the game isn't even finished

[woven crag]

Dave the Diver is missing some shaders in night time (possibly more later in the game?) should I do a dump? Anyone actually played trough the game with the mod?

It also doesn't seem to uh... Tonemap properly. It mostly peaks around 400 and the only thing that actually went all the way up to 2000 was pouring that green tea in the restaurant it was radioactive bright, so I think something might be off here

[thorn idol]

So can replaced use unity RenoDX?

[odd osprey]

say that to every mod here? lol they all start at launch or even before if there is a demo haha

[uneven sluice]

an HDR mod is way different to a "restore everything" mod
you can't even know if they are planning to add the ennemies/weapons/whatever in the story DLC or in future updates

[main wharf]

May it depend on game settings? Post-processing toggles can change shaders.
Feel free to dump yea, if anything so you can play the game.

[main wharf]

Could it be that game just doesn't get much bright? With it being mostly 2D sprites and all.
You can use FakeHDR Boost in effects, or any other ITM method if you prefer.

[woven crag]

Did try that, and just using it a little turned the beverages nuclear bright its like the only thing that uses a different shader than the rest of the game. It's only small part of the game tho mid to late game you get staff to do that for you. But I was curious why is this thing peaking max nits while rest of the game is a lot lower. It doesnt look bad but I think it could be improved

I also have a feeling some dlc areas might come with new shaders too but that's late game stuff and I don't have a save on this platform

Maybe I could try getting a save actually

[odd osprey]

There are many that do more

[uneven sluice]

many idk, some yes absolutely

[main wharf]

Aw did I misunderstand? What is your peak set to in Reno?

[woven crag]

2000

[main wharf]

Ok so it's not overshooting. How is tonemapping not working properly then I'm confused?

[woven crag]

Ah ok, so what I meant is

Normal game looks fine (close to SDR but not clamped to 200, it goes to about 400-500 but it seems like it's missing some detail like sun reflecting from the sea should be brighter?)

But in one situation when pouring a drink, it's using a different shader, that one did go all the way to 2000

I had a bit of fakeHDR boost turned on at the time too, so it was extra cursed

And then the night time came and I got the missing shader warning so I was ok should have run the devkit

Oh maybe I could try the offsets

Ah it was late I was just testing it out

[main wharf]

Like this?

Should be brighter based on what..?

Doesn't seem bright/clamped in SDR, so no reason for it to be brighter in HDR, unless I'm missing something..?

The drinks being overly bright could be a bug, though again it should be compared with SDR.

[woven crag]

Ah I see what you mean. Sure, in that form it's correct then. The drinks were hmm well they were not bright in SDR at least that I remember

[main wharf]

I dont know enough about the game, this could happen if game renders in SDR so a bunch of resources are upgraded.
Should be accurate if game renders in HDR and only output resources (after post-processing) are upgraded.

[woven crag]

Too bad it can't go higher for the sun etc in HDR so you're saying theres no resource/texture to tonemap it?

[main wharf]

Huh? Tonemapping won't necessarily make things brighter than they originally are. Or well, display mapping in this case.
Again you can use fake HDR boost or Highlights/Contrast sliders if you feel like it.

I feel you're confused with inverse tonemapping which would "boost" highlights (white) to peak.

[woven crag]

So this means even in SDR the sun and it's light /other light sources were not even set to max sdr brightness or something else?

So the base curve is, uhh.. lower?

[main wharf]

SDR's max equals "Game Brightness" in HDR.
Anything above that level was clipped in SDR.

I don't think game has any tonemapping originally, seems just clipping.

[faint loom]

missing shaders

[main wharf]

Or just still get updates that change shaders.
Phasmophobia is an example, Windblown's another.

Early access games in particular are more susceptible to have major changes. Already released/finished games are less likely to break, as gameplay fixes don't affect mod, only graphical changes.

[woven crag]

Default settings (HDR / SDR) - it's just a little 🤷‍♂️

Tonemapping works of course, I'll dump the shaders just gotta get more locations in

[main wharf]

Well if there are missing shaders yea feel free. But it won't change the fact game doesn't get any bright in some locations. It is what it is, again feel free to ITM. Fake HDR Boost is meant for these.

[woven crag]

Mhm yeah probably not much we can do but there were missing shaders for the nighttime and the tea was messed up so I wanna give it a try

[main wharf]

Oh that's UI

[main wharf]

Is it affected by color grading? As in, does blowout to 100 or saturation to 0 make it white?

[woven crag]

Aight let me try

And again I forgot to mess with the offsets

[main wharf]

Yea though offset wouldn't necessarily fix this, as I mentionned earlier without even seeing screenshot it might be from resource upgrade. In practice that'd just be one shader to manually clamp.

[woven crag]

this is the first dump but it does not have the missing shaders i encountered in prologue

[main wharf]

Won't be able to do much with this I think

[woven crag]

it's an "event time of day" situation

hm alright ill keep huting for it

so should i dump only after i found something?

[main wharf]

Yea either that or just enable auto-dump then reproduce missing shader situation.

[woven crag]

not affected by color grading

[main wharf]

Here should work

[main wharf]

Well then FakeHDR Boost shouldn't affect it either... So I'm even more confused by your previous statements.

[main wharf]

Anyway this should really be an easy fix.
Unrelated to the rest of the game being dim for which you can just ITM/boost to your liking.

[woven crag]

I thought it was this bright because of fakehdr boost, it turns out its already this way

[woven crag]

Yeah, still better than other hdr solutions

in regards to framerate, PSA for Dave the Diver cap your fps to 50 and use smooth motion to avoid stutter

[main wharf]

Yea it's just UI exploding from resource upgrade. Gotta clamp it manually is all.

[woven crag]

And again I forgot to try the offsets

[main wharf]

UI seems separated fine already, offsets won't do anything.
It's for the other way around, if grading affects UI.

[woven crag]

oh I'm such a dumbass, forgot I was messing with toggles yesterday somehow left lut shaper at vanilla that's why it looks so off today, i thought I was going crazy

[uneven sluice]

you can probably use sk to get rid of that garbage camera system

[woven crag]

Working just fine... I was just being stupid

[woven crag]

Hmm... Thanks for the tip, not sure I know how, I might just use the lazy method of frame smoothing

[uneven sluice]

sk has a Unity section where you can override the deltatime of the game

it may break physics in games that tie their systems to 50hz deltatime

but it can also smooth games that rely on 50hz for their camera

[woven crag]

The unlock fps mod broke some bosses yeah it's why this discussion was started and frame smoothing was suggested

[main wharf]

Happens.

[woven crag]

This game is so good I might start another playtrough this summer. Even tho I put in like a 100h in my first one grinding like a madman. I highly recommend it

[faint loom]

Thanks, but should I change any of the sliders? since the game now looks washed out in my eyes.

[main wharf]

Nah that's likely some typo. Will fix later.

[severe burrow]

omg neocodex you saved me!!!! I had tried every other combination of different upgrades except for "any size" option <3

that was just it. I usually just try output size or ratio

man, this things work misteriously. wish there was a wiki or general structured place to read about and start developing an intuition on where to read about what each of those tweaks can help in which situation and witch my break. Cause some of the other upgrades made the enemies glitch out and I ended up giving up

btw, good replaying of Dave the Diver. I played it with nothing but the inverse tone mapping "hdr" of SK and it's such a gorgeous game. contemplating redplaying it with the new DLCs and knowing I there's Reno for it too!

I wouldn't sleep on the Special K's unity frame pacer, tho. SK is a bit scarier at the beginning but I find it much more intuitive and less "toggle and hope this one works than reno" and with the amount of games using unity you'll be thankfull to be able to match the internal delta time to framerate

[main wharf]

There is latest pinned message (troubleshooting) and RenoDX github wiki (link in first pinned message). Wiki's incomplete though, so refer to troubleshooting for missing games.

[severe burrow]

I really appreciate a lot the sharing of information in projects as those. It's mostly a shift in culture thing I guess. I'm not the usual jump into asking kind of guy and like reading documentation before bothering people but ever since things became dirscord and sometimes github centric it's just all so spread out :(

I'm reading the pinning message now, but I usually default to trying to use the search function - which is a total mess - and it's hard to know when you've been thorough. git is a bit weird for me too I guess. To this day I'm still often surprised when a blue hyperlink actually is an hyperlink to a different page and not just a skip to somewhere down like an index

please don't take it as ingratitude, I just've been very anxious in general with the amount of knowledge now imbued in Discord and how at the whims of a shady company we're atm with so much specialized knowledge into various communities that have no webpage counterpart

[main wharf]

I appreciate feedback thanks.
I guess I can try to sum up pinned message inside addon's UI. Also probably should include a button linking to github wiki. (:

[severe burrow]

that would do a lot! the other project I heavily use is SK. At the beginning it was quite dauting but nowadays there's plenty of tooltips and the wiki is competent enough I helped onboarding a friend recently and it was 10x easier than the first time when all knowledge was spread across discord messages 😅

if tooltips explanations would become too big to be helpful (which most of the time they are cause it's hard to summarize) just as little as a hint to where you can learn more about does so much for incentivizing users to seek the information instead of repeating questions. At least I know I'm the type that always feels terrible when I'm asking something probably is already explained somewhere and look like I didn't bother to give some effort

[woven crag]

there's a couple of mods availble that would be well suitable for a replay; reduce recipe upgrade grind (configurable), add harpoon upgrades to the shop, adn the "Expansion" mod with tons of configurable QoL (quick travel, faster walk speed, minimap) and even more gear upgrades to purchase in the shop. checking this out made me convince i'm gonna start over (i had over 100 hours on the console, didn't do everything i wanted yet but with this extra content gives you more reason to farm endgame) 👍

[woven crag]

happy it helped. i was thinking of contributing to github compatible games list but i'm still affraid it's something i shouldn't be touching, as i'm just a user

[solemn lake]

Was trying to use the addon for Shapez 2 but doesn't seem to work. I don't see any warnings about shaders missing though.

[woven crag]

if youre gonna use mods the bepinex on nexus is outdated and broken, use latest version like this one here https://builds.bepinex.dev/projects/bepinex_be/755/BepInEx-Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64-6.0.0-be.755%2B3fab71a.zip

[main wharf]

Send ReShade.log please

[sharp eagle]

How would I install this so I could have reno working with zenless zone zero?

[woven crag]

got the broken night again, here's the shaders caught only in this scene

ah, and this is where i set the lut shaper to vanilla and forgot to set it back 😅

[kind kernel]

Use the dedicated mod:

#1330764788711555166 message

[sharp eagle]

Sweet thanks!

[odd osprey]

Any Unity devs here?

[main wharf]

I almost automated that switch and back, but thought some people may not notice it so I kept the obviously broken output and went with warning message instead.
Thanks for dump, checking in a bit.

[main wharf]

Uhm, please send full dump

[woven crag]

Don't have Could you combine it with the one from before?

[main wharf]

Aw I did not check previous one first my bad, it has one missing shader. I'mma assume it's the one since I can't find any in 2nd dump. Build incoming in a bit

[severe burrow]

when you do these builds they all get added to the general unity addon?

[main wharf]

Yes. I mostly add stuff blindly, so I like to wait for people's feedback before I update snapshot/github.

[main wharf]

Yup' typo indeed. Try this last build above ^

[main wharf]

^ this should be fine.
Regarding the UI thing I'm not sure though, just to confirm are you using all default settings resources upgrades included? Wiki says to upgrade R11G11B10_float, so I'm assuming RGBA8_typeless output size is enough.
I remember someone played the game and didn't report such issue.

[main wharf]

^ try this latest build please

[woven crag]

Thanks!! 🙏 Haven't tried the upgrade, will do!

[woven crag]

I meant to mention, one would probably not notice if their screen isn't as bright, but to me it was certainly an outlier. It's not a big deal at all, I was just wondering if that could be a key to solving some stuff

[severe burrow]

btw, not sure how helpful it is to mention but special k has a remaster swapchain option that goes separetely through 8 bits, 10 and 11

iirc dave the diver has a few weird shaders that also break on special k if you do the remastering basically because the game is almost all pixel art stuff and then there's those isolated traditional 3d render stuff that happens time to time

they're the same that are getting super bright as far as I can see through the screenshots, like the pouring drink minigame

[solemn lake]

Looks like it is working now. Thanks for looking into it.

[severe burrow]

btw, @main wharf , regarding what we talked earlier about troubleshooting messages and stuff, as far as I researched and looed into the github, discord searches, etc, the upgrades are still kinda of a blackbox to me. It's turn em'om and pray it works or it don't. I get the part that usually the 8bit chain is enough and the 10-11bit solves a lot of the ones stubborn to expand beyond rec709 but I wonder if there's any logic for noticing patterns and stuff besides just trying the options

specially regarding the output sizes/ratios/etc. This setting I honestly don't have a single clue how opperates. I sorta get what upgrading 8, 10 and 11bit channels do because of Special K but the ratio/size/any aspect of it I have no idea

[queen totem]

Another issue I noticed with vampire crawlers, it seems like the addon removes UI bloom

https://party.transkittycorner.com/no reshade crawlers bloom.png?k=xmCi&cache
https://party.transkittycorner.com/yes reshade yes renodx crawlers no bloom.png?k=hRa0&cache

No reshade, yes bloom
reshade and renodx, no bloom

[queen totem]

Doesn't seem to affect bloom in the world, light sources seem to still have bloom

we don't get to know the true glory of card shine yet

[queen totem]

Also breaks other bloom effects like NO FUTURE

[woven crag]

Survivors or Crawlers?? The last screen is from survivors?

The cursed stuff in crawlers was related to bloom iirc, but changing the offset fixed that instead, so maybe try playing with offsets a bit more?

[queen totem]

Both crawlers LOL

you can see the card poking out of the right side of the screenshot, both are cropped

[queen totem]

I don't recall offsets working, I think it's just a matter of its shader being broken

[main wharf]

Output size: resources with same size as window (= monitor if borderless)
Output ratio: resources with same ratio as window
Any size: all corresponding resources regardless of their size

[main wharf]

A key to solving what? I dont think so, is UI.

[main wharf]

Downloaded demo yday but was too exhausted to take a look, will check when I get the chance.

[severe burrow]

yeah, I kinda guessed from their descriptions but it's waaaay beyond me why would each individual swapchain upgrade path have such varying results. And if there's any logic that can be infered when trying them beyond just going one by one and hoping one of them works

Is that something that can be reasoned or is it really just hit or miss depending on how each game behaves?

[main wharf]

Uuuh... Pretty much what pinned message says.
So there are mostly 3 types you'd mess with, RG11B10 only for gamut clamp and both others for range clamp (RGBA8_typeless and RGB10A2_typeless).

[main wharf]

Regarding size it's case-dependant.
Resolution scaling occuring after post-processing usually requires Output ratio.
Some other edge cases like games with locked internal resolution or rendering at a different ratio from window/monitor would need Output ratio or any size...

[severe burrow]

I have some intuition about the different chains in terms of bits (8, 10, 11) but I couldn't ever figure why or what the ratio/size/any means in regards to the settings, when they'd usually work or why

I know very little about unorm on some unity games for eg but I really have no idea how swapchain "sizes" work

[woven crag]

I know nothing about this stuff but I'm very stubborn when I want to make it work so I just blindly bruteforce toggles one by one until it works

After all that fails I will come here to beg someone to help out, that's the typical procedure

[odd osprey]

I am adding in renodx in a mod I am doing that overhauls the game, how do I properly credit you guys, @main wharf you do the unity based one and the mouse specific updates it had?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mouse-reloaded

mod page

can actually get proper hdr and black and white with reno and the settings I put as default

[main wharf]

Just don't.
Feel free to link ReShade's and addon's links if compatible for whoever's interested, that'd be enough.

Doesn't make sense to me since mod is likely to be used mostly by SDR users.

[odd osprey]

absolutely will do it that way!

thank you for the reply

good advice

I did make a mod to add HDR to the game, that is its own thing just FYI when you see it adds HDR

[woven crag]

is there a devkit addon for 32bit? i want to dump shaders but cant get the devkit to load

[desert herald]

yes

just build the x86 version

or get the addon32 from the Releases page

[woven crag]

dump for Hand of Fate 2. it's half-working - soft clamped to SDR, can use fakeHDR to boost, but it doesn't seperate the UI which gets boosted too. hopefully not too much work with this one?

and this one does need swapchain proxy if this means anything

"old" game, but damn does it hold up. there's just something about it that is really special, a true hidden gem. I remember playing this when I couldn't even get a stable 60 on 4K, now it's butter smooth and if we could get HDR working.. now that would be something

[dense ferry]

I'm also interested in getting Vampire Crawlers' bloom fixed for Reno, anyone figure it out?

[woven crag]

What's actually wrong with it? I think I'm playing with bloom off if I do the offset then?

[dense ferry]

The bloom effect is basically missing, and I’m pretty sure I can see some black highlights when opening a chest etc.

[woven crag]

The black stuff should be gone with tonemap offset=2

[dense ferry]

Ok

[twilit osprey]

any idea why this doesnt work?

[main wharf]

Why is RGBA8_typeless default upgrade disabled?

Set it back to default by pressing 🔄 button on the right.
If still clamped, might be because of black bars, in which case set RGBA8_typeless to Any Size (or get rid of letter-boxing)

[main wharf]

Try this maybe

[woven crag]

Wow that was fast, gonna give it a try ❤️

[woven crag]

Forgot to mention it's 32bit 😅

[main wharf]

Ah well should've checked.

[woven crag]

should have said it too 😆

well i was asking for 32bit devkit just above so i was assuming you'd be on what's going on

[twilit osprey]

since i upgraded rgb10A2_typeless, i disabled rgba8_typless. but now i tried all combinations for these 2 and restarted the game 5-6 times after changes. nothing worked so far. still 220 nits max.

i set rgba8_typless to any size. didnt work after restart.

the unity file I am using is the 64 bit one from renodx mod page. it says file from last monday.

[pulsar plinth]

good afternoon, was just wondering if esoteric ebb works ootb. couldnt find it on the wiki.

Steam

Ved:Recure

On the 27th consecutive night of working overtime, you finally return to your empty room and, as usual, switch on your computer. Instinctively, you add a game that catches your eye to your library.

It’s your 1000th one.

Unlike when you were a teenager, your enthusiasm for games has faded, and there’s no one left to play with. You drift of…

Release Date

To be announced

reshade fails to load in this game, any tricks we can do with dll renaming or something?

[main wharf]

Weird. Enable both to any size, restart game and send ReShade.log please.

Though just to be sure, also disable any overlay/background apps.
I remember RTSS in some cases prevented resource upgrades. Also Nvidia App is known to interfere.

[main wharf]

Yea game was reported to work. I'm not sure whether it needs RG11B10_float upgrade for WCG. You can try to increase saturation and use Lilium's HDR Analysis shader to check if colors go out of smallest triangle (CIE graph bottom left, BT709).

[woven crag]

ok something is a bit off with this one; everything works, but gamma is significantly raised, and funnily it gets washed out even more if you enable 2.2 emulation. this is with game gamma slider lowered to about 10%

which makes some parts of the game a little too dark?

so i increased the gamma slider back to around 20% which makes the dealer scene normal, however it does wash out the rest of the game a bit again

it's definetely playable (and the HDR transform is incredible) i can live with it but i wonder what's going on, never seen this before

disabling user lut gets rid of the ugly blue glow at least

[twilit osprey]

both on any size worked. 👍🏻 This is for Nocturnal (in case anyone searches)

[uneven sluice]

works when using SK with reshade as ReShade64.dll in game folder

but it's missing a shader, just dumped the game

[small token]

Star Ocean The Second R is missing some shaders in some spell effects later game

[main wharf]

Yea probably derped. Will check later on

[main wharf]

Has to do with letter-boxing.
Basically game renders at a different resolution and ratio than monitor.

[main wharf]

What happens is I'm exhausted, rushed adding shaders during break at work instead of having a nap. Also post-processing/tonemapping isn't Unity's but some plugin I barely know, probably messed up somewhere.

[woven crag]

I feel bad for asking all of this what would we do without you? 😭 Get your rest, and don't worry about it being derped, I am immensely enjoying the game with hdr it is such a treat! When the little gems and card foils spark on 2000 nits, oh it is sooo perfect it brings so much LIFE to the game!

The weird gamma is really not bothering me after the adjustments, just giving feedback that you might want to know.

[main wharf]

Nah don't I'm soon done. Break mid next week, then part-time, will have more time to rest, mod and even play games!
Also gonna finish rewriting addon when devkit is fixed.

[main wharf]

Here should be good. You probably want to reset game's gamma/brightness setting to default.
