Unity Engine

[main wharf]

Here, and also @small token
Thanks for dumps!

[woven crag]

broooo

its peeeeerfect!

who needs sloptracing and trashformers??? just look at this game!!

easy 120 fps in native 4K too

[odd osprey]

is there an effective reshade tool for removing ui in unity?

[odd osprey]

@main wharf so how is it best to link renodx unity? I have only grabbed it from here, there must be a git? and is the git one updated to support mouse?

[main wharf]

Pinned link. Same as RenoDX Github wiki's snapshot button.
Yes it is.

[main wharf]

Does it even work along your HDR mod? If you're modifying shaders then chances are Unity Engine addon won't work.
It's meant to mod SDR games, not HDR ones. The few supported games with native HDR need HDR disabled to work.

[odd osprey]

My bad! Yes it adds hdr but doesn’t for those without and the settings we have for them help make the game look better. Like removing the vignetting that bands and looks horrible. We are bundling the config just not actual Reno. Will link that!

So it’s useful for hdr and sdr users

And the hdr we modded in is just the stock unity one with some adjustments

https://notvoosh.github.io/renodx-unity/renodx-unityengine.addon64

this is correct?

[main wharf]

That's my point. This addon isn't supposed to work with Unity's native HDR. It only mods SDR.
So RenoDX doesn't work with native HDR games, HDR has to be disabled for addon to work.

[odd osprey]

the way we coded it, it will disable HDR/enable HDR based on windows settings, then the non hdr preset just uses the vignette option to remove that awful banding circling and a few other things, HDR mode it stays on default off but with the vignette off

[main wharf]

Yea so may not be compatible with RenoDX. 🤷

[odd osprey]

It’s been fine in all testing so far. HDR and non hdr

[main wharf]

RenoDX can remove vignette aswell.

[odd osprey]

HDR just turns vignette on and stays vanilla

Yes that’s what’s doing it!

[main wharf]

HDR without changing tonemapping?

[odd osprey]

Isn’t that what vanilla does? I do like how it changes things regardless to give an actual BLACK ink. So I’m going with it lol

[main wharf]

So like, is it still tonemapped to SDR then scaled up to HDR?

[odd osprey]

But it won’t be included

No it’s choosing based on windows setup with the code with did

[main wharf]

Well yea for SDR it tonemaps to 1. Unity Neutral iirc, maybe ACES aswell in some scenes.

ACES should have equivalent HDR code in Unity already, dunno about Neutral Tonemap though.
Though with URP I don't know how it goes, since it has SDR grading LUTs (both baked and internal) after tonemapping.

I'd be quite curious how code looks with native HDR enabled.

[odd osprey]

The code we made basically chooses the sdr or hdr preset for reshade/reno that’s in the files already for people. They just have to plop in Reno via the link

It’s definitely doing good work to get that BLACK versus the grey and banding the game has out of the box which like killed me day one

Make this amazing art style then surround it with GREY AND BLACK BANDING MY HEART

what goes on at studios when stuff like this happens is beyond me

[main wharf]

Ok so like, you claim adding HDR support but what it means is "it works with RenoDX"? I'm confused.

[odd osprey]

well we enable the unity HDR, and for that profile it only uses the vignette option for HDR

thats at the code level beyond reshade or reno stuff

and then the custom code to fill in a sdr or hdr profile for reshade/reno

which yes the hdr profile is just no vignette lol

here is an example in HDR before and after in an area, left before, right after, its so washed out etc

so its doing work lol

now we can get actual blacks versus everything a shade of grey

[main wharf]

Both pics are SDR 🙈

[bronze galleon]

RenoDX Unity Extended wen ?

[odd osprey]

yeah posted the sdr version sorry lol

the left one is basic out of the box no sdr nothing

must have deleted it

but this shows no banding, darker

RED INK BLOOD

haha

[main wharf]

Soon™.
And it will support every native HDR Unity game. All 10 of them!

[bronze galleon]

Gigachad

[odd osprey]

full colour with hdr and reno no vignette

[true carbon]

wtf, did they release a new update? Why do that, the game had such a unique experience and look going for it.

Now it's just another toon game.

[odd osprey]

We be modding

We added a sepia and full colour modes we are expanding on

It’s the most demanded things from people. Were modders. We gonna do it

[uneven sluice]

people just don't want cool art direction

[odd osprey]

I didn’t know we went to every persons house who purchased it and held a gun to their head to use one of our modes

People are excited to play it again with new modes. And we tell people to play it regular way first

It is so amazing

[true carbon]

Oh

It's a mod, heh.

Kk

[odd osprey]

Haha yeah

[true carbon]

I don't think they meant that towards you

Just the people demanding it and such.

[odd osprey]

Yeah my bad lol

[true carbon]

Every game I play with mods, especially something that drastically change the art like this, it's always on my second run, yeah.

Or like if I'm adding texture mods in stuff like GTA etc

First run always vanilla, except for few QoL mods.

Second ones, go all crazy.

Unless it's some really old game and such, so already lost the true intent by playing on modern hardware, emulation, etc.

Looks cool for a mod, though.

Good enough that I thought it was a patch 🙂

[woven crag]

I find purely black&white games a bit harsh to look at on oled/hdr, I know it sounds a bit counterintuitive but sometimes too much contrast like this can be just too much. I agree it ruins the original art direction but I would be interested to try it out (if it's more pleasing to my eyes, like physically)

There was this another popular game recently that was almost entirely pure white (opposite of this) and very little black on it. Games like that I just do a full skip. Just can't look at it

[true carbon]

It’s fine, you paid for the game, you play as you like.

At least you’re self aware enough that you know you’re ruining the original art.

To each their own in the end, tbh.

What’s considered ruined for me is an enhancement to you.

And vice versa.

[woven crag]

Might even not look good and I would hate it idk but there's something about purely black&white I find hard to look at for longer periods

It's just tiring

There's a reason we use warm50

It's just about getting more warmer colours I think. Black & white, even with a warm white profile, can still be tiring

[odd osprey]

[queen totem]

It's not the black stuff, world bloom is fine

its the UI bloom

[queen totem]

It's this

[dense ferry]

I didn’t realize how different the game looked until I saw it on my MacBook with the bloom, been playing on PC with Reno so missing out.

[small token]

Some more missing shaders for Star Ocean 2

[main wharf]

Just 1 it seems, here.

[small token]

thank you. Out of curiosity, is there a way for me to tell which ones are the shaders missing? cause if I auto dump I just get a big list

[main wharf]

Using devkit's snapshot, or decompiling all shaders then check interesting ones against the ones already in addon...
I wouldn't bother, full list is fine by me.

[woven crag]

Muse Dash with fakeHDR turned up to 80 and swap chain encoding switched to gamma, in case you want to look at it

Otherwise clamped and washed out if swapchain default

Sliders/UI work

SDR reference

fakeHDR looks pretty nice actually probably not much that can be done but there's dump just in case

[main wharf]

Can't find much in dump, not sure what you'd want added there. Game doesn't look like it has any post-processing going on, can't see much clipping in Steam pics either.
If sliders work and UI is separated, I guess it could be BlitCopyHack's doing.
Might be as good as it can get, though you could also use some ReShade.fx as ITM along REST to separate UI.

[woven crag]

Mhm, figured it'll be like that since sliders were already working. Alright fakeHDR it is for this one

[last scarab]

has anyone tested if mod is working with this game, if not i will

i played demo but don't think i tested it because it looked like an UI only game, however from the new screenshots i noticed there's combat too:

i was planning to buy the game and play it someday later (when i have time currently busy with other games) on my steamdeck or whatnot, but the thing is it might get a while to get to the combat section to capture the shaders

so idk if or when would i be able to do that but i don't wanna miss the early purchase discount too

[main wharf]

Demo was updated on game launch day, maybe worth checking again 🤷

[woven crag]

lmao it already works

it just somehow happens that particles in the menu/UI use shaders and adds this beatiful sparkling effect when they pop up, it's so perfect ❤️

UI/game brightness works too 🔥

[main wharf]

Addon works in more games than the ones listed on wiki. I feel I mostly get reports when stuff doesn't work/shaders are missing, and even then wiki isn't updated when I add shaders.

Will try to add entries and also make existing entries more consistent for upgrades and stuff next month.

[woven crag]

if you want i can help with that and make you a list of stuff that works for me and what upgrades are on

[bronze galleon]

We could just collect our working installs reshade inis 😉

[main wharf]

Feel free to let us know here if you find more, but I'll just skim through thread for those y'already reported or shared dumps for.

[main wharf]

Yea though some stuff is situational, like RGB10A2 when using FSR1/STP, Output Ratio when using DSR/VSR/resolution scaling or Output Size with window-boxing (e.g. 16/9 game on 21/9 monitor, though preferably one would use dedicated mod or some app like SK to remove window-boxing instead).

I should probably add this on wiki, or even in addon's UI. Will also move warnings at the top.

[bronze galleon]

Ah, yeah, not that good an idea then collecting inis

Better to stick to required upgrades for Wiki and maybe per-game in addon's UI tips for those cases

[woven crag]

if it's universal add-on our only option is wiki notes

[woven crag]

rip, now that i'm going trough my list i'm finding new ones that are missing shaders not gonna bother you with that for now

[woven crag]

I have a game that's limited to 1080p so it needs output ratio instead of size, i noticed this trend before, if you mess with resolution output size doesn't work

[main wharf]

Do, don't worry. Helps every user.
If there's warning then these shaders are easy for me to add, generic Unity stuff.

[woven crag]

yeah some have missing notification and some are clamped or cursed (in pq) those are probably more work, but at least everywhere so far UI slider is working, which makes for a pretty ok workaround with the fakehdr booster

most common fix for games we haven't tested tho seems to be required swapchaing encoding and swapchaing gamma stuff, even output ratio instead of size seems to be common

[main wharf]

Even more work is fine. I need edge cases to test addon rewrite anyway.
Will have more free time from tomorrow night.

[compact rover]

Using this with Tainted Grail in DX12 mode results in 3D elements not rendering. Or being rendered fully black, not sure.

I am trying to force DX12 (which works), so I can try using OptiFG through optiscalar.

Reshade works without issue, I just need to rename it to reshare64 dll. But if RenoDX is enabled within reshade, rendering breaks.

I see another user talking about this a few weeks back, sounds like there are multiple issues here. I'll just keep an ear out

[main wharf]

Yea haven't had time to check what's going on yet, reminder is appreciated.

[compact rover]

cool beans, thank you 🙂

[fading cradle]

Please tell me if the Reno mod for The Last Case of Benedict Fox will work correctly?

[main wharf]

Try it and let us know?

[fading cradle]

I don't have this game at the moment, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried it.

[lyric wraith]

Hello. I'm enjoying this game much more with this renodx-unityengine plugin. but I've encountered a certain event in the game where it turns to this. I am looking forward to investigating this issue, I already have dumped the shaders

[torn rose]

seems to work out of the box for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

loaded tutorial map

if anyone else can verify

[main wharf]

Assuming devkit was there when event occurred, you can just send the whole dump here and I'll do the rest.

[main wharf]

I remember adding a couple shaders for this from demo. There may be a few more in full game I dunno, but at least partial support is expected.

[crimson spear]

Game name?

[lyric wraith]

Nocturnal. It's a very short experience, but very polished on all aspects. And looks spectacular in HDR, after fiddling a bit with the settings

[lyric wraith]

many thanks! your effort is greatly appreciated

[main wharf]

Thanks will check that later on

[lyric wraith]

It's most likely the 0xCE3E675F shader

[fading cradle]

Replaced has released an update today that allows you to remove the dark bars on top. Therefore, is there a need to update the renodx mod?

[bronze galleon]

Bruh, yet another Steam only patch for now...

Very unlikely the mod would need updating tho

[main wharf]

Yes it was, here

[odd ridge]

Hey guys. I'm new to this stuff. I'm looking for some guidance on how to get Planet of Lana 1 to work with the universal Unity Engine mod. I may be wrong, but OOTB, HDR doesn't seem to work correctly. Has anyone figured out a solution? Thanks.

[bronze galleon]

It does work correctly for the most part but some sections in which the mod will show another set of tonemappers are weird, iirc those scene are rather dark so it's no biggie using a preset with some sliders set to vanilla for them imo but maybe Voosh fixed them since last time that was brought on

[odd ridge]

Ok. So it does indeed work as intended OOTB? That's reassuring to know.

(Incoming dumb question)
When I use RTX HDR instead on the RenoDX mod, the game's HDR pops a lot more (white details a lot brighter etc). But am I correct in understanding that this is not the intended look if aiming for original creators intent? Thanks again.

[bronze galleon]

RTX HDR is never gonna be the intended look of anything tbh

[odd ridge]

Hehe, fair enough. I guess what I'm really getting at is that, at the start of the game, it doesn't look like the game is hitting my peak brightness anywhere, like the RTX HDR did. HDR looks a bit clamped. But maybe that's intended? Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge on this stuff.

[ebon stream]

RTX HDR will always make whites hit full brightness, its just the nature of how it works. Native hdr will not always hit peak but it will have more details in highlights than sdr.

[odd ridge]

Makes sense. Maybe my untrained eyes didn't notice the increased highlight details compared to SDR.

Anyways, I mainly wanted to know if the mod works as intended OOTB in Planet of Lana. If it does (for the most part), then all is good. Thanks for the help guys.

[lyric wraith]

I just tested, it works perfectly 😎

[celest sapphire]

grime 2 is unfinishable, game cant end

[last nexus]

sounds like intel arc problem

[raw crow]

Hi, upgraded R8g8b8 in Elementallis in order to push highlights past paper white, it worked but the highlights sort of undulate and get extremely blown out, particularly with things like light sparkles in water. Is there a fix for this?

[main wharf]

Send ReShade.log please, will have a look later.
Not sure what you mean by "upgraded r8g8b8" as this should be set to Output Size by default.

[raw crow]

Thank you, attaching log and screenshots of r8g8b8 at output size (highlights staying @ 203) and any size (highlights past 203 but wacky as the water "shimmers")

[main wharf]

Aye thanks. Try that maybe

[raw crow]

thank you, the issue is gone now

[faint loom]

sliders for contrast and saturation are missing?

[main wharf]

Yea, usually means game isn't supported. As in sliders wouldn't do anything in this case anyway since addon can't find any relevant shader to replace.
What game is it? Feel free to dump shaders and share but can't promise anything here.

[faint loom]

The game is Moomintroll Winter's Warmth. I will dump shaders later, thanks.

[rocky steppe]

are there any specific advice on subnautica, many of the sliders don't work so i'm likely not doing everything correctly

[main wharf]

Uhm, any warning in addon UI? Maybe LutBuilder hides in which case sliders values would only update on game reload or maybe setting change.

[rocky steppe]

didn't see any warning in the reno tab that i can remember

i'll have a look again tomorrow

[main wharf]

Mmh, I dunno if there's any HDR or even post-processing there, looks pretty raw and flat.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256150/Moomintroll_Winters_Warmth

[odd ridge]

Hey guys. I'm trying to use the mod on Nocturnal. I'm not getting HDR. Max nits seems stuck to whatever Game Brightness is set to (203). I upgraded R10G10B10A2_TYPELESS according to the wiki mods page and set it to Output Size. What am I doing wrong?
Appreciate all you guys's work. Loving RenoDX mods when I get it to work.

[main wharf]

Set the upgrade to Any Size for this and also default upgrade (R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS).
Or get rid of letter-boxing somehow I guess.

Oh, maybe game renders in 21/9 ratio like REPLACED at launch 🤔

[odd ridge]

Omg, setting both to Any Size worked. Thank you so much! 🙏

The game has black bars on top and bottom. Is this what you mean by 21/9 ratio? Is this the reason I have to pick Any Size and not the other two options?

Sorry, I'm a total newbie to these things.

[main wharf]

Yes, and yes.
I have 21/9 monitor so I wouldn't get any black bars and Output Size would be enough for me.

"Output" is window size (= monitor in fullscreen). Resources upgrades happen when game renders.

So Output Ratio can have to be used when using upscaling (DLSS/FSR) or driver's VSR/DSR.
And Any Size when ratio doesn't match (e.g. window boxing/black bars).

[odd ridge]

Ok, interesting. Here's what I gathered from what you wrote:

• Output Size if the game renders in the same aspect ratio as my monitor in full screen?
• Output Ratio if upscaling or downscaling using DLSS/DSR etc?
• Any Size if the rendering aspect ratio doesn't match my monitors aspect ratio in full screen?

If there's a guide or something explaining this I'd gladly let you point me in that direction. I'm sorry to bother you. You're helping me out a ton here, though. Very much appreciated. 🙏

[main wharf]

Yea pretty much.
Latest Most recent pinned message (troubleshooting) must have that somewhere.

[odd ridge]

I didn't even know there was a pinned troubleshooting message in the channel. That's perfect. I'll look through it right away.

Thanks again for all the help.

[cyan shadow]

So I was trying out Cloudpunk with the latest version of the mod and it doesn't matter which options I configure (I looked at the pinned troubleshooting guide), Game/UI sliders behave wrong and the game looks overblown.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this game yet, because it has a fantastic cyberpunk artstyle and begs for HDR! Some screenies to see what's wrong:

SDR vs HDR

I also made a shader dump after playing for a while:

[main wharf]

Try that.
FYI ReShade.log's mostly useful to me when unity addon is loaded. Also devkit can be loaded along addon (in most cases).
Anyway, hoping this works and I don't need log 😅

[cyan shadow]

Ahh lol, I removed the addon when using the devkit, because the game kept crashing with both active. 😱 Should've thought at generating the log without the devkit. Silly me!
Thanks for the updated mod! I'll try it when I'm home later today. 😉

[main hornet]

so getting HDR to work in zenless zone zero is a pain or no?

ive modded some other games and they have these dedicated .addon64 files

[woven crag]

https://discord.com/channels/1161035767917850784/1330764788711555166

[main hornet]

thank you boss

[cyan shadow]

Good news. HDR works properly now! I played for a bit and it looks stunning! Game and UI brightness sliders also behave correctly now. Me very happy!!!! 😁 What was the solution to Cloudpunk?

[main wharf]

Unity's post-processing shaders I found in dump were already in addon, but one from some store asset was not so I added that.

[ebon mauve]

Heya! Im using this mod for Kerbal Space Program and it looks great with all engine fire and stuff reaching max nits, but it looks a bit odd that the sun only reaches like 40% of my max nits. Is there any way to like manually pick out the sun and allow it to reach higher nits?

It's so close to perfection 😭

[main wharf]

Using REST addon maybe

[ebon mauve]

Sorry, but what is that?

Found it! I'll play around a bit and see if i come up with anything

[main wharf]

https://github.com/4lex4nder/ReshadeEffectShaderToggler
You'd need shader that draws the sun to be "unique". Then by selecting it in a group in REST you should be able to apply a ReShade.fx only to that, allowing for example to bump its brightness or change its color or whatever.
It can be tricky at first, feel free if something is unclear. Also I'm not sure what ReShade effect should be used there, but would have to be HDR-compatible one, which there aren't many.

[ebon mauve]

The guide for REST seems to recommend SuperDepth3D

[main wharf]

Uhm nah I don't think you need that

[ebon mauve]

Seems like there is no shader that only has the sun :(

[main wharf]

Oof. Well in this case, not sure what could be done... To mod game another way I guess, not from shaders.

[brave summit]

Force_Pipeline_Cloning crashes my game with Easy Red 2 DX12

It works with DX11, but not with DX12.

Some things don't load on DX12

Like the UI

[celest sapphire]

btw i found why grime 1 and grime 2 are too dark by default.. its because of vignette, idk if you can set it to 0 specificaly for theses games on the addon

[brave summit]

I fixed it by installing the devkit

[main wharf]

Uhm, too dark compared to what?
Default Vignette value should be vanilla game untouched.

[chilly yacht]

@main wharf Man, I’ve really enjoyed Replaced in HDR; it has some truly impactful moments. Thanks for your work!

[chilly pine]

addon completely fucks up ingame screenshots for demons tide lol

works great otherwise

[main wharf]

Still got access to game's demo, will see if I can reproduce and fix there.
Thanks for feedback!

[chilly pine]

np, its really funny so I dont mind at all

[main wharf]

Yea game gets HDR when it expects SDR so shit goes wild. Resource format mismatch or something I dunno.
I've had that happen in multiple mods/games, couldn't always fix it. Managed to do so in Tainted Grail which is Unity aswell, so it's worth a shot.

[fiery vapor]

sounds like what happens with the source engine when using DXVK-HDR

[woven crag]

This happens in Starsand Island whenever you use ingame camera to take pictures (some quests require you to). It's some horror grade hilarious stuff when you give this slop back to NPCs and they're so pleased with what a great photographer you are

[proper vine]

weird never had this issue

wait is this reshade?

or special feature in the game

[chilly pine]

only renodx

no shaders or other addons st all

[woven crag]

Also Starsand Island seems to have some weird issues again (missing textures on ground?) last I played it, but I'm not playing it atm because all the new gacha slop completely took over all my time, it's an early access state anyway and sometimes it just seems weird stuff going on with that game that reinstalls (or shader wiping?) can maybe fix

It's probably something that is not mod related, that game is just weird sometimes

NTE came around and it's basically kinda like Starsand in some ways but also much more at the same time and the game is like do you want to dedicate all your time to an enhanced version of this instead? Me: yes

[primal saddle]

has anyone tried frozen ship demo? cant get reno to work. ui brightness for me affects highlights, image is washed out and peak brightness is ui nits
rtx hdr off, tried R11G11B10_FLOAT, tried R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS, tried both hdr10 and scRGB. borderless mode

[main wharf]

UI Brightness affecting highlights usually means there's some SDR clamp somewhere.
R11G11B10 already supports HDR range, it only unclamps colors from BT709 space so it wouldn't help here.
RGB10A2_typeless or RGBA8_typeless to Any Size maybe.
Though it's a free demo, I'll just have a look in a bit and let you know.

[primal saddle]

Hero! Looks like a cool game, sorry i searched - I absolutely just reporting my experience with it.
interestingly. rtx hdr doesnt hook for me either which is extremely rare in my memory

Thank you very, very, very much for kinds words and support - I tried all your and all pinned suggestions - sorry to report that neither worked.

[main wharf]

Uhm, I'm not sure why you have issue, addon works just out-of-the-box here.

Maybe some overlay is messing with RenoDX ? Usually either RTSS or Nvidia App.
I never use any so I dunno about Steam's overlay or others.

Everything just works as intended, no need for any upgrade or messing around.

[main wharf]

Please send ReShade.log if you keep having issues after disabling overlays/background apps.

(I'm using LUT scaling hence HDR/Reno being darker than vanilla)

[primal saddle]

wow! that looks incredible!! let me see and ill report back immediately thank you

i restarted the rig disabled all overlays and killed everything running and its working im sorry to have bothered you :/
LUT scaling option where may I ask please, scaling per channel luminance OR user lut scaling (the latter one doesnt seem to do much/anyting).
my only remaining concern is peak nits are almost a 1000 lower than I set - but night and day better than SDR

[main wharf]

No worries.
Internal LUT Scaling is the one I used there.
Yea game doesn't seem to get much bright, though I think skybox is clamped in shader before post-processing/tonemapping. Will see if I can improve that.

[primal saddle]

Thank you very much for your brilliant help and Im honestly sorry to bug. have a wonderful day

[bronze galleon]

REPLACED 1.1.0.2 finally dropped on GOG 🙂
Idk what you think about the Chapter Selection preview videos, Voosh, but there might be some bespoke stuff to do to these

Doesn't really matter tbh but as is, they don't look right

[main wharf]

Uhm, will have a look thanks.
Still haven't played game 🙈

[bronze galleon]

Waiting for it to become FineWine is a great move 😉

If you have a Dualsense, you may as well hold a little longer (like maybe a couple months) for them to implement Haptics (at least - I hope they'll use all features)

[primal saddle]

oh wow devs said they will include haptics? thatd be nice. there is now a wireless solution (involving pico 2 w) for proper wireless haptics under win

[bronze galleon]

There's DSX too but vDS Audio is still in closed beta

Pico does work rather nicely tho

[main wharf]

Aw, this is trickier than I thought because bloom goes wild with stuff unclamped...

[main wharf]

Uhm, the one I can see (Prologue) looks the same with or without addon. Any detail what's going on on your side? Or screenshot maybe

[bronze galleon]

Yeah that's the thing, there's no "upgrade" or partial auto HDR to them

Not that it would make them look better, I genuinely don't know, hence the suggestion/question

[main wharf]

Oh right. Well yea they're just pre-rendered videos.
Uhm I get what you mean though, I actually have videos shaders in addon but I'm not doing anything inside. I probably planned to add ITM and forgot 😅
Will add this in addon rewrite along with an "HDR Videos" toggle.

Just waiting for devkit to be fixed so I can test and debug stuff there.

[bronze galleon]

That'd be interesting 🙂

[rotund steppe]

It’s probably better than a software solution. DSX got overtaken badly

[bronze galleon]

Do you think it can play nice in that UI since it's not fullscreen ?

[bronze galleon]

It has hw limitations which still make local software solution more powerful and flexible

Also there's absolutely no remapping abilities (yet ?) with that method

[rotund steppe]

Whats the hw limitation?

[bronze galleon]

DSX still has way more features as is but yeah, the closed beta has been worked on so snaily past few months that "dongle" is a hit... but overtaken surely not

Pico's power, simply

It's almost maxed out as is, already OC'd for the FW to work

[rotund steppe]

But it works. What’s the issue if it works

[bronze galleon]

It can't do anything more

Basically

So adding logic to remap stuff might not be feasable

[rotund steppe]

Doesn’t need to do anything else (?) I get the point of DSX having more options but I tried that app and I thought it was a bloated mess

[main wharf]

No clue. It'll work since game upgrades "Any Size", but will it look any good I dunno, hence why I'm not adding that without a toggle to enable/disable it 😅

[bronze galleon]

And it only supports one controller (but all official dongles are like that anyway)

[bronze galleon]

I'm intimately familiar with said mess, I know... But still has the edge over anything else currently, just not in availability for those game native audio based features

[rotund steppe]

The haptic feature is the only one that matters imo. Everything else can be handled with things like steam input usually

[bronze galleon]

I'm partially to blame as I pushed back desires to release early but it just wasnt ready yet in the feature set

Far from it, SI can't do shit about DS specific features

[rotund steppe]

I mean if you want to do custom stuff for games yeah

But to take advantage of native dualsense features like if it was a ps5 the pico is more than enough

[bronze galleon]

Yeah but that's all it can do, being a bridge for BT use

Now I get it's what many DSX users were and are still waiting for, but then if the Pico satisfies them fully they're not the target audience

[rotund steppe]

Could be yeah

[bronze galleon]

Personally I couldn't do without DSX (not as a former team member, I've no horse in this race anymore but) because of the (re)mapping features and DSX mods, the day it gets out and the Mod System API is available to modders, it will be a powerhouse for modders to craft native like experiences for any game

Tapping into any game engine to re-route some SFX and tweak them on the fly (or use externally added ones if need be) to a DS would be so awesome

[rotund steppe]

Yeah the custom mods if it’s massively adopted it could be cool. Thats true

[bronze galleon]

That's what I pushed Pali to focus on since september last year in the midst of early R&D for wireless haptics/speakerfx, alas he only started tackling this recently but the potential is there, just needs solid foundations delivered to modders and hopefully adoption indeed

[rotund steppe]

I hope it can work thru the pico too

The mods I mean

[bronze galleon]

Oh ofc, it does

[rotund steppe]

Nice!

[bronze galleon]

DSX sees it as a wired DS like any other soft 🙂

[rotund steppe]

I say that cause it also acts as a individual dongle and I like that

[rotund steppe]

Yeah but it would override the native haptics with the DSX ones no?

[bronze galleon]

Yeah many users love its complementary nature to the app already, helps some of them having shitty BT dongle too lol

[bronze galleon]

Nope, Pico only resamples and encodes what it's fed

And sends over BT ofc

Guess you could double boost haptics/speaker tho but it would be distorted af

[rotund steppe]

Ohhhhhh gotcha

Well then I hope DSX mods become an actual thing

Would be cool

[bronze galleon]

They are cool already 😉 Just none do Haptics/SpeakerFX (yet 🤞 ), only Adaptive Triggers and LED effects

[rotund steppe]

Im just interested in the haptics tbh

And when I looked there weren’t many available

[bronze galleon]

Fair enough 🙂
Sadly, yeah 🙁

It's a niche within a niche

[rotund steppe]

Yeah that’s why I don’t see much use in DSX for me

I just use pico and enjoy the games that have it native and that’s it

[bronze galleon]

🙂 for me the only things missing from it are remote wake (just to have it tho, would likely not use it often at all) and SK being able to show the input latency (it shows everything else otherwise)

Trying to get chat back on topic somewhat (sorry Voosh), it's a pity most Unity games don't have Haptics/SpeakerFX support with Dualsense, Unity's implementation is nice an many games use the LED but usually that's it, often no feedback or just Rumble

In a way it's like HDR, engine is totally capable but it's never made use of

[brave summit]

Here's some shaders I dumped from Easy Red 2

on DX12

[main wharf]

Here, added one missing shader from dump

[calm smelt]

Hey voosh, I am trying to use the renoDX mod in outer wilds, and there's a specific conflict with the number 1 mod used in outer wilds, vanilla fix

[main wharf]

Uuuh, tell me more, what's going on ?

[calm smelt]

The main menu buttons do not load while vanillafix is enabled

[main wharf]

What buttons? Is that screenshot of the issue? Also, how is this related to RenoDX..?

[calm smelt]

I tried reverting to an older version of vanillafix that i know works, and it still doesn't load, so I'm, assuming its something that changed with renodx?

I made sure to tell the dev of vanillafix

[main wharf]

I don't think RenoDX has anything to do with this to be honest. I didn't know about vanilla fix mod before you mentioned it so I'm not sure about that.

https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/comments/pxat6w/comment/henly7c/
Seems like it could just be a game issue..?

https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/comments/1rny8kk/outer_wilds_main_menu_ui_invisible_but/

https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/comments/py6f46/no_buttons_on_the_main_menu/

[calm smelt]

without renoDX works fine, until I use it, and the issue is with vanillafix

if i disable vanillafix, works fine, its weird

[main wharf]

Yea weird, I dunno. I can download game and try to reproduce

Though again I really don't think it has to do anything with RenoDX

[calm smelt]

vanillafix on + renodx off

[main wharf]

Is this vanilla fix?
https://github.com/JohnCorby/ow-vanilla-fix

[calm smelt]

vanillafix on + renodx on^

[calm smelt]

yes

https://outerwildsmods.com/mod-manager/

vanilla fix is a dependency for quantum space buddies which is multiplayer basically

fully modded in multiplayer 4p coop

install these 2 mods, time saver will skip the splash screen that will waste 30 seconds everytime

if i disable vanillafix, loads with renodx, vice versas

enable force exe in the OWML settings to save a few extra seconds

[main wharf]

Doesn't mean issue is caused by any of these mods.
Either way I tried and can't reproduce, sorry. Both RenoDX and Vanilla Fix, still got main menu buttons. 🤷

Found the issue. Was skipping tonemapping curve indeed 🤦

sdrCurve = (color * (color + a) - b) / (color * (c * color + d) + e);
sdrCurve = max(0, color);

[lyric wraith]

I adjusted the settings for a while until I could configured it to look decently. I can share my preset for Nocturnal, if you wish

[odd ridge]

Cool! I'm completely new to all of this stuff, but if you feel like guiding me through how to use your preset, then sure. Is it a file or do I just copy your settings from a screenshot?

[main wharf]

RenoDX presets are stored in ReShade.ini file.
It's possible to copy/paste values there to share presets.

[lyric wraith]

here is my preset for Noctural. I finished the game, and it looked pretty decent overall. put in the game folder, it will replace the one you have

[main wharf]

I wouldn't copy the whole file as it also stores other stuff.
Just [renodx-preset] section

[lyric wraith]

maybe the [renodx] too? I enabled the upgrade on a bunch of other formats, I did a quick inspection with the devkit, and I just noticed some targets weren't upgraded. not sure if necessary, but it didn't break anything

[main wharf]

Up to you. Required upgrades are Any Size (=3) for RGBA8_typeless and RGB10A2_typeless, at least on 16/9 screen due to game rendering in 21/9 ratio.
Output size would work if you can get rid of letter-boxing (black bars).

[calm smelt]

With time saver?

[main wharf]

No. Just Reno and Vanilla fix.
Feel free to disable Time saver and try just both mods I had, but again I'm not sure if issue is related since it seems to happen for some without any mod.

[calm smelt]

happens with and without time saver either odd

[main wharf]

Yeaaaa, try to check what those reddit posts say. Something about deleting game settings save or whatever.

[calm smelt]

is reshade/renodx possibly messing with something related to saves

or language?

[main wharf]

No.

Doesn't affect gameplay, only rendering/graphics.
And given vanilla fix seems to mostly affect gameplay I wouldn't expect both to have any interaction.

[calm smelt]

i see

[sweet mural]

So Sonic Superstars is made on Unity? Does that mean it works with this mod? 🤔

[uneven sluice]

try it

[main wharf]

Yea this, try and see. If doesn't work and you're motivated plug devkit from pinned message, dump shaders and send here.
Will see if I can do something.

[chrome crescent]

Settings for inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories (which on Unity) to make RenoDX works.

[main wharf]

The 2 latest are very unusual, sure they're making any difference?
Thanks for sharing either way

[chrome crescent]

I pushed the buttons like a monkey until everything worked within 30 minutes.

[odd ridge]

Thanks! I played around with your preset. I copied the [renodx-preset] and [renodx] sections. To my eyes, it was a bit too dark on my LG C1 in some parts. I might have to tune the contrast or game brightness a smidge to make it work for me. Aside from that, I dig it.

I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind. Again, I'm completely new to RenoDX mods.

Nocturnal is currently "in progress" on the wiki page. Is the preset you now shared taking the game from the "in progress" state to what you guys (RenoDX modders) would consider to be "Working" state? Or is this more just your "subjective take" on this particular game? I'm guessing it's the latter?

Building on that - With the default OOTB settings + RGBA8_TYPELESS and R10G10B10A2_TYPELESS set to Any Size, is this considered having achieved the RenoDX goal presentation for this game OOTB? Or is this where the "in progress" icon on the wiki page comes in?

Sorry for the lengthy questions. I'm just a confused noob trying to formulate these things as best as I can.

[main wharf]

Most games are marked in progress, means lack of testing/feedback or wiki update. No subjective stuff, just a kind of "mod is compatible but may break at some point.".
Automating resource upgrades/compatibility settings per game is possible, and done for a few already.
Dunno if I'll ever add all games, there's a lot. But anyone can contribute these, should be similar to https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Unreal-Engine:-Contributing-Game-Specific-Defaults

[severe burrow]

hey good fellas

I was looking into how you guys do specific games reno addons in the tutorial sections but got heartbroken when I saw there's quite a bit of coding and understanding of some bit of shading language etc when you do mods

we have the unity and unreal generalist addons that luckily work with a bunch of games but is there anything even more generalist? I was planning on reading and following tutorial steps to make my first renodx mods but got deflated when I realize how out of my league the doing it from scratch is :(

Wanted to give it a go at The Rifbreaker and Surviving Mars - specially cause they''ve just realeased a remaster of sorts but both use proprietary engines

I tried using the unity one on the first suviving mars and couldn't even get past a black screen menu lmao

are there any things I could theoretically try or is there really no way unless I can bribe someone with a gift to make one if it's not one of those odd cases of cursed games? :p

[brave summit]

More Easy Red 2 shaders I dumped

[twin wharf]

Probably more effective to use Special K for that.
It can change the fixed tick rate as well as limit the simulation thread rather than render.

[main wharf]

Nothing I can use in this. Is addon still warning about missing shader?

[woven crag]

So it doesn't break the game physics?

[brave summit]

yeah

[main wharf]

Aye, well dunno why that 2nd one only has a very few shaders. Just send the whole folder again please, doesn't matter if already added shaders are there.

[twin wharf]

Depends on the game for the fixed-tick change.
But the fact that SK paces the game thread also fixes a massive amount of the timing problems, the fixed-tick problem mostly just results in animation that's not appropriately smooth for the current framerate... rarely is it the cause of stutter.

It's an absolute night and day difference in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
I always thought that was fixed update rate, but it's largely just the render and game thread being separate.

[woven crag]

I wish I could know how to do this. Framegen (smooth motion) creates artifacts in this game and I don't like it

And panning at 60 certainly is jittery once you notice it can't unsee it, just one of those things

[uneven sluice]

it's 2 boxes to tick in SK

can't get any simpler

[woven crag]

hm, never seen them. Ok I'll take a look. Is that in-game or in the app? And does it persist between sessions?

I need it to persist otherwise it's too much hassle

[uneven sluice]

persistent

all in the SK control panel

[torn rose]

@main wharf hello, i tried loading Hellish Quart again with updates. The good thing is - all the sliders work correctly, but there is still this terrain bug i was mentioning the last time. There is still nothing that can be done about it?

[verbal lotus]

oh man I 100%'d that game not knowing this was available. I kind of want to go back and try now.

Hoping the Replaced devs finally fix it soon so I can give it a play

[twin wharf]

Yeah. I couldn't actually sit down and enjoy the game until something was done about that stutter 😛
Resulted in a lot of Unity-specific features in SK for input and frame pacing, so that disaster of a game (performance wise) was a net positive.

It's actually hard-coded for 60 Hz.
So they knew it was a problem, but it just went from one very uncommon framerate to a more common but still not native framerate.

Most games stick with the default 50 Hz.

[odd ridge]

Hey guys. I'm still unsure of what to do with Nocturnal. I may be hallucinating, but i think Default OOTB preset with RGBA8_TYPELESS and R10G10B10A2_TYPELESS set to Any Size has some kind of gamma/mid tones raise compared to original SDR 2.2 gamma (HDR off. Reshade/RenoDX uninstalled).

I just want the original SDR look but with proper highlights like RenoDX usually gives, but I'm not fully comfortable with messing with the sliders to "fix" Nocturnal.

Has anyone else noticed this gamma/mid tones mismatch with the default OOTB preset or am I hallucinating this?

[sour drum]

so about phasmophobia, I just got around to playing it and apparantely it does have eye adaptation

also I forgot to dump FSR

this dump should include fsr and some other graphical options

[bronze galleon]

Unity not changing this default value is infuriating

[brave summit]

here's more ER2 shaders

[woven crag]

I don't know the game but it sounds unlikely that would be a thing even after applying the gamma toggles. Are you sure it's maybe not just the way game is? How does untouched SDR look?

[odd ridge]

I'm just going between pure SDR (Windows settings HDR Off, Reshade files removed) and HDR On with Reshade and RenoDX addon added.

My TV uses 2.2 gamma in both cases. SDR looks deeper and darker, as if there's a gamma difference between the two.

[woven crag]

Ok that's weird

[odd ridge]

I wish could see them side by side and even share it but I don't know how to do that. It would also confirm whether I'm hallucinating or not. Taking photos using my phone camera is not ideal, to say the least 😄

[lyric wraith]

works out of the box, partially. the Color Grading sliders don't have any effect. the game is called Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure, and it's an excellent 2D puzzle game

[main wharf]

Shaders from this are already in addon. Though according to log they're not used... Pretty weird.

[main wharf]

Uhm, all shaders from this are already in addon. Make sure to trigger "missing shader" while devkit is there, only then will it be able to dump it.

[main wharf]

Uuuuuh. So I realized game was free on Epic, checking now.
No idea what's going on, shit's really weird. Devkit shows shaders are there, but they don't do anything. I also get no shader replacement in log despite devkit showing me it happens.

[dusty parrot]

New to reno unity trying the Deep dish dungeon demo what do I do if everthing is black and red

Might be do to the costom pixle effect

[dusty parrot]

never mind just read pins

[lyric wraith]

No worries. Thanks for the effort! It's a small 2d game, and the hdr is not that impactful, it's only noticeable for some blended effects

[brave summit]

Where can I find "missing shader"?

Another dump, since I noticed messed up colours

[paper sandal]

some screens of olden era with unity reno (SDR/HDR)

on lava screen it was something about missing shader

[odd osprey]

Why is it doing this when all is up to date?

It’s version 6.7.3. Too

[main wharf]

First time I see this, no idea what it is.

[desert herald]

"it"?

looks like display-commander, not renodx: https://github.com/pmnoxx/display-commander/blob/c2665db4a5a4626994abf015f07d97af8901625d/src/addons/display_commander/reshade_module_detection.cpp#L243

MessageBoxA(nullptr, debug_info.c_str(), "ReShade Version Incompatible - Update Required",

[odd osprey]

Sorry I wasn’t sure which it so thank you lol

Wonder why as reshade is up to date

[uneven sluice]

Gamble With Your Friends dump
Reno complains about a missing output shader, however devkit + unityreno crashes the game instantly (no window is created)
Log is from devkit + reno crash

The game has an HDR toggle but it doesn't seem to be working at all, reshade picks up the game as SDR always

It also has DX11/DX12/Vulkan renderers
DX12 vsync is completely busted and has massive stutters (like, hitch every second), driver vsync + display commander is butter smooth

[main wharf]

I meant to trigger broken colors/addon warning about missing shader while devkit is loaded, so it can dump corresponding shader.
Anyway found a couple in latest dump, here should be gud hopefully.
Also @uneven sluice has GWYF stuff.

[uneven sluice]

will check it out after i get some sleep

[main wharf]

Honestly no clue why this happens. Can it be fixed, very likely. Do I know how, absolutely not.
Maybe try that one 🤷

[brave summit]

Could you check this dump? I found some more missing shaders

idk if you saw it

[main wharf]

I did check and did find a couple.

[brave summit]

nice, could you send the updated Unity RenoDX?

[main wharf]

Added them in that one build

[brave summit]

got it

[main wharf]

^

[brave summit]

thanks!

[brave summit]

Also, Easy Red 2 only works with devkit also being used

without it, it crashes on DX12.

[torn rose]

didnt work 🙁

but thanks anyway

[uneven sluice]

works with DX11, DX12 is completely broken:
mouse cursor is gone, most of the UI is gone, publisher logo doesn't appear when starting the game

forgot to dump shaders with in-game film grain enabled

[main wharf]

Yea I'm not surprised, there have been similar reports on other games. It used to work before I updated RenoDX base code. Hopefully is fixed with latest. Feel free to try the TEST build above with dx12.

[main wharf]

^

[uneven sluice]

the game runs at 240 locked on my machine either way, so im not sure if dx12 is that much more worth over dx11
tooltip on steam says dx11 is for lower end machines, dx12 for higher end, and vulkan for performance lol

i'll try out the test build on dx12 later

[uneven sluice]

nope test build with dx12 is still broken

[main wharf]

Still crashes with pipeline cloning? This is what devkit supposedly adds that fixes things, hence why I added a slider.

[uneven sluice]

doesn't crash, but still has the symptoms i described earlier

mouse cursor is gone, most of the UI is gone, publisher logo doesn't appear when starting the game

[main wharf]

Yea this is what pipeline cloning is supposed to fix... Mmh, what else would devkit be doing to fix this. 🤔
Anyway thanks for feedback, will try to figure this out.

[paper sandal]

with devkit in Olden era some game windows are black but game UI is available

I opened devkit window, how can I autodump?

[bronze galleon]

This reminds me, should you have not had a look at it yet, that Mirage7 is a relevant case to check a 32bit game for graphical issues caused by Reno, similar to the ones in iRacing Arcade but without the no UI thing

(missing textures, wrong Z position terrain etc)

[paper sandal]

Is that right? Just make zip of dump folder in renodx-dev folder?

[main wharf]

Wait uuuh, dx12 32-bit..?

Aw nevermind, it's not the missing UI thing but something else.

[bronze galleon]

Yeah two different things but that one GFX commonality

• Mirage7: 32bit dx11 with missing and wrongly positioned textures
• iRacing Arcade: 64bit dx12 with missing and wrongly positioned textures AND missing UI (devkit solving the UI, not the textures iirc should double check eventually)

Now iRacing Arcade does have a binding for toggling the UI (touchpad on Dualsense or Create/Share on Dualsense/Duashock4, dunno about keyboard) so maybe Reno could be triggering the function doing this but that's far fetched

[main wharf]

Doubt it. The missing UI thing seems to only happen in dx12 (d3d11on12) since I rebased some of RenoDX recent changes.
Something about swapchain proxy I think.
Missing textures has been reported in a few games, some dx11 aswell, and has been going on for a while.
The more cases I got the more likely I am to figure out what's going on, thanks for reports as usual!

[main wharf]

Yea looks about right. Try this

[desert tapir]

This is working wonderfully for me in "Nuclear Option", with the Steam launch option set to simply "play NO", not DX12 or Vulkan 🙌

@fiery escarp You were the only other comment I could find about the game here lol, thought you'd want to know. Much better than RTX HDR on being able to tune the UI nits alone

[fiery escarp]

Yup, thanks for letting me know. Won't be home for a few weeks though,I'll definitely give it a try when I'm back

[main wharf]

Oh, almost missed that. Here

[desert tapir]

This is also working perfectly for me in "Gunner, HEAT, PC!" (GHPC). Not having any foliage or ground texture bugs like were reported before IIRC, and those were systems in the game which have been receiving a lot of work in the recent updates so unsurprising.

[sour drum]

@main wharf sry to ping, anything on this dump?

[main wharf]

Checked again, all shaders there are already in addon. Dunno if you got a "missing shader" warning, if so gotta trigger it again with devkit loaded.

[chrome crescent]

Update. For for inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories.
Previous did create graphical artifacts when changin' graphics settings. Now it's works as it should.

[sour drum]

weird, it gave the usual missing output shader warning + deep fry when disabling some settings

I originally dumped with everything enabled, so I assumed I forgot some settings off

Ok, so I did the prev dump with PQ LUT shaper, maybe that was the problem? I re-dumped with vanilla. FSR and film grain seem to be missing output shaders

I'll also probably add the note to disable autoexposure setting in-game

[main wharf]

Nah addon settings should have no effect on that.
Will check in a bit thanks.

[sour drum]

it warns about switching pq to vanilla for correct output

[main wharf]

Yeaaaa visually speaking. To "un-deepfry" stuff

[sour drum]

ooooh, right. I thought this meant correct output for the devkit

[main wharf]

I'm not sure why, no new/missing shader in this either. Are you sure devkit is actually dumping new ones? Maybe auto-dump is disabled and you didn't press "Dump All" button after changing game settings?

Aw wait, maybe shaders aren't decompiling for some reason... Lemme check .asm

[main wharf]

Nope. Yea I dunno

[sour drum]

yeah idk, this is what film grain off/fsr on show 🤷‍♂️

[woven crag]

dump for this super fun (pun intended) evolutionary spin on survivors genre

i'm not sure if there's any point chasing HDR here but uhm just in case, because I really really love the game

so far UI slider = everything so tonemapping or fakehdr doesn't work

I played it clamped at 100 nits and i had so much fun had no time to think about HDR, but uhm.. well, made a dump anyway, just in case

[woven crag]

This might be one of those "raw" games actually without any shaders going on. If anything I only had issue at night and maybe if only there was UI seperation so I could get my game brighter (nights have significantly reduced vision and are very dark) it's why I had to play at 100 nits, otherwise the UI would keep blasting you

And I didn't even get to this snowy area, hmm. Maybe not the best candidate for HDR transformation but I'm interested what Voosh will have to say

Game is 10/10 funtime tho , I played a ton of survivor clones and this one really brings that invigorating evolution element to it, it's really well thought out and fun to play

Yes our most fun modern games run on literally NES Super Mario Bros 3 graphics

It's doesn't even try to be anything fancy. It's straight up old school

[heavy axle]

Hey Voosh, I see from this comment that Slime Rancher 1 worked at this time, do you remember any particular advanced setting to enable to make it work ? Because on my end the colors are washed out

[main wharf]

Swapchain encoding to gamma likely

[heavy axle]

I get this, not sure if I can override this setting ?

[main wharf]

Oh shit, might be a bug. Will check when home

[heavy axle]

Thank you 👍 I had an earlier version of Unity yesterday and had the same issue, not sure if it's tied to the game specifically

[paper sandal]

looks like it works, thanks

[bronze galleon]

For a moment I read

https://tenor.com/view/roger-waters-pink-floyd-dance-roger-waters-dance-gif-21036195

[main wharf]

Here

[main wharf]

Can't find anything that looks like post-processing here. Maybe REST with some ITM ReShade effect could do though

[surreal haven]

nice, thanks man

[woven crag]

thanks for looking into it!

[woven crag]

So you're saying even if you wanted to do the UI seperation, it wouldn't be possible because there's nothing to hook on? Just want to understand, so I don't bother you with similar situations

[main wharf]

I'd have to get my hands on game to be 100% sure, but I checked every single pixel shader from dump (there weren't that many) and it didn't seem like it yea.
Again REST might work though.

[woven crag]

Uhh what's REST tho? 👀

[main wharf]

https://github.com/4lex4nder/ReshadeEffectShaderToggler

[woven crag]

Oh and this gives you introspect into shaders while in the game? So I could maybe find the UI stuff myself?

[main wharf]

Among other things it allows for example to apply ReShade effects behind UI.

For example ITM or brightness scaling.

[woven crag]

I'll take a look at that. If I can figure it out it would be a good bandaid solution for games like this and I know a couple

[main wharf]

Yeaaaa. I remember @snow wyvern had shared a version of AutoHDR shader that had UI scaling separated and worked with REST. I have no idea current state of things tho, been a while since I used it I don't have shader anymore.

[surreal haven]

this worked perfectly man, thanks again

[south stream]

Any update to the recommended settings for Pillars of Eternity II? I have followed them but game with Reno unity add on is super dark, almost like a gamma issue. No warnings being thrown in addon (once I enabled swapchain proxy).

[twin stump]

10 bucks for Voosh, keep up the good work!
looks amazing for SPT

[main wharf]

Mmh no idea, I'll check what's going on when I get the chance, though wiki suggests game renders in gamma space so I wouldn't expect things to be darker than intended, rather washed out if Swapchain Encoding is set to Linear instead of Gamma.

[south stream]

I did try both. Primarily because I saw something in Special K about Unity games tending to render in linear. Or it might have been that Special K automatically changes them to linear (sorry, didn't fully understand). I tried it without special K with wiki settings - produced the darkened picture. Tried it with Special K with wiki settings - same result. And with special K with linear - to me looks like what happens when you leave HDR on in an SDR game. Hope that helps!

[main wharf]

Yea that is the case for most Unity games, not all of them. Pillars of Eternity is one of the exceptions, even with just SpecialK HDR without RenoDX you'd likely have to set Content EOTF to SRGB here for things to look correct. Though again I'll double check and let you know what's going on.

Edit: nah, game very much renders in linear

[south stream]

You're awesome for even looking at it, thank you!

And yes when using special K I had to configure its HDR settings to srgb and then allow reshade to process (bypassing special K's HDR upgrades, tonemapping etc.)

[brave summit]

From Easy Red 2

Idk how to only capture missing shaders

[main wharf]

Don't worry about it just send all I'll figure out.

[main wharf]

Uhm it's weird af, mine is locked on Gamma. 🤔
Send ReShade.log please

[main wharf]

Aaaah, I think I know what's going on. You likely already had the following in ReShade.ini:

[renodx]
Swapchain_Encoding=0

Remove that line and it should set automatically to the right value (=1). Though that'd definitely be a bug, I'm pretty sure I intended this to be overwritten if detected.

[brave summit]

I sent all, could you send the updated renodx addon?

[main wharf]

On it, one moment please

[brave summit]

thank you.

[main wharf]

Uhm that is odd, all shaders from that latest dump are already in addon.

[brave summit]

strange, I was seeing some null pixels in the Stalingrad missions of Easy Red 2, so I made a dump.

[main wharf]

What do you mean by "null pixels"

[brave summit]

pitch black pixels

I'll try to take a screenshot

[main wharf]

Aw so no deepfried visuals and missing shader output. I wasn't looking for the right thing then, thooooo this is trickier to find. I'll see if I can figure it out tomorrow, might be a long search.

[brave summit]

this is how the corruption looks like

[main wharf]

Does it only happen behind UI or also "in-game"/render only ?

[brave summit]

both

though in-game is much rarer

it does happen

[brave summit]

wait, the corruption happens in vanilla too

must be an in-game bug

[main wharf]

That'd be the case only if it did happen without ReShade/RenoDX aswell, in which case I don't think there's much I can do.

But if RenoDX causes it, chances are that is because of resources upgrades. If you're familiar with ShaderToggler then you can use it to identify responsible pixel shader, select it and save toggle group then send ShaderToggler.ini file. Else I'll grab game to have a look myself eventually, just gotta be able to trigger it within 2 hours refund period. A game save would likely help in that case.

[woven crag]

Voosh, do you not have a Ko-Fi set up or something? As main upkeeper of this mod you should totally be listed on the contributions/support page it's like all this unity stuff is getting by unnoticed but so many games use this mod, it's universal yes but you're working on it all the time.

I know it's not much and might not even seem worth setting up for a couple of nickles and dimes, but I just feel like you should be listed there at least for recognition, because again unity is huge

What the hell is wrong with my eyes I was literally looking at it and I did not see it

Worryeyes

[twin stump]

for that you have to drop Voosh 1 more dollar 😛

[woven crag]

I'm sorry this is so embarrassing I was so sure it wasn't there sorry about this lol

[main wharf]

Took a try at fixing this and couldn't figure it out, sorry. Info should be added to wiki.
I hope photos aren't part of gameplay? In which case one can hide HUD and use ReShade's screenshot functionnality. This would actually be even better as would result in HDR pictures, whereas in-game functionnality would produce SDR pics even if it worked with addon.

[chilly pine]

no no please dont worrt about it, its just an optional feature

[main wharf]

Ugh, I'm trying to reproduce this but I don't have access to these missions, seems to be DLC. Tried some random other ones and haven't seen any artifact.
Lemme know if you need help using ShaderToggler to identify responsible shader, or if there's a way I can consistently reproduce artifacting.

[fiery vapor]

hey will the issue of the reflections being a different tonemapper in turbo overkill ever get fixed?

on the default grading

(altho yes this does appear in vanilla game, doesn't mean it should be left alone imo)

[main wharf]

What do you mean?

[fiery vapor]

look at the bubbles on the screen

then look at the reflection of the bubbles

[main wharf]

Reflections hue mismatch happens without RenoDX

It's a game perk

[fiery vapor]

yeah

can it be fixed?

[main wharf]

Or rather ACES perk

[fiery vapor]

-# pls

[main wharf]

I'm fairly sure "Alt grading" is devs solution for that. "Alt grading" setting came in same update as SSR and all it seems to do is getting rid of ACES xD

[fiery vapor]

ah

lol

wait does turbo overkill in renodx unity just adjust ACES or does it completely replace ACES?

[main wharf]

Replace. Been a while I played game but I think RenoDX should make it better

[fiery vapor]

while alt grading is an "easy fix" I do prefer base grading + renodx

maybe I'll dump the reflections shader?

[main wharf]

Nah, that wouldn't help

[fiery vapor]

oh

😔

[main wharf]

Addon rewrite will modify it (= extended curve since it's not full ACES but rather Unity's approximation curve). I added an "SDR tonemapper hue" slider so maybe playing with that will do, I dunno.
Here you can try that, tho it may not work in the game yet.

[fiery vapor]

oh nice

I've been wanting to get my hands on the rewrite just for Turbo Overkill

[main wharf]

When game renders, shit is blue so reflections are blue. It's only at the end of rendering (post-processing) when tonemapping occurs that ACES breaks stuff.
Something like it turns very bright blue purple, and when reflection is less bright that actual light eventually it doesn't shit and remains blue.
ACES perk

I remember ShortFuse shared something similar in some lego game

Yea here

It's hilarious really.

Though I'm not that bothered by this, especially since I witnessed it happening in real life through my eyes.

[fiery vapor]

😔

I'll see how the rewrite looks

oh btw do you have a build with neutwo?

[main wharf]

A blue light being purple, even pink but emitted light on the furthest wall would be blue. Camera would capture everything blue so I know light is actually blue.

[main wharf]

I use neutwo max channel for baked luts, but removed it as a display mapper because it was the worse of 3 I experimented with.

[fiery vapor]

oh

darn

[main wharf]

^

Basically not blowing out enough/at all

[fiery vapor]

ah

neutwo is probably best used with RENODX_RENO_DRT_WHITE_CLIP

[main wharf]

Ended up keeping just Psycho, removed Frostbite aswell to make addon lighter. Got really heavy after I moved tonemap & grading from lutbuilders to uber shaders.
Benefit of this is that we can now use most sliders even when lutbuilder "hides"/doesn't build lut every frame.

[main wharf]

Psycho also has clip I think, though I dunno if it's currently working, didn't seem to do anything when I tried.

[fiery vapor]

I think RENODX_RENO_DRT_WHITE_CLIP works in reverse?
the lower the number, the more clipping there is

it's how I got highlights in ULTRAKILL to look similar to SDR

[main wharf]

Yup'

[main wharf]

Yea current snapshot uses that heavily to match SDR. Whether it is with Reinhard or Hermite Spline.

Though it's not consistent, depends how bright game gets kinda.

[fiery vapor]

I still need to make the 3D hud in that game obey the UI brightness instead of game brightness

and then add the ITM'D shaders as a toggle

[main wharf]

There are 3 Hue sliders in this. I don't think I added description yet, also default values are pretty arbitrary (50 right in the middle for all 3 I think ?)

[fiery vapor]

I'll be releasing it as a standalone addon but when it's out feel free to add some of the shaders to RenoDX Unity

[main wharf]

One to match SDR tonemapper (if any), one to match straight clipping (= saturate) and Psycho's Hue Restore which undoes Psycho's own shifting.

[fiery vapor]

also am I the only one that likes to increase the highlight saturation when playing Turbo Overkill?

feels like the game should be a little more neon

[main wharf]

I am slowly testing it in different games/scenarios, things may change if it doesn't work well I dunno. Feedback's welcome!
Right now the thing that misses the most imo is some way to handle blowout/"white". Psycho's bleaching feels very light, though this may be from me misusing it I dunno.
Though from what I read ShortFuse may add something related in next Psycho versions, will see.

[main wharf]

Rewrite is way more colorful overall, basically because of what I just said. There isn't a "Highlight saturation" slider anymore for now.

[fiery vapor]

-#

okay maybe in this version it's still there

unless it didn't actually load

OH

I PUT IT IN ROR2 NOT TURBO OVERKILL 😭

actually speaking of RoR2, I feel like ROR2 is a very ACES griefed game

[main wharf]

Mmh, I dunno, iirc game renders everything super flat, then adds a bunch of contrast with grading and another bunch with ACES.
So probably grading is responsible aswell for whatever.
Then again I personally don't mind games look that much, as long as gameplay is fun and game's overall coherent.

[fiery vapor]

fair
I do play with the sliders a bit with RoR2

I see that psycho hue restore doesn't do anything?

in the menu at least

[fiery vapor]

I find that the fire shader in SOTV's Siphoned Forest environment gets griefed pretty hard

[main wharf]

It should, at least it did when I tried, though it is light indeed. Basically depends on how much Psycho shifts in the scene. If it does nothing then it's not shifting anything.
From what I've seen it's the usual per channel stuff, so for example orange turning yellowish. Hue restore would make it orange again, undoing the shift.

[fiery vapor]

oh yeah

I see now

turbo overkill's gonna need a lot more work, the rocket launcher screen turns from red to orange with psycho

[main wharf]

I mean, that's what Hue restore is there for. Just set it to 100 and psycho shouldn't shift anymore.

[main wharf]

^ "default values are pretty arbitrary"

I've been mostly looking for bugs/issues rather than matching SDR out-of-the-box for now. And even then, everyone seems to have a different expectation from HDR. Imo it shouldn't 100% match as it gets ugly, rather just have the same "direction". But sliders should allow you to match 100% if you want (e.g SDR Tonemapper Hue set to 100 matches pretty well in the couple ACES games I tried, it gets all the blurple and rorange the same).

[main wharf]

Aw, I think Clipping Hue should be set to 0. Doesn't really make sense when game originally doesn't clip (e.g. uses Unity's ACES)

I just added slider earlier today, haven't experimented much with it yet but it's mostly meant for games that don't originally tonemap.

So like, Turbo Overkill's "Alt Grading" would benefit from this, if you wanna match SDR that is.

[main wharf]

Aw wait, ignore what wiki says and what I said (I blindly trusted wiki info), Swapchain Encoding should be Linear, not Gamma.

That's why stuff's too dark, it was probably looking fine with default "Linear" setting, I guess

Awell since I got game installed now, will take another shot at fixing Bloom/"Glow effect".
Also I'm not sure about MSAA not working note in wiki, seems to be ok here. Will check later

[fiery vapor]

yeah for some reason clipping defaults to 100

SDR tonemapper hue also causes reds to go orange

[main wharf]

Yea so does SDR in this case. ACES's "rorange"

[main wharf]

I mean Hue, not Clipping slider

[main wharf]

I'll probably enable either one or the other. Both together don't make sense I think. Either SDR Tonemap Hue or SDR Clipping Hue

[fiery vapor]

oh huh alt grading is fixed in the rewrite nice

also is it me or are the blacks in the alt tonemapper raised?

I was always wondering what was so off about the alt grading and I finally figured it out?

here's base grading

[main wharf]

There's no alt tonemapper. They remove ACES for straight clipping. I don't know if color grading is also changed, maybe a bit but they surely didn't make up for ACES's removal loss of contrast so yea it's less "crushed"

[fiery vapor]

ah

[woven crag]

Theres no way you guys are still cooking with turbo overkill what the heck is up with this game

[main wharf]

I didn't do anything specific to that game, changes done in the build I shared above affect all games.

[main wharf]

^

[south stream]

Thanks again for looking at it. I felt like linear was a bit washed out but probably just my monitor hitting ABL in HDR1000 instead of TB400. Hey if it ends up resulting in fixed bloom/glow, it will be a win!

game is great

played it a good bit many months ago, been waiting for full release to jump back in

[fallen linden]

Yea I bought it already because of that

It does feel like f zero

[brave summit]

Dumped from Easy Red 2's beta, since I noticed some missing shaders.

[main wharf]

Uhm, can't find anything new in there, same shaders as before that are already in addon.

[chilly pine]

the dev is working overdrive releasing story chapters

he's awesome, check out his earlier games

[verbal lotus]

Anyone mess with Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters for upgrades? Was curious if there was any specific upgrades. Was testing with FFV but seems to mostly just change with UI brightness

[main wharf]

Is there any highlight? Looks pretty flat on screenshot. Some VFX maybe, are they unclamped with just resources upgrades?
If so you can see if Offsets are available in compatibility, to separate UI and render.
Can also try to enable Blit Copy Hack in case it isn't running in Auto mode for some reason, assuming this is available aswell.

[rocky steppe]

I recently played through all 6 of them, don’t think I recall seeing any point I thought it would be hdr under the hood

MAYBE some battle effects, MAYBE

[main wharf]

Yea stuff like that

[rocky steppe]

oh yeah

[brave summit]

I've been crashing randomly with DevKit + RenoDX Unity, and there is a ton of log spam.

Easy Red 2 crashes instantly with Force Pipeline Cloning on without DevKit.

I'll post the log

[main wharf]

I assume dx12 (or d3d11on12 fwiw) ? It is currently borked, not sure why.
I added Force Pipeline Cloning because I thought that's how devkit was making a difference, but it seems it's not all there is.
Planning to look into it, just been delaying as I hope some RenoDX update or swapchain v2 changes fix it. It used to work, maybe I'll start by rolling back changes until I find which commit broke it.

[main wharf]

Yup' D3D11On12CreateDevice

That's not game specific, it's been reported in other games for a bit now.

[brave summit]

damn

[main wharf]

I think I got the glow effect working.

[south stream]

Certainly no expert, but looks good to me! I just ran the opening because I remembered some crazy corruption there with glow effect on. Don't see any now!

[main wharf]

Yea purple would turn yellow 😅
Noice thanks for confirming, gonna push change to snapshot and update wiki!

[south stream]

You're awesome Voosh!

[main wharf]

Eeeeh to be fair it's mostly @snow wyvern's solution (had an old addon for the game somewhere). All I did is ask Copilot to tell me what code from Ersh's addon was responsible and to help me update it to recent RenoDX code as it wouldn't compile...
I mostly have no clue what's going on, but as long as it works... 🤷

[opal garden]

Lots to look through here and a few files to pick from.... can someone let me know what the best addon for Yooka-Replaylee is please?

[main wharf]

Snapshot. From this post's very first message (oldest pin) or wiki is the same.

I mostly add shaders blindly after people send dumps, so I tend to share updated build here first and wait for confirmation things are working as intended before I update snapshot. This doesn't usually take long, in this case snapshot is now same as that latest build above (Pillars of Eternity 2 bloom fix).

All previous files are not relevant, except for the one in [this message](#1413695723404398674 message) called renodx-unityengine_TEST.addon64 which is a preview of a consequent update I've been working on.

Though it has only been tested in a few games so far, I'm still working on it. Up to you if you wanna give it a shot, but prefer snapshot if you just want something that works.

[opal garden]

Awesome. Thank you 🙏

[chilly pine]

I've come across another issue with demon tides

excuse the bad screenshots, this is just to show that its really dark

[main wharf]

Check the very last paragraph of pinned troubleshooting message. Gotta use devkit to dump shaders and send folder here

[violet ginkgo]

Hi, any good settings for Replaced?

[chilly pine]

do I have to be at the same area or can I just dump shaders now?

[main wharf]

Gotta trigger the issue again with devkit loaded so it can detect and dump corresponding shader.

[main wharf]

Uuuh, default should be close enough to SDR.
Increase Internal LUT scaling to get rid of the raised black level if that's something that bothers you.
Then Color Grading/Effects are really up to personal preference.

[violet ginkgo]

Thanks, internal lut scaling at 40 and contrast at 55 seems to be a great balance 👍

[bronze galleon]

Hi Voosh, here's a dump for the newest patch of the game suddenly missing shaders (dunno why they'd change them so late in the cycle but whatever)

[main wharf]

Dunno either. Just one shader it seems, no biggie. Here

[bronze galleon]

Thank you so much

It just works ™ 😉

[main wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-it-just-works-bethesda-this-all-just-works-gif-20598651

[bronze galleon]

Oh, this week's Epic free game Down in Bermuda also suffers from the no-UI bug with RenoDX (which only asks for swapchain proxy)

Damn, RTSS crashes it lol (either on toggling its overlay on with ReShade + RenoDX or if just not excluding the game from RTSS without RenoDX)

Oh boy, won't even boot with devkit

Correction, won't boot with devkit and reno, devkit alone is fine, I'll dump some just in case

Using -force-d3d11 makes it all work fine it seems 🙂

[main wharf]

This may be because your current devkit is too recent.

Actually that's my bad, link in pinned message is wrong, it should be from same repo as unity addon, gimme a sec.

[bronze galleon]

Ah, it is indeed

[main wharf]

https://notvoosh.github.io/renodx-unity/renodx-devkit.addon64

[bronze galleon]

Thanks, will keep it handy 🙂

[main wharf]

Updated pinned message.

[main wharf]

Perfect though, I can grab it and try to figure out what tf is going on 😭

[bronze galleon]

Addon needs unlocking gamma for this one I bet

Slider is grayed out currently and colors don't match sdr

d3d12 is fucked anyway

[main wharf]

Even preset off? Aye I might be able to figure that out from dump. Or even better if you got ReShade.log I can see what shaders are being replaced, one of them is triggering slider lock.

[bronze galleon]

Yep, even with off preset

[main wharf]

Yeaaaaaa I'll get to that, I keep forgetting about it 😅

[bronze galleon]

Moment, want it with or without SK the reshade.log ?

[main wharf]

Shouldn't matter

[main wharf]

Using Microsoft Detours hooking already? In RTSS settings

It usually helps with compatibility with other third party tools

[bronze galleon]

Yep but no luck here in d3d12

everything just works (besides gamma) in d3d11 tho 🙂

That's with SK

And a quick one without SK

[main wharf]

Uhm, likely renders in linear. I see no reason addon would set gamma there

[bronze galleon]

Ah, so it's just the upgrade changing the feel of some colors then ig

[main wharf]

Dunno might be something unusual game does. I'll check anyway, game's free sooooo 🤷

[bronze galleon]

Indeed 🙂

[main wharf]

500MB. Thanks again, I can keep that indefinitely on my drive until I figure out what's going on with d3d11on12

[bronze galleon]

hope this will be the key to unlock them all

And you're always welcome 🙂

[main wharf]

Yea I think Linear is fine. Haven't checked in-game yet tho, maybe something else is going on.
FYI changing API (dx11, dx12) can have undesirable effects if not planned by devs. I've seen some games skip grading or even whole post-processing when forcing different API.

[bronze galleon]

Ah good to know 🙂 Saw the minimum specs were whatever gear and d3d11 whilst recommended were whatever and d3d12 so gave it a shot 🙂

oh that's the free epic game nice lol

[bronze galleon]

Oh and Monument Valley 3 the free mobile game, awesome !

[chilly pine]

i've finished 70% of the game and this was the only issue affecting gameplay

[regal moth]

It's also finally 60 fps on android. It was locked to battery saver and wouldn't go higher than 30 fps for months. Thankfully they seem to have finally updated it to be inline with the iphone version.

[unborn tide]

I get a missing output shader warning with Viewfinder (Steam version) with the Unity addon when using the PQ LUT shaper. It says to do a devkit dump. Is there a way to fix this as a "user"?

[main wharf]

Last paragraph in pinned troubleshooting message.
TLDR Use devkit to dump shaders when issue occurs

[main wharf]

Here. Snapshot is building, should be up in a bit.

[unborn tide]

Thanks. The game only starts when the Unity addon is disabled and devkit is enabled, but that shouldn't be a problem, if I understand the instructions correctly?

[main wharf]

Yea no issue.

Just make sure to rerun into the situation with missing shader with devkit loaded.

[unborn tide]

Ok, I did, it happens right at the start of the game.

[main wharf]

This should work

[unborn tide]

The warning is still there, but at least the beginning of the game isn't deepfried anymore.

[main wharf]

Aw yea forgot something 🤦

[unborn tide]

Can you ELI5 what's the issue? 🙂 There's missing metadata, even though it's a generic addon?

[unborn tide]

Warning is gone, looks great now, thank you 🙂

[chilly pine]

thank you so much, just 100%ed demon tides with this mod and will do the same for bubsy 4d rn

[crimson spear]

Hey @main wharf Can you push your code?

Getting visual errors in ZERO PARADES

[main wharf]

Should be up to date already

[crimson spear]

Oh mb I checked wrong repo

[somber gazelle]

what a nightmare name to search for, anyone know if "PEAK" climbing game works with this?

[ebon stream]

think it should, just try it out

[surreal haven]

i think i remember peak working when i tried it

[somber gazelle]

"Peak" seems to be capped to 82 nits without swapchain proxy, and is capped to 209 nits with swapchain proxy.

Switched to DX11 and now it appears to work 👍

[true carbon]

Looooool

That truly is a nightmare name.

[main wharf]

Oh, does that mean game doesn't crash anymore with Reno if dx12?

[somber gazelle]

Didn't crash except when i tried to change some of the advanced settings to see if i could get it uncapped, but I have no idea what I'm doing so.

[glacial scaffold]

is the tone mapper broken in ZERO PARADES? anything but vanilla gives visual bugs for me

[main wharf]

Just pushed fix @crimson spear found, here should be fine.

Is there Vulkan support for this?

I haven't really looked into RenoVK that much

[main wharf]

I don't think so nah.

[frigid dirge]

Anyone figured out how to get Rogue Trader to work with this? Sliders seem to work but game max nits seemed to be capped at 203, tried swapchain proxy on

[last scarab]

anyone tried paralives with this yet?

[main wharf]

I'm not sure, maybe some third-party app/overlay is interfering with RenoDX? Commonly RTSS or Nvidia App.
If issue persists please send ReShade.log

[frigid dirge]

Thanks I'll try again later. It seems like Game Brightness (default 203 nits) becomes the max that ever gets output, peak brightness doesn't change anything until it goes below that 203 and starts to go darker below

[main wharf]

Sounds like missing resource upgrade maybe. Though iirc default one should be enough.

[frigid dirge]

With default R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS the output just looks like this, I tried every other resource upgrade option one at a time and with those, the peak output never goes above 203 even when I move the Game Brightness slider

[main wharf]

Mmh yea this looks broken. Is Scaling Offset in Compatibility section set to 2 ? Should've been set automatically.

[frigid dirge]

yep it's 2 by default

[torn rose]

pretty sure there was a hint on wiki page for rogue trader

at least at some point

i set it like there and game worked

[sonic prawn]

shaders for blue archive

[main wharf]

I'm not sure. Maybe try Output Ratio or Any Size instead of Output Size.

Did you check for background apps/overlays?
It's weird no resource upgrade occurs in the log you sent.
Maybe something is interfering.

[frigid dirge]

hi, i actually uninstalled and re-installed with the Lex Imperialis DLC and now everything works just fine, no idea why 😅

[kindred nacelle]

Cheap Car Repair is a new game, and it crashes in startup with reno. What can I do to fix?

[verbal lotus]

drop your reshade log, might be able to see what's happening

[fiery vapor]

for some reason I can't use the devkit with renodx unity

[main wharf]

Both built with same RenoDX code? If not it can lead to compatibility issue.

[fiery vapor]

ah

[fading cradle]

I just downloaded the demo of the Silver Pines metroidvania, and I immediately noticed the Banding .... I'm playing on an Sdr TV. Can I ask you to fix this issue?

[main wharf]

You can try the addon and resources upgrades.
Set peak/game/ui brightness to 80 and disable SDR EOTF Emulation.

[twin stump]

if nothing else works, try the Debanding shader from Reshade, it blurs a little, but it can be non-noticable depending on the strength/game

[woven crag]

this game used to work perfectly but latest dlc update somehow clamped it completely, even the peak brightness slider and tonemapper both completely dissapeared, i've never seen this before?? 😭

wait a second

why is my reshade looking into completely different location for addons..???

ok nvm false alarm lmao

for some reason reshade.ini got messed up and decided to look into a completly wrong folder for the addon, and it loaded unrealengine addon (that's why i didn't see tonemapper slider)

how could that have happened i haven no idea but it keeps doing that sometimes and it's pointing to some random game (always the same) as my add-on search path

so happy to have proper hdr back again 😅

[fossil ether]

with default settings i don't have this banding but i do see clamped highlights in th esky and the lights with which upgrading a few things suggested in the pinned post helped

one thing that bugged out is the photos taken with the camera. and save screen frames as well all look pink like this

[fossil ether]

there's also weird looking black clamps like these in ocuple occasions

[fossil ether]

other than that - a very solid demo! can't wait for the full game in the fall!

[high herald]

Using this mod for the precinct. Are stock settings fine or do I need to tweak the sliders at all ?

[main wharf]

Default settings should match SDR, with unclamped highlights.
Tweak Peak, Game and UI brightness. Rest is personal preference.

[high herald]

Ok thanks bud

[fading cradle]

Do you have an SDR TV or an OLED? I only have the SDR . 2080ti and 576.88 driver

No way to dump luts in the unity reno? Can't find the button

[uneven sluice]

follow pins to dump shaders

[kindred nacelle]

It's in the ''to do'' list then

[main wharf]

Yea. You can use renodx-devkit to dump shaders for now

Download devkit (64 - 32 bits) in game folder (can be loaded along addon), turn on Auto-Dump, 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.

this silly game (Clone Drone in the Danger Zone) looks washed, doesn't complain about missing shaders, but I couln'd find any settings to make it work. any ideas for settings I could try?

[wanton ferry]

anyone know why WitchSpring R is marked as 🚧 on the compatibility list? can't seem to find any info on it on the server or the repo

Seems to have native HDR ? Might have to be disabled first.

Last I checked the add-on works fine, I can look into it again if you want

btw, No Rest For The Wicked has been mentioned here a couple of times it might need a lot of work/custom add-on, but for those that played it, what is actually "wrong" with the native HDR? Is it ok at least? If it's not too bad and no addon is planned for it I will just get this game on ps5.

1.0 was just announced coming out in October and they'll be running the last EA bonuses and discount before price goes up

Last time I checked dump it didn't look like custom nor a lot of work. Lutbuilder is already in this addon, has warning for missing output shader.
Only reason I haven't added them yet is that I don't know which ones are used and dump has way too many permutations.

Though I might pick the game now that there's a release date 🤷

[woven crag]

Hmm yeah if ever I would get it now it's the best time, but what is actually wrong with the native HDR?

[main wharf]

No idea

Heavily clipped highlights do we have any HDR analysis on it?

Didn't gamingtech make a video on it?

"superb" HDR

It's got paper white, max nits, UI brightness... I can't see where the issues could be. When they said clipped highlights, does this mean like is the games HDR ITMed or something?

[dusky vault]

Looked good when I played a few months ago

[woven crag]

This sounds good enough to me to probably pick it up on ps5

[main wharf]

It is ITM 🤔

On the bright side addon seems to work so there's that.

Tonemapper goes slightly above 1. It is clipped then inverse tonemapped.
