Silent Hill F

[meager drum]

I can throw my ditherer into a reshade fx if you want to try, but 3d games shouldn't have banding if they use 16bit pipeline. (Also a fx for my grain already exists)

https://github.com/clshortfuse/reshade-shaders/tree/main

[coarse gate]

added custom film grain

adding 16 bit slider then uploading to nexus

the intermediate 11 bit linear is the issue here, as the final 10 bit output is encoded in pq so it uses bits efficiently

[lyric silo]

When would it make sense to upgrade/why isn’t it a default but a toggle?

[coarse gate]

just in case it breaks something. 16 bit float allows for negative numbers while 11 bit does not, if they do some bad math that produces negative numbers then those won't be clipped to 0 in 16 bit like they would for 11. I think it probably won't cause any issues but just to be safe

also I think AMD might have issues with 16 bit

[lyric silo]

Gotcha, will upgrade when you release then and hope for the best xD

Thanks for the explanation and the awesome work!

[harsh wharf]

Thank you guys for all you do

[olive fox]

does reno fix the wrong tonemap of vanilla hdr?

[meager drum]

you can still find cases of using a low resolution texture over a large span, but 3d lighting composited on 16bit shouldn't have noticeable banding. when you go to 10bit, it's not 10bit linear, it's 10bit PQ, which is usually enough for most scenes and a bit of dithering will get you to the human inperceptible threshold of 12bit. but that banding is from 10bit PQ, not from the 16bit linear. also, all the actual float math is done in 32bit, just when it has to go from one pass to the next, the texture is the transfer medium and that texture should be 16bit. 11/11/10 as a transfer medium doesn't sound like a lot different than 16, but that difference does creep up as you keep layering.

11/11/10 exists because it's 32 total bits of pure color, where as rgba16 is 48bits with an extra 16bits for alpha.

PQ 10bit is "just as good" as 8bit bt1886 upto 200 nits, then it switches to log2

PQ 12bit is just as good as 10bit bt1886 upto 200 nits

here's a good page (with visuals!) about why r11g11b10f linear can be bad: https://bartwronski.com/2017/04/02/small-float-formats-r11g11b10f-precision/

no bueno

[leaden umbra]

weird since silent hill 2 had FG native

different studio though

[fleet goblet]

they patched it in for SH2R

[toxic orbit]

not on release, added in an update

[leaden umbra]

Yea, you're right. I forgot.

I'll likely play this game after I finish Cronos

[sharp marten]

is this mod out ?

[bright coyote]

check pinned comment

[lyric silo]

It´s in beta but functional, full release should come today in Nexus I think

[bright coyote]

https://www.nexusmods.com/silenthillf/mods/64 wow @coarse gate

[sharp marten]

Press Home to open the ReShade window and select the RenoDX tab to see the sliders and make adjustments i dont have home key what to do

[bright coyote]

it's the same version that's here?

[lyric silo]

Why tf is Vsync disabled in borderless?

[coarse gate]

just added film grain slider

[ember pond]

https://www.nexusmods.com/silenthillf/mods/32

seem perfect with Renodx, but it eat 30fps

[bright coyote]

I'm making let's play with Reno DX on yt. first 2 vids already converted to HDR

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ8B97KRkPoDAlSRLFPJjDSUpf4YgxUT5

man this looks much better than on my monitor which isn't as bright as my phone

my phone is around 1400 nits although they say it's 4k.where monitor is only 700 nits

damn when I saw sky I had to close the eyes

[sharp marten]

can someone help me with this how do i open resahde ingame as i dont have home button on my keyboard

[bright coyote]

rebind it in reshade
ini

[coarse gate]

Not at my computer at the moment but the reshade.ini file has somewhere you can rebind it

[sharp marten]

[INPUT]
GamepadNavigation=0
KeyOverlay=36,0,0,0

[bright coyote]

@coarse gate u did great job, appreciate it. thanks

[sharp marten]

this what i see

[bright coyote]

what key u want?

[sharp marten]

page up

[bright coyote]

so I'll change mine reshade to it and then tell u nimbers

[sharp marten]

so kind of u sir

[bright coyote]

how can u have page up and dont have home key?

[sharp marten]

75% key layout

[coarse gate]

Gpt to the rescue

[sharp marten]

thnx u verymuch

[bright coyote]

KeyOverlay=33,0,0,0

[sharp marten]

thnx man

[fleet goblet]

one of your keys is bound to be a Home key via Fn if you're on a 60% or whatever, for me it's Fn + Alt Gr for Home

I'm a motion blur enjoyer, but the default blur in SHf is hideous

stationary vs. in-motion tweaked settings vs. in-motion default

[coarse gate]

How did you tweak it

[sharp marten]

hwo to use this mod is it auto apply

is there any vedio showing how to setup the mod

[crimson sequoia]

Did they pull a Wuchang here too, where it was set to intensity x3 or something?

[fleet goblet]

not sure what they're using by default if not the UE defaults, but it's horrible and there's only a on/off toggle in-game and no quality or strength options

[frosty burrow]

No need to mess with the r.MotionBlur.Amount, by default it's set to ~ 0.25, which is equivalent to 180-degree shutter speed at 30 fps (it used to be 0.5 in UE4, dunno why they changed that)

[noble matrix]

This is the latest or same one as pinned here?

[frosty burrow]

I'm pretty sure they just don't scale with the frame rate

[bright coyote]

Musa has said that he only added film grain to it

[fleet goblet]

this is when just doing TargetFPS=0, which seems better than the default, but still a tiny bit heavy for me

[dawn mauve]

hello guys i've downloaded reshade and the HDR file but i dont know the next step is it just copy and paste it in silent hill f folder?

[primal edge]

the film grain is a game changer. y'all are great! a lot less banding. I'm one of the few that loves chromatic aberration, motion blur and film grain and other post processing.

[tepid reef]

Yes just drag and drop it into that folder

[bright coyote]

everything is written in pinned comment, read it

[noble matrix]

Did he add the match SDR button?

[bright coyote]

ask him

i havent tested it yet

[dawn mauve]

ive done what the instructions says but idk if i did it

[bright coyote]

its enabled

turn hdr in game if u havent and its done

[dawn mauve]

ok and i did a little bit change i turned the peak brightness to 1000

i hope i didnt missed things up

[bright coyote]

i usually dont touch sliders, but some ppl like to mess with them

[bright coyote]

your answer

is mach sdr better?

in terms of colors

or what

[noble matrix]

Nah. I rarely do so as well and mostly when they're real time. Now I'm just capping peak and that's it.

[noble matrix]

iirc what Musa said it'd be using just per-channel settings and not override black clip. It'd affect some colours slightly I guess.

[leaden umbra]

Do you set the in game hdr to unreal defaults? Does the game even have sliders? I don't have it

[weary dew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI12tAyBbEs

speaking off ^^

[worldly willow]

atleast bro is right this time

xd

[noble matrix]

Brightness and contrast.

[lyric silo]

Not anymore! (Thanks to 🐐 Musa)

[noble matrix]

By the way @wise rover. Did your game went back to crashing again? I've found an improved way of exorcising it.

[lyric silo]

I left it at default and activated “Match SDR” preset in Reno. Looks perfect

Also 0 perf issues or crashing aside from 1 big shader comp stutter and very minor traversal ones

[noble matrix]

Yeah. Gotta appreciate his passion and being on the lookout for improving.

[lyric silo]

Tbh DF made a big deal as if the game was broken with stutters and its most definetly not. Not perfect, but not even close to bad

[worldly willow]

tru

[clever sonnet]

Looks great, huge improvement. Although getting some flickering in the fog i didn't notice before.

[leaden umbra]

Left in game at default?

[crimson sequoia]

Not even, given that on his thumbnail, he's using the SDR image in place of the HDR one, and vice versa

Same with his previous video on it

😅

[worldly willow]

ah that i dont even care about

[lyric silo]

Yup

[leaden umbra]

Given what we know now, if i were to go back and play silent hill 2 remake, would i just set in game hdr to unreal defaults, like we did for cronos? Then just use ersh's black floor fix @coarse gate

[gritty frigate]

I wanted to say thx 🙂 last one is very good and much easier to test

[olive fox]

is he usually wrong? I enjoy his videos

[worldly willow]

Well eh

[mild hawk]

How did you guys get RenoDX to run with PureDark? I keep getting crashes during the red loading bar.

[worldly willow]

Whenever he says it’s great i would argue he’s not that accurate

[olive fox]

tbh I think he mainly cares about black level floor i instead of actual color accuracy

[worldly willow]

PoE2 for example he said is good

[olive fox]

I dont mind tho

[worldly willow]

Shits atrocious gamma raise

Just because the reading on min nits says 0 doesn’t mean black floor/gamma is good

POE2 does that

Gamma is super raised but somehow some pixels are reading 0

[olive fox]

Do you have to be a current sub to use puredark mods

[worldly willow]

Yes

[olive fox]

rip

[worldly willow]

The sub you had is only valid for all mods release by the time you stopped subbing

Updates you get indefinitely

But if a new game comes you’ll have to renew the sub sadly

Bro makes crazy money I’m not sure why he needs to still do it like that tbh

[olive fox]

Agreed

but oh well its 5 bucks

[worldly willow]

Like bruh

[woven musk]

huutaiii also has a mod

[olive fox]

doesnt hurt too much

[woven musk]

for FG

[worldly willow]

5200 payed members

[olive fox]

jesus christ

[worldly willow]

That’s over 20k a month

[olive fox]

bro is actually rich

wtf

[worldly willow]

And I’m pretty sure

He made 50k a month at one point

[woven musk]

he was making 6 figures a month during his peak

[worldly willow]

Oh even that much

Highest I’ve seen was 50 or 60k

Shits crazy

[woven musk]

now he mods VRslop

[olive fox]

yeah mods really shouldnt be sub based or have drm

but theres no free alternative so

[worldly willow]

I’ve only been subbed once for like Skyrim FG

And that shit runs ass

Framepacing Giga fucked due to dx11 to 12 interop

[olive fox]

I was subbed multiple times

last for clair obscur

I didnt see if someone responded last time but does the reno fix the wrong color grading from the vanilla hdr?

[peak pond]

yeah it uses the sdr luts

see the pinned message for all the fixes

[worldly willow]

If a FG mod exist from Huutaaii I’ll prefer that instead

Pure dark makes enough money

[crimson sequoia]

Most of the time

[olive fox]

Thanks for the answers

[crimson sequoia]

Just like Plasma, he's been pointed multiple times to the right resources to learn how to deal with HDR properly... but he does not want to follow

[olive fox]

I wonder if theres a tangible difference between fsr framegen and dlss framegen

or if I should just use the fsr framegen the game allows

[crimson sequoia]

DLSS FG is usually less prone to artifacts in my experience, especially since DLSS 4

[olive fox]

im playing with smooth motion atm and I think even that looks fine

granted its getting a high input fps but yeah

[crimson sequoia]

A real framegen is more than likely better than Smooth Motion though

If you can use FSR3 FG, do so in place of this

[olive fox]

wish there was a way of capping pre framegen fps without special K

[woven musk]

there is

DLSSfix

has pace native frames feature just like SK

you need it anyways to avoid transformer FG flickering if a game has it

[olive fox]

oh shit nice

[olive fox]

only if I use renodx or in general

[woven musk]

Reno

if reno is doing SDR path to HDR resource upgrade

you will have flicker with transformer FG

so most UEsloppery is affected

a few other games also have flickering

DLSSfix solves the problem but it is still in beta

doesnt work with ray reconstruction for instance

you can also use DLSSfix as a standalone reshade addon to get pace native frames in any title with FG

[olive fox]

thats cool

[floral schooner]

does anyone experience crashing when opening journal?

[wise rover]

I'd have to play the game to figure that out.

[olive fox]

you can tell the game to cap your real frames to a certain value so framegen is much smoother

60 > 120

is smoother than varying fps

[livid sundial]

Is the build on the pin (and nexus) the same as the one from a couple of days back? Beta 5?

[floral schooner]

the fix causes the game to crash on launch for me, does it only work for amd cards? ive got nvidia

[olive fox]

its called dlssfix

not fsrfix

[floral schooner]

ok, you didn't answer the question

[woven musk]

are you forcing NVapp or inspector or some similar tool to update DLSS files?

are you using RR?

[olive fox]

you asked if it only works on amd cards which I responded to

[woven musk]

did you make sure to set the dlss_fix settings in the reshade.ini?

[floral schooner]

No and I didn't even know SH f has RR xd

[woven musk]

By default no

But U+ might be adding it, if you're using it

[floral schooner]

If you mean the path, I've set DLLS one, however there's no streamline file in the game folder

I mean sl.interposer.dll

Or I cant find it

[woven musk]

Right because the game doesn't ship with DLSS_G

So you're using a mod for NV FG?

[floral schooner]

With it or without it, the game still crashes

but yes, id like to use it

[grand burrow]

what the heck is this DLSSfix y'all are talking about and how do I go about getting it?

[olive fox]

https://discord.com/channels/1408098019194310818/1410855640112566375/threads/1413548071987576862/1413548071987576862

[grand burrow]

Mucho danke

Whats the line that I need to add in the reshade.ini?

[shrewd swan]

guys it will be my first time downloading and using this kind of hdr, can someone guide me pls?

[floral schooner]

Check the pin in the fix’s channel

[left comet]

This game looks so good with no fog lol

[wise rover]

Looks like mobile slop.

[left comet]

haha its nice, it just looks unatmospheric without the fog

[lyric silo]

why the fuck is saturation over 1000 lol

[left comet]

lol not sure, but thats just base reshade with the change ontop, so no idea

[lyric silo]

"the change" meaning removing fog?

[left comet]

Yessir

[lyric silo]

Weird

It does look like mobile slop lol

[left comet]

same place but with fog

[lyric silo]

The fog is so impressive btw, looks awesome (minus banding)

[lyric silo]

That´s still way more saturated than default I think

Could just be the LUT of that area tho, dunno

[left comet]

Weird haha

[lyric silo]

You do have saturation at 54

[left comet]

Base is 50 though, thats barely anything

[lyric silo]

Im using the match sdr preset

Oh you don´t have it. Its on the latest version (on Nexus)

[left comet]

Thanks!

[obtuse marten]

Your pic is fine but when you are in more open areas like the fields east of town the no fog shows alot of the area is unloaded right behind the fog layer. It sucks cause it is intersting to see it without the fog as it really changes how the world feels.

[prime helm]

The mod posted on Nexus is the same as the last Beta build?

[coarse gate]

Idk unreal defaults are probably too bright for me

[leaden umbra]

Looks pretty decent in Cronos I think

[stuck plume]

what paper white are unreal defaults?

[coarse gate]

There is no paper white really

[stuck plume]

tbh, I find the unreal defaults a little too bright in Cronos too

[leaden umbra]

Seems fine to me idk.

I didn't even attempt to tweak it though

It's likely not perfectly ideal

Also doesn't overall contrast change when you change peak? So defaults will look different for everyone

[stuck plume]

It's fine - just feels a bit brighter than how I usually play games

[leaden umbra]

SH2 had the same issue

[coarse gate]

Idk if they fixed that or not

[leaden umbra]

Peak changed overall contrast

[leaden umbra]

Doubt it

But if they didn't then it's a moot point anyway since everyone will have a different look depending on peak

[leaden umbra]

Oh did you mean fix in SH2 or cronos? I don't recall ever seeing they fixed it, but if they did then awesome

[shrewd swan]

Guys when I open home how do I apply the sliders? I’m new sorry

[coarse gate]

Cronos cause it’s newer UE. I doubt bloober even wrote any code for HDR, just enabled it in the engine

[coarse gate]

The tooltip right above the sliders tells you

Just open the journal and close it

[leaden umbra]

I never tested if cronos had that contrast issue. I thought you had told me it did lol

[shrewd swan]

No I mean

[leaden umbra]

Maybe it doesn't

[shrewd swan]

How do I enable them

Like what do I press to put them

[coarse gate]

There’s nothing to press. You just move them and they apply once you open journal

[coarse gate]

Oh

That’s the shader list

It’s not under there

[shrewd swan]

Where do I go

[leaden umbra]

Did anyone actually confirm that Cronos has that issue or did we just assume

[coarse gate]

Under addons tab at the top do you have RenoDX listed there

[shrewd swan]

No

[coarse gate]

Means it isn’t installed

[coarse gate]

Is the addon in that directory

Win64

[shrewd swan]

I think no

[coarse gate]

Nah I don’t have the game so idk

[leaden umbra]

Oh

I don't even care enough to test it lol

I have ptsd from trying to tune SH2 hdr

[shrewd swan]

What I did was download renodx 6.51 with add on and from there I opened it and pressed the game and that’s it

[coarse gate]

You gotta move the silent hill addon64 file into the win64 directory

[shrewd swan]

Where do I find the add on

[coarse gate]

On the nexus page under files

[shrewd swan]

Is it the top right

I found it

[coarse gate]

Files tab

[shrewd swan]

Yes thanks I am downloading now

[placid grail]

Are there any recommended peak brightness and game brightness settings for HDR true black 400?

[delicate hearth]

Peak is based off your monitor pretty sure

[coarse gate]

Peak brightness 400. I like game brightness 100 cause I play at night but most people think it’s too dim

The default game brightness 203 is what is recommended for most people

[placid grail]

Gotcha

Does OLED have any bearings on what brightness settings would be good?

[shrewd swan]

I opened game and it shows this, is it good now do I need to do anything else?

[coarse gate]

Set peak brightness to whatever your display can do

Other adjustments are preference

[fleet goblet]

need one of those bots that info dumps basic info like when people ask about the Nier stuff in SK server

[shrewd swan]

Uhm my display has peak brightness: off, low and high

[coarse gate]

Samsung QD-OLED?

[harsh wharf]

Do windows 11 hdr calibration turn any auto stuff off

[shrewd swan]

Yes g6

[coarse gate]

On my g8 it’s:
off - 400
Medium - 500
High - 1000

High and medium are fake though cause they cause the entire screen to dim so I see it to off and do 400

[shrewd swan]

So I should set it off and 400 on hdr calibration?

[coarse gate]

If you can tolerate the dimming it’s up to you but I hate it

So off for me

[worldly willow]

real

[shrewd swan]

I’ll trust you

Thanks a lot

[fleet goblet]

probably worth saying to drop the game brightness a bit if you're doing 400, 203/400 isn't much of a range

[shrewd swan]

How much should I put

I set the peak brightness on game 400 right

Cuz it’s 400 on my monitor too

And game?

How much it’s on 203 by default

[fleet goblet]

game brightness is entirely preference and peak brightness is based on your display, so 400 if you're using that mode

but I'd lower game brightness to 100 - 140 if I were using 400 peak

[coarse gate]

I like game brightness 100 but other people say it’s too dim

Looks good to me in a dark room

[shrewd swan]

I’ll try 140 then

Okay so what’s the journal

[coarse gate]

It will show in the starting area. Idk the keyboard shortcut but on controller it’s up on the dpad

[shrewd swan]

So I need to opening and closing that for the effects to stay

[coarse gate]

Ya when you change the sliders they don’t apply immediately. You just gotta open and close journal and they apply

[shrewd swan]

Oh got it

[leaden umbra]

Did you prefer 100 pw even when you had the brighter LED HDR TV?

[coarse gate]

I was raising it all the way to 203, I think mostly cause shadow detail was a gray mess and I must have felt like I needed to raise brightness to see anything at all

The second I got my OLED I went to 100 paper white and it just felt right

[leaden umbra]

The reason I ask is because with a monitor that has 400 peak, 100 makes sense

So i was wondering if it would look too contrasty to you with like a 800 nit oled tv

[coarse gate]

Distance to display might be a factor in how brightness is perceived idk

I doubt I’d raise it above like 140 if I got an OLED tv

[leaden umbra]

I have to re-evaluate that. I installed bias lighting so I'm curious if that changes my preferences

[frozen osprey]

why you dont wanna try service mod?

[leaden umbra]

Isn't that just with the TVs?

[coarse gate]

I thought you mentioned it messed with accuracy

[frozen osprey]

g80sd has service mod hack that makes active tonamaping work like eotf boost on msi but better

[leaden umbra]

I didn't know the monitors could do it

[coarse gate]

I’d rather it be 100% accurate for modding purposes

I usually don’t actually play games just mod them

Though silent hill will be an exception

[leaden umbra]

Lol

Did you play SH2

[frozen osprey]

ah, thats fine 😄

[coarse gate]

I got to the area where you open the door to enter the fucked up version of the hotel

[leaden umbra]

I liked that game a lot

[coarse gate]

Actually I think I got to the first pyramid head encounter

[leaden umbra]

Cronos isn't as good but it's still very good. It's different

[frozen osprey]

cronos was very good HDR experience btw

with reno ofc

[leaden umbra]

I think it looks pretty good. I'm also using reno. I took ersh's advice and used unreal default values. I just need to finish the game and not try to care about the hdr lol

Well by reno i mean the black floor fix

[frozen osprey]

yep me same, from start to end, reno fix + unreal defaults settings

[leaden umbra]

I keep seeing reports of crashes using the reno mod when you leave the hospital. So idk what's going on there. I'm not yet at that part.

So I can't confirm

[fleet goblet]

digging the game so far and it's looking great with Reno, of course

[shrewd swan]

is there a way to know that the changes have taken effect?

this is my game

[coarse gate]

you can test by setting the sliders to ridiculous values like 100 saturation

should then be pretty obvious

[shrewd swan]

bet

[shrewd swan]

nothing is changing what am i doing wrong ?

[coarse gate]

you have hdr enabled in game?

and you're opening and closing the journal?

just to be sure can you set the blowout slider to 100 and then close and restart the game

it should appear black and white

[shrewd swan]

i did it thanks

its like this now

which is better this or the previous ?

[sullen mulch]

@coarse gate did you end up switching to piecewise reinhard for this?

[coarse gate]

I can try it later

[sullen mulch]

the goal of that is to have less blowout right?

[coarse gate]

Just be computationally cheaper

Don’t think blowout should appear much different

[sullen mulch]

ah gotcha

[rough forum]

What sliders are you guys running

[fleet goblet]

default

[coarse gate]

100 game / ui brightness (i play in a dark room), perceptual film grain at 50 strength

[rough forum]

I turned in game to 140 and film grain perceptual at 33

50 was a bit too noticeable

[coarse gate]

lmao I didn't see this

[dim furnace]

don't know if this has been mentioned or not but perceptual film grain seems to break ini FSR-FG

[coarse gate]

I think I know why

I can move its location but it may look worse, probably better to just tell people not to use it with fsr fg and instead tell them to use a reshade shader

[dim furnace]

yeah, makes sense, no reason to make it worse for the average user just for an edge case

[coarse gate]

its the same grain in shortfuse's reshade shader so it shouldnt really matter

[untold verge]

Started the game with it and have played 6 hours with it now, thanks a bunch! Looked pretty "correct" to me with the defaults, really appreciate having a set and forget experience

[harsh wharf]

anyone running this under linux and getting only having the hud show, actual gameplay is a black screen

[boreal cliff]

BTW unrelated to RenoDX itself but the game for me would crash on startup when reshade's dll had the default name (dxgi.dll). I renamed it to d3d12.dll and it seems to be working fine.

[harsh wharf]

this is what im getting on fedora:

huh, it happens even when all reshade addons are disabled

[coarse gate]

hmm

I remember some people were having issues with doom eternal which is a vulkan game

which were fixed by removing all reshade shaders

so just delete the reshade-shaders folder maybe?

[harsh wharf]

there already isn't one

let me try reinstalling reshade

yeah no dice

[stuck plume]

Yeah, I can confirm. When you leave the hospital there's a scene where you see a person far away and when a cutscene starts the game crashes. I checked online and people say it's caused by the black floor fix. I stopped playing at that point because I don't want to deactivate the mod and play the game until the next save pont without it and experience that ugly raised black levels again..

I'll return to that game when I find more motivation

[leaden umbra]

Is Ersh aware?

Or Pumbo

[stuck plume]

Idk, didn't want to tag them, and there's no dedicated thread for this game/mod on den. But there are comments on nexus so maybe ersh saw them

[woven sky]

it works fine for me under arch and sway

[leaden umbra]

I had pinged him on it a few days ago but never got a response. I'll ask him again later.

[woven sky]

though im using proton wayland over gamescope

idk what you're doing

[leaden umbra]

Is there a trigger to know when that cutscene is coming up? So I can save and remove the mod temporarily?

[stuck plume]

You leave the hospital, walk a little bit, and then that scene starts. Before leaving, there's a boss fight and a long unskippable cutscene afterward. When it crashes you have to watch that cutscene again. Probably the best way is to remove the mod after you beat that boss fight

Or maybe actually before it because I don't think there is a save point accessible

[mild hawk]

Can someone tell me if Ultra+ makes a difference? I'm debating if I want to use it or would I be fine with just RenoDX haha

[harsh wharf]

if you mean just using wine wayland then I wanna use a controller and valve needs to get on that

[woven sky]

my dualsense works just fine without steam input but yeah thats understandable

[harsh wharf]

hmnnn

what gpu? amd or nvidia

I decided to get an nvidia card too see if the pain under linux was true or not

[woven sky]

you can also force SDL for controller input with ge proton

which was added as an alternative for steam input

[harsh wharf]

90% of the time its fine, 10% of the time its fucking stupid

[woven sky]

sdl will automatically be used when wine-wayland is used (this is because steam input does not work yet on wine-wayland)

[woven sky]

amd

[harsh wharf]

hmnmnnn

i might fuck around with wine wayland

[harsh wharf]

i wish i stuck with AMD, I miss mesa

[woven sky]

this is enough with ge proton (i'm skeptical if you even need the DXVK variable, but it's what the protondb report has so) PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1

if controller still doesn't work, you can try directly setting PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 as well

[leaden umbra]

Okay good to know thx

[waxen trout]

DXVK_HDR is set by PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

The HDR WSI one, unless you're on KDE, you need to install it.

[waxen trout]

It's better to use the PROTON variable to switch HDR on than just the DXVK one

Since it does a few more things

So I'd just swap those

[hardy ermine]

this game still just randomly crashes on the 5090

no matter which driver I try and no matter how often I clean up shaders

[noble matrix]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2947440/discussions/0/604168007382661797/

This is the only thing that has been working for me reliably.

[hardy ermine]

doesn't work for me unfortunately

game will still just randomly crash at any given time

completely random

[coarse gate]

Do you have hdr analysis installed

That was causing crashing for me

Some reshade shaders are broken with it

[hardy ermine]

I mean it's inactive but yea I have the shaders installed

does it matter if I don't actually use them?

[coarse gate]

Idk but the second I deleted it everything worked fine with 0 crashes since

[hardy ermine]

that's interesting

might just remove all shaders then

why not

[coarse gate]

I think someone mentioned it might have something to do with shaders with text rendering or a ui atlas or something

I have sdr trc fix installed and that isn’t causing issues

[olive fox]

Totally didnt play for 4 hours before realizing HDR was turned off ingame so all that reno tweaking did absolutely nothing

[hardy ermine]

ahh rip

I felt that

[olive fox]

I was like "wow they really fixed the tonemapping"

[granite halo]

ya its a known issue afaik

nvidia driver strikes again

[spiral badger]

Damn, game takes a significant nose dive later, I'm assuming I'm near the end as well

[fleet goblet]

I've seen comments that it takes a turn for the worse "after the school"

[spiral badger]

Yeah lol

[fleet goblet]

just reached scarecrow field and I've been enjoying it so far, so that's a shame if so

[spiral badger]

Yeah I was really digging the atmosphere/pacing up to the school, but after ||they have too much forced combat encounters||

[stuck plume]

Ohh that sucks

I just finished school and have a dream sequence next

[quaint mason]

W8 where is this?

I've been playing it for weeks didn't know it had a mod 😭

[worldly willow]

Tha HDR seggs dungeon

Nah just hdr den

Renodx dev channel

In a thread

You’ll find it

[noble matrix]

Known by who? Definitely not NVIDIA or Konami haha.

[quaint mason]

Found it, ty bro 🙏

I'll try it in a moment, there seems to be only one version at the top of the thread

[worldly willow]

[grand lagoon]

I’m about to enter the school are you guys telling me this is the last good moment of the game ?

that is actually crazy it’s not even 5 hours in

[olive fox]

stop listening to others and just play the game

pointless to preemptively ruin your enjoyment of something cause people dont like it

[leaden umbra]

https://www.nexusmods.com/silenthillf/mods/49 - are you guys using this mod? Or a similar one? i remember we needed it for SH2

[leaden umbra]

Yea. Tons of people didn't like the SH2 remake for various reasons. I personally thought it was absolutely fantastic.

Same with Cronos. People either love or hate it

[olive fox]

Cronos was really good for 90% of it

and yes use shffix game is borderline unenjoyable without it

[grand lagoon]

I was just asking btw no need to act like I’ll stop playing the game just because of what some people are saying here

[leaden umbra]

Is there a good hero light removal mod

i'm not seeing one from a quick nexus search

but didn't look super hard

SH2 had a few good choices for that

[olive fox]

ik just trying to help you have a good time with the game

[grand lagoon]

[worldly willow]

Real

[fleet goblet]

doesn't need it, it's nowhere near as egregious as it was in SH2R and the game is barely ever that dark anyway

[olive fox]

Has anyone gotten dlss fix to work for this game btw?

mine just insta crashes with it

[worldly willow]

It’s still very much beta afaik

[spiral badger]

Nah, it's not like it becomes complete trash or anything, just personally didn't enjoy the direction of the game afterwards

[hardy ermine]

U+ has an Option

I use it

you can also just lower it instead of completely turning it off which is cool

[civic portal]

Hey dude i'm quite lost with U+ what i nedd to do ? when i initialize the game vai the U+ launcher it said that in need to install U+ but how do i do this ?

[hardy ermine]

so first download the U+ mod from their discord channel

[hardy ermine]

then from there in the game menu go to "mods" and in actions choose install

point to where you downloaded the mod .zip file

[granite halo]

by the public

🤷‍♂️

[civic portal]

i got this and when i press "ok" i don't see the settings like you even if it says "installed"

[hardy ermine]

hmm best if you ask in the channel directly

I'm sure they can help

[civic portal]

thanks i will try, ty for the help ❤️

[leaden umbra]

It's in the config too? I don't use UMM

Nothing against UMM. I just have too many tools lol

[hardy ermine]

I think so

[olive fox]

everything in umm is also in the .ini yeah

umm is just a way to make it more accessible

[noble matrix]

Yeah, just kidding. Haha. Although I'm bit afraid it won't he adress anytime soon.

[lyric silo]

So I just noticed Reno aint doing anything for me after 3h lol

Only UI seems to be affected by it. Changing peak brightness does nothing too. What could be wrong?

[full dagger]

Hey, i installed your HDR fix and i have Lilium's HDR analysis too, inactive for the most part but but from time to time i turn it on to check things out and mever had a crash in this game, 4080 Super GPU with latest driver and 13900K CPU if it matters. I played like 2 1/2 hours and the biggest problem i encountered is some nasty screen tears but they dont last long by i encountered them a few times! Anyways your HDR fix looks good, thanks!

[lyric silo]

Oh ok nvm silly me

[olive fox]

you have ingame hdr on?

[full dagger]

I loved SH2 Remake, its so much better in every way than SHf! I also loved so much Cronos, good games!

[olive fox]

well its a bit of an unfair comparison cause blooper basically just had to pretty it up, all the groundwork was already laid for them

[bright coyote]

u not reading pinned post is issue

it's written here what u need to do

[bright coyote]

motion blur should be on - it fixes those weird issues. but honestly I don't have them but I use AMD GPU, that lilium shader causes crashes it's stated in pinned post

[full dagger]

Yeah, i have motion blur on off, like i said, never had a crash, i think the user Umer had them even with the vanilla game, just Lilium's HDR analysis shader and the vanilla game without Musa's fix, i didnt so i dont know, ill play more and see but in almost 3 hours i should have got at least one. Thanks for the tip with the motion blur option but i don't think I'll enable it, i hate blur effects, grain, chromatic aberration, depth of field

[olive fox]

motion blur is not noticeable on 0.1 and it fixes the issue so

[lyric silo]

I did read it

[bright coyote]

so u should know that sliders dont appley real time

[granite halo]

cant play game without motioblur

i think most people who hate motion blur havent experienced proper motion blur yet

[olive fox]

I agree

per object motion blur is a must have for fluidity

[cursive plover]

Does anyone else have these marks on their screen on all corners?

I just noticed them after losing right arm sleeve. I don't know if it is intended or a visual bug lol

[fleet goblet]

yeah, it's just some dirty camera lens effect that is more visible in some scenes than others

it's the game itself, not Reno

[leaden umbra]

I typically turn it off

what really pisses me off is dirty lens effect

[cursive plover]

Do you know how to turn it off ?

Engine edit

[fleet goblet]

I don't, no

[leaden umbra]

dirty lens effect is one of the worst effects

cronos has it bad

[fleet goblet]

I'm fine with lens effects usually, but this is the exception to that

[cursive plover]

r.LensDirtIntensity=0

Chatgpt told me to try this

[leaden umbra]

let me know if it works!

[cursive plover]

Nah it's still there

oh i found the fix

r.BloomQuality=0

That removes it

[fleet goblet]

that sounds like it's going to alter more than just that lens effect

[cursive plover]

Yeah probably but that ugly effect has to go

[modest jolt]

did you guys notice any sort of like.. flickerig or something similiar to it? it's a bit hard to explain but its like for like a ms i can see random frames, not sure if they are just older ones or not i assume they are but its just like really weird.

wondering if its the game, renodx thingy or somthnig else

[leaden umbra]

I wouldn't disable all bloom, just for that. It's possible the bloom triggers that effect. Like it's still probably separate.

It's just no bloom = less light pointed at the camera

So no dirty lens

But the bloom /= dirty lens

[meager drum]

probably a custom thing that writes to the bloom texture

[leaden umbra]

I definitely hate the effect too though. It's incredibly bad in cronos cutscenes.

[hardy ermine]

do you guys see banding here in the background?

or is it my TV?

[granite halo]

no

[hardy ermine]

I see a lot of banding in low light scenes unfortunately

[olive fox]

thats a thing sadly

it is what it is

[worldly willow]

no banding on my G5

[hardy ermine]

either I live with it or I add an insane amount of film grain haha

[granite halo]

what display you are using ?

woled or qdoled

[modest jolt]

Caught it "flickering" or whatever the name for it is.

is it just me?

[frosty burrow]

Allegedly it's caused by upscaling
You either need to run TSR at 100% res or force DLAA
Or wait for the patch

[hardy ermine]

WOLED - LG C9

quite an old tv I know but it's still quite up to date with features thankfully

[grand lagoon]

old tv but still decent

I have a CX and I cannot wait to receive my S95F 😹

[hardy ermine]

Yea I'm waiting for the perfect deal too

though I would feel bad replacing it since the panel is still in top shape

only roughly 1.2k hours or so on it

[hardy ermine]

apparently using motion blur fixes the issue

use a .ini tweak to turn it down to 0.1 or so if you don't like motion blur

I haven't seen the issue myself

[modest jolt]

Yeah I just got recommended to use the silent hill f ultra thing

[grand lagoon]

yeah I feel you, but I've seen a very good deal : 1800€ the 65 inch was too good to pass on

[modest jolt]

I assume it won't have issues with renodx

[hardy ermine]

it won't

I'm using it myself

[hardy ermine]

yea that is indeed a good deal

[grand lagoon]

same no issue with ultra mod and renodx

[modest jolt]

I miss my s95d..

[leaden umbra]

I really like the 42" C4.

It looks great after calibration

[hardy ermine]

are you using it as a desktop monitor?

[olive fox]

all you have to do is add a small amount of motion blur

oh chat didnt scroll gg

[leaden umbra]

Yes. I use my old SDR monitor for everything except games and videos

Then i switch to the c4

[hardy ermine]

nice

42'' is absolutely the max size I could imagine wanting on my desk

I couldn't imagine working on it though

[leaden umbra]

I would never be able to use larger than 42"

[grand lagoon]

I know a guy on this discord who's using a 55 inch tv as a gaming monitor

[leaden umbra]

I think it's too big tbh. But it's the smallest TV they make so 🤷

[leaden umbra]

You absolutely can. You just have to back up

You can use a 77" TV as a monitor if you want, as long as you move back

[grand lagoon]

how do you back up enough with keyboard and mouse ?

[hardy ermine]

I guess you just use a gamepad

^^

[leaden umbra]

Good question. Idk. Mount the TV? Extremely deep desk? Use a controller?

[grand lagoon]

yeah I mean I do use my CX as a gaming monitor myself, but only with a controller

I have a monitor just for Keyboard and mouse

[leaden umbra]

I have the 42" as far back as i can get it without it falling off the desk. It's probably still a few inches too close

Playing with a controller is great because i can recline back

[hardy ermine]

I already dislike how my 1440p monitor looks at 90cm distance

compared to 4k tv at 2.5m

[grand lagoon]

I agree

usually you play 1440p on a 27 inch really close like 50cm

[leaden umbra]

My TV actually has loser PPI than my 1440p 27"

[grand lagoon]

PPI doesnt mean shit if you're far enough

you won't notice the difference

[hardy ermine]

yea PPD is more relevant

or so

I don't remember what it's called

https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/

that's why my 4k tv looks so much better at 2.5m compared to my samsung oled g9

[grand lagoon]

Yeah same for me my CX looks better than my monitor at 2.30m

looks like 2.30m is the optimal distance for 65 inch

[worldly willow]

WHAT, ONLY?

bros not even using his tv

[grand lagoon]

I have 2.8k hours on my CX 🤣

[hardy ermine]

haha it was actuallly a second hand I got last year or so

I went over there checked the hours

only 600 hours or so

panel was in excellent condition

so I bought it

[grand lagoon]

the guy you bought it from barely used his tv

[dim furnace]

23834 on mine

[hardy ermine]

yep

[grand lagoon]

23K hours ???

[sullen mulch]

If you're outputting 10 bit or higher, try enabling nvidia dithering with the ColorControl app.

[hardy ermine]

he had it in his gym for whatever reason

[dim furnace]

yes

[sullen mulch]

or, as a quick test, switch to 8 bit color since that enables dithering automatically

I don't see any banding in that image with 8 bit color

[worldly willow]

I already passed you on my G5 in half a year bro

[hardy ermine]

dude

if I had a g5

I would never leave my house

[grand lagoon]

fair enough

[worldly willow]

[grand lagoon]

I would have bought the G5 if it had matte coating

oh well

[worldly willow]

ew

tf

[hardy ermine]

fr?

That's the only reason I wouldn't pick samsung personally haha

[grand lagoon]

I have a ton of sunlight at my home, basically cannot watch anything during the day

[hardy ermine]

yea fair enough though I'd rather put up curtains everywhere

[grand lagoon]

my wife doesnt want me to live like a vampire all day I guess

I dont really like the matte coating but it's a plus here obviously

[stuck plume]

Someone mentioned it happens when motion blur is off and DLSS is on at the same time. I'm on DLSS Quality and have played almost 8 hours, and I haven't had that issue once

[spiral badger]

A stable fps cap fixes it as well

[worldly willow]

May I introduce my best friend

[granite halo]

did you apply temporal dithering on it

[hardy ermine]

this is good advice I will check if that helps and install color control

[frosty burrow]

I never turn off MB and had the same issue

I also used TSR as DLSS has isses with lumen

[granite halo]

as jon said just set 8bit in nvcp will automatically enable it

[hardy ermine]

it is indeed muuuuuch better

[stuck plume]

and you had the same issue with TSR?

[worldly willow]

yeah but you should have 10 bit tho for hdr

so go enable proper dithering

[granite halo]

no difference with 8bit temporal dithering

[worldly willow]

[granite halo]

doge explained it

though you can do 10bit with 10bit temporal dithering

[granite pelican]

Match sdr or default ?

[hardy ermine]

I enabled dithering through color control for 10bit now

[granite halo]

which has more banding but preserves slightly more details

[hardy ermine]

let's see if this helped

[granite halo]

8bit dithering has less banding

[frosty burrow]

ya

[worldly willow]

thats what i do

i cant really seem to tell a diff between temporal, 2x2 static and 2x2 dynamic

banding quality or noise wise

[hardy ermine]

hmm I think my problem is with the fog in low light scenes

I think it's actually the fog that looks bad for me

dithering didn't help sadly

[sullen mulch]

the fog is a known issue. Musa said they use an 11 bit resource and it breaks with resource upgrades

[hardy ermine]

ah

I guess that's it then

[stuck plume]

it looks much better for me with perceptual film grain at 50

[hardy ermine]

yea it's better with grain but still very noticable

actually quite distracting

[stuck plume]

honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's tied to the GPU - like the 50 series for example. People with 50 series cards have had crashes in this game so maybe its related

but like I said, it's 100% flawless for me on 40 series

[lyric silo]

I haven´t gotten this in 8h of playtime

Btw is the ingame hour counter broken? It says 5h and Steam says 8h

[hardy ermine]

I think steam measures how long the game is technically open and the game only tracks actual playtime

steam time is almost never accurate of your actual playtime

man the fog makes me want to not play this game atm tbh

I hope it's not always this bad

[lyric silo]

But that would suggest I had the game paused or something 3hrs and absolutely no. 1h tops

[lyric silo]

I think its pretty decent given how much of it there is on screen. Kinda impossible to not have some degree of artifacting or issues with so much volumetrics

[hardy ermine]

I guess it's just this area that makes it look so bad

it's basically pitch black and you have a lantern and move through fog

it's horrible

[lyric silo]

Oh yeah that one in the beggining is the worst I´ve seen

Its just in that moment

[granite pelican]

@coarse gate Renodx Working ?

[frosty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-fuck-frustrated-gif-15331740

@modest jolt what GPU do you have

[coarse gate]

Idk haven’t properly played the game yet so idk what that specific scene looks like. You can check if it’s working by setting blowout to 100 and then opening and closing the journal to apply the sliders. If it appears black and white then you’ll know it’s working

[bright coyote]

common issue, turn on motion blur

[bright coyote]

it is working

great, except that one issue i had

once again good job

[granite pelican]

working

[hardy ermine]

I dig the game a lot so far though

kinda souls like but it's still Silent Hill

[bright coyote]

it is not souls like

u dont have place where u heal and after that all enemies respawn

plus sh2 remake was the same if i remember (i havent finished it so not 100% sure, but from what i played it was)

[cinder ember]

Why is this mod not on github or nexus?

[bright coyote]

it is

[hardy ermine]

well I mean with the dodge and parry mechanics but yea I know it's not exactly a souls like

it's a nice combat system I like it

[bright coyote]

a lot ogames have those mechanics

[hardy ermine]

I know

[crimson sequoia]

mfw why did I even buy this game when I am a certified scaredy cat when it comes to games rofl

[bright coyote]

its nice

nice story, graphics

nad its fucking hard, but im playing on hard dificulty

figting with some bosses sometimers took me an hour or so

[lyric silo]

It’s actually not scaring me much to my surprise. It’s more of a constant creepy vibe but not pure terror imo

[lyric silo]

In default difficulty is kinda easy

[crimson sequoia]

I have no issues with movies or stuff in real life, but games for some reason it’s eeeeeh 😄

Amnesia back then was dreadful to go through

[bright coyote]

don't tell me that u wasn't scared when the monster jumped from the ceiling and killed u

[crimson sequoia]

I know that big stalker enemy in the next RE game that can even enter the safe zones if there’s like power outing is going to be the death of me rofl

[bright coyote]

there are monsters that I just choose to run from

and there are monster u cannot run from

it's dog like monster that finds u with ears

if he hears u its impossible to run from him

[modest jolt]

5060 TI

why?

[crimson sequoia]

I’m just starting the game and I don’t have a weapon yet so I am needlessly shitting myself lol

Do enemies respawn btw?

[lyric silo]

Yeah only times I´ve been scared is when an enemy drops from the ceiling or similars lol. But those are cheap and thankfully not plentiful

[lyric silo]

When you rest/save I think so? Haven´t tested tbh

[crimson sequoia]

Eeeh that’d be weird given how weapons can break

[lyric silo]

I´ve never ran out of weapons yet

I´ve been close to, but nah. And I´m fighting everything lol

[winter wedge]

I ran out of weapons once near the end of the game and while I was running around the mobs wondering what now I've noticed a steel pipe lying on the ground in the middle of all this mess which I'm pretty sure wasn't there before, so I'm midly convinced game gives you a basic weapon when you're out. At least during mandatory fights as was this one.

[raw rose]

i'm only 2+ hours of the game and i already hated weapon durability honestly

but im playing on hard because i heard story/normal is too easy with so many healing items

[winter wedge]

yeah, especially if you're using heal after kill omomori, 80% of the time you're full health after a normal fight

[modest jolt]

true but its not actually confirmed.
I tried to install umm and it just like.. didnt do anything? like even when trying to apply stuff like dynamic fps nothing changed~

[weary dew]

think there a mod already to boost that , make it less annyoing .

[lyric silo]

How is it annoying? I fight literally everything I see and I haven’t ran out of weapons in the entire game lol

[weary dew]

dont know dindt played to much , but at the start of the game after u went outside exploring the map its pretty hard to find weapons ,only found 2 in like 1h or so exploring and both got brake after few minutes , had to use my punches only and drop kicks after ^^

[bright coyote]

OMFG I fucked up

my whole let's play from dark shrine chapter is in 144p

and I no longer have nor save or video...

https://youtu.be/vbMoc0sEotU

sad...

never use YouTube to cut files, never

w8, it looks like yt just didnt convert it yet to resolution it should be

cuz now its 240p and if i open it on firefox its 1440p but no HDR, czu FF dont support it

[harsh wharf]

@coarse gate The black screen appears to happen when using DLSS

this is that linux issue

i'm assuming thats partially what that dlss fix is for

[coarse gate]

Idk

AFAIK DLSS fix is mainly for getting fg working in games where you upgrade sdr to hdr

[harsh wharf]

hmnn

tried replacing the game's dll and now the game crashes when I select dlss

[raw rose]

same. i ran out weapons during the begining when the town opend up and had to reload and run past enemies to grab stuff.

[weary dew]

ya think they need to balance that early trailer park ,camp side there at the start of the game , cant find any weapons there now , or maybe its meant like this to force u not stay there to long and go to other places .

[crimson sequoia]

Is there any way to change the combat difficulty after starting a save? I kept the default that were Hard for puzzles and Story for combat lol

[lyric silo]

You can’t from the options?

You wanna make it harder or easier?

[crimson sequoia]

I’d have tested how hard feel at least, but also from what I read, it just takes that much more time to kill enemies in comparison

Whereas I’d just be happy with a doubling of damage maybe, instead of turning them into HP sacks

[lyric silo]

Yeah dunno how hard works but it’s probably just hp sacks

[bright coyote]

don't think so. basic enemy takes 3 - 4 hits to kill

they just attack more often and aren't predictable I believe

[crimson sequoia]

3-4 "normal" hits, or 3-4 heavy hits after being countered?

[bright coyote]

they kinda do the same DMG

just u can't stun with normal hits

later when u will have better weapons like axe it will be different, cuz u do more DMG as u hold heavy attack button

[coarse gate]

I assume there's a red tinted area of the game

does anyone know which area

[fleet goblet]

the otherworld sections have kind of a red hue, I guess?

there's all this stuff as well

[fleet goblet]

I've not seen what this area looks like without Reno, so maybe they installed it when they were in one of those sections

[hardy ermine]

yea I've used reno since the beginning of the game and wouldn't say there is a particularly red tinted scene except for when she's losing her mind basically

but there it's kinda obvious that's how it's supposed to look like

[fleet goblet]

yeah, it's definitely intended

[hardy ermine]

I just finished the section with the scarecrows

damn that was kinda intense haha

[coarse gate]

that scene looks really cool, unfortunately they spoiled that in the gameplay previews

[hardy ermine]

glad I didn't see those

had me sweating

[lyric silo]

No clue

[lyric silo]

Never watch those for this kind of games

[lyric silo]

That’s my favorite section of the game so far. The puzzle was so cool too

And the vibes just PERFECT

[hardy ermine]

yea that was really cool

I messed up on the last one though and that got hella messy

[lyric silo]

SAME hahahahahshs I couldn’t figure it out

I literally tried everything except the good one lol

[hardy ermine]

hahaha yea and running in circles while trying all of them

[lyric silo]

The other ones I did in 1 or 2 tries

[edgy edge]

has anyone got this working with linux? my game just crashes after the splash screen.

i installed reshade add on support via the command line

[woven sky]

works fine for me

does it work without reshade?

[woven sky]

idk how that works. personally i just copied the 64bit dll, renamed it to dxgi.dll, and added it to WINEDLLOVERRIDES

[edgy edge]

yeah

[edgy edge]

ill try that

[meager drum]

WINED L LOVER RIDES

kinky

[hardy ermine]

literally how I always read that lmao

[woven sky]

did you expect anything better from linux users?

[bright coyote]

maybe this?

omfg this looks awfull in SDR

[coarse gate]

Ew wtf

[meager drum]

this is why we do what we do

[bright coyote]

or maybe ; when ur low on health screen gets kinda red

[rancid vessel]

This part of the game became so bright after I saved and restarted

How it was before I restarted the game

I enabled lumen and now it's working

Weird because I was playing without lumen

[obtuse marten]

What settings did you use? the dark areas seem way to dark on my lg c4

[brave dawn]

left renodx default (peak brightness 1000), did windows HDR calibration in a dark room, enabled Dolby Vision on TV and PC, set TV to game optimizer mode

im not any kind of expert but i liked how it looked

[hazy nova]

Just wanted to mention here that, for some reason, turning on the mod's version of film grain got rid of color banding for me. It's very odd but I'm grateful for its inclusion, the banding during dark scenes was awful. Thanks for the mod 🙏

[sullen mulch]

that's one of the benefits of a good film grain

[obtuse marten]

Found out it was Ultraplus+ mod that was making it very dark, all goood now.

[brave dawn]

enjoy, great looking game on C4

[full dagger]

And how is the panel holding, probably by now a lot of DSE(if not burn in) and dead pixels!

[dim furnace]

No burn-in, DSE you can see a bit around 5% gray, visible in near blacks in some games (I don't remember how much there was when the panel was new, for all I know it was similar). Dead pixels I have a decent amount near the edges, nothing that is actually visible in content

[whole gorge]

crashed

After trying many solutions, the game still crashes during play. Is there any effective solution currently? My graphics card is 5090D.

This is the only way I've been making it not to crash consistently. Not even reinstalling drivers every time worked.

[livid sundial]

Restarting pc anyways works for me, which is crazy. 5090 too

[noble matrix]

I'd like to update to "if ever" instead of "anytime soon".

[coarse gate]

I had crashes with Lilium hdr analysis installed

They went away immediately after I deleted the shader

If you have any reshade shaders they could be causing crashes

You can delete the reshade-shaders folder

[noble matrix]

Even if you don't have them activated?

But I think I have none now. I did a fresh install of the game even and just the basic stuff for RenoDX to work.

[hardy ermine]

yea this helped on my system

Didn't have a single crash since I removed all shaders basically

[coarse gate]

I think so

But hdr analysis was the one causing issues seemingly

I left sdr trc fix installed and had no issues

[noble matrix]

Nuked that folder. We'll see. Will try this as well.

Silent Hill f on PC has major crashing problems on GeForce 5090s. You may have read that to "fix" it you need to reinstall your GPU driver ... every time the game crashes. Or reboot your PC. Kinda sucks.

I found another solution that's much easier and way faster ...

hdr analysis crashes the game for me also

Game devs these days

[granite pelican]

@coarse gate default or sdr match ?

[modest jolt]

this is so weird i played the game with redonx for a while,, then i reinstalled and now it doesnt work if i have the redonx silenthill.addon64 lol

without it, it works and even reshade loads correctly

oh now it works but.. only through the desktop shortcut. not by just opening the exe on the game folder... alright..

[leaden umbra]

Maybe try removing and reinstalling reshade

[hidden sentinel]

Oh my god, thank you for this tip.

[frosty burrow]

Film grain is basically dithering, and it's pretty much obligatory in HDR, IMO

[hidden sentinel]

It should probably be enabled by default

[frosty burrow]

probably

[hardy ermine]

yea the ingame filmgrain is trash though so I'm really happy musa included shortfuse's

[river aspen]

I hated filmgrain in games until I tried shortfuse's

[worldly willow]

Is it shortfuses or lilium?

Filmgrain I mean

[hardy ermine]

maybe lilium's actually yea I'm not sure

the one musa included

I think it's shortfuse's filmgrain filter

[river aspen]

Shortfuse's

[worldly willow]

I see

[river aspen]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/tree/main/src/reshadefx

It's in here

[worldly willow]

I didn’t actually know Shortfuse had one as well, was only aware of liliums and thought that’s the one included in many renodx addons

Me stoopid

[river aspen]

Ah damm that didn't work

Then we send it separately

In any case good film grain can make a world of difference

[worldly willow]

Im not the biggest fan of filmgrain with the g5 because that thing itself has some noisy dither going on already

Which is very unfortunate

Would love to use proper filmgrain

[bright coyote]

u guys are praising it. it's the one that's on by default, or u need to turn it on somehow?

[meager drum]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/reshade-shaders

[river aspen]

Thanks

That might actually have been where I originally got it from but I forgot

So I just used search in RenoDX because I knew it was used in some mods

[meager drum]

you probably did get it from there, but the reshadefx on the reshade-shaders repo is more upto-date as a reshade fx

need to move it out of the renodx repo

[river aspen]

I would need to check my download folder to be sure but I'm just happy it exists and it is awesome

[woven musk]

if you see this in rl through a camera... You're about to die because the radiaition is off the charts

[coarse gate]

I like it but gamers have an aneurysm when they see any postfx

[coarse gate]

The film grain slider. In vanilla it seems that they only apply film grain in the main menu

So if you set the slider to perceptual you can use the improved film grain and use it anywhere

[inner veldt]

Is my monitor shit and crushing blacks or is the game supposed to look like the first picture with renodx (comparison is Reno off in the second pic)

[bright coyote]

does it really look that good/

i usually turn it off

[coarse gate]

I like film grain in horror games in general

I could add it to recommended settings

Actually all my settings at default except for film grain are my recommended anyway

[bright coyote]

almost finished it, but ill try

[wise rover]

Assuming your recommended is always matching SDR anyway, right?

[coarse gate]

Depends on game

[inner veldt]

You were having crashes with 5090 as well???

[wise rover]

I'd say maybe add an author's preset or something, if you tend to go away from SDR look at times etc.

Be nice for people to have a quick button to apply with how the author thinks game looks best, etc.

[inner veldt]

I swear I dropped 4 grand Canadian on this thing and it’s such a pain sometimes

[inner veldt]

Anyone got advice on this btw? Is my monitor just crap? MAG321UP

[fleet goblet]

it might be crushed, but those sections are just dark as well

[noble matrix]

Found kind of a workaround but the game seems to become more a more unstable everytime you boot it.

[raw fulcrum]

even though the addon is loaded it just "feels" like its not doing anything and i dont know why... 😭

[inner veldt]

That’s what it should feel like

[fleet goblet]

feel like I've gotten a miracle 5090 where I haven't had a single crash and I'm nearly at the end of the game

[inner veldt]

I think the crashes mostly happen on your second boot of the game

So

You run the game, immediately close it

Then run it again

Boom crashes galore

[fleet goblet]

I have rebooted the game plenty of times, no issue

[inner veldt]

People had the same issues with BL4

I changed my shader cache to be 100 gigs

💀

[fleet goblet]

I've always had that set to unlimited, it gets nuked each driver update, so why not

[coarse gate]

68 should be visible

64 and everything below should be all black

[granite pelican]

On phone showing till 96

[civic portal]

on mine till 92 AW3423DWF

[fleet goblet]

damn and I thought my crush was bad only comfortably seeing 76

[gloomy orbit]

is that from another mod? I don't have that option

[fleet goblet]

yes, Musa's RDR2 mod

[coarse gate]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3423dwf

extreme black crush

[hardy ermine]

I kinda fixed black crush with nvidia control panel on my monitor but it's not perfect of course

[wise rover]

Crazy how the reflection off other monitors alone affects this so much, let alone some very dim lighting in the room.

I thought I fucked up my settings cause I couldn't see 68 at all, going in dark fixed it lol

miniLED performs same way, too.

[coarse gate]

I had to set shadow detail to -1 on my g80sd though that might be changing too much

[fleet goblet]

I can see 76 with my dim lamp on and just about 72 in pitch black doing some eye gymnastics, but there's no chance I could see 68

[wise rover]

Like in-game or like on the panel itself?

[coarse gate]

monitor osd

it also has an ST.2084 slider

but that seems to change the overall brightness

[wise rover]

On my miniLED, the default black level is 50 and that pattenr works glorious on that.

But if I wanna mimic miniLED to be similar to my OLEDs, I kinda bring it down to black level 47, and that greatly enhances contrasts.

But then crushes black, so I can barely see anything on 92 and below.

[inner veldt]

All of this makes me want to replace my QD OLED with a WOLED

[wise rover]

That's what I did few years ago.

Bought both, returned QD-OLED.

I couldn't deal with it fucking with muh blacks!

Albeit, if whatever issue you're running into is on your monitor, I doubt anything will help anyway.

Monitor experience is a bit cucked in comparison to TVs.

[coarse gate]

how bright are the other monitors that you have a noticeable reflection

[weary dew]

ya it always been , u pay premium for a monitor , and a middle level tv still beats it easely

[coarse gate]

i keep windows sdr slider at 5

100 nits

[wise rover]

All same sized OLEDs tilted just enough to look at each other, reflection is there enough to notice it, but going black background fixes that. But with bright enough wallpapers, yeah.

I keep my 200 nits.

But it's big ass 48" screens tilted slightly in a usual 3x setup.

And I also had my room lights on, which are rather dim but yeah.
