README

  • (Moderate) 2x Super Sampling (at least for me) can make some color texture != aspect ratio, meaning texture upgrade will miss. (Can't do Hot Swap, it explodes everything.)
  • (Moderate?) Auto exposure flickers as it changes exposure. Is that in the original?
  • (Bruh) Lilium's analysis is on a fallback mode (because shader model 4.0 i think). No graphs.

i was super dumb. i thought i had untonemapped color, but the SDR tonemap was multiple draw calls earlier. thats why its a complete replacement with frostbite. now its actually right with crazy good blowout restoration.

#

half the time making this, I was confused because the swapchain proxy was broken.

compared to bf3, bf4, and nfsrivals, this is completely different.

You're gonna make me reinstall this game in 2025. I don't think it's rose tinted nostalgia glasses saying this game has the best gameplay loop of them all. Stacking insane combo bounties with pursuit breakers was so much fun. Gamers just like seeing number go up. Meanwhile cops in the newer games are just so frustratingnly annoying with no payoff for escaping them but just being annoying it adds nothing to the games but making them worse. But in MW fighting them was actually the best part.

# marble slate I haven't seen a pipeline creation failure before. Usually means something is in...

you are right! it was both shader proxies being shahder model 5.0, but the game only accepts 4.0.
but after fixing, im only getting correct decode by the ReShade fx. SwapChainPass is always under the peak (e.g. 975 for 1000 peak), and the only time it hits peak is when I make it NaN infinity white.
swapchain::set_color_space, gamma correction, or intermediate en/decode... this soft max output doesn't change.
i see some games with 4.0, but is there some secret special thing i have to do?

#

i did, i got various errors and went down a rabbit hole of trying to elevate my account priviledges

#

apparently i shouldnt have went with an online account, because even if you are part of the "administrators" users group, you arent really

#

i just use a command and enable/disable local admin whenever i need to paste.. kinda annoying but not really fixable in any other way
