Resident Evil 4 Remake

[royal plaza]

not in cutscenes

[mild drum]

need my leon screenshots

[crude sun]

I can give it to the game being good enought without pt but the characters are es

[royal plaza]

the only time you actually are looking at the faces really

[crude sun]

Thats different

Ingame lightning changes over the model the camera is facing

When a cutscene

[crude sun]

Leon is more tired without PT
Ma boi

[royal plaza]

the part that's most relevant doesn't count

[crude sun]

But yea, the infamous grace screnshot may not be fully as that but it does actually make her look like a different person

[mild drum]

can't ~~good ~~ goon without pt

[crude sun]

Idk about you, but I do constantly look at my characters while playing not only on cutscenes

[royal plaza]

can't spell good without raster

[crude sun]

So for me its a must on pt

[royal plaza]

you're regularly spinning the camera around without turning just to stare at their faces?

[hasty holly]

I'll highly disagree on that too 😛

[crude sun]

Yes?

[royal plaza]

well alright then

[crude sun]

Leon is hot bro grace too

[hasty holly]

All the added small nuances with PT are huge, in the grand scheme of things

[crude sun]

Its just a thing I got after rdr2

I liked to see arthur reactions to stuff

Even if there are no details on other games

[hasty holly]

That CA still enabled, tho

[crude sun]

Bro there id a scene that is wild

W8 let me search it

[mild drum]

[hasty holly]

The differences between RT and PT would be smaller if they supported RT shadows, but still

[crude sun]

Dont get me wrong im not saying it looks bad

But this is another thingggg

[royal plaza]

yeah there are some highlighted scenes where it takes it to the next level, but they are the exception more often than the rule

and would probably help if the RT itself were not so gimped to start with, but crapcom moment i guess

[mild drum]

are the reflections still 240p with rt

re engine rt has been ass

[crude sun]

Yea i can agree some scenes may dont have the spected more “wow this looks wild” scene
But if there are gonna be some that will look 30 times better than normal i will use it

[hasty holly]

The scenes with big differences are not even what I enjoy the most, it's really the more accurate lighting on most part of the images, no matter the scenes

[crude sun]

Yea

Re engine is rlly good

But in some stuff

It lacks

And sadly thats one of them
Thats why all the memes with re4remake leon

With the real angry non shadows face

[hasty holly]

They just need to expose more controls in the UI when it comes to RT, just "Low/High" is not cutting it

and allowing to go much further than consoles settings too

Because it can, if you force it to, for certain things

[crude sun]

Yup

[hasty holly]

Low/High is fine for predetermined presets, but you should at least be able to independently control the quality of each RT effect they are using, whether it is GI, AO, reflections (and ideally shadows if they supported them)

Many RT games are bound to not age as gracefully as they should because, understandably for the time because of the hardware, they kneecapped things like the number of rays per pixel, bounces, or the buffer resolution of specific RT effects, and you often have no way to unlock these

The art of futurerproofing a game is a long lost one lol

[royal plaza]

i mean, if you add this stuff, people are just gonna complain that your game is unoptimized slop and you should have optimized floor shadow or whatever

lose lose situation for developers

[hasty holly]

I know, but still

Like in some kind of advanced/experimental section, with an annoying warning popping up everytime you enter it, saying how you are on your own with these, and they may not prove useful until you have hardware of the future

Or in a config file, even

[royal plaza]

handholding the player through a settings menu smh stop treating your players like idiots ||/s ||

config file is probably the most sensible solution, but it also feels strange to ask your players to go through a config file for that by design

[hasty holly]

Well, what I am hinting at is. you do not tell them anything per se

It'd be in the relevant graphics config file, but it'd not be exposed anyway, and nothing would point towards it in an obvious manner

That's one way to avoid the DarkSydePhil-adjacent of this world rofl

[hushed seal]

I like how RR makes him 10 years younger
SSS in general seems fucked with RR
Everyone looks like a plastic doll

[royal plaza]

yeah that was bothering me too but everyone seems to love it so i was glossing over it

grace looks like she put on 7 layers of makeup

[hushed seal]

It looks a bit better with preset E but the ghosting is absurd at times

[hasty holly]

I mean, he definitely looks 40+ tbh

[mild drum]

the smooth skin is a tradeoff that's more than worth it

rt is too fucked

just gotta wait for rr trashformer v2

[crude sun]

Yup, i totally prefer him or her to look as they just went on makeup rather than look cursed as that

[fathom summit]

gamers just hate post processing effects 😄

[jovial kiln]

PT definitely doesn't delete details like this tho

like it retains most detail still

does depend a lot on the lighting however

[spice orbit]

people also think that incorrectly lit overexaggerated normal maps are how it's meant to look just because that's how most games have looked for decades

[spice orbit]

braindead take as this only happens in very few instances where the denoiser has little to work with and over-averages

[sinful hearth]

DLDSR it

[fathom summit]

i think the bottom line is that if everyone could afford having PT on with great performance, most would prefer it 🙂
i can't and i'm fine with it

[spice orbit]

yeah but you see this all the time from people who can't run RT/PT and go on to post cope about how it's actually bad and not worth having

[polar pike]

High RT = 120fps ish
PT = 60 ish

hmm hard choice

[jovial kiln]

RT looks pretty terrible tho imo

the denoising is so bad

[polar pike]

le perf tho

also frame gen

[jovial kiln]

I should rephrase

I don't think RT is better looking than rasterization due to the denoising

But i guess if you can look past the noise and artifacts it's fine

[polar pike]

PT has noise / artifacting too thanks to RR

[jovial kiln]

actually it's thanks to RR the image is usable at all lmao

but yes, even so, the noise / artifacts are less than with RT

[fathom summit]

cope helps 😆

[edgy wind]

Can anyone help me with upscale mod? Tried several versions without success.
Sometimes mod get me “backend is not loaded” message
Other version looks like working but give me a lot of artifacts when moving camera

I know this thread is for hdr mod, but still 😬

[mild drum]

are the artifacts just the upscaling mod

i tried it in re2 a while back and it was absolute dogshit

since its just a post process

[edgy wind]

Yep
I think I found a root cause
RCAS checkbox in upscaler mod settings. With it’s disabled artifacts are gone

[edgy wind]

But fsr2…. Is bad too

[mild drum]

I've found fsr2 to be usable

if not good

ultimately it's not a fake post process

[crude sun]

@mild drum do you prefer the defaults or the purist?

[edgy wind]

That’s true especially in 4k. Will go for it I think

[royal plaza]

Fsr2 in re4r at 4k quality is perfectly usable

Just....not great

[mild drum]

defaults

[crude sun]

Totally
If anything, fxaa+taa

If you can ignore the issues that comes qith it, dlss/dlaa preset M

And in a couple hours I will check pssr2 to see how it is

[royal plaza]

The engine taa is really bad, fsr2 is probably the way to go for re4r

Re4r has a pro patch?

[crude sun]

Mmmm idk. Im playing just now, and changing from taa/dlss/fsr

Tbh I see fsr rlly blurry

Tho..

Let me try again with the sharpening thing

[crude sun]

It used pssr1
All games that use pssr can be moved to pssr2

[mild drum]

with taa + fxaa I found it made foliage too aliased

fsr2 is more blurred but overall less annoying

[royal plaza]

Hmmm that might be the best way to play now then, interesting turn of events

[crude sun]

Thats a fact as well

[crude sun]

I see

Im more into the, clear as possible and ignore other artifacts

Tho I just comoleted the game with dlss and was not bad as I though

Not as good as could be either

[crude sun]

Yea, im waiting it patiently, it will be a “native” way to improve it finally

[crude sun]

Well

Im giving it a try

And I must say

Holy fkn cow

The game looks

Clearer as fuck

Better than dlss mod imo as it doesnt introduce any weird thing on screen. Im sad for mods, and reno, but aside from that thr game looks sharper than pc

[mild drum]

I have a ps5 pro that I haven't used in like a year

could check it out

[crude sun]

Im testing out rn the off vs on

Holly fk yea it is noticeabl

Lot of noise gone

Sharper

I could put it on an example here, as with dlss the mod can not get the noise from
The sacks gone, taa is a little blurry and fsr2 is blurrier with maybe a little less thingy

But here there is no noise at all

There is a little 1% noise at moving

But you need to look it very closely to see it

And having it count the game is not using pssr2 native but as a setting to improve it
It could get even better
Tho Idontthink capcom will update it to re4

[rocky bolt]

I wanted to try out the Graphics Enhanced Mod with DLSS Mod but with both active I can’t open the Reshade menu at all. If I press the configured key it seems like it‘s open because I can’t do anything ingame anymore but it doesn’t show up. When I press the key again I can move around again and all. Anyone know what’s up?

[brazen breach]

try renaming reshade dxgi.dll to d3d12.dll

[rocky bolt]

Will try thx

[loud tendon]

Disable dlss, do what you have to do in reshade, then re-enable dlss

[cinder grove]

This worked for me, ty

[rocky bolt]

Worked for me also, thx 🙂

[safe basin]

Its image from ps5 pro + re 4 remake + pssr 2 on ? Such a deep and cool right contrast and sharpness !

[crude sun]

Yup bro, fully ps5 pro rocking there

[hushed seal]

Re4 didn't use pisser

They went from the interlaced 4k on PS5 to the full 4k

But it's still using Capcom taa

[crude sun]

I dont know why a lot of people think that. If you use resolution mode on hfr mode it does use the PSSR2.
In any other settings PSSR is not enabled

[hushed seal]

Source?

[pliant fiber]

It does use PSSR in one of the modes

[hushed seal]

Resident Evil 4 Remake is more profound in its performance gains, though it's also a more taxing title overall once all visual bells and whistles are enabled. Surprisingly, PS5 Pro makes no major visual changes - and PSSR is a no-show while outputing at 60Hz - with 4K checkerboard rendering used there much like the base PS5 version. The resolution mode runs natively at 2160p, while the performance mode runs at around 1944p once again. RT is optional, adding RT reflections when engaged, and there's a hair strand option too. However, the new 120Hz HFR mode on PS5 Pro adjusts the resolution setup, and we can confirm that this instead runs at 1536x864, with a PSSR upscale to 4K (or 40 per cent scale of the 4K reconstructed target). So long as 120Hz selected it switches to this alternate rendering mode, though 60Hz continues to use base PS5's 4K checkerboard method. Looking back at the base PS5, running the game on the resolution mode with RT turned out to be a recipe for disaster with a 40-60fps frame-rate, at times going below the ideal VRR window. A solution for base PS5 users is the performance mode, which runs at 55-60fps with RT.

Huh

[pliant fiber]

I could be wrong, I've just seen so many people mention it now lol

Oh wait nvm

Let's kick off our tour of the series' upgrades on PS5 Pro with RE Village. This is the only game to get PSSR upscaling, with core visual settings otherwise staying in place from the base machine.

But I read this

But yeah later on they say RE4 gets PSSR

[hushed seal]

No, youre and @crude sun are right, it does says that RE4 uses pisser but only in the HFR mode lol

[hushed seal]

That's becasue the article was edited

The video doesn't mention this, but they did add the note in the description

Update 14/12/24: There is a difference in resolution while using the 120Hz mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS5 Pro - and we can confirm that this runs at 1536x864, with a PSSR upscale to 4K (or 40% scale of the 4K reconstructed target). So long as 120Hz selected it switches to this alternate rendering mode, though 60Hz continues to use base PS5's 4K checkerboard method in this game.

The fact they went back and added upscaling to the PS5 pro but not PC is so ass

Same with the FF7 Remake on Switch 2

For the latter at least we have Luma

[pliant fiber]

Don't worry they're saving it for the PS6/PC path tracing update in a couple years

[crude sun]

Yeaa its funny cause if you use 60fps it used taa base
On HFR it uses pssr ofc for going to 90
So actually pssr2 looks sick. Tho, I comoleted a full run with pssr2 and some areas you can see some things are weird but are like 3 in total. For example the water right before fighting del lago is even more blurried and pixelated
So far I prefer Pssr2 over TAA and fsr pc, even battling or maybe better than dlss since its not native.

[snow wing]

Feels weird thinking about trying the ps5 pro version when I have a 5090 machine

[crude sun]

Ik, I have a 4080 super XD
But mmm for this game at least with all the situation over fsr and not being able to force dlss, ps5 pro does feel better

Plus

Honestly the frame time on consoles its just as clean as one could try, sometimes I prefer to play on ps5 than the pc for that

[snow wing]

I'd miss reno though, wish they would put dlss in at least officially

[crude sun]

Yeaa, is sadly a give or trade over hdr and sharpening:(

[snow wing]

oh yeah, forgot about the sharpening, think I have a reframework plugin to fix that

[cinder grove]

@mild drum I’m thinking about playing RE5 and RE6. Any mod plans for them?

[mild drum]

possibly one day but can't guarantee it'll even work cause dx9 modding is weird

[sweet kiln]

I think RE5 shipped originally with both DX9 and DX10, would that make a difference?

[royal plaza]

How do we even mod dx9? Dgvoodoo?

[hushed seal]

DX10 is no longer avalible anyway

[mild drum]

RenoDX has dx9 support but only for windows and it’s not as reliable as dx10-12

[royal plaza]

Didn't know it had support for 10 either, kinda just assumed it doesn't since most things don't

[fathom summit]

There's Luma planned for RE5

[fathom summit]

a better game for Reno would be RE1 HD Remaster 🙂

totally not suggesting it because i'm about to replay it 😉

[mild drum]

could just wait for the re remaster

[fathom summit]

nah, that's remake of the remaster lol

[jaunty kite]

You can just do it, but it’s a pain in the ass

Shaders are hard to decompile and you hit function limits and shit

[royal plaza]

a lot of games i would be interested in learning modding for would be dx9 so good to know. sounds like it's probably not in the cards for my skillset

[jaunty kite]

Re5 might be easy because I think it’s untonemapped

I’d have to check in devkit and see if has an easily hooked shader

[royal plaza]

not interested in RE5 specifically

ain't touching that shit ever again

[jaunty kite]

Oh that was some else that said that

[fathom summit]

i've tried RE5 three times and haven't finished it once
6 i never even touched

didn't fully hate RE5, but didn't love it enough to finish it

[sweet kiln]

I have played 6 through exactly once, so I can say that I have played through the game and would like to never endure it again, I have 1600 hours of RE5 on three different platforms combined, RE5 is a very nice co-op game with a pal

[fathom summit]

i did hear it's great as a co-op and i can easily imagine that, but i only played it singleplayer

[sweet kiln]

the AI in singleplayer is... something entirely else

[fathom summit]

lol
I OWE YOU ONE!

[sweet kiln]

I very much do not enjoy the singleplayer aspect of it, it is very weird how having a pal to play the game absolutely transforms it

[upbeat bridge]

I think so, it can be unclamped with dxvk I'm pretty sure

[mild drum]

I think re5 is unclamped only if you disable the color grading

So still needs some shader edits

[upbeat bridge]

no downsides then

[timid gull]

they sample a 1D lut for each channel

with linear input

[upbeat bridge]

that god awful tint

[timid gull]

thats why it clamps

[mild drum]

Does it band like shit

[timid gull]

in vanilla sdr probably lol

not really with your max ch tonemap + inverse

might be due to resource upgrades

wait.. the game is probably rendering in gamma

thats why theres no banding

got fooled by a srgb decode in the swapchain proxy shader oof

[fathom summit]

i actually started playing RE5 again and it's still fun lol

[hushed seal]

Problematic fave for sure

[smoky tiger]

When I enable smooth motion with renoxd game crashes is this nornal for this renoxd for this game?

[high ibex]

Boutta plsy this

[fathom summit]

the game looks pretty nice

this is modded, but vanilla also doesn't look too bad

the controls though....

you really appreciate RE4R after trying out the oldies lol

[polar pike]

why did you remove the piss filter? it's part of the charm

[calm yarrow]

Yeah weren't the textures colored with the piss filter in mind? It's like those old black and white films where they used extraggerated or weird colors for props because it read better when converted to black and white

[mild drum]

the piss filter is nice

[hasty holly]

From piss filter to let’s make everything “””neutral”””

[polar pike]

Agree

[fathom summit]

isn't it more green rather than yellow? lol

[fathom summit]

not my mod hence not my "artistic" choice 🙂 i will probably add a lut and film grain

[polar pike]

Nah it yellow

[jaunty kite]

the worst part is if you use controller you get that shitty laser sight aiming

if you're on mnk its normal aiming

[fathom summit]

it switches to laser sight with a controller?? i didn't know...i thought the reticle was just a default PC option
i wouldn't wanna play this one with a controller though

[upbeat bridge]

heresy, laser is the best

[jaunty kite]

the laser is so clunky imo

lemme just aim my gun like a normal person

it shouldn't leave the middle of my scream

[upbeat bridge]

imo once you get used to it, it's much better than the reticle in re games specifically

it suits controller aiming better imo, but works pretty good on m&k too

but maybe it's because I played a lot of og re4

I modded laser for the mouse playthrough in 5, switched to it in 6 and bought laser upgrades right away in 4r

plus reticle in re5 is kinda ugly tbh, looks like it's from an on rail shooter

[fathom summit]

the laser does make things easier, plus every shot is basically a focused shot

in modern REs, that is

doesn't make a difference in RE 4-6

[upbeat bridge]

actually in 6 I think it changes how guns behave quite a bit. iirc, with crosshair spread on automatic weapons is stronger and bullets don't spawn from the muzzle

but that's just 6 I think

[fathom summit]

yeah, that was an ignorant statement by me since i haven't played 6, just made an assumption

[manic bolt]

anyone else expeirence serious suttering with the more recent version of Renodx for RE4? I stick to the previous version cause no issues with it.

[tropic mango]

Nope.
On my playthrough this month no stutters except the expected traversal stutters mostly in the opening areas.

[bright pine]

Can anyone clarify where I can find the latest Upscaler REFramework version if im trying to use upscaling in the re4 remake?

[pale anchor]

I'm using this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil42023/mods/5767?tab=description

[marble frigate]

@hushed seal Github HDR Gaming Database is not working. when I click RE4 (or any other game) it gives me error 401

[hushed seal]

Works on my end

[jaunty otter]

this question has probably been asked before but i just wanted to know if theres a way that i can decrease this blue tint even further whilst still having saturation on the warmer colours (note the 0 lut strength and 70 saturation), it's nearly perfect but this last bit of remaining blue tint is pretty ugly

[fathom summit]

@mild drum just wanna say thank you. Been playing the game a lot lately (multiple playthroughs) and the current version of Reno has added a lot to the enjoyment. Whenever I switch to Native, it often looks disgusting in comparison 😄

[barren mesa]

Also having the sliders not working issue on a 9070xt :( Any files I can provide to help?

[young surge]

@mild drum do you enable ray tracing tweaks from reframework ?

[mild drum]

I used the contact shadows and the better reflections

from the johien mod

but not the reframework stuff

[young surge]

this option disables other rt tweaks, but shadows look better on rocks
it also fixes rt shadows in re 3 lab levels.

[mighty terrace]

is the RT worth using in this game or is the quality of it so low that it's better to use raster only?

[mighty terrace]

can't get reshade to work in this game.. is the DLSS mod conflicting with it?

[narrow fog]

Yes

[narrow fog]

No

You try re-installing?

[mighty terrace]

this helped

altho I ended up just using native + TAA since the ghosting is quite noticeable with the mod

using Alex's recommended settings from the DF video

[calm yarrow]

Have you tried turning autoexposure on? It should improve the ghosting
