Arknights + AK Endfield

[dusky wave]

so VK is easier

[sudden nest]

what does wuwa use on mobile

[dusky wave]

OGL + VK

[sudden nest]

but they use dx12 on pc

[dusky wave]

yes

[sudden nest]

cant they do the same

[dusky wave]

Mobile cant into DX

[sudden nest]

no i mean

ogl vk on mobile and dx12 on pc

[dusky wave]

Dunno, ask HyperGrypth that

I am guessing they dont want to bother with extrra work

[stable lava]

vulkan also supports raytracing natively

[sudden nest]

yeah, all these problems with shadows when you can just add rt shadows

[sudden nest]

last time i saw it wasnt even on the roadmap

for unity i mean

[stable lava]

well vulkan the api supports it
unity is another matter

[sudden nest]

yeah i know vk supports rt, HG had to make extra work for vk rt

just use dx12 🙁

[safe swallow]

fuck dx, vulkan to the masses

[dusky wave]

duality of man

be like

[sudden nest]

i agree, but reno doesnt work for vk

for now

[strong vault]

we are robbed

[sudden nest]

I have a feeling they are only talking about ps5

watch them do the same thing that happened on ZZZ

[stable lava]

ps5 doesn't have rt either for now

[sudden nest]

ik i mean in the future

[gloomy tulip]

Does iOS have RT

[sudden nest]

yep

[strong vault]

rt reflections

[gloomy tulip]

cope

[stable lava]

in some scenes only

[sudden nest]

I dont think they could do more anyway, mobileslop

[woeful raven]

everything is extra work

wuwa is also not UE4 RT

backported Lumenslop

[gloomy tulip]

RT reflections arent that important tbh, GI is most important but the fact is they have code for bvh already

[woeful raven]

that took a lot of work

[sudden nest]

that could have gone to ue5

[snow dust]

Getting these visual fragments when using lumenite RTAO/LSAO, what am I missing?

[dusky wave]

imma be real, the SSR is soo good in this game. yes still has SS limitations memes but the reflections dont look like grainy shit

[woeful raven]

facilitating an engine upgrade after a game goes live is almost impossible

[strong vault]

I dont think bypass works on new areas

[sudden nest]

one can only dream

[woeful raven]

infinity nikki only went from UE5

to UE 5.4

because they did that

[safe swallow]

play with those

[woeful raven]

before they went live

"hey maybe we should update the engine future proof it a bit"

[snow dust]

k tysm, do you have any recommendations on which hdr presets to use?

[dusky wave]

Wuling?

[woeful raven]

there are no presets

stock game is bright enough

if you want

slap on some contrast

[strong vault]

I run 55 contrast

rest default

[gloomy tulip]

Their unity upgrade is good I think

The pbr + non pbr look good

[dusky wave]

corrrrrrect

[gloomy tulip]

Hoyo slop all look the same with flat color

[woeful raven]

material work 10/10

[snow dust]

yup

[dusky wave]

Neither me or Spiwar are there yet. New shaders are being used

[woeful raven]

"what if we slap slop temu gtao in"

[woeful raven]

play using alternative version

check pins

[dusky wave]

Like bro

[snow dust]

doing that

[snow dust]

kk didn't know, thx!

[sudden nest]

WE need rtgi

HG please

[dusky wave]

I want RT but at the same time

FG no worky

with VK reshade

[strong vault]

just smoothmotionslop

[dusky wave]

LSFG sloppa time

[sudden nest]

120 fps is enough

[dusky wave]

You wont be getting 120 with RT

[sudden nest]

im getting 120 with dlaa

[dusky wave]

well maybe if you upscalemaxxx

[sudden nest]

so I could maybe with dlss quality

depends on the rt cost

as long as we dont get the wuwa treatment

[gloomy tulip]

What’s with wuwa rt

[dusky wave]

I have a 5090 and MFG 4x slopmaxx

so I dont have issues

oh and 9800X3D

everyone else dies

[sudden nest]

9800x3d isnt safe

i get bottlenecks with it

the city is super heavy

[dusky wave]

which is why you MFGslopmaxx

[sudden nest]

https://tenor.com/view/aww-hell-nahh-aww-hell-aww-hell-nahh-gif-9659330954843262630

[sudden nest]

super duper cpu heavy

[gloomy tulip]

Yeah I remember when I got to the city on water

The fps was so bad

[sudden nest]

in one area i get 90 fps, 40 in another

its bad

like every new map that gets added it gets worse

[dusky wave]

if they pull off a Metro Exodus then you will get 120 locked at DLSS Q on a 4080

[strong vault]

whats the % of that

[gloomy tulip]

Yeah wuwa kinda weird cause they need to have everything big and fancy always

I got tired of that pretty soon

[sudden nest]

man that games still looks and plays so well

[dusky wave]

slavjank can cook up one of the first RT only titles

and it runs fine

meanwhile we're stuck with SW lumen RT sloppa

that runs worse than raster

and looks worse to boot

[sudden nest]

chinese vs slav devs

[strong vault]

I dont even know why epic developed sw lumen

[safe swallow]

metro runs so well and looks gorgeous

[strong vault]

Is it because amd was shit at hw rt

[dusky wave]

conslows

[strong vault]

[gloomy tulip]

So that ps5 can run it

[sudden nest]

dw we have megalights now

[strong vault]

we will see in 2030 games hopefully

[sudden nest]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-gif-14922675818058709477

[gloomy tulip]

Tbh games nowadays don’t need billions of lights to look good

[sudden nest]

yeah but have you seen the comparison between sw lumen and megalights

[gloomy tulip]

But shadow casting ones would be good

[dusky wave]

not having shadowcasting pmo

every UE title I try and need to get Lazorr to fix

shadow casting disabled on every light source

light leak

[gloomy tulip]

Most RT solutions don’t trace lights except sun lights

Only seen in gta v

[dusky wave]

Think the fog gets a bit too much at times, I'll need to test out Pumbo's OKlab fog code for better blending

wait

fuk

Fog is packaged into the enviro shaders

and something something decomp was causing freezes

[dusky wave]

SDR

cooked

Vanilla fog / modified fog

[stuck sandal]

god damn

[dusky wave]

Might be a bad idea to modify

vanilla hides the chasm

modified exposes the mesh seems

[rustic echo]

Ya...but it's not horrible horrible... 9/10 wins for 1 lost?

[grim kiln]

i actually kinda like the modified look idk like its got more depth

[rustic echo]

Thanks spiwar, for reveil.fx 7yr later free patch~

as the mod grows the cost for perfection grows it seems

[dusky wave]

every new feature added delays VK addon

[grim kiln]

yea but then the vk addon launches feature complete so bonus

[rustic echo]

does VK not flip the depth like a drunken gambler? or same shaders either build?

i did notice it's shaders are kinda different

[dusky wave]

You'll want to ask Miru

I havent even looked at VK yet

[rustic echo]

when i was looking at the UI layers in VK version...it looks a lot less slap on like dx11

like UX flips around has per UI overlay, flickers around and other junk...VK...was one and done.

[dusky wave]

DX11 might be legacy 'we added it because users' version

and VK is their main API

dunno

VK allegedly doesnt have the mem leak

but then Miru posted his mem getting gobbled up as well on VK

[rustic echo]

I think there's a different ways leaking in endfield. Like I can get it to doodoo in 15mins in DX11, doing certain, non friendly reshade stuff. I can't do it in VK,

but whatever, the mod is almost done? it's pretty amazing at this point with some costly if not coop solution, it should please most people's eyes.

[dusky wave]

I fud up the hue preservation, it was causing posterzation

vanilla / modified

Will need to test in Wuling since that area has a lot of fog

I'll keep a copy of this code, since applying it requires me to figure out what the hell causes deferred shader freezes to happne

[dusky wave]

I'd say so, fog and AO are the only things I care about left

We might have in-game AO improvements SoonTM (cant say for certain yet)

and we have Miru's work

Fog I am experimenting with rn

Colour / HDR side, the mod is done

Then it remains to be seen how updates grief the addon

[rustic echo]

please update the shaders from his repo, specifically the include/colormanagement.fxh . It was a bug in his code that was fixed like 24hrs ago. It happens because Endfield does funky stuff when going into menu.

[safe swallow]

oh

but then why does it work fine with reno

[rustic echo]

So i tweak the settings of FGFX::LSPOIrr and Glamarye fast effects with fake GI
and layered them together(with a lot of settings tweaking)...It really does look like a poor man's RTGI...maybe 60% of it.

[rustic echo]

cause reno already forces everything into 1 color space thanks for forge?

[safe swallow]

fair enough

already, let's try that

nope, still the same thing

If I use the bypass with REST that's in the normal version, rtao throws this error, if I use the alt bypass, it's fine

[rustic echo]

clear shader cache?

it was a rest problem yes. you can also exclude that shader from REST, it also solves it

[safe swallow]

yeah but the entire point is to have ao there

[rustic echo]

I mean it's a very minor visual difference again, luminite should have fixed it, and I tested it with him. Try cleaning shader cache in reshade first

if not you can ask the shader author yourself, since he's aware of the problem. Maybe something we missed.

[safe swallow]

nope, still the same, oh well, alt bypass it is

[rustic echo]

how are you guys taking HDR pictures and having it able to convert to SDR?

[glacial kayak]

reshade and skiv can take hdr pngs for you

then you can just paste them into discord

[rustic echo]

reshade didn't, or i need a setting?

[covert jetty]

I use NVIDIA then convert the jxr to PNG with https://github.com/ledoge/jxr_to_png

But hopefully discord will get jxr support eventually

[runic dove]

reshade will take HDR pictures, its just that windows photo viewer doesnt support HDR PNG

[woeful raven]

can probably slop out

a tonemappass vk mod in like

an hour or three

but there's no motivation to atp

the memory leak is fine, set your system to like

96gb page file

you'll slowly leak

and just occasionally restart the game

[gloomy tulip]

Experimenting with more changes to their blur and upsampling shaders in worst case scenario, vanilla vs modified

The upsampling shader is just bad, it blurs over edges because it doesnt have depth buffer

[covert jetty]

10 push-ups every time the game crashes due to leak, buff in no time (depending on RAM)

[rustic echo]

what are you trying to upsample? i feel like there's a ton of shaders out there that have gotten their take on this with depth aware included

[gloomy tulip]

It's just the game's own upsampling shader which is a useless box blur

It doesnt have access to any other data like depth

[rustic echo]

oh, rip game prost processing game devs

[arctic echo]

I actually haven't had any issues with long sessions the past 2 days.

[rustic echo]

Vanilla, RTGI, Faking GI combo comparison ....this...is kinda coop-doable lol...look at the fps difference!

Sadly it can't fake the light bouncing test..RTGI still is the only one that can bounce lights

[naive ridge]

oh hey my buddy made that lol. we had the idea for it ages ago and found some research papers on fog/haze detection. Idea being that if you can dehaze the image, run effects on that, and then add the difference back in, you can get AO or w/e looking suitably behind volumetrics. Pretty neat, at least within the context of what reshade was capable of then.

surely just making a REST config is the better way to go now

[woeful raven]

it still ended up being useful here

as the deferred lighting pass includes fog

so even with REST bypass DOF and other post effects, fog can't be bypassed for now

[naive ridge]

RIP

[woeful raven]

unless there was some way to run reshade before code for fog triggers

[naive ridge]

the shader is pretty compelling for AO, but it's not a good pair with GI, just to put that out there

you could look at what the custom REST config for FFXIV does. It's setup to save normals/depth etc to textures and he's able to insert xegtao somewhere where it can use all of that

[left field]

he says: "Out of the box, no. But it is probably possible to setup, I foresee it being a huge pain though." This is from a person who makes an asset that's a custom implementation of DLSS for unity

[woeful raven]

where can i find that

[naive ridge]

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

[rustic echo]

dang, thanks

no easy win then

[naive ridge]

xegtao is also in there and it's under an MIT license

tbh I'm not super well versed in REST. I know voosh is though, if you wanted to ask him.

[rustic echo]

wait REST is not dead in 2026? I thought it's been abandoned after so long.

[gloomy tulip]

It works for dx11

[tidal finch]

Can someone do a quick write-up of what to do to have the best image quality in Endfield?
I see lots of AO add-ons like the RenoDX-based one or Reshade shaders.
Which one is the best if I play with 1440p DLAA?
And are there any graphical settings best to tune down?

[rustic echo]

ummm the problem is...it's not finalized yet, and right now it's a lot of bandaid solutions depending on taste, and fps and of course monitor.

but realistically you can literally copy someone's reshade.ini and shader folder, and get the same-ish results in the future.

And realistically you don't turn any settings down...Endfield in it's base form can get max graphics settings on even low end cards, much less high end DLAA users.

I mean i personally think a few light fx gets some mighty impressive results for a little fps lost;
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1440801914165002322/1466324496654012519/6.png?ex=697c549a&is=697b031a&hm=b2d1a986ef97b9c5167a680bb2eef02f9ffef5cc9a8a872fbeb2c6471947f476&

but some people will be more purist.

[grizzled herald]

Wait. Was grass botched all this time and we just assumed it was the way the game looked? haha.

Indeed. Character model looks less shaded now though.

[woeful raven]

less shaded probably because you were coming from a really old build

this fix only affected the grass

[woeful raven]

read the pins

[spiral imp]

depeer down the rabbit hole you go

[woeful raven]

No

I'm actually playing the game now

[spiral imp]

enjoying it at least?

[woeful raven]

Yes

[spiral imp]

still using reveil for the fog stuff ?

it brightens the grass

[rustic echo]

well it takes tweaking a bit, after all it's not perfect, and neither is AO on top of it..sooo

took a bit of time for me to start visualize what should be "fog" in the debug view

but it does clean it up quite a bit everywhere you have that "reshade AO" look

[spiral imp]

it's very minimal so I don't mind it

just something I noticed turning it on and off

[rustic echo]

ya even with the spiwar compatiblity patch of reviel...it still messes with the hightlights a bit, but much less, and settings are much more pronounce in how much depth to mask out your shaders...I would go fairly deep in th negative to test. The debug view is good to peak at

[gloomy tulip]

Hmm I implemented xeGTAO's denoiser, things are actually more stable when moving (still image still sucks because of bad upsampling)

Ghosting reduced too

Thanks to their bad denosier implementation, i got 2 passes of denoising instead of 1 pass in total

[rustic echo]

can you incease the fidelity of the denoiser or that's the limit of what you can do without actual motion data?

your last sample...even without moving the camera had temporal stablity issues, it's just quite finicky

[gloomy tulip]

The limiting factor - bad upsampler shader that causes bad flicker and half res for blurry AO and shimmering

[brittle abyss]

@woeful raven doesn't Reveil.fx do dome color clamping ? Even when there is no fog, grass seem to desaturate quite a bit when it's on.

[rustic echo]

man this HDR... why are games that don't have HDR sometimes the best HDR looking games...those devs...really missed step this "one trick"

these scenes are gorgeous

[stable lava]

the VFX are great too

very bright very cool

[arctic echo]

Cope that they'll add HDR later. And then it's worse than what we have

[twin haven]

anyone have perfect black RenoDX they can share? just wanna compare

[strong vault]

what is perfect black renodx?

[rustic echo]

I think the preset already floors the black levels

am i missing something?

[twin haven]

nothing really, it's the matter of contrasty crushed blacks

[twin haven]

nvm the game is missing AO that's why it looks washed out in daylight

[rustic echo]

yep and that's the bulk of the ongoing work right now

at least we got some decently cope AO now, RTAO/LSAO is really no joke in how good it looks

[twin haven]

i commend them, doing the works of the devs themselves are supposed to do

[rustic echo]

you can also try the FGFX::LSPOIrr and Glamarye fast effects with fake GI combo I slapped on

it's not quite GI, but it's sure can trick the brain into thinking you got GI, until you look closely at things

[twin haven]

i just drop them at reshade-effects no?

tbh never tried installing things other than those

just renodx and reshade

[rustic echo]

umm i tweaked it a bit as both of them are a bit too strong combined, and you need to set your white point (basically yor reno in game brightness) into the setting

[brittle abyss]

My recommendation for contrast but no crush would be :
Contrast 55
Highlight 48
Shadows 83
And I personally like saturation 53

[rustic echo]

I did something like this

[rustic echo]

this is a comparison made between the effects vs a GI solution like marty. As you can see by the roll of cable area, vanilla is pretty flat without repect for the lighting, where RTGI actually tries to properly illuminate it, while the fakery just kinda masks it a bit to make it look like it blends in

[gloomy tulip]

Here is vanilla denoiser vs xegtao denoiser

I set the AO to really contrasting to show them

[rustic echo]

it really does bring back the highlights

that's pretty nice

how is the artifacting/stablity of the shadows?

[delicate escarp]

Hey guys, quick question: Is it possible to use some effects in Reshade while also using Renodx HDR? Thanks!

[gloomy tulip]

For some grasses they are just blurry by default, dunno what is going with that. As long as you dont set the AO super contrasting, it's passable

[rustic echo]

blurry is acceptable, flickering/crawling/boiling effects are...really stuff that'll make you pull your hair our

[gloomy tulip]

Yeah the crawling artifacts come with them too, I think maybe those grasses don't actually write to depth or something

Maybe I will try to generate vertex normal in place, because gbuffer normal is funky

[rustic echo]

you can do that in unity? i thought those are determined pre packaged?

[gloomy tulip]

I can generate the normal inplace with depth information

[rustic echo]

looking forward to it then, finally someway to beat the resolution issue

[twin haven]

damn RenoDX is just waiting for him

[twin haven]

will look into this later but this looks good!

[grizzled herald]

New NVIDIA drivers. Any chance they fix VRAM leak?

Oh they are from 2 days ago so probably not.

[twin haven]

isn't it because of dx11? or same thing happens with vk?

[gloomy tulip]

Sadly nothing really improves

[grizzled herald]

I've only played on DX11 for now, so probably on devs end.

Now trying to force shader compilation again... Not working haha.

Was this always like this by default? (Sorry for the off topic though)

[gloomy tulip]

This is new denoiser build for VK

[gloomy tulip]

This is my recommended setting, don't recommend changing radius and use large step count because horizon based AO could over occlude with huge samples

[delicate escarp]

you're great 😘

[spiral imp]

it seems to add these vertical lines

in that picture

[rustic echo]

so you need step count of about 14 to match RTAO ish, and then it flickers like mad in motion

though the flickering is pervasive regardless ya...

endfield...why you do this..

[gloomy tulip]

I couldnt reproduce it anymore tbh

[rustic echo]

lowering the thickness to .20 significantly lowers flicker...at least to an extent your brain won't fixate on it

this allows you to up the step to like 14

i would say...umm passable...maybe, just from grass

[gloomy tulip]

14 step count will over occlude alot in my testing

[rustic echo]

so take the flicker...hmm

[gloomy tulip]

At least I dont hate it anymore, cope

[rustic echo]

you gain roughly 10-15% more fps not using LSAO...soo

hmm significantly better stablity in TAAU mode

[gloomy tulip]

Those AOs are brute force screen space tracing so yeah.. fps be gone

[rustic echo]

let me try different DLSS

if it's a DLSS issue...

it's a DLSS issue ish

i am guessing motion vectors?

or not passing it along to DLSS

[strong vault]

Forge said DLSS had borked mvs

[rustic echo]

DLAA has flickering

[strong vault]

so possible

[rustic echo]

so TAAU is very clean (ish)

[gloomy tulip]

Maybe TAAU is using a different jittering pattern than DLSS

[rustic echo]

TAAU can clean up all but the craziest step count

i pumped thickness upto 2.5

still pretty stable

let me try a different DLSS preset

ya...it's a predominately a DLSS problem

i wonder if your friend, previously mentioned, has an idea on wtf motion vector is borked. because that's a super weird problem to have, DLSS isn't 1.0 anymore

[dusky wave]

@woeful raven I think I got working hlsl for deferred now

https://tenor.com/view/dawg-gif-9809482320226184314

games not freezing and lighting looks the same

Time to add alt fog and maybe cope we can inject AO before fog

[rustic echo]

^, Just play on TAAU seems to be the answer to Endfield haha. Miru's AO is pretty darn good (only in TAAU resolution)

[dusky wave]

I could port Miru's now i thinl

[gloomy tulip]

I abandoned the idea of gamma'ing the AO in deferred now, its all just modding the GTAO shaders

[rustic echo]

but yea...it really sucks for TAAU to be the one true recommendation, but moding is about having the gear haha

I hope it's just something borked in the MV being passed to streamline

[dusky wave]

when compiled into the build of the addon its freezes

[gloomy tulip]

I wonder if I can upgraed r8_unorm to rg16f to store depth in the half res AO

Then I can do better upsampling

[rustic echo]

hmm besides motion vectors does unity have mipbias or other things that DLSS needs to upscaled correctly? Maybe it's not seeing your AO at the right resolution?

[fleet socket]

unsure if this is related to the memory leaks on windows, but on linux one user reported that the games spawns a bunch of CEF processes without ever closing them, which could be a potential source of leaking

[rustic echo]

you mean chrome api?

[dusky wave]

Storefront be leaking

News letter menu leaking the game

[rustic echo]

red dots kills lives

but that sounds blockable no? all you lose is umm...filling out serveys?

[fleet socket]

it does seem like the game uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework)

[fluid patio]

I can't hide the ping and uid, is it currently broken?

[rustic echo]

my uid is hidden as of the last pinned release

[strong vault]

Its working with 4K only for now

[fluid patio]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that

Thanks for the response~

[strong vault]

np

[grizzled herald]

Oh my, I can't believe we were playing with that broken grass shading all this time. Such a big improvement. haha.

[dusky wave]

totally not my fault

[arctic echo]

Most of the popups use CEF. News/notices, gacha details and history. Game is playable without them, but those few buttons will just not do anything, and you might forget why lol

[dusky wave]

Vanilla / Alt fog

[arctic echo]

Day 1 I forgot I had renamed ProcessFramework.exePlatformProcess.exe trying random stuff to see if SpecialK would work.

[fleet socket]

someone should do some testing first too before just disabling it altogether. it might not be (one of) the source of leaking

[rustic echo]

is the fog volumetic?

[dusky wave]

nope

[arctic echo]

I mentioned earlier, but I don't seem to have leak issues anymore for some reason. So I can't really test. But just renaming ProcessFrameworkPlatformProcess should prevent it from spawning CEF processes

[rustic echo]

table flip, why the heck is it so foggy if it's not volumetic!!!

[woeful raven]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsay-finally-food-meme-gif-25605149

[dusky wave]

ah hlsl still fucked

I had to load as .cso

[woeful raven]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-dead-died-gif-13827091

[dusky wave]

after modifying .asm

[dusky wave]

its doing a basic linear fog blend

so it washes out hues

which I restored

[rustic echo]

good riddance. I understand if it's volumetric fog, which has all sorts of lighting purposes and fun stuff...but just plain old fog ick. mobile/console cop outs.

[woeful raven]

Ao is always half your internal resolution whether you're using taau or dlss

[rustic echo]

can you do a MSAA on the AO shadows or something then?

[dusky wave]

oh yh, the colours are also limited to 0-255 range. You can see it in the second screenshot

the gradients are wack

its like the fog has a greenish hue at times instead of a smooth cyan gradient

I will see if I can modify that

[woeful raven]

But have you modified your factory to a productive state

[dusky wave]

I dont have sandleaf becasue you get it in a later ares

but we';ve been too busying modding

so I havent gotten to that area yet

shader bypass before fog is impossible chief

shaders execute atomically

and we cant pause midway

we could do is split the shader

and I am trying to figure out if Reno even supports adding new shader passes (probably not)

[woeful raven]

What info is used for fog

We save it and apply at a later pass™

[dusky wave]

Thats what I am looking into

we disable fog entirely on deferred and apply it later on

[woeful raven]

#1440801914165002322 message

How does Rest™ do it

[dusky wave]

FFXIV has separate fog though

I will look into all the normal/depth

I think we could also grab lit and fog colour

and mod the shader to only apply on lit

[woeful raven]

[dusky wave]

is there a free loicense fog shader?

we can use

I can take existing game data

feed that to reshade fog

we apply reshade ao > reshade fog (with game data)

might look better than vanilla linear blend slop

and since we feed it game data it wont just be the same static fog look across the whole game

[woeful raven]

Maybe @naive ridge will know

Or voosh

[naive ridge]

Not sure. As far as reshade goes, I know Treym had a good looking fog shader

Doubt that’s licensed in a friendly way though

[dusky wave]

yh I know that one

I could ask him since I am in his server

[gloomy tulip]

Did you guys write your own reshade fx shader

Since REST integration needs your own fx

[tidal finch]

I mean, I have 9800X3D and 4070Ti so I'm going all-in with 1440p@120fps

[gloomy tulip]

This is like the only thing I did in reshade fx ngl

[tidal finch]

Very helpful, thank you my friend
Big Pin W

[woeful raven]

Scrolling is difficult

[median robin]

Wait was it broken since the start?

[woeful raven]

No

Broken after a ghost switched to any size upgrade

[median robin]

Right

Typical ghost behavior

[tidal finch]

Even bigger Pin W

The question remains:
Am I supposed to just throw in that shader, or use that RenoDX-based AO?

[woeful raven]

There is no renodx based ao

[tidal finch]

What's this then

[rustic echo]

@tidal finch shader order is something like this ^

[gloomy tulip]

Thats renodx (vulkan) sdr AO mod

[rustic echo]

for LSAO/RTAO you will need to config it yourself. but if you don't want to play with it, just insert your reno game brightness into the AO shader white brightness field and set the strength to .45 -> .65 taste wise

[woeful raven]

.45 or .4 is probably enough

Lsao is better but more costly

[rustic echo]

I'm afraid Reviel is a bit more customized setting.

[rustic echo]

I found the key is mostly nailing the brightness setting in the settings...without it matching the AO mask goes wild.

[woeful raven]

you'll need to use a higher AO strength

if you're using reveil

[tidal finch]

huh, SDR only?

[woeful raven]

to compensate

[woeful raven]

renodx is used to replace shaders

renodx by itself does not equal hdr

[gloomy tulip]

Vulkan has SDR only for now

[rustic echo]

Forge did want to put that into the main build, TAAU players rejoice i guess

[dusky wave]

[tidal finch]

Thanks!
I'll play around with it

[arctic echo]

Who on Talos-II invented nukes

[glacial kayak]

Endmin

[tidal finch]

Did you finish this implementation?
The reflections look quite nice

[woeful raven]

its just changing the reflectance value

[rustic echo]

Lore accurate according to Rossi. Didn't you know the Endministrator single handily destroyed Talos-V in their prime. Cannon summons were just child toys back then.

[woeful raven]

SSR fade in out would look even more obvious

[rustic echo]

did the SSR test ever pan out? like making mirror like reflections turn roads into water slides and stuff?

[dusky wave]

it kinda janky

it makes Dijon look nice

but then roads get turned into mirrors

So I am on the fence about including it

I cant target to only apply to Dijon

[woeful raven]

ya

Just leave it out

[rustic echo]

yea, proper material roughness property work went into Laevatain facial expressions as she looks at you in disgust.

@dusky wave while we're at it might need to consider dealing with the cloud

Since we changed the cloud shadow intensity when you're in top down building mode in the factory the cloud shadows will show defined blocks instead of a smooth fade

[rustic echo]

really? i never noticed it, but then in factory mode, all you see is a bunch of grids anyway

[woeful raven]

Turn on top down factory and improved shadows

Wait for some clouds to go over

Some of them will have a very obvious vertical cutoff line

[rustic echo]

either i'm blind, or I lack the spare brain capacity to bother do field engineering and notice shadows at the same time.

[woeful raven]

its not in all clouds but when u see it you can't unsee it

[dusky wave]

Cloud shadows are a separate settings from what I can tell, probably just need to decrease hardness and maybe add some sort of blur

[woeful raven]

Yeah

And then wait for the secret sauce 4096 shadow res increase

[dusky wave]

GTAO with full res, better MVs and bent normals

• Miru's code

[rustic echo]

oh speaking of improved shadows they seem to produce a fair bit of flickering on thin objects on native

[woeful raven]

https://tenor.com/view/yum-gif-18243592

[dusky wave]

We've tested 4096 shadow res increase, it improves upon the flickering

[woeful raven]

Causes other issues

But thats for later

[rustic echo]

also if you actually look at making another alt-renod version, is it possible to exclude the UI from the menu and splash screens? if not, no biggie

[woeful raven]

Wdym

[rustic echo]

reshade effects that are not pure depthbuffer will try to apply to those areas. And it seems i can't use the normal REST addon when reno is in action.

Minor annoyance, as it's just a fuzzed up menu or a weird looking splash screen, etc.

[strong vault]

I am curious what other issues higher res shadows could have

[woeful raven]

Shadow filtering stuff

[dusky wave]

the amount of slop needed to have deferred working

instead of just having one .hlsl per shader

Fog code is in now

I will fix up cloud shadows

also added chromatic aberration slider

[waxen delta]

is there a vk build yet? or is that not on the cards?

[woeful raven]

until vk has some meaningful difference

like rt

no

[waxen delta]

got it, that's what I assumed

[timid marten]

Damn the mem leak is crazy

[woeful raven]

increase your page file, restart the game every 1-2h

[timid marten]

Man, 15 min in and vram and ram already full lol

I’ll try with the page file, thanks

[tidal finch]

Does this game even support VK?

or is it just unofficial?

Also, why no DX12 support for Reno?

[strong vault]

There is no DX12 for this game thats why

Also VK is the main API

[woeful raven]

ya bro weird question

[waxen delta]

the default renderer is vk

[woeful raven]

have you actually launched the game once lol

[tidal finch]

huh

wait it's VK?

[strong vault]

[tidal finch]

I thought it's DX12 and DX11 as fallback

[waxen delta]

most are but Endfield wanted to be freaky

[tidal finch]

First gacha I see with native VK support tbh

• not on mobile

[waxen delta]

I wouldn't be surprised if hoyo uses vk if they ever upgrade beyond DX11 since they already use it on mobile

[tidal finch]

They are playing around with DX12

so probably they'll just use that

[waxen delta]

yeah, you can launch Zenless in DX12 now with RT and DLSS support but Genshin is an entirely different beast from the other two with a different version of Unity so who knows?

[unkempt pulsar]

gpu drivers updated and no shader compilation step after

sus

YEAP it's stuttering out the ass wtf

[glacial kayak]

switch to vulkan and then switch back to dx11

should force the shader comp after

[unkempt pulsar]

oh sweet, thank you!

the clipping in the main menu alone, oh god

hey vulkan is actually running quite fine for me now

it was completely unplayable with the previous driver

[woeful raven]

what clipping

main menu is SDR btw

other than the one light effect at the start

there is no HDR values to be extracted

[unkempt pulsar]

i do mean the light effect

gonna play using vulkan this evening to compare performance and memory leaks

super glad to see vulkan running well (and even better than DX11) now, was kinda worried with how reno development has shifted to Vulkan now

[glacial kayak]

vulkan and dx11 were both borked for me when i first installed it, but i switched to the tim sweeney version and then they both stabilized for some reason

[unkempt pulsar]

huh interesting

yeah i've not tested vulkan again in the meantime, it's possible one of those updates they shipped already fixed it and it wasn't actually the nvidia driver

[brittle abyss]

Does that mean we're going to get fog bypass ?

[dusky wave]

nope

I have only modified existing fog with a toggle betwee vanilla and alt

fog bypass is a PITA

[brittle abyss]

PITA ?

[dusky wave]

1. Need to split deferred lighting shader into multiple passes (Reno cant do this, would require Luma rewrite)

2. Completely disable vanilla fog in the 4 deferred shaders for Valley IV + do the same to Wuling. Then apply Reshade AO and try to come up with some solution for reshade based fog that takes data from game code (dunno how well this will work, might completely bork visual intent)

3. Port Miru's code into DX11 for GTAO, since that's modifying vanilla AO and applies before fog

[dusky wave]

pain in the ass

[brittle abyss]

Ho. Thanks😅

[strong vault]

Wait second one would be insane but not in a good way. Wouldnt that be hard for you to maintain?

[dusky wave]

theyre all going to be PITA to maintain

Rather cope that HG fixes / improves AO

so I dont have to mess with allat

[strong vault]

[dusky wave]

we have a update tomo

or server maintainces whatever it is

inb4 shader change

Didnt see anything about DoF in the patch notes

vanilla / alt

Improves interiors I think

lower black floor a bit so you dont have this grey haze

Can't target interiors specifically unfortunately

[strong vault]

Yeah looks good on those screenshots

[royal yoke]

the visuals look pretty good now

i luv it

[grizzled herald]

Nothing about mem leaks as well.

[grizzled herald]

What are we looking at here? 😅

[dusky wave]

alt fog

I'll post a build soon

you will be able to test yourself

alt fog will be less of a grey haze

it will mantain hues from the scene

[grizzled herald]

Nice. Will it depend on an external shader though or you guys can take others effects and apply them to RenoDX if their license allow it?

[brittle abyss]

That's the fog blending thing you talked about earlier ? Who did you say came up with this one ?

[dusky wave]

Pumbo has OKlab blend code that he shared with us and was implemented into Cronos.

I tried it but it messed up with this games code

I took a similar approach but changed it

so it works with this Endfield's fog

[dusky wave]

This is modifying existing code, doesnt need any reshade shaders. Toggle is included

I managed to get the deferred shaders working

[brittle abyss]

Well, it definitely looks sexy in those screenshots !

[woeful raven]

So what if we save the info from that pass

[brittle abyss]

To be honest, reveil works pretty well with fog, but I don't like how it desaturates stuff. I have to slap it together with a bit of vibrance slop on common shortcut key to compensate when there's fog.

[grizzled herald]

Awesome. Had no idea RenoDX could dive so much into a game. I'm loving this RenoDX+ approach haha.

[woeful raven]

And apply the fog in another pass

[dusky wave]

• Added alt fog blend mode with hue preservation
• Fixed 'Improved Shadows' cloud shadows in Valley IV hub area, they will now be softer with better diffused look
• Added chromatic aberration slider

(This version has grass shading bug fix included as well)

Now to rebase and sent PR off to Spiwar

[grizzled herald]

And as long as we have ReShade Before UI off we can use upscaling, right?

[dusky wave]

with this version yh

[woeful raven]

Was dis after rebasing

[dusky wave]

No

It doesn't have the hue change code you did

[woeful raven]

I'll merge and post two builds

oh wait

no pr yet

i guess u can rebase and create build

[dusky wave]

give me a sec

[timid marten]

So this is the latest version for dx11 right? Does it work with dlss? Asking cause you’re talking about two builds

[median robin]

both versions are dx11 and work with DLSS (upscaling) if not using AO. Spiwars version supports AO with upscaling, Forge's supports AO only with native or TAAU. The VK mod is only AO for SDR. Should be more info in the pins

[timid marten]

Thanks bud!

One more thing, what’s with this?

[tidal finch]

Creative Commons W

[timid marten]

Can’t deny that

[strong vault]

This is because of AO right

[tidal finch]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1006968635086098442.png?size=160

[dusky wave]

yes

caused by slop base game AO

@woeful raven sent

[fleet socket]

rip. was going to try out miru's vk build, but on linux proton you have to override vulkan-1.dll to get reshade vk working, which ACE seems to block

[dusky wave]

oof

Us moving over to VK will mean no addon for Mary

[fleet socket]

😔

im sure someone will have figured out something by then thankfully

doubt im the only linux user here lol

[dusky wave]

Geezers, let me know about all the new addtions

if they work or dont ect

with that I am now off to actually play the game

My addon shift is over for today

[brittle abyss]

Yes, you definitely earned your REST...

[spiral imp]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-south-park-gif-27464879

so like, if I use TAAU at 60%

I need spiwars version right

[woeful raven]

yes

**Rebased version with color changes **
@dusky wave's changes:
Added alt fog blend mode with hue preservation
Fixed 'Improved Shadows' cloud shadows in Valley IV hub area, they will now be softer with better diffused look
Added chromatic aberration slider

Why there are two versions:
normal version with reshade bypass done earlier in pipeline. Use this version if you plan to play in native resolution. AO will apply before DoF and many post effects, resulting in less artifacts.
alternative version with reshade bypass done in uberpost. Use this version if you plan to use upscaling. AO will apply just before UI.

from someone who's already formatted all this stuff

[frosty current]

has anyone seen this bug before on the floor (spoilered because Wuling)

[woeful raven]

we minecrafting on this one 🔥

[frosty current]

seems to be a texture stremaing issue

if i stay still for a bit longer it goes back to normal

[dusky wave]

Reno issue or base game?

[frosty current]

base game it seems like as it happened before too

[dusky wave]

So I just got to power plateau

Needs new shader bypasses

And fog code

And there looks to be an even bigger additional deferred lighting shader + environment+ foliage

[woeful raven]

meanwhile uberpost bypassloppers

[dusky wave]

6MB

even worse than github

You'll have downscalemaxx the image

I dunno how to do so

@naive ridge

You managed to get some 1080p screenshots of Litcher 3

website image limitations are a PITA for HDR

[woeful raven]

"i should downsize the image"

[dusky wave]

when HDR avg size for pics is 30MB

[woeful raven]

u could get smaller probably

but reshade png no compressy

[dusky wave]

You need to remove grain

[dusky wave]

because that adds extra size

[dusky wave]

another way to do it is lower exposure

Banding is atrocious on this gif but you get the point

[naive ridge]

I think the image host did it for me

[woeful raven]

lmao

slop website

[rustic echo]

@dusky wave you forgot to say you should set the brightness field in RTAO to match your reno in game brightness. It's kinda important for the AO mask range to be detected.

though i think default of 203 works for...a large amount of monitors

[dusky wave]

lemme add

[woeful raven]

whats ur uid dawg

collecting uids now since im actually playing

https://tenor.com/view/thanks-infinity-gauntlet-power-thanos-gif-15000377

[dusky wave]

I am getting fren request spams

I dont even know if its users from here or randoms

[woeful raven]

mostly randos prob

im getting some spam as well

[spiral imp]

filling up the friends list is beneficial

[woeful raven]

I maintain a pinned uid list on my other server

[dusky wave]

whilst looking at this I discovered

Why Endmin so cute

[woeful raven]

oh

btw

you can run the skin mods

alongside reno

in DX11

[copper stump]

is it true she doesn't apparently wear a bra

[grim kiln]

yea wtf edmin is a total waifu

[dusky wave]

only the dudemin

[grim kiln]

so quick question if i use upscaling with it set to nativeAA/DLSS do i use the alt version or the regular one?

[dusky wave]

if you dont vare about reshade you can use either

[spiral imp]

our penguin is so cute

[woeful raven]

this game insistence on using pre-rendered cutscenes even for non complicated sequences is

abysmal

[rustic echo]

they kinda have less and less of that, probably early development shortcuts

but ya...artifacts are so prominent on high resolution.

[elder sentinel]

hey guys! just joined and just installed the addon. it already makes the game look so much better! cant wait to see how it develops further! keep up the amazing work!!!

[serene bridge]

got RTGI to unclamp with UI bypass using REST, but the tone map clamping thing is wonky and messes up the colors a bit compared to using no REST

[twin haven]

welcome to renodx

[delicate escarp]

they're great

[idle notch]

yooo thanks for the mod guys
just noticed that it adds HDR into character's eyes too!!
they look so gorgeous now 🥹

wait did the image actually come through as HDR on discord? 👀
i forgot to convert it using SKIV

[woeful raven]

yes

reshade PNGs are automatically HDR

[idle notch]

thats dope :D

loving the mod more and more the more places i revisit holy shit
please dont mind some images in the upcoming days 💀

[woeful raven]

post in #🖼️gallery and then forward it here

[twin haven]

how do you screenshot hdr?

with reshade?

[idle notch]

Yea
If you open the reshade menu the shortcut key for screenshot and screenshot location would be there in the Settings tab

[rustic echo]

ya reshade screenshot never managed to SDR for me...so ummm stuff

[royal yoke]

😋

[idle notch]

gois
ther might be a problem
the sun is doing some goofy stuff specifically in Science park infra station

[strong vault]

I wonder if new update broke it

I will try it out soon

[arctic echo]

Nothing wrong there. That's just how the Talos sun looks /s

[strong vault]

looks fine to me

[idle notch]

🇸🇺🇸

let me reset my reshade settings

[twin haven]

can you try Preset #2 maybe a setting fucked your up

try it first before resetting your current sett

[idle notch]

nahhh something is definitely up 💀

[rich acorn]

Endfield crash after injecting 3DMigoto with RenoDX but work fine using one of them

[twin haven]

fuck it reinstlal reshade

also reshade.ini

if you want ofc

or maybe that's the default sun behavior?

[idle notch]

alr restarting the game fixed it (also deleted the config file so it might have been just that)

[royal solar]

show preset?

[copper stump]

the black level floor is doggy tasty, can we have the setting or that's default?

mighty pweasee

[idle notch]

also
the power plateau sky is still WIP right?

[rustic echo]

So after miru's AO tests...I looked into DLSS a bit...and

It's a render scale problem

I think it has to do with SSR, or some other post process

[strong vault]

iirc spiwar said it takes half of your input resolution

[rustic echo]

it just isn't being affected by DLSS/TAAU or anything that should normally be processed

[rustic echo]

even at potato resolutions DLSS can resolve these things, or even TAAU...but here it doesn't

[strong vault]

Thats not the only problem

Motion vectors were bad and miru also said bad supsampler shader or something like that

[rustic echo]

on the weird side, after playing around... the dx11 renodx shader...is loading into vulkan fine...

the shaders are all messed up...but it's loading and working

[gloomy tulip]

Resource upgrade works in vulkan, I just tested yeah

I used this in my test build to store more stuff for upsampling

[idle notch]

wuling is so beautiful in HDR i cant 😭

[spiral imp]

very hazy areas really suffer with the ao

[strong vault]

think it like a feature

[royal solar]

RTAO glitching on very far away grasses?

[dusky wave]

Might have missed these pick up notes UI shader, I will take a look

[dusky wave]

We don't have a way to render before fog with reshade

[unkempt pulsar]

just booted up the game on my tv for the first time and omg

reno does make the game look nicer on my monitor's shitty ips panel, but this is a whole different level

[tidal finch]

Don't use HDR on an IPS panel lol

[unkempt pulsar]

why? it's got shite contrast but overall still looks a lot nicer than sdr

panel's got decent P3 coverage and brightness

[dusky wave]

Musa plugged us with the max channel Termite and we've now moved over to Shortfuse's Neutwo tonemapper

its booooutiful

sheesh @woeful raven ranking in those numbers

[unkempt pulsar]

would it be possible to hide the little reception icon left of the ping number as well? it's the only element left on screen during cutscenes

[dusky wave]

Yh, I will take a look since someone mentioned it as well on github

and it also displays as you mentioned during cutscenes

I'll try to see if I can come up with some way to get it to also work on other resolutions

because for wuwa Spiwar had to manually add in the ratios per resolution and thats annoying

[rustic echo]

I did a manual REST on it, a lot of those UI share with other UI elements that can break, so I understand why now only the combat HUD is excluded

[rustic echo]

you should try ReVeil as well to help with it

I found ReVeil needs to be set pretty strong in Endfield

[unkempt pulsar]

thank you

[rustic echo]

@dusky wave you did some investigation into DLSS and endfield? You have any idea why DLSS seems to bork on post processes due to resolutions downscaling?

[dusky wave]

and we on the front page now atleast

[dusky wave]

something something MVs are borked specifically when using DLSS/DLAA that casues DoF for example to ghost severly

The pixelated DoF I didnt track down the exact source of the problem

[arctic echo]

And that's your cue to fix the areas where bypass breaks right?

[dusky wave]

Spiwar added** BETA** to bypass

so its all good

I can jsut say its a beta feature

[rustic echo]

hmm...it's likely also the issue I see SSR artifacts in anything but native TAAU around the ship, etc. and likely why miru's AO also borks unless native

[dusky wave]

^

[strong vault]

Forge alt fog doesnt work on wuling btw

[dusky wave]

yes, area has new deferred lighting shaders

I am not there yet

apologies

[strong vault]

All good just wanted to let you know

[median robin]

The alt fog looks real nice btw

[dusky wave]

we're coping that we can find access and/or improve this whole situation somehow

[median robin]

Very pleasing to my eyes

[dusky wave]

stops the anti soul gas look so many games have

I will need to rework it since its currently 8bit limited 0-255

and I saw banding in dense fog areas

[rustic echo]

that's a job for devs....lol sadly this isn't UE, where the tricks to bad DLSS implimentations are known and fixed the moment they are spotted.

[strong vault]

I am kinda glad its not UE

[dusky wave]

ZAMMMM

we front front now

[strong vault]

[woeful raven]

Contrast 55 Highlights 55 Saturation 55

[woeful raven]

Also i looked at the ping icon a while ago

[brittle abyss]

You're trolling

[woeful raven]

Its shared with other UI elements so if we do a hide mod it will leave a gaping hole in the bottom left corner

Unless theres a smarter way to do it

[woeful raven]

Thats all you need

[dusky wave]

This isnt Wuwa

or hoyoslop

a bit of contrast and you're good

[strong vault]

I liked how 55 highlights look ingame but it is blinding me at this screen

[woeful raven]

Uh thats a u problem

That screen is just ui

[brittle abyss]

You think your joking, but I'm actually using contrast 55. Though my shadows and highlights are at 83 and 48 respectively to compensate.

[strong vault]

UI slider doesnt control that

It gets affected by game and highlights too

[woeful raven]

@grok confirm this

[median robin]

I just put contrast and saturation to like 53 I think. Was subtle enough for me

[dusky wave]

its 0xEF07F89A.ps_5_0

we can just target the very bottom?

[woeful raven]

If u open other UI stuff

Like the controller switch prompt

Does it leave a hole

[dusky wave]

ah fukl

it has vignette

yh

rip

the vignette of the UI is built into the same pass

what if I try and find the texture

[woeful raven]

Maybe it could work idk

[dusky wave]

We have the UI atlas

[woeful raven]

But if we can do texture replacement why would we even need the gooner 3dmigoto

Renodx can just do gooner skinmods

[dusky wave]

I am blind

I cant find the bar

[woeful raven]

Cant see it

[dusky wave]

it was flipped and inverted

[woeful raven]

Instead of removing the ping indicator

We replace it with this

[jagged gyro]

highlights 83 damn. bro is searing his retinas

[elder sentinel]

will the most recent addon updates always be here pinned?

[spiral imp]

Always has been

[brittle abyss]

Shadows 83

My highlights are 48😅

It's to rebalance my contrast 55.

[jagged gyro]

oh oops i misread that my bad lmao

[dusky wave]

SDR / Reno + all rendering settings

Reno exposes that the distant mountain meshes have seems and holes

suffering from success

[frosty current]

6950xt

[brittle abyss]

he... I see one hole. It's not so bad. New fog really looks great By the way. It helps the Reveil.fx presentation funnily enough. Fog being less hazy grey, reveil steals noticeably less saturation when trying to put it in front of AO again.

compensatory vibrance has gone from 0.075 to 0.035.

much better

[elder sentinel]

do i rename this so it doesn't overwrite other addon?

[gloomy tulip]

There is no HDR addon for vulkan yet so the other one could break the game in vulkan

But you can rename it yeah

[covert jetty]

Gaping hole preferable to searing my UID into my monitor

[woeful raven]

use a reasonable ui brightness

[median robin]

Replacing it with the face is off the table?

[elder sentinel]

is there an istalll tutorial for this somewhere.....srry i am dumb and cant figure it out

[gloomy tulip]

Install vulkan reshade addon version with reshade installer, then just drop the addon to Endfield_Game folder

[gloomy tulip]

The UID stuff can be detected by heuristic but somehow the login screen text (when its still like unpacking resource and stuff) got detected as UI but after loading into the game it seems fine

In this screen the "Announcement" text got hidden somehow XD

forgive the horrible code and the shader hashes are vulkan

Did you check character menus?

Problem I faced is that the latency bar is part in the same texture atlas as a bunch of other stuff

They apply a UI vignette

So removing the latency bar makes a hole

[gloomy tulip]

Team comp menu or characters?

[dusky wave]

Characters

[gloomy tulip]

It's just cpu code based, not touching the shaders at all

[dusky wave]

What about the latency bar?

Bottom left

[gloomy tulip]

The 3 bars?

[dusky wave]

Yh

We have toggles the other two

But people want one for the bars

[gloomy tulip]

I can try to remove them and see

[dusky wave]

Nice

Me and Spiwar ran into issues

[safe swallow]

Might just be rdna2 exclusive issue

[elder sentinel]

oh thank you....i had forgot i had dx version reshade installed

[gloomy tulip]

I think the initial resource loading screen is not same device
