No Man's Sky

[steady dagger]

Enable HDR in-game (any setting, doesn't matter).
If you get a black screen, restart the game. it'll eventually work.

Doesn't work with framegen (vanilla problem but also a reshade problem so I can't fix it)

Nexus Mods

About Vanilla HDR
SDR with custom LUTs and magic numbers to make it brighter, all happening after rendering + UI so UI gets mega bright too

Reserved

[brazen root]

👀

[steady dagger]

Progress is happening

As far as I know at this point it's basically just a matter of building the addon and grading

[brazen root]

this might get me to purchase no man's sky

[steady dagger]

this game does fuck ass shit

every time the game needed to be 0-1 they saw an uncharted2 shaped hole

with a white clip value of 1

Hopefully will get a build up tonight

[rigid fox]

daaaaamn

might finally get to play this game then

[steady dagger]

• first test build

Native HDR1000 mode vs RenoDX

[night jetty]

is vanilla just sdr in an hdr container

[steady dagger]

just edited the main message lol. They have some LUTs that do some sort of ITM on the SDR, and they do it on the UI too

[night jetty]

ah ok i see

oof

[steady dagger]

this game is weird as hell, they do uncharted 2 like 5 different times

and it clips at 1 so there's no point

[night jetty]

its agx

[steady dagger]

using your extended uncharted 2 here (though this shot has some highlight boost cause...well, they don't have a ton of highlights on account of the horrible tonemapping setup)

[night jetty]

do they use sdr luts after tm

[steady dagger]

so they tonemap early on in post processing, do things, then when they get to grading, they tonemap again (again, W is just 1 here), then they invert that, do more things, tonemap again near the end

they also seemingly forgot a gamma decode and did some weird curves instead of just gamma decode??

right after LUTs

[night jetty]

[steady dagger]

I've never seen anything like this

I think sean murray adds a new uncharted2 tonemap with each expansion they drop

his little way of keeping track

aw dang it, it was looking so good without per channel memes, but the jetpack is pink without it

there are still some things that are clipping in here that I need to find

reminding me of what you saw in dying light 1 @night jetty lol

[night jetty]

ya

i had to unclamp the material shaders

get to clicking draw until you find the right shader

[steady dagger]

I think it might be getting limited by r32_typeless

oh wait maybe I'm just getting misled by draw toggling

[night jetty]

ya

[steady dagger]

some of these materials seem to still be 8 bit so maybe it's just that simple

[steady dagger]

Vanilla HDR vs RenoDX

[brazen root]

"vanilla HDR" and yet it's literally just SDR 😭

[steady dagger]

I technically lied, forgot to unload shaders

Vanilla HDR vs RenoDX

now it's bright SDR

hoping I can figure out the materials thing tomorrow

• upgrade r11g11b10_float and fix resulting nans (that I know of)
• change defaults

uhhhh in case that build is black screening?

[orchid hornet]

Holy crap you actually did it

Decided against trying renovk ig?

[steady dagger]

it is using ritsu's renovk stuff

[orchid hornet]

oh really? cool

doesn't that make this like one of the first renovk mods?

is anyone else using it yet?

[steady dagger]

uhhhhh idk

I mean technically the bloodborne mod

[orchid hornet]

that doesn't count that wasn't it just a templete thing wasn't it

not a working mod

[steady dagger]

afaik it's working, ritsu just didn't care to maintain it

[orchid hornet]

oh lol

is it any different than dx i haven't looked at it

[steady dagger]

in what sense?

UI stuff is all the same. There are a lot of differences when making the mods, but it also works similarly in terms of the broad strokes

[orchid hornet]

oh okay yeah that's what i meant

I thought it'd be a pain in the ass to use or something cause i haven't seen anyone use it yet, i figured some people had vulkan games on deck to mod lol

it's funny how renodx is just a brand name at this point even though there's a vulkan version people still call it renodx

[steady dagger]

it's still largely the same as renodx tbf

[rigid fox]

The comparisons look great, native is cooked lmao

Good shit Jon

[woven atlas]

The luts are also plaintext files that you can edit

Hopefully we get a way to do framegen soon

[steady dagger]

• add Vanilla SDR and Vanilla HDR options in tone mapping selection, faithfully presenting both
• add hue clip slider (idk maybe somebody wants this, defaults to 0)
• add color grading slider
• UI polish

[rigid fox]

🇺 🇮 🇵🇱

[steady dagger]

Other than figuring out the materials, mod is probably done

gonna mark as playable

[orchid hornet]

until a few hours from now

💀

[steady dagger]

so it goes

[rigid fox]

Don’t let me find candles

[slate current]

hmu once u put it on the page

some people i know would like to have it

[steady dagger]

I'll have to get posted to nexus since it needs to live in its own branch

playing around with different dechroma options right now though

[steady dagger]

• remove per channel blowout and hue shift
• replace blowout slider code with CastleCSF Naka Rushton etc etc
• default blowout slider to 40
• reduce debug level, may help with cpu performance (didn't realize it was turned up)

[steady dagger]

Never linked the reshade buld people have to use with this before

[orchid hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-just-a-matter-of-time-doctor-cardosa-marco-pigossi-gen-v-it's-gonna-happen-either-way-gif-16153807130615846716

These mod releases just keep appearing like it’s magic

[steady dagger]

wow the ITM in this game does disgusting things to hues

oh wait it looks like I did something wrong when adding back the vanilla HDR option

[steady dagger]

• fix vanilla HDR implementation

Vanilla SDR vs Vanilla HDR600 vs RenoDX

[rigid fox]

damn

reno looks great

[steady dagger]

this blowout code is what I want to try in the witcher

I think it'll interact well with hue correction

[rigid fox]

W3 is probably by far the most time you’ve put in a mod right

[steady dagger]

for sure

endlessly trying to squeeze more quality out of it

[rigid fox]

[steady dagger]

tbf, a lot of it is that the witcher is where I'm learning things

[rigid fox]

For that game it’s worth it though ong

[steady dagger]

so I can spend dozens of hours experimenting there and then go do another mod in a fraction of the time

[rigid fox]

Makes sense

[steady dagger]

Vanilla SDR vs Vanilla HDR600 vs RenoDX

[rigid fox]

vanilla hdr really is just RTX HDR isnt it

[steady dagger]

just ITM and not very good ITM. Unironically would be better to disable and run some other inverse tone mapping

[rigid fox]

lmao

[steady dagger]

runs on the UI too

[rigid fox]

yeah looks cooked af

aww hell nah

[steady dagger]

only defense I've got for them is they were very early adopters of HDR

sucks that they never updated it with all the other tech changes

[rigid fox]

slapping on ITM isnt really adopting hdr in my book

[steady dagger]

agreed, but it's what a lot of the first implementations did. Honestly Idk if it's even ITM, it kinda just looks like straight up brighter SDR.

[rigid fox]

[steady dagger]

easy enough to confirm that, it's not just brighter SDR

oh whoops found another bug

• fix behavior of brightness sliders when vanilla sdr and vanilla hdr are selected

[slate current]

oh right @steady dagger

on nms

hdr400 peaks at 2100 nits

hdr 600 peaks at 525 or so

and hdr1000 peaks at 400

lmao

[steady dagger]

Yeah. Though 600 seemed to be around 600 for me lol.

[slate current]

oh right$

525 nits

misswrote

[steady dagger]

• add SDR support

[steady dagger]

• SDR polish

not sure the material fix can happen right now. It's a two fold problem: the shader has an ass load of manual clamps, and also it's an 8 bpc resource type on a common aspect ratio that should not get sweeping upgrades for performance reasons.

and if I replace this particular shader the game crashes

so, some problems need to be figured out

[narrow vessel]

Cant wait to test out the mod but havent been able to get Reshade working on Linux with this game. If anyone is able to would appreciate letting me know!

[narrow vessel]

Testing the GOG version on Windows and am getting this error when trying to launch: 156355_0x10C9968_GX.
Addon installed in the game folder. Custom RenoVK reshade installed and loading when addon not present. Uneducated guess is that it is using different shaders....

[crimson root]

Send log

[crimson root]

@steady dagger r11g11b10 upgrades crash on AMD. You can use rgb9e5 instead (only for AMD)

[steady dagger]

Latest builds don't have upgrades (there wasn't much WCG to recover so it didn't really matter)

[narrow vessel]

Another log making sure it is from the latest build

[crimson root]

Just confirming, you replaced Reshade64.dll in 'C:\ProgramData\ReShade\ReShade64.dll'?

Not seeing any errors in the log

[steady dagger]

oh right I never put proper instructions in this post

[narrow vessel]

Yep can confirm I did that. Used the default current reshade with addon installer, then manually replaced the ReShade64 with your latest one

Ill just repeat to make sure

Yea it is successfully showing Reshade 6.7.1 Unofficial when I launch without the add-on

I'm just going to reinstall the game to make sure I have done nothing funky

[narrow vessel]

Yea same issue with a fresh install

[narrow vessel]

UPDATE: I've installed the first build on this thread and seems to be working

Yea the first test build is the only one that is working but it is working on the GOG version so potentially an AMD issue? My hardware is RX 9070 and 5700X3D.

[steady dagger]

That’s so weird….

[narrow vessel]

Dont know if this helps but on Linux with the latest version it will launch but I get mostly black screens or this....

Original version works just fine same as windows

[brazen root]

ey, if I had no man's sky I'd test it on linux too

[steady dagger]

this is potentially a known issue. Try booting again

I havne't seen it look like that specifically though

[narrow vessel]

Tried booting around 10 times in a row and same results

Luckily I am very happy with the first build haha

[steady dagger]

I have some ideas we can try, but it'll have to wait until another time

[slate current]

@steady dagger how do you install the vulkan reshade on nms ?

[steady dagger]

Install ReShade with Addon Support to No Man's Sky, selecting Vulkan. No shaders are necessary, just download the ones the installer requires. Skip the addon section and complete the install process.
Download the mod package. Press Winkey + R. Copy and paste the following path into the window, then run: C:\ProgramData\ReShade
Copy the ReShade64.dll from the mod package and paste it into the folder from Step 2, overwriting the file. This is a custom ReShade dll that's needed for the mod.
Go to the game's install location and copy paste the renodx-nomanssky.addon64 file there.
If playing in SDR, you're done. If playing in HDR, select any of the HDR modes in-game, they'll all behave the same.

Copy paste from unpublished nexus page lol

I’ll hopefully get it finished and put up today/tonight

[steady dagger]

@narrow vessel give this a go and upload the log when it breaks

[narrow vessel]

Yea same issue with this build as before

[steady dagger]

that's expected, I just enabled all the logging features

@crimson root this tell you anything?

[narrow vessel]

This was on Linux through Proton (where it is actually booting). When I get home shortly I'll also upload the Log from Windows in case it is a bit different

[crimson root]

No errors. Make sure your drivers and game are updated

[orchid hornet]

ts ain't workin

[orchid hornet]

you said step 2 but there's no steps you just meant the game directory right?

[steady dagger]

Oh copy paste removed the ordered list….

Yeah

Normal install other than the programdata thing

[orchid hornet]

my dll hasn't been updated since the 18th is that normal?

idek what this dll is for

[steady dagger]

Reahade64.dll goes into that programdata folder. Just how reshade works with Vulkan.

[orchid hornet]

Oh i thought you were telling me to copy the one from program data to the game directory

oh ig the "mod package" must mean the reshade.dll from renovk

[steady dagger]

I shouldn’t have copy pasted that

Confusing

Added simple instructions that anybody in this server can work with.

[orchid hornet]

this build right? or was this a test thing

[steady dagger]

Test thing

[steady dagger]

This one

[orchid hornet]

idk i can't even test if it works

for some reason the game just isn't working alone

everything is white regardless of save

For some reason nvidia dlss override was causing everything to be white

some random guy on reddit had edited his downvoted post and that was the how i found out

looks good though took long enough lol

when it actually runs that is

[steady dagger]

So weird, I think I’m doing this

I’m so bothered by some of these clamped materials 😭

[orchid hornet]

I can't even get it to go past black screen without turning nvidia override to use 3d app settings

maybe it's just random i can't it past black screen at all anymore

Idek yeah it's just random af

it's running fine now with recommended settings for override

until i launch it again

Specifically i had the game on DLAA and the DLSS override was set for ultra performance that was what caused the white screen any other issues are just random

[narrow vessel]

Might be silly but maybe try using the first version posted. I can't get the newer versions to work on my setup but the first release from Jon works just fine.

[steady dagger]

Yeah the black screen at boot is random. Seems roughly 50/50 for me.

[steady dagger]

@narrow vessel can you test this one?

No need to post a log

[narrow vessel]

I would love too

Yea still the same issue

I'll boot up windows too just test it out on there

[steady dagger]

alright, let me try something else

did you test the other builds on windows as well?

[narrow vessel]

The logging build?

[steady dagger]

any of them

[narrow vessel]

Oh yea every one to start off with. That is were I found that only the first one worked.

The difference is that on Windows it does not even boot into the game, just shows that error message.

On Linux it gets into game but black screens/does the weird black and white thing.

[steady dagger]

oh right, forgot about that. If you're using gog galaxy, try without the overlay maybe

[narrow vessel]

Yea I am just launching straight from the exe itself so no overlays. Actually Ill disable any AMD driver ones and test that

This is the log from me launching the logging build on Windows in case that helps

[steady dagger]

idk why this would make a difference but try this

[steady dagger]

not seeing anything in here that jumps out at me

[narrow vessel]

Sadly still no...

Disabled the AMD overlay too but no difference

[steady dagger]

alright. It was the only thing that really made sense to me between the first and second build I posted

hmmm I guess I can try this....

okay here

[narrow vessel]

Nope....

[steady dagger]

this build doesn't contain anything that changed from the first build to the second now...

it has stuff from builds after that still though

[narrow vessel]

Was there anything that changed in RenoVK that you pulled in between the first and second build?

[steady dagger]

no

I don't think so anyway

[steady dagger]

just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, this is the second build I'm referring to

[narrow vessel]

Yep

[steady dagger]

okay gonna try something else

this is feeling like an AMD specific issue

[narrow vessel]

Yea still no...

[steady dagger]

• fix bug with AMD hardware?

[narrow vessel]

Fling it at me

We might be in business

[steady dagger]

👀

[narrow vessel]

Yep looks like we are in.

Let me just make sure it is the correct one

[steady dagger]

nice, idk why that worked

[narrow vessel]

Yep definately this one

[steady dagger]

@crimson root Idk this for a fact but it seems like renodx::mods::shader::use_pipeline_layout_cloning = true; causes issues on AMD?

luckily the game doesn't need it, was just already on in the addon

I don't think I had this off in that first build either though 🤷

maybe I added a shader as well that triggered the problem

[narrow vessel]

You are a legend for fixing it thank you so much. Game now is stunning.

Some random other bugs that I have noticed during testing just for other peoples FYI:

• XeSS with this addon seems to crash the game immediately. FSR 2.0 works for non-Nvidia users
• No AA or FXAA does not seem to become HDR. Need TAA or an upscaler

[steady dagger]

oh, lemme look into that AA situation

doubt I can do anything about xess though

xess also crashes for me

may see the issue with xess actually, sent the info to ritsu

seems like it could be complex to deal with, though maybe it could just become a flag that can be set

[narrow vessel]

I lied it is only FXAA that seems to be clamping

[steady dagger]

what the absolute fuck is this video game

they use ACES with no AA/FXAA and they use uncharted2 with a clamp before it if you use taa/dlss

[brazen root]

indie game moment

[steady dagger]

this is SDR vs HDR technically but just trust that this is the difference you see in SDR when you switch between no aa and dlss

analysis shader broke from having the reshade menu open, don't worry about that

it's also got goofy gamut expansion

so a real SDR shot would be clipping all that

[steady dagger]

• fix mod with AA off and FXAA
• add simple/advanced menu modes

[steady dagger]

wait did the update today break it 😭

literally all the shaders changed

[runic agate]

i wanted to try the new update

[steady dagger]

workin on fixing it

nothing is actually different in these shaders, not sure what caused them to be new permutations...

on the bright side, seems safe to literally just copy paste the entire shader over

[steady dagger]

• fix for Remnant update

@runic agate

[runic agate]

Sweet excited to try after work

[steady dagger]

huh, turns out sometimes the LUTs in this game are obscenely raised

[steady dagger]

nexus page up https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/4061

@slate current

[slate current]

Pog

[steady dagger]

• add missing grading and hud effect shaders

[quick flame]

looks great using it rn thank you jon da boss

[tame wadi]

I wonder if it'd be worth it to contact them or something?

Especially if they are doing things that are so fundamentally broken

[steady dagger]

Maybe? Idk how they’d arrive at the code they have if it wasn’t an art driven thing (other than the clipped tonemap for lut sampling, that’s cursed).

And because they already clip earlier that’s not really a critically bad thing in context.

For a 2016 game it’s not that abnormal I think unfortunately.

By far the weirder thing is that they use aces specifically if AA is off….

[tame wadi]

The reason I'm saying this is because when you look at their changelogs between updates, they are upgrading parts of their graphics pipeline sort of "often", so who knows

[steady dagger]

Which has to be an oversight from experimenting with tonemapping

[tame wadi]

Wtf

[steady dagger]

Yeah, wild stuff

[tame wadi]

That definitely sounds like HDR was that one engineer playground task, and he forgot to remove some stuff lol

[steady dagger]

Here

Their HDR is the same as SDR, just some custom lut garbage at output to ITM.

On UI as well

Unironically worse than using autohdr or RTX hdr

Maybe I should try reaching out though. The existence of aces means they’re open to it I guess

[tame wadi]

Would the Display Commander addon work in Vulkan?

[steady dagger]

Uhhh I think pmnox might have removed Vulkan support cause buggy? Or maybe it’s just not getting much attention.

Ritsu is working on getting framegen working with reshade in Vulkan though, and when that happens I’ll get HDR working with framegen.

[tame wadi]

King shit

[steady dagger]

Ritsu putting in a ton of work for the 3 games on Vulkan worth modding

[crimson root]

[tame wadi]

The game is really shining without that dingy ITM crap, nice

[tame wadi]

Anybody ever found a solution for the GPU underutilization in the game? My 5070 Ti sits at 80~fps with DLSS Balanced, but the GPU utilization is at like 55-60%, and I remember similar issues in the past

[quick flame]

what worked on my 4090 is i tried reflex off, and also in nvidia control panel vulkan preset method, prefer dxgi swapchain

works somewhat okay for me now, gotta test more but it feels way better

[tame wadi]

Wow, that was Reflex being enabled indeed

The hell

The present method does not seem to change much whether it's t he default or forcing DXGI, though

[quick flame]

yea this game is just weird xd i was legit getting 40 fps after a few hours of having the game on, on a 4090 xD it was sitting at 30% usage

[tame wadi]

The game also really does not like Nvidia's frame limiter

I get stuck at 58fps when I set it to 116fps for my 120Hz TV

[quick flame]

i also noticed FG is not usable when HDR is on

[tame wadi]

Yeah this is known when using this mod, for now

[steady dagger]

You know, when I said I’d get it working I forgot that framegen doesn’t work with our swapchain upgrade which I’d need to do for framegen to be toggleable in game

So unless DLSS fix can work with this game, it’s a situation.

[crimson root]

Yes dear

[rigid fox]

[steady dagger]

Lmfao

[errant nexus]

game just fails to launch for me on startup

not sure whats wrong

my log if needed

[steady dagger]

Doesn’t work with xess

[errant nexus]

Ah gotcha thanks makes sense

[errant nexus]

yep that was for sure it sadge fsr2 and taa are ass xess is the best with fsr4 not working on vulkan

[steady dagger]

Haven’t tested but updating xess DLLs might work?

[errant nexus]

hmm worth a try i'll try that after work

[narrow vessel]

I'd recommend using Optiscaler to replace XeSS with FSR 3.1. Found it gave me the best image quality and performance balance on AMD. (Also updating the XeSS dll didnt work for me but ymmv)

[errant nexus]

I thought of that to depends if that would break Reno other games it doesn't but vulkan is horky borky sometimes

If amd would get their thumbs out of their asses and just makes fsr 4 work on vulkan it would be a non issue

Hell we barely even have any of the tech redstone promised can't even be bothered to fix cp2077 crashing with patch tracing that a mod fixed Ive always supported AMD but damn if they haven't dropped the ball time and time again

[errant nexus]

yea optiscalar with dlss as inputs with dlss works just fine

[tame wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/draco-malfoy-harry-potter-mewing-mew-slytherin-gif-8263298459687914233

Extra based

[errant nexus]

Optiscalar's latest pre release now makes amd look absolutely stupid as it enables fsr4 on vulkan

[runic agate]

does it work with any gpu? or only RDNA4

[errant nexus]

Just rdna4 but there has been ports rdna3 and lower I believe idk how any of that works though

[quick flame]

@steady dagger this random NMS update broke reno :D

[steady dagger]

This fuckin game

[rigid fox]

[steady dagger]

• fix for feb 27 2026 update

@quick flame

if this is gonna be how this shit works every other time they update the game, I make no promises on the long term support of this mod

actuallly just like 30 min to an hour of time each time this happens

[quick flame]

yea i have no clue what they changed i just got fully flash banged after the update

i’ll check it out once i’m home but thank you it fking sucks without the mod tbh

[steady dagger]

ritsu had a good theory which is that they probably update the slang compiler often. The shaders are functionally identical, they just compile slightly differently therefore different hashes

updating the mod is just finding the new shader and copy pasting the entire old shader into the new one 🤷

but the process of finding, dumping, decompiling, editing the shader, and doing the little bit of addon.cpp work required is annoying

not hard just takes some time

might have to see if I can get AI to quickly slap together a script to do it for me tbh

[wise acorn]

hi.. broke again?

[steady dagger]

[steady dagger]

Was there an update today?

[steady dagger]

Devastating

Gotta update the mod so ritsu still has a test game

[orchid hornet]

think of it as a vacation from crimson desert

[rigid fox]

[steady dagger]

Gonna find out if mcp bridge can do it for me

[steady dagger]

I'll get this mod working again sometime tomorrow

gonna just update again a week after so you should do trackmania instead

https://tenor.com/view/saul-goodman-better-call-saul-breaking-bead-walter-white-gif-6174761702766811539

[steady dagger]

really should do trackmania before someone starts making it a part of their personality to hate all of renodx because I haven't updated it. Would be weird if someone went and did that.

[orchid hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-frown-avengers-iron-man-angry-gif-9012115220211022981

no surely that's not a thing that would happen

[narrow walrus]

hello! Im new to this community an HDR in general.. just to be sure, this mod isn't working with the new update right? I think i installed it right but it looks weird..

[steady dagger]

Supposedly it broke yeah. They keep putting out small patches as well and since almost every patch breaks it, I’m gonna give it a little bit to fix it.

[rugged plume]

When you fix it I’ll probably set Steam to offline so I can enjoy it without a patch breaking it

[steady dagger]

• fix for latest update

this likely needs updated reshade as well!

I linked to it in the pinned message

restructured the mod and implemented the new shaders using AI with the MCP bridge. Got the notes written out for AI in the future so now when future updates break it it won't be a pain in the ass to fix.

[wise acorn]

needs custom reshade??? thx

ok i read pinned thank you for the release

[rugged plume]

Oh that sounds awesome! Is this code available to learn from it?

Do you have like an MCP that can read the shaders?

[steady dagger]

On my GitHub in the nomanssky branch

I’ll be updating this mod again maybe today as well, this game would work really well with psycho I think.

[rugged plume]

updated reshade crashes my no man's sky, I informed Ritsu

[rugged plume]

Sadly the github doesn’t contain the MCP config (I wanted to understand how the AI can read/compare/update the shaders from the game)

[steady dagger]

ah, mcp bridge is a component of renodx that shortfuse added. All I did to "configure" it for the game was after fixing the game with it, have it write notes for future reference

those notes are here https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx/blob/nomanssky/src/games/nomanssky/notes.md

it examines the game through the renodx devkit

[rugged plume]

that’s awesome!

shader updates (finding new hash) seems like a perfect task for AI

[steady dagger]

yeah it's great at it

if AI can do anything well it's find patterns

using it to update the mod also showed me a better way to maintain this

[rugged plume]

I tried the renodx mod with the official ReShade (6.7.3) and it seems to work on first glance

[steady dagger]

like sliders work and everything?

[crimson root]

Sliders work with official reshade (except emulators)

[steady dagger]

oh, so I guess we'll just use that then

what doesn't work?

[crimson root]

Resource upgrades

[steady dagger]

alright cool, I feel like I remember resource upgrades not working anyway really

[crimson root]

They do, I specifically tested with NMS

You needed swapchain proxy and it wasn't working at the time

[steady dagger]

ahhhh alright

oh now that I can mcp bridge this, I should try fixing that material clamp again

[steady dagger]

please for the love of god

seems fine

couldn't test in HDR though

[rugged plume]

My No Man's Sky is still offline, but the last patch contained important bugfixes

Did anyone test the RenoDX mod if HDR still works fine in newest patch? So I can decide between updating the game or not

[rugged plume]

HDR seems to work in No Man's Sky 6.33

I dont know to get reshade to work on cachyos linux ngl, any tips or ideas

[steady dagger]

Tbh idk either. Over in HDR Den there’s a dedicated Linux channel, surely someone there knows.

[rugged plume]

Doesn’t it work just the same as in windows? At least for directx injection I guess. The vulkan injection is different since it installs a vulkan layer which works in windows via registry, not sure how that works in linux

Since wine also has a registry maybe the vulkan layers work via registry as well. But then you’d need to execute the reshade setup in the same wine prefix as the (steam?) game

[steady dagger]

I know wine has an emulated windows folder structure thing going on, so if you were to use the reshade installer, the file would be in that emulated windows environment in ProgramData

[rugged plume]

Yeah it’s two parts. The registry entry points vulkan to that ProgramData folder

So both need to exist in the same wine prefix

[rugged plume]

Try running the reshade (with addons) installer via the same wine (aka proton) prefix as the game

[tall raven]

weird enough, i tried, normal reshade 6.7.3 with addon, it detected vulkan instantly, i boot the game and nothng, so i deleted all files and tried with the included custom installed from nexus (6.7.1) still nothing.

i was able to get the pop up window to show with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;vulkan=n,b;vulkan-1=n,b" PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%
but the colors were all over the place, even with hdr disabled in game so im just lost

[rugged plume]

(all with addon active) vanilla sdr tone mapper vs vanilla hdr tone mapper vs neutwo (with more or less default settings)

This was while a poison storm was active

Oh happens even without the storm

I’ve reset everything to default (apart from peak brightness)

plant in full SDR without addon (although scene changed to nighttime)

Seems to be caused by the "Color Grading"-Slider. Only setting it to 0 removes all visual artifacts

We’ve learned that upgradetonemap has issues when LUTs are raised, and iirc that’s what I’m using here (and the game has some super raised LUTs). I’ll have to change methods.

I appreciate the thorough testing!

[orchid hornet]

Damn yall got a new method now? I never got to learn the last one lol

[night jetty]

no more upgradetonemap

use maxch sampling

[steady dagger]

yeah that's the plan

for everything going forward lol

Hello! When I used the latest reno module in this game, everything ran smoothly in most cases. But when I arrived at the Extreme Cold Planet, the freezing effect on the screen had a strange flickering of light and dark. Is this a known problem? Are there any solutions?

[steady dagger]

Hmmmmm I’ll have to look

[steady dagger]

• improved LUT upgrades

[steady dagger]

see if this fixes the problem

[sudden sapphire]

thanks！i ll see it later

[wise acorn]

the games runs correct without the mod.. anyone have this problem on windows? thanks

[steady dagger]

Someone on nexus said it was crashing for them too

[wise acorn]

🙁

[steady dagger]

are you using renovk reshade?

[wise acorn]

yes.. i put on bin folder too?

i try fresh install this night again

[steady dagger]

yes, binaries folder

have to use the installer, can't just drop in a dll

(you probably know this but I just want to cover bases)

[wise acorn]

same... error whith only reshade setup

put the dll now but i think the problem is reshade installer

where is renovk in discord too?

[steady dagger]

https://discord.com/channels/1408098019194310818/1454963368870809786

newer setup or dll might work (you'd have to drop the dll into the appropriate folder, iirc it's in program files)

works for me though, so idk what the problem would be

oh apparently official reshade nightly is getting support now

[wise acorn]

aha...

link???

same error with or without reshade 64 on bin folder

[steady dagger]

reshade64 doesn't go in the bin folder

vulkan install loads the DLL from C:\ProgramData\ReShade

[wise acorn]

ah ok

[steady dagger]

actually I can't remember if I used the dll from the setup file on my system, one sec

[wise acorn]

overwriting the existing one

well time to work for me.. i continue this night

can you put reshade nightly links?

thanks

[steady dagger]

sure

[steady dagger]

works for me 🤷

@wise acorn what GPU do you have?

maybe it's an AMD issue

[wise acorn]

4080 super

[steady dagger]

ah, idk then

I'll link nightly

https://nightly.link/crosire/reshade/workflows/build/main?preview

[wise acorn]

when i fress install reshade overwrite the reshade64 with the discord one? right?

on programdata/reshade

[steady dagger]

yeah

[wise acorn]

Ok

[wise acorn]

fixed with the nightly one

and copy the reshader dll from nightly link to program data now works

thanks @steady dagger

[sudden sapphire]

it seems like this problem hasnt been resolved

[shy rover]

reshade64.dll is casuing my game not to start at all, no matter what reshade installer i use. put it the correct place too. game runs fine without it, reno looks great in this game

[steady dagger]

Did you try the nightly linked above?

[shy rover]

Yup

tried that DLL file with both reshades and crashed at start up every single time

[steady dagger]

Oh right there was a commit in reshade that would have caused that…

[shy rover]

Ive put reshape setup in the binaries and the dll file doesn't crash the game anymore

[woven atlas]

Any update on the possibility of framegen or is it still a non starter?

[crimson root]

non starter

[woven atlas]

getting flickering on the environmental effects

[steady dagger]

guess this will need another update

sean cannot be stopped

[wise acorn]

sean is jesucrist xDDD

[urban rock]

Same 😉

[slate current]

send him a dm to integrate it into their engine

will help for their next game too

like personal dm

not hello game kinda shit

[manic whale]

ngl they seem like the kind of dev that would actually consider it
