Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[fresh smelt]

"what type of game should we make and what mechanics"
"yes"

[modern bronze]

I hear you bro. Tbf my problem isn’t common. Most people are having trouble finding work rn

[worn ibex]

Witcher 3 dlc pls come soon and mog this game 🙏

[crude marsh]

I wonder if the moon has a texture or if its supposed to be a perfect white circle

[modern bronze]

The economy is bad despite what the “experts” and the US government keeps saying.

[mortal wolf]

probably clips in SDR, so not their problem (unless this is SDR)

[worn ibex]

I haven’t been laid off but I saw my company’s financials and I’m kinda spooked so I’ve been looking around

[crude marsh]

oops wrong screenshot

this is the hdr capture

[worn ibex]

Im in Canada though, still not good economically but a bit different than the us

[modern bronze]

Layoffs at least in tech seem more common when companies are doing well than when they’re not.

[ocean onyx]

i have at least until 2028 confirmed employed

[mortal wolf]

somebody punched a hole in the simulation

[faint bobcat]

they use a disk

one for sun and one for moon

but they look about the same

[modern bronze]

The sky looks like a fancy cocktail and is making me want a drink

[green gulch]

this game is big like i kid you not

and no handholding

ur basically on ur own

[modern bronze]

The map is at least twice as big as Skyrim apparently

[fresh smelt]

damn i just unlocked breath of the wild mode

[crude marsh]

SDR/HDR moon

[green gulch]

im not doing quests im just overwhelmed with everything

[crude marsh]

why the moon max nits

[vivid iris]

Vanilla | PsychoV-11

[modern bronze]

SDR looks like you’re depressed and on LSD at the same time.

[modern bronze]

Do you not play a lot of AAA RPGs?

[mortal wolf]

what values?

[clever spindle]

massive improvement

[final imp]

Was waiting to see this lol

[crude marsh]

can actually see the rocks

[clever spindle]

Need to start making FUCK ACES t-shirts

who wants to buy it?

[modern bronze]

Who wants to see texture details when you can short circuit your brain with a flashbang of colors?

[barren pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-and-take-my-money-money-futurama-gif-6882124657810317443

[mortal wolf]

not even colors, just white

colorists love white

[modern bronze]

That’s what makes it a flashbang. The more white there is on the screen the more the other colors look crazy next to it

[clever spindle]

classy

[modern bronze]

Racist I say

[clever spindle]

it's like, if u desaturate, then you are classy

otherwise, trashy!

[clever spindle]

there's some NaNs on some guy on the left

[vivid iris]

ah good catch

[clever spindle]

ACES 2 managed to be overly crushed and overly "exposed" at the same time

[mortal wolf]

are you doing something to get the hues the same, or just bt709 in => out?

[clever spindle]

it's a unique achievment

no detail in shadow, and no detail in highlights.

[worn ibex]

Why do you call it psycho v 11

[vivid iris]

just bt709 in out, at least for now

I think it looks good

so far anyway

[clever spindle]

he just came out of the asylum

[worn ibex]

@clever spindle are you involved in Control revenant or did you leave alr

[vivid iris]

psychovisual tone mapping that shortfuse made, and it's the 11th "test"

[mortal wolf]

technically less range than acesv2

[clever spindle]

i am not working with RMD atm.

[vivid iris]

I think most of this is CA

[worn ibex]

Hopefully the severance was good 🫡

[clever spindle]

what severance

[worn ibex]

Oh did you leave?

[barren pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/severance-dance-neon-disco-mark-gif-25234887

this one

[clever spindle]

S02

[worn ibex]

Time to wait 4 years for s3

[clever spindle]

yes

i am freelance

[mortal wolf]

pumbo is still plugged in. he doesn't know it. his brain keeps sending him signals that he's still tapped in

[clever spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/lance-gif-9757897965486005415

[worn ibex]

Can you give use scoops on max Payne?

[clever spindle]

i can tell u it exists

[mortal wolf]

pumbo wakes up in cold sweats muttering AgX

[faint bobcat]

this game is max pain

[worn ibex]

It’s ok

I applied to EA

[clever spindle]

i am excited for it

[worn ibex]

If I get hired I’ll push them for HDR

[clever spindle]

what position

[faint bobcat]

ceo

[lucid shoal]

Remotely I'm assuming?

[worn ibex]

Just a grunt dev, but I don’t have any fucking game dev experience so I’m deffo not getting hired. Don’t think they want a guy who’s entire experience is typescript, node and GO

[modern bronze]

Who owns Max Payne right now? Is it still rockstar?

[clever spindle]

not sure how being freelance withouyt remote would work 😄

[worn ibex]

I should’ve moved to Google when I had the chance…

[clever spindle]

loads of travel

[ruby crown]

I noticed the blueish shadows and the dark green grass at the start in the night in the woods had a ton of bt2020 in them, I wonder how that panned out lol

[barren pasture]

so he can send emails to colorists "pls fix hdr, thx"

[clever spindle]

yes

[faint bobcat]

no need

[modern bronze]

They don’t need real programmers anymore, just people who are good at talking to AI.

[faint bobcat]

DLSS 5 will fix

[lucid shoal]

I've a cousin that does and because of it has to travel a lot

[faint bobcat]

@crude marsh is actually over

[ocean onyx]

just look at how dlss 5 generated this game from scratch 🔥

[faint bobcat]

with shortufse decomp

[worthy kernel]

rockstar is publishing the MP remakes from Remedy

[worn ibex]

Acc I forgot that EA got bought by the Saudis and Jared kushner

[faint bobcat]

I now found 13 sources of shimmer in shadowmaps

[clever spindle]

i couldn't bother

i'd prefer to starve probably

[worn ibex]

Acc are there any game devs in Canada atm

[modern bronze]

I started vibe coding recently and Codex (ChatGPT) is fucking insane in VS Code. I didn’t even need to make my own VM, codex did it for me.

[lucid shoal]

I can understand that because it wouldn't be for me either

[ocean onyx]

can codex fuck my wife though

[crude marsh]

13 sources of shimmer???

[modern bronze]

It even modified the iso to create a local admin profile so I could skip Microsoft account registration

[vivid iris]

@ocean onyx you can't keep getting away with this https://old.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1rz2f2l/found_this_ai_painting/

[crude marsh]

my vibe reverse engineering is not going well

[worthy kernel]

[modern bronze]

If you get one of those smart vibrators that you can control via app then yes

[ocean onyx]

https://klipy.com/gifs/pondering-the-orb

[jade spruce]

Can codex be my wife?

[faint bobcat]

all around me are familiar faces

[ocean onyx]

me prophesizing that they are actually ai genning this fucking game LMAO

[crude marsh]

I am also trying to find the decryption key so I can look at their xml files

[modern bronze]

If you get one of those smart flesh lights that you can control via app then yes.

[sick monolith]

anyone able to make hdr10+ work on pc? there's an option in the game but it's grayed out

[crude marsh]

honestly if a game engine uses xml thats already a sign of the end times

[modern bronze]

Imagine coming here to RenoDX and asking how to use hdr10+ on this, the day of my daughter’s birth

[barren pasture]

just forget about hdr10+

[clever spindle]

the fact that there's HDR10+ proves my point

they are koreans

and samsung begged them to add HDR10+

and they probably sent them screens

with HDR

[modern bronze]

Should’ve added Dolby vision.

[sick monolith]

bro the fix is coming.. they're still working on it.. our only option is hdr and hdr10+ atm?

[subtle sinew]

samsung and pearl abyss have a big partnership

all of their monitors are always showing BDO content on show floors

[modest hatch]

Samsung is like the black rock of Korea

[modern bronze]

Use SDR with windows autohdr.

[clever spindle]

yet the can't make anything that isn't buggy

[jade kettle]

for me it works out of the box but i dont see any difference. if anything it looks worse

[sick monolith]

and you suggest the worst hdr option of them all. why

[modern bronze]

Because that’s what you deserve

[lucid shoal]

That's not a good thing with how my S95f was out of the box

[modest hatch]

If just the foliage in this game is fixed that’d be awesome

[clever spindle]

this game literally has a vivid mode filter already

if u play it on vivid mode too

RIP

[sick monolith]

wdym fixed?

[modest hatch]

As in not look fuzzy

[ocean onyx]

this game is so bad in the accurate modes i feel like the vivid modes can't make it any worse

[faint bobcat]

chat even #Grok is saying the game is cooked

[worn ibex]

Fucking hell….

Ngl I hate vibe coding

[modern bronze]

What do you guys think of the S95F vs C3? Those were my options when I got the C3

[ocean onyx]

if you guys need predictions on stocks to buy hmu

[worn ibex]

S95F mogs the C3 bro what

[faint bobcat]

Pelosi mode?

[modern bronze]

Maybe it was the s90f?

[worn ibex]

I went from up 20% to up 3%

[modern bronze]

What was the comparable one? Lol

[vivid iris]

coding is one of the few things ai is actually so helpful for though

[rough granite]

Ah yes the nuclear fusion fish recipe

[vivid iris]

entirely vibecoded stuff sucks of course

[crude marsh]

especially for modders AI is insanely good

[worn ibex]

It’s produced so much fucking slop that I’ve had to fix

[vivid iris]

anytime it's engineering something it sucks

but like, to slot into something you're building and take over some busy work, invaluable

[lucid shoal]

My non coding ass is going to see if I can get the reno tools working next week I think

[lapis smelt]

Pack it up

[modern bronze]

The problem I think is probably more like all AI shit is that it’s letting people who don’t know what they’re doing do it so it’s fucking over the competent.

[worn ibex]

Listen I’m not the biggest fan of the democrats for all the reasons they suck but man, trump has done a number on my portfolio

[modest hatch]

It looks so terribly fuzzy with anything less than full cinematic settings, ray tracing on, and ray reconstruction on

[modern bronze]

Vibe coding is great for me whose brain has rejected coding the 15 times I tried to learn it. But idk if I’d try to enter a professional space with it

[covert shuttle]

ewww

[ocean onyx]

i offhandedly mentioned wanting to mod a game in another server so it might be my weekend pursuit to get started

do you think AI generated their shadowmaps

[modern bronze]

Trump is running a pyramid scheme on the country and the profit ladder keeps getting pulled further and further up

[fresh smelt]

[ocean onyx]

almost like it's all wealth transfer scams for oligarchs to centralize money and power

[lapis smelt]

Dont worry guys, they have already fixed the AI painting

[flint moss]

Sandfall would disagree!

[lapis smelt]

With DLSS5

[ocean onyx]

fuck

[modern bronze]

If we agree to forget about the Epstein files maybe he won’t completely ruin us all

[ocean onyx]

i was just about to make that joke

lmao

[modern bronze]

jk, he’ll ruin is either way

[rough granite]

Getting misplaced shadows following player movement on interiors

[worthy kernel]

artistic vision

[crude marsh]

this is just a thing that happens everywhere

something is rendering at half res

[ocean onyx]

no clues on what that something is yet?

[crude marsh]

and not sampled to full screen

[faint bobcat]

I am adding debug for their shadows

gibe me a moment

I need to find a scene where this happens

[thin forge]

Weirdest stuff so far for me has been going into menus and my fans going into turbo on little to no heat (CPU? GPU? Didn't figure this out yet)

I also haven't checked the perf impact of pinning to one CC on my CPU

[nova cargo]

does the game look decent in sdr

[ocean onyx]

no

[ocean onyx]

sdr is just as chopped and screwed

[vivid iris]

no ✨

[nova cargo]

is the mod still gonna have vanilla+

[wispy crown]

I have a 7950X3D. CPU usage goes down with having it on just one CCD so 3D Cache seems to be working great for this game. Performance no diff because the game is always GPU locked.

[modern bronze]

That’s not fair, it is legitimately one of the most graphically beautiful games ever developed. Just because they half assed everything technologically doesn’t mean the game doesn’t look good objectively.

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-minions-popcorn-day-laugh-gif-5026739

[rough granite]

I’m in the castle at the beginning in Hernand

[vivid iris]

Their SDR and HDR are coherent. I could add proper brightness scaling though.

it's just acesv2 sucks

[nova cargo]

n2 or nr?

[vivid iris]

n2 I think

[nova cargo]

feels like it needs more gradual desat

so the orange cloak has a better gradient

nr might be better

[vivid iris]

right now bleach is set as low as possible

[nova cargo]

I played with bleaching a little and it seemed to only affect very bright highlights

[vivid iris]

pretty much yeah

I may add castlecsf as a slider

[wispy crown]

How is the mod going? Still a long way to go? You've been on it for quite a while

[faint bobcat]

Me when I cant instantly release a mod

Game is special

[spare quartz]

game's pretty good ngl. I started playing now without hdr fix. take ur time

[nova cargo]

is chromatic aberration being run in pq?

[ocean onyx]

Take your time because you're going to have to manually fix every single shadowmap manually across the entire game

[nova cargo]

or is it ap1

[wispy crown]

Yeah the games HDR isn't that bad from a visual standpoint. No pressure

[vivid iris]

still haven't found CA in the shaders that actually does anything to the image

but I've found like 3 different ones

oh well I just found it lol

[plush parcel]

wth

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-w-gus-fring-gus-gustavo-deleted-gif-25440636

[ivory bough]

what was that

[vivid iris]

uhhhhh CA is probably ap1

[wise sonnet]

bdo also has the crazy popin

[ivory bough]

a lot of scenes in this game look like a cursed version of RDR2 to me

[vivid iris]

it's before tone mapping and they do an ap1 to bt709 conversion there

[lapis smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/okami-amaterasu-wolf-dog-ps2-gif-23074649

We finnally got the Okami sequel we always wanted

[vivid iris]

yeah that WCG was CA. It also does some weird things to hues

[crude marsh]

disabling CA would be a godsend, particularly bad in this game

[vivid iris]

already done

[mortal wolf]

it's nr

[vivid iris]

oh I thought 1 was n2, whoops

[mortal wolf]

saturation slider wouldn't work with n2

[vivid iris]

ah

[mortal wolf]

highlight desat is better controlled as a secondary thing, like psycho to 4000 nits and then n2 to display

[modern bronze]

CA vs motion blur- fight.

[scenic adder]

Camera or per object motion blur?

[modern bronze]

Camera.

We can include per object as its own thing in the fight

[livid gorge]

hello there, first of all thanks to all the modders for amazing jobs on mods in this discord channel (save so many game with pretty bad hdr) ! I am not a modder at all, just have a (maybe stupid) question, is it possible to have an option to toogle off the chromatic abberation in reno dx for crimson desert ? Many thanks in advance 🙂 cheer from France 🙂

[mortal wolf]

leave it at 0, not needed with nr

[ocean onyx]

they are working on it and have figured out how to disable the CA. just need to wait on the mod to release now

[livid gorge]

they are god

💯

[smoky brook]

this thread is so active we could do with an ai summariser bot

[gray laurel]

Wasn’t the whole pre-game buzz about how forthcoming they were with performance numbers and how reasonable the hardware targets? What happened?

[ocean onyx]

i gotchu:
game rendering is bad slop and forge is going insane fixing it. hdr is accurate to sdr but both are cooked. mod is making good progress

[worn ibex]

So real, should I go watch project Hail Mary

[worldly frost]

Yep until the optimization turned out to be using ray tracing noiser than software lumen and atrocious popin

[smoky brook]

@Claude did they say if they might be able to fix the deleted rain with RR on

[crude marsh]

ok but uh, performance is only semi reasonable because the visuals are absolutely obliterated and when you actually max things it doesn't perform well

[vivid iris]

sharpening figured out

[ocean onyx]

https://klipy.com/gifs/you-dropped-this-king-you-dropped-this-queen

[true dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-gif-4115569673926897153

[vivid iris]

no ca no sharpening w/psychov-11

[mortal wolf]

was all that noise ca and sharpening?

[ocean onyx]

already looks 11 times better

[low crane]

https://klipy.com/gifs/yeahh-14

[vivid iris]

seems so

[modern bronze]

For a Korean game this game’s performance target might as well be futuristic alien technology.

[vivid iris]

vanilla with post processing

[mortal wolf]

without CA+Sharpening seems clear enough you can could crank contrast and still see

[spare quartz]

gamedev subreddit loves chromatic abberation

future renodx candidates

[gray laurel]

I didn’t preorder this game bc seemed way too good to be true, glad I didn’t

I preordered Clair Obscur though

Seemed achievable 🤣

[mortal wolf]

looks like ass

[midnight blade]

I wish i knew why people loves CA, what is that even suposed to do ? I mean in 4k it blurry all my games, feels like playing low res

[crude marsh]

in this game CA actually makes my eyes have a bad time

things just look so wrong/off

[modern bronze]

I preordered it 16 hours in advance because I’m a sheeple.

[gray laurel]

It has 200k concurrent but feels impossible that that will last with 66% user review score

[modern bronze]

I wanted the preorder bonuses.

[spare quartz]

i preorder last 15 min

[crude marsh]

I just wanted to share Forges pain

[mortal wolf]

real color range revealed

[crude marsh]

woah

[spare quartz]

user score will keep increasing

[modern bronze]

I stopped playing because I have PC gamer brain and had to come to discord for HDR mods. not intentionally, it just kinda happened. But for what I’ve played so far I don’t understand the ratings at all.

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/glasses-what-confused-puzzled-christopher-gif-16129688

[vivid iris]

it's funny most sharpening filters try to avoid edges, but it seems like the one here is explicitly targeting them

looks so bad

[modern bronze]

The combat is fun, the controls aren’t as nightmarish as people keep saying, and it looks good.

[midnight blade]

Picking up items on the floor is such a nightmare

[mortal wolf]

@vivid iris still waiting for burnt red interiors

[vivid iris]

that requires me playing the game

[lapis smelt]

Systems driven open world RPG, it will sell even more

[faint bobcat]

we're both on the intro camp

[modern bronze]

People said the controls in the Witcher 3 were bad even after they fixed them but I never felt that way so maybe I’m just a mutant freak.

[faint bobcat]

I havent moved more than 5 metres

[mortal wolf]

CA and sharpening cooked that blade of grass to radioactive green (and screenshots don't do justice)

[scenic adder]

I spent about 5 minutes trying to grab something from a puzzle lock thing, the game refused to acknowledge the item unless I was looking at the correct pixel

[final imp]

Did u guys get the storage feature added yet ty 🙂

[mortal wolf]

must be 16bit half-float precision

[modern bronze]

Fun fact: I bought the entire CDPR collection including CP77 about 2 days before CP77 released for $29.

Best gaming deal of my entire life.

[midnight blade]

Yeah items need a bigger interactive range, i wish a mod could fix that

[worn ibex]

Damn

[modern bronze]

Gog was running a sale on the complete collection ahead of cp77 release and I abused regional pricing to get it down to like 1/4 the price.

[crude marsh]

what exactly about this game is it that people think looks good, its definitely one of the worst in some time especially relative to the hype/RT hype

[faint bobcat]

high contrast and doesnt have anti soul gas

compared to every other UE5 game

[crude marsh]

I guess there isn't a bunch of fog yeah

[modern bronze]

I think that’s because you’re looking at the individual elements that make up the graphics rather than the bigger picture. The game looks picturesque when taken as a whole.

[crude marsh]

and its vibrant

[subtle sinew]

I can't wait to play this with yall's fixes

[ocean onyx]

i'll take the anti soul gas over this shit any day of the week

[crude marsh]

hard to see anything past the CA, sharpening, and 20 parts of my screen flickering

with half the image blown out and the other half crushed

[tame vault]

I'll play once these 3 things are fixed

[vivid iris]

poster child for the importance of the forest over the trees I guess. Taken as a whole the game just has a look that people gravitate to. If you inspect basically any individual thing in this it's just worse than most other games lol

[tame vault]

Cant play with the CA

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-24107071

[crude marsh]

yeah probably gonna be somewhat tolerable with the color, CA, and sharpening fixes

[modern bronze]

The CA doesn’t bother me, the flickering is only present for me with frame gen.

[crude marsh]

all of the shadows flicker

trees

[mortal wolf]

devkit so nice

[crude marsh]

a ton of stuff as you move

lights constantly change based on distance

idk, I can't look past everything changing all the time

also the skylight on interiors

[modern bronze]

Have you tried hard liquor and illegal drugs? That might help you overlook the obvious flaws.

[crude marsh]

you will love skylight in interiors

[faint bobcat]

good thing I can fix

maybe

I dunno

[crude marsh]

I spent like 2 days trying to remove screen space reflections on a single table in the ascent because it ruined a cutscene

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gif-5430850758035663288

[crude marsh]

only to figure out they put glass on top of the table and UE4 doesn't support translucent reflections in RT

but it looked metallic

[modern bronze]

And that’s why they pay you the big bucks ($0) to fix that stuff for us idiots.

[crude marsh]

anyways, excited for removing CA and sharpening, then coming in with some RCAS to help clean up RR

[faint bobcat]

just checked cbooofers

its all 0

[smoky brook]

some of us are just cursed to be bothered by everything, and we're lucky a few are pissed off enough to fix it via mods

[faint bobcat]

theres like 4000 cbuffers

but theres all empty

[mortal wolf]

i wouldn't rely on dx12 cbuffers

[faint bobcat]

PIX it is then

[mortal wolf]

you can use canvas for that, but if it draws to screen

[wide root]

you guys have jobs or just mod 24/7, i dont mod and i dont have a lot of time to game lol

[clever spindle]

There was no cameras in the middle ages.

Why would they emulate CA, which is a camera thing.

[vivid iris]

but muh movies

[faint bobcat]

there was ACES though

[clever spindle]

Middle ages movies look like this?

[faint bobcat]

everything was dark and contrasty

[clever spindle]

I've never seen anything look like this game.

[sick monolith]

teach me how to remove ca plz

[crude marsh]

have a job and then spent about 2x that time fucking about with random games

[clever spindle]

It's called obsession

[vivid iris]

pearl abyss just loves heavy post processing for some reason

[worn ibex]

I think the overall presentation and scale makes it look pleasing

[vivid iris]

this game has restraint compared to bdo

[worn ibex]

Vibrant Colors

Vistas

Punchy

Lots of special effects

[subtle sinew]

and they're terrible at it 😭

[vivid iris]

literally just not doing my job rn cause this is all I can think about

[crude marsh]

idk if this is what people like to see we are doomed, the overall presentation is a mess in this game

you get a different experience everywhere you look

and by that I mean slightly turning

[ocean onyx]

yeah i think the overall presentation is awful, it just falls apart even more when you look closely

[crude marsh]

its highly inconsistent

[clever spindle]

Uh?

[ocean onyx]

deep fried doesn't even begin to explain the look

[crude marsh]

the 100m close to you looks completely different than what is beyond that

hell even 10m

[mortal wolf]

what the crap, somebody give me something to dlss5ify

[worn ibex]

I haven’t played so I wouldn’t know mind you

[crude marsh]

I can agree that some scenes have a nice composition

[rough granite]

Found the mighty pixel tree

[worn ibex]

I mean we are cooked overall considering people were saying dlss 5 looked « good » and « closer to the model » and « the lighting outside of faces » looked better

[crude marsh]

true

[mortal wolf]

how fast is this model

[sterile sable]

jeez cranking mouse acceleration to 100 makes x4 framegen feel like native with no input lag

[mortal wolf]

sure, garbage in / garbage out

[sterile sable]

(40 ms lat on 5080 max settings 1440h dlss q)

[lapis smelt]

I dont think there is a single pixel on that image that is not fucked beyond recognition.

[ocean onyx]

[vivid iris]

am I just wrong about this? isn't this the whole strategy of avoiding ringing artifacts?

[mortal wolf]

but this did it in 0.3 seconds

[gray laurel]

the user score on Metacritic is 77% much like the critic score (as user scores usually are)

[jade spruce]

bro got a gravitational well in his face

[faint bobcat]

Napoleon Oneeyepart?

[crude marsh]

oh yeah, we should probably inform folks that 100% accel is actually much closer to 1:1

[mortal wolf]

and upscaled it too

[ocean onyx]

the horse is a guy in a costume

[vestal flicker]

And we are thankful for it. ASD and OCD people comin in clutch for ADHD people who get bothered and obsessed just as much by stuff, but can't actually be bothered to put any effort toward fixing it.

[mortal wolf]

how fast would ocarina of time run on this

it'a 20fps game

[ocean onyx]

oblivion ahh face

[wide root]

mgs4 piss filter into dlss5ify im curious

[mortal wolf]

0.326s

[worthy stream]

thanks, I hate it!

[ocean onyx]

why did it turn the whole screen into a vignette

[wide root]

focus link

[mortal wolf]

a moody real life image. update lighting for correct lighting ONLY, high resolution 8K, massively high detail, same contrast, cinema, amazing, cinematic, realistic lighting, 4k, properly exposed, properly lit, rich colors vibrant, hdr,

[worthy stream]

because it has no understanding of anything

see re9 dlss 5

removes all mood 🐸

[ocean onyx]

if you didn't tell me otherwise i would assume this was the grass texture in crimson desert

[mortal wolf]

i said moody, to be fair

[wide root]

"amazing"

[mortal wolf]

yep

not moody

[flint moss]

Guys I've been reading a ton of YouTube comments and apparently the game looks shit because of denuvo 🤓

[worthy stream]

I hate it too

[mortal wolf]

lol, link in a beanie

[worthy stream]

game has no denuvo on macOS, CHECK MATE!

[vestal flicker]

I say water melon

[mortal wolf]

0.048s

[sterile sable]

I have 2 issues with game now (aside from HDR): 1) It's blurry with any dlss setting but DLAA and DLAA introduced noticeable input lag (latency becomes 70+ on rtx 5080/9800x3d 1440p max) 2) and all shadows flicker/boil, I actually experience less boiling with RR off. Seems they put DLSS/effects in wrong pipeline part and it seems they fixed only rain with RR however fix should be similar for these issues

[modern bronze]

What

I believe it, but what’s the explanation?

[mortal wolf]

20 fps with 600p input, 2gb of VRAM

[faint bobcat]

shadows flicker becasues there atleast 13 different parts that are borked and make it flicker in their shadow code

[flint moss]

Um well because denuvo worsen performance by like 20000% or something

Not sure, need to read more comments

[modern bronze]

Denuvo does ruin everything, that much is well known.

[tame vault]

Please stop. Denuvo isnt why this game is broken

[viscid wedge]

YT comments are definitely where the answers are, for sure.

[gray laurel]

Wait dis for all games or just this one

[spare quartz]

denuvo killed my dog

[flint moss]

(I fear my sarcasm isn't coming through)

[tame vault]

Phew, sorry

[viscid wedge]

I hear people say wild things like that all the time. My abilty to tell if they're joking is broken.

[thick zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/mc-jugger-nuggets-gif-19032456

[crude marsh]

this one

[modern bronze]

Denuvo has been positively linked to significant performance issues in a lot of games. Causing lag on some pipeline leading to graphical degradation isn’t that hard to believe.

[worn ibex]

Ok so the blurry thing is because the LOD bias isn’t set correctly so textures load at a lower resolution, also variable rate shading

[ocean onyx]

denuvo has been positively linked to bad information

[tame vault]

Jon, you wonderful man, tell me straight please, any chance of disabling CA and/or sharpness in next hour? If not i'll go to bed. Thanks for the work.

[ocean onyx]

he figured both out but mod is not ready for release yet

[flint moss]

Yeah pretty normal nowadays 🫠

[ocean onyx]

so you should probably just go to bed

[sterile sable]

I dunno it feels a bit different than lod bias. For example Dead Space remake devs made same mistake and it only textures in dead space. In this game it's like blurry tint put on whole screen

[vivid iris]

I mean I could post a jank build for people to play with

[tame vault]

Please

[modern bronze]

There have been multiple titles where pre-release executables without denuvo have performed better than post-release executables and performance in titles has magically improved in the exact release where it was removed.

[crude marsh]

I tried turning off RR and interior lighting was unplayable

[tame vault]

Jank on jank

[wide root]

tom cruise wanna crimson desert badly

[viscid wedge]

4.0 DLAA?

[crude marsh]

didnt try dlaa

[modern bronze]

Oh yeah we couldn’t figure out the optimization until the exact release denuvo was removed despite the 14 updates before it. Coincidence for sure.

[tame vault]

Lol. I just want to fuck about with the engine

[vivid iris]

WIP, not looking for feedback yet

[digital cape]

LETSGOO

[wispy crown]

WIP is a lie. Final release let's gooo

[vivid iris]

I mean the psycho stuff is solid rn

[fresh smelt]

WIP into my veins

[vivid iris]

I need to do vanila+ and fine tune some things probably

[modern bronze]

I’m totally going to give feedback if I am dissatisfied with anything and act like I paid for it and am therefore entitled to immediate answers.

[tame vault]

What exactly is vanilla+?

[fresh smelt]

get it sorted jon and i'll get on that addon ini thing in rdxc 😂

[vivid iris]

lmaooo

[wispy crown]

The game updated for me on steam

[zenith hemlock]

you guys recommend using native HDR or it's better to stick to SDR until Reno comes ?

[wispy crown]

No steamdb update. Really weird. Seems to only by on my end then

[wispy crown]

Reno is here?

[modern bronze]

Reno’s already here bro. WIP just uploaded, you don’t see that?

[zenith hemlock]

oh shit

I didnt see the message I checked 10 mins ago

[tame vault]

Game takes so long to load, then blinds you

[faint bobcat]

wait

[lapis smelt]

Any special instructions for now, or just setting max nits is ok?

[faint bobcat]

wtf is this

noooo

[modern bronze]

During the initial loading screen I thought the game was frozen.

It did that animation for like a full 2 or 3 minutes.

[faint bobcat]

@mortal wolf so when I modified shader code, the game ran cache again and spawned a different permuation

this is for shadow shaders

[modern bronze]

Imagine having stable shader permutations

[faint bobcat]

this is going to be dreadful isnt it

mfs really are going to spawn a trillion permutatiojs

[vivid iris]

Use default exposure and in-game peak nits can be anything, psycho ignores it. Ui needs to be adjusted in game for now

[nova cargo]

Ac Valhalla too

[fresh smelt]

it's like if they both had a baby but it turned out wrong

[crude marsh]

by god this is immediately 100x better

[flint moss]

Can't wait to try it

[flint moss]

You mean... like its actually playable? 🙌

[manic finch]

the DLAA is just straight up broken in this game right

like everything else

every time I try to use it just black flickering at the top of the screen

[sick monolith]

no upscaling is best

[manic finch]

problem is you can't use RR so guess I am stuck with dlss quality to use it

if i want to

[sick monolith]

ray reconstruction is using preset D. it fixes light noise but blurs the whole image

[lament nymph]

I spent so much time in the gambling den you guys can call me god of gambling

[faint bobcat]

heres your cascade bro

I wonder why shit spawns/changes 5 metres in front of me

[sick monolith]

is it normal that the game did new shader comp after installing the addon?

[mortal wolf]

yes, it's a new shader

[faint bobcat]

yes

new shaders

so it reruns it

[lapis smelt]

Theres no way

[livid gorge]

@faint bobcat thx for the wip mod ! so basically the instruction are ? hdr on in game and generic deph and effect runtime off ? thanks 🙂

[faint bobcat]

yes

[tame vault]

Looks acceptable to me now, with RR, DLSS Performance, FG x 2, 120fps lock in DC

Thanks so much

[mortal wolf]

somebody show me interior burnt sienna please

[flat delta]

Which setting can I turn off in reshade again in order to reduce some potential performance hits?

[tame vault]

Yes, then turn Chromatic Abberation and Sharpness sliders to 0. And consider using Lillium's RCAS shader

[livid gorge]

thx

[ocean onyx]

in case you guys were curious what the other stuff is like

[faint bobcat]

nanite at home

[rough granite]

Just add silent hill fog and you’re good no need for more

[midnight blade]

mod is great, thanks guys 🔥

[sick monolith]

CA and sharpness off

[flint moss]

Is that black floor levels or something else?

Yooo the game looks so much better. Yall cooked in less than 24 hours, amazing 👏

[plush parcel]

Let's GOO the bois are cooking

[tame vault]

Just adds a touch of (good) sharpening back

[jade spruce]

they have some kind of virtualized geometry system?

[tame vault]

God damn flicking between Vanilla and Psycho/RenoDX is crazy

How could anybody play vanilla

[mortal wolf]

vanilla has film grain?

[vivid iris]

In the shader yes but idk if it’s ever used

[carmine stump]

Thanks alot❤️

[sick monolith]

time to play from the start again

[faint bobcat]

nah this is just materialID

I wanted to shitpost

[low crane]

[faint bobcat]

[flint moss]

[jade spruce]

Forge will not move more than 10 meters for the coming 3 months

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/i-miss-you-gif-8872655581622346709

[sick monolith]

any suggestions for rcas settings? or just default?

[mortal wolf]

these gifs already exist

[worn ibex]

Ok that’s VRS then, dead space had bad VRS, variable rate shading. It’s been talked about, and forge can possibly disable it

[lyric aurora]

Do you guys got pop in with some little props and shadow around character ? (DLAA + ultra and RR)

[flint moss]

Guys am I crazy or is the noise slightly better now? This must be placebo right? 😅

[icy dragon]

Are the textures blurry using dlss performance?

[mortal wolf]

sharpening bad

[tame vault]

I always just use default tbh. It's subtle.

[mortal wolf]

@vivid iris would appreciate if you mark Vanilla as (ACES2)

[tame vault]

Not that my eyes can tell tbh

[mortal wolf]

(also my kofi is special 🖤 on its own line)

[high pollen]

how did you have RenoDX preset's ?

[vivid iris]

Yeah sure

[flint moss]

So sharpening caused much of the noise? Woah

[vivid iris]

Yeah forgot to fix that lol

[faint bobcat]

something something PCF is attributing to shimmer

[subtle sinew]

Has anyone tried messing with negative LOD bias with this game?

[low crane]

HOLY fuck its amazing how much better it looks now

[lament nymph]

betta?

I just woke up

time to check

[next tinsel]

Can't wait to get off work in 30 minutes and try the wip

[flint moss]

RIGHT? I cant beleive what im seeing lol

[sly swift]

The real question is though… does it help enough to tolerate the gameplay now 😜

[sick monolith]

tap a to run double tap to sprint

[viscid wedge]

this is infuriating

its so sluggish too

[sick monolith]

there is a mod in nexus i believe

[lament nymph]

rdr2 figured out this shit a long time ago, these devs are like ... let's copy 99% of the homeworks but not the important one

[flint moss]

Theres a mod out on nexus for that, not sure if its good though

[manic finch]

I don't think the sprinting is that bad, you only have to hit it twice and hold to run fast

you can run faster but not really needed imo

yeah i did see the mod

[mortal wolf]

https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1rz12ci/crimson_desert_hdr_on_4k_oled_is_very_impressive/

[next tinsel]

From what I saw on comments it breaks scrolling in the map ui

[flint moss]

I would use it, but full sprinting in combat seems annoying

[forest path]

[sudden pulsar]

So @faint bobcat , have you fallen into insanity yet?

[faint bobcat]

yes

whole game is cooked

nearly everything needs a rework

[next tinsel]

Insanity is the best place to be though.

[faint bobcat]

nearly every shader is responisble for either dogshit visuals or shimmer

or some other form of temporal instability

[lament nymph]

0 is my friend

I was just twisting the knife in the wound lel

[abstract hawk]

[ocean onyx]

everyone in awe of the shadow cascades

[vivid iris]

The worst part is that if we accept that acesv2 is artistic intent, then the hdr is good

[sudden pulsar]

The?…

[low crane]

I noticed the sharpness and CA settings doesent work when FSR frame gen is on

[faint bobcat]

alagy

Like the anti tampers the game has in place

[faint bobcat]

[next tinsel]

Not as bad as the handful of Arc users lol

[sick monolith]

203 for 1000+ nits as per itu

[vivid iris]

It’s only 203 by default cause it matches vanilla tbh

[abstract hawk]

I love a good clowning on AMD users as much as the next guy.

But there's no scenario in which a game should look THIS different between vendors, short of using things like Path Tracing and such.

It's pure slop from devs' end, lol.

[carmine stump]

I have LG 77"C2 with max 800 nits

[ocean onyx]

Whole game is pure slop

[sly swift]

I think it’s 172 nits for 800 based on ITU

[vivid iris]

Outside with her right now

[mortal wolf]

also ACESv2 desaturates based on your peak nits, so testing on 2000nit Samsung TVs for the PS5 isn't going to be the same for PC displays that cap at 400

[faint bobcat]

only nsight doesnt work for me and randomly crashe (Kal said this has nothing to do with Denuvo and is probably game shenanigans)

[mortal wolf]

you don't get to see ACESv2 move saturation as you slide peak nits in realtime

[ocean onyx]

So this game is the anti-dio?

[abstract hawk]

The opposite

It has all the colours and look that Dio enjoys.

[ocean onyx]

Damn

[abstract hawk]

Avg. Samsung enjoyer.

[ocean onyx]

Much less funny that way

[abstract hawk]

LMFAO

[mortal wolf]

actually it didn't give him his yellow. traded yellow for burnt sienna

they have ips. ips looks peak in a brightly lit mall

[true dagger]

it actually makes the game look so much better thank you for the addon 😭

[faint bobcat]

Don't thank us

Thank Pearl

[abstract hawk]

Proof?

[faint bobcat]

Screenshots?

[lament nymph]

so when is the dev ever going to fix their actual rendering pipeline instead

[abstract hawk]

lmao

[faint bobcat]

ShortFuse still hasn't gotten any

[sick monolith]

how do you fix this tho? some stuff are just glowing like the wooden plank steps in the middle.

[lament nymph]

like ... idk ... maybe RT with normal shadow res

[analog charm]

is a special reshade fork needed? trying with 6.7.3 w/ addon support, i can see the gui ingame but no slider does anything

[spare quartz]

denuvo has performance impact but on the cpu side. most users will never notice it unless on min spec

[forest path]

pbr

[true dagger]

Reno / Vanilla

[faint bobcat]

does the wood plank have a decal?

[lament nymph]

on a scale of 1 to 10, how black desert is crimson desert

here's the close up

@forest path script kiddie confirmed

[true dagger]

i got some gray ass weather rn so ill try to take some more once its not gray lmao

[mortal wolf]

blowout backwards? (1-1 = 0)

[jade flame]

I'm guessing the Reno addon will be a fix for the native HDR and not a replacement. (aka leave in-game HDR ON)

[plush parcel]

@vivid iris

[mossy gust]

hmm, none of the settings change anything in game, do i need to use a special reshade?

[vivid iris]

yeah, by default 0 is max for some reason

maybe there's a reason for it but in my head it should be flipped around in the lerp

[tame vault]

Say it quietly but Im actually enjoying the game

[faint bobcat]

that scattering looks shit needs LMS

[vivid iris]

ah yes the ligma system

I'm excited about progress you guys are making 🙂

[mortal wolf]

show vanilla please

[vivid iris]

idk, visually it looks like it needs to be inverted

[faint bobcat]

no way

CD next gen upgrade just dropped

INNNZANNNE COLOURS

[sudden pulsar]

Gawdawm

[vivid iris]

tbf saturation is turned up by default with psycho right now

the game used to be more saturated

then they swapped to acesv2

[vivid iris]

game has no art direction I swear

[faint bobcat]

so he did indeed fix

[lament nymph]

huh

what a coincidence

[faint bobcat]

thats the same pic

[true dagger]

oh shit is it

[vivid iris]

yeah, not in the ironic way

[fresh smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/they're-the-same-themes-gif-13134378358950761776

[true dagger]

here left vanilla right is psycho

[mortal wolf]

uh...?

[true dagger]

idk maybe i accidentally posted the same one twice

is this one different? lol

[vivid iris]

that looks right

[fresh smelt]

yes ha

[mortal wolf]

yeah, that's more what i expected

[true dagger]

woops

[mortal wolf]

almost at burnt sienna locations...

though this kinda shows it already

[crude marsh]

well, game is more tolerable but damn its so blurry

[fresh smelt]

you using RR?

[lament nymph]

put ur sharpening filter back on

[worn ibex]

Is the new tonemapper in any other game btw

[true dagger]

for me its the lod mostly that hurts

[crude marsh]

lighting is broken without RR so have to use RR

[worn ibex]

RCAS?

[true dagger]

yes RR, almost all cinematic and few ultra

[crude marsh]

I have 0.7 RCAS atm

[worn ibex]

Oic

[flint moss]

Well, its better than wilds at least lol

[true dagger]

oh u asked him lmao oops

[worn ibex]

Any way to modify the LOD bias? Like with NVPI

[crude marsh]

people said it didnt do anything but I havent tried it

[lament nymph]

this game graphics are disappointing but at least my eyes aren't being actively damaged by the colors

[vivid iris]

there's a lens distortion in this shader, maybe that's the issue

[vivid iris]

meant to reply to this

[crude marsh]

something do be feeling off but not sure if its distortion

[vivid iris]

yeah lens distortion doesn't appear to be in use

[crude marsh]

but yeah the LODs when upscaling are busted like other people said I think

[sleek veldt]

If yall are playing better looking versions of the game than me and haven’t sent a link this is a betrayal

[fresh smelt]

i noticed weird screen edges in ultrawide
like it warps some

[sleek veldt]

I will never forget this

[crude marsh]

probably 3x FG and low fps at times

[vivid iris]

they sharpen after the film grain that may or may not run...

[crude marsh]

this game is visually tiring, less so after removing CA and sharpening for sure though

[lament nymph]

AT LEAST it comes with a particle effects slider

[vivid iris]

if @brisk rain says I can, I could put rcas into this

[lament nymph]

like holy crap ... thanks pearl abyss for including that

[mortal wolf]

dio yellow #1469072401450012774 message

"optimized" ...

you just aren't optimized enough to feel this optimization man

[crude marsh]

I will suck off the next dev that implements a sun/sky that works

[lament nymph]

I need to check out death stranding 2

[plush parcel]

How do you take comparison screenshots without restarting the game

[lament nymph]

prob the better looking game by far

[faint bobcat]

their shadows randomly enable and disable

ToD doesnt even change

[crude marsh]

I found some funny plants that made a noise and lit up so I stood in them and then I died

[faint bobcat]

its as if a 'cloud shadow' thats fake covers shadows

[fresh smelt]

with the right filter it looks better

[plush parcel]

kinda slaps

[vivid iris]

hmmm this is also kinda showing me that vanilla is probably more like 300 nit paper white

[mortal wolf]

acesv2 scales based on your peak

[vivid iris]

oh

[modest hatch]

AAAAAAAAA

[mortal wolf]

it's mostly daniele, but there's a gray match in there

[modest hatch]

WHY DO MY FRAMES RANDOMLY DROP

and I have to do a DDU wipe

[mortal wolf]

and then that 10.013 boost based on peak

[vivid iris]

so no vanilla+ needed, it's a fully functioning acesv2 system

[mortal wolf]

as intended

[vivid iris]

let it live in shame I guess

[mortal wolf]

hence i'd like it marked as so

[vivid iris]

yeah I made the change

[mortal wolf]

danielle does have sliders though

[analog charm]

need hdr enabled in the game's options. wish there was sdr support

[vivid iris]

now to see if I can hack together UI scaling without changing the 800 instances of ui elements being individually scaled

[crude marsh]

where is the foliage at tho

[mortal wolf]

but you'd haev to unbake daniele to get the contrast value back

0.10 is target output

0.18 is target input

but that could be baked into other stuff

[jade spruce]

who needs trees

[vivid iris]

@nova cargo no vanilla+ needed, acesv2 is operating according to spec and must live in shame.

[plush parcel]

Right is vanilla

[fresh smelt]

this is just so immensely better with reno, CA and sharpening removed and some precorrect

[subtle sinew]

looks a lot more like BDO now

[faint bobcat]

improved shadows

lemme send pics

game doesnt look flat AF anymore

Bend coming in clutch

[mortal wolf]

@vivid iris 0 means don't run the blending_intensity branch if (bleaching_intensity != 0.f). so.... unles 0.000001 pops, it is forward

[vivid iris]

I simply don't understand what I'm seeing then

[rotund raptor]

Game already looks better, yall are goated

[mortal wolf]

idk, i'm on beta13

beta11 was so last month

[vivid iris]

[mossy gust]

makes me notice the popin more since my eyes aren't being 24/7 seared, looking good

[vivid iris]

will update to 13 immediately when you post it

[tame vault]

Is anybody getting decent haptics and adaptive triggers?

[faint bobcat]

i wrote a linkedin post to farm likes with Crimson dessert if anybody wants to post it

which btw, isn't even on my keyboard?

[flint moss]

Not whatsoever. Even at the point where i started wondering if my adaptive triggers are broken

[mortal wolf]

my favorite crimson dessert is red velvet cake

[dire pilot]

I don't have the knowledge to know what that is yet

[tame vault]

Sigh. I'm getting some haptics with steam input enabled, but no triggers that I can tell

[mortal wolf]

are you a baby? a new bot?

[fresh smelt]

black forrest gateau

[mortal wolf]

(sorry that phrasing was weird)

[dire pilot]

this is a Crimson Desert joke - you don't know what items are until you hold them and then it says "KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED"

[mortal wolf]

oh. i only lurk and decompile here. and wait for burnt sienna images

i don't actually have the game

[dire pilot]

no worries, I assume one person had a little chuckle before blocking me

[vivid iris]

lmao

[lament nymph]

your joke doesn't even land for me

and I play the game for 10 hrs now

[clever spindle]

diabetes level 8

looks good

[fresh smelt]

that joke was too good for us
now that it's explained it's actually funny af lol

[lament nymph]

kliff prob messed up with his brains after he fell off a cliff

hence why he doesn't know what most things are

[dire pilot]

I'm just surprised I was mistaken for a bot when I don't have the new user mark lol

altho I guess I could be a bot playing the long con

[fresh smelt]

that's my plan tbh

[mortal wolf]

my favorite burnt sienna one is

[faint bobcat]

@crude marsh

looks like someone forgor to resize back to native res

[clever spindle]

so much baby hair on the temples

true man

[lament nymph]

handsome guy, too bad you can't just wash his paint off

[mortal wolf]

oh, i added texture replacement...

[clever spindle]

so many pores

[mortal wolf]

that's what i was last doing

[clever spindle]

medieval times were rough

[lament nymph]

[dire pilot]

I was gonna assume that since BDO's been out for so long, it must have a robust modding scene that will make work on CD easier and then go to its nexus page to see it has a single reshade preset from a year ago lol

[lament nymph]

it's an mmo, modding is an offense punishable by death

[dire pilot]

tell that to Final Fantasy XIV lol

[lament nymph]

how u gonna buy a swimsuit skin if u can just mod in nude

vindictus used to be moddable then nexon is like ... our gooners revenue is down, let's ban this shit

can't have ppl do nice things for free

[dire pilot]

14 intentionally doesn't want to use anti-cheat because the director doesn't like it and knows players don't like it

so they just ban people based on reports

consequence being pvp is full of cheaters lol

[mortal wolf]

hmmm

[lament nymph]

I mean unless you can intercept and decode the packets, ff14 should not need anti cheats at all at it's all server sided

also the gooners scene in that game is weak

[worn ibex]

Sommes-nous prêt le lancé de le magnum de forge?

[faint bobcat]

which shader is this?

[mortal wolf]

0xF9379BE7.cs_6_6.decomp.hlsl

down to 3600 lines of hlsl (flattened)

[faint bobcat]

wippie

[worn ibex]

Need a mod to replace this character Ngl

[lament nymph]

you get to play as a girl later

be patient

[modest hatch]

Guys I’m facing another massive FPS drop

I don’t know why

Did another DDU wipe but still not fixed

Why is this always randomly happening whenever I play the game

[viscid wedge]

unfortunate but probably not the best place for tech support. lots of troubleshooting required but better done elsewhere.

[modest hatch]

Is there a good tech support server

[tawny ravine]

Turns out you can blame them. Clown ass company

[lament nymph]

dear diary, today in 2026 somehow I want to root for intel and forget all their past transgressions

[sudden pulsar]

That is some serious cuckholding shit rooooooooofl

[frail wyvern]

Thank NVIDIA that now owns 96% of the Market and owns part of Intel. It's just trying to squeeze out AMD and reduce Intel altogether, while still trying to keep Intel profitable.

[lament nymph]

u mean 100%?

jensen huang literally called the president of the US and be like I own 100% of the market

💀

[frail wyvern]

Jensen Huang also calls out everyone who disagrees with his vision. No matter how right they are...

[lament nymph]

I like the guy tho, cool jacket

[worthy stream]

meanwhile it shipped on macOS lol

[cosmic zenith]

I wouldn't trust "Intel says" sorta stuff. Nvidia also said it worked with the devs for that DLSS5 debacle, and it starting to sound like they just lied or misrepresented the situation

[tawny ravine]

Yeah I mean we can't know for sure. Maybe they will add support for it later or just keep blocking every arc owner from playing the game

[cosmic zenith]

I doubt all dozen of them are holding their breath for Crimson Desert lol

[tawny ravine]

Still completely blocking intel GPU users is a weird move. Especially since there are dozens of them as you said xD

Dunno when I last heard a game blocking hardware thats relatively new from launching the game

[cosmic zenith]

It's probably a better solution than the game just not working on intel GPUs

Block outright and give a refund so people don't feel scammed if the game runs terribly or is unplayable in other ways

[tawny ravine]

But everyone said it's the most optimized game ever. Runs flawlessly 😭

Jk but ye I guess that makes sense

Still weird that they didn't disclose anywhere in any way that the game is blocked from launching on Intel gpus before launch

Scummy move

[cosmic zenith]

Right? That should have been known before release

[tawny ravine]

It really should have been known. God knows what they were thinking

And their PR team doesn't seem good in general

This guy is a clown

"Let our video team rest"

[cosmic zenith]

Yeah, I don't understand how this guy got the job.

[hidden ivy]

don't think this is supposed to look like this 😄

[neon whale]

RR is so heavy and blurry in this game

[ocean onyx]

most optimized game ever. optimized games don't need shadows more than 5 feet away from your character

[worthy kernel]

as optimized as KCD2

[final imp]

Lemme take a peak at that forge edition again 🤤

[lament nymph]

so what's so cinematic about the cinematic preset

[lament nymph]

it goes back to positive

[ocean onyx]

it's gonna go back to positive

probably hit overwhelmingly positive too

[faint bobcat]

Reno comes out

goes positive

coincidence?

[lament nymph]

[glass axle]

you need to contact them for your cut

[faint bobcat]

ehhh

The malding is its own reward

Here is who you should be thanking

[ocean onyx]

live footage of lisa giving me a free code for the game

[faint bobcat]

Shortfuse has devolved into full DLSS5 brainrot

[modest hatch]

Good Lord

The time I spent troubleshooting for this game is the same amount of time of time I spent playing it

So many random fps drops

Driver issues

[worthy stream]

no one shit poster should have that much power

[modest hatch]

God it’s annoying

[mortal wolf]

it's coming

[vivid iris]

I'm curious, has anybody come across a situation where that pre-tonemap grade strength slider does anything?

would be weird if it's literally always neutral

but there's been a lot of code that seems to never run in this

[tawny ravine]

Up until you remove English language filter

[viscid wedge]

can't say it appears to do anything for me, at least

[lament nymph]

so you mean the english speakers are mostly ...

[tawny ravine]

Positive

[mortal wolf]

"don't believe the hype"
