Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[lament nymph]

when you press lb to highlight someone

the kick option show up

you press kick

you don't actually do anything

it's so weird

[lucid thorn]

wait you don't kick?

[crude marsh]

3x FG 5k x 2k DLAA w/ RR I get like 70fps lol

[lucid thorn]

I've kicked a few pots

[sleek veldt]

It adds that clear halo effect

[cosmic zenith]

Bruh, skyparkour got me to replay 100% of skyrim. Such a good mod

[lament nymph]

I wanted to kick ppl and the game is like ... well you don't get to do that, we show u the option to show u u are a bad person

[daring orbit]

I tried it 3x is useless for some reason

[lucid thorn]

oh people might be different

[crude marsh]

wdym useless

[pure sundial]

Every time I play I can't ignore these LOD's it's the one thing that bothers me the most

[daring orbit]

Well idk im on a 4080, so i had to use dlss enabler and 3x was really ugly

[lament nymph]

this game needs dlss 5 more than ever because creative intent is dogshit

[daring orbit]

A rtx 6000 probably does mfg better

[crude marsh]

somehow 4x FG is mildly playable at least for walking around at night

[worn ibex]

@crude marsh is it a 6000 pro

[crude marsh]

yeah

[worn ibex]

did you drop 10 grand on a gpu damn

[true dagger]

wait this actually works on 40 series cards? surprised i didnt hear much about the program might give it a go

[crude marsh]

it uses FSR

FSRFG for MFG

[true dagger]

oh fuck that then

[lament nymph]

all the artworks in this game is AI gen

[daring orbit]

Thats why it looks terrible

[crude marsh]

damn, just looking at reflections more stuff gets culled pretty close

[daring orbit]

is ss rtgi and contact shadows still useful?

[sleek veldt]

What is the Popin alg tied into?

[crude marsh]

haven't tried it in this game, I imagine the contact shadows would be weird because they use multiple types of shadows and a bunch of screen space that change constantly

[sleek veldt]

Is this fixable?

[tame vault]

Why do the controls feel so weird on the map? There's crazy acceleration

[daring orbit]

i think it is a massive dead zone

[thin forge]

alt-f4 brings up an exit menu, btw

[daring orbit]

thank you!

[thin forge]

it's such a nice feature!

[daring orbit]

jesus christ

[thin forge]

(it's also how I leave most auto-saving games)

[daring orbit]

lol why can you not just do it from the menu😆

[thin forge]

oh don't exit when the icon is on the screen? cool, I'll just alt-f4 when I'm done playing, then!

[cosmic zenith]

Based

[daring orbit]

whats that?

[cosmic zenith]

Pom comparison looks like

[sleek veldt]

With POM I hate that halo artifact

[daring orbit]

how do you turn on POM?

[cosmic zenith]

It's always on, you have to turn it off

I use shader toggle

[daring orbit]

fuk

[severe sphinx]

does anyone else's game feel choppy with frame gen even tho im getting 150+ fps

[daring orbit]

not really

[cosmic zenith]

It makes some things look too flat, but also fixes a lot of texture blur, clipping, and haloing

[pure sundial]

No matter what settings I change my FPS doesn't go above 42 fps base for some reason

[lament nymph]

running at night with the lantern out looks so wrong

[pure sundial]

trying to see if I can hit base 60 cuz frame gen artifacts are terrible

[sleek veldt]

Should I turn off Effect runtime and Generic depth?

[severe sphinx]

dam frame gen feels so bad for me but it fixes when I turn it off

[sleek veldt]

@cosmic zenith

[crude marsh]

yes

[sleek veldt]

cool

Reason so I can remember?

[daring orbit]

NVidia or AMD?

[crude marsh]

performance

[severe sphinx]

AMD

[sleek veldt]

what does it do?

[cosmic zenith]

Yes?

[daring orbit]

ok yeah, when i tried amd mfg i did notice that

[sleek veldt]

I had asked something but Lazorr answered

[crude marsh]

its for reshade addons that need them

like depth

[cosmic zenith]

oh lol no worries

[crude marsh]

err, reshade effects

[pure sundial]

I am capped to 41 fps what the hell lol

turning FG on fixes it

[cosmic zenith]

Does it stay fixed when you turn FG back off?

[daring orbit]

lol so much for optimized ray tracing

[pure sundial]

Nope

[severe sphinx]

ugh thats annoying thx for the help tho

[pure sundial]

It's definitely a bug I'm not CPU bound or anything no matter what I change it won't increase or decrease

[cosmic zenith]

i recall reading somewhere that Reflex and FG's framecap can get stuck on

[pure sundial]

Ahhh

[tame vault]

It's a bug you have to restart

[cosmic zenith]

Try toggling them both off then restarting the game

[timid prairie]

I encountered this issue but mine was capped to 56fps. Mine was due to turning on FG and turning it off turns on this issue. My workaround is, after turning off fg, restart the game.

[pure sundial]

alright cheers

Does anyone here play with RR off? It seems way too noisy imo

[tame vault]

Thankfully it only takes 6 minutes and a flash bang to get back into game

[daring orbit]

if you play with rr off, you have to not use dlaa allegedly

for hdr

[pure sundial]

interesting

[cosmic zenith]

I play with RR off so I can get 120fps with DLAA

[daring orbit]

yeah pretty annoying

[gusty bone]

FYI, This is being quarantined by Windows Security as a Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml on my PC

• https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FWacatac.H!ml&threatid=2147814523

VirusTotal is also stating this as flagged by 10/72 security vendors including Microsoft.

• https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/973b0f4ea788cfc58d4a35e7e437651d87025444f75e5fe2e0d8c2a3ede3ed57?nocache=1

[sleek veldt]

puddles reflect better and everything seems sharper with POM off

[pure sundial]

30 fps hit turning on RR but the game looks so much worse without it on

[crude marsh]

Wacatac is a classic Microsoft heuristic false positive that happens constantly and has for many years

[vivid iris]

Annoying, it’s been a while since this was an issue for me. Needless to say it’s a false positive

[pure sundial]

sigh dlss performance it is

[crude marsh]

isnt this method of doing POM extremely dated

Forge has probably answered that somewhere

[gusty bone]

Is it possible for you guys to digitally sign the file?

[vivid iris]

Costs money

[gusty bone]

Microsoft has made it a PAI for my company

[crude marsh]

I tried to use Azure for signing at one point but they want real personal info for small signing

which would be public and meh

was much cheaper though

[gusty bone]

I cant say the company I work for, but we are a software dev company and less than a year ago Microsoft switched up the signing requirements without notice causing us to delay a maintenance release by a few weeks 🙁

It a bit different though cause Im talking about the code signing for kernal-mode drivers

[thin forge]

Signatures are funny to me, a guy who makes software under a linux/bsd regime.

[tame vault]

The whole "textures being blurry the lower DLSS quality you use" issue thing. Does that still apply with RR on? Textures look ok to me with DLSS balanced but it might just be cause I'm sat back from a TV

[gusty bone]

Anyway, thought it bring it to yall's attention. Hope y'all dont take offense, I am just very security conscious and cant be too sure nowadays.

[lament nymph]

everytime u pick up a sealed abyss artifact the game lets you look at the artifact for no reason ,they are all the same, before you can stow them away ... why not stow them on default

[pure sundial]

🤢

[cosmic zenith]

I thought that was weird as well. No idea

[primal estuary]

I feel like at one point it was probably meant for there to be a mini game played there

[lament nymph]

prob

[primal estuary]

But actually though why does night time look like this

[lament nymph]

also u picked up this battered grain item which is a food item, instead of stowing them like the other food item , the character hold it unitl u press b to stow

this game is weird as fk

[pure sundial]

I noticed the same thing its sooo bright

[primal estuary]

Except when you look up, then it's still blue

[pure sundial]

I thought it was gonna be similar to dragons dogma 2 nights, judging by that clip from DF before the game released

[primal estuary]

Something had to have changed

[pure sundial]

I thought it was gonna be like this

[primal estuary]

Or I haven't seen full overcast downpour night like that

[lament nymph]

also at nighttime in sdr, you can turn off the lantern and everything is brighter

not a joke

[abstract hawk]

Nothing wrong with bringing it up, honestly.

If anything, good on you to be security conscious, everyone should be.

So long as you understand it's biz as usual with that, common for these addons to get flagged like that.

[primal estuary]

Yes

[abstract hawk]

It's all good, code is open source and all available for you to see and audit for yourself.

[lament nymph]

I just personally believe security hygiene on the internet is a fool's errand ... you just have to be conscious of the stuffs that matters because no one is truly safe

say u find a file and it says viruses, skepticism is guaranteed

not weird at all

this game takes time wasting to a whole new level so I just go find a puzzle and be like " lemme google for the solutions " ...

[raven bloom]

Hi yall! Just to make sure. Other than installing the mod and turning on RR is there anything else I should be doing to improve the graphics? Was following the thread earlier and too many messages since then

[gusty bone]

Yeah, some get defensive when you raise that their works are getting flagged, so I want to make sure my intention is clear. However, its happened where something you upload could have been maliciously modified without said persons knowledge. Really the only thing that gives any ounce of credibility to a files safety on Windows is a valid signature and even then its not full proof.

The sucky thing is small hardworking independent development teams have no good way of signing their work without getting stiffed by the costs 🙁

[sleek veldt]

The POM is tied to something causing artifacting with it off

.-.

[analog charm]

nah thats from shader hunting

[gusty bone]

Umer have you guys looked into SignPath? It is supposedly free for OSS.

[sleek veldt]

It's the waterfall

[analog charm]

if you restart the game its gonna go away

[gusty bone]

https://signpath.org/

[sleek veldt]

Me?

It only happens when I turn off the POM

I turn it on it goes away?

and it's only next to the waterfall

[abstract hawk]

Not my work here, brother. But I know SignPath can work if you are elgibile for it, no idea about criteria.

I can actually look at some point and recommend ShortFuse to apply if it makes sense.

It has CI/CD integration, nice.

But it's going to likely delay the release builds, as I'm assuming they're gonna need to go through their approval?

Not ideal for fast-paced environment like this.

[gusty bone]

Yeah, maybe just have a separate channel for builds that are more stable and worth the delay? Other "nightly" or "dev" builds remain unsigned, just a thought 🙂

[lament nymph]

this looks so bad

[gusty bone]

It would be awesome for the more security conscious like me. I have certain requirements and work off my home office PC where I cant risk installing anything that hasn't been signed, but I might be a rare breed XD. Anxious to see the results though.

[primal estuary]

Is that rain on snow?

I know it can happen but still

[lament nymph]

rain on sands on the beach

[abstract hawk]

Ooooofff

[primal estuary]

Oh f***

[abstract hawk]

Spend a few days here, you'll see nothing's stable in that sense.

Everything is iterative here, modders often go back and update their mods a year later, when they find a good new tonemapper.

Or for weeks at a time.

[primal estuary]

Stable as the sparkles when you enter building

[abstract hawk]

[lament nymph]

with no sands

good graphisxka

[gusty bone]

LOL trust me its like that for bigger software dev companies too lol

[abstract hawk]

So, yeah. Sadly, that signing will slow down, and add annoyance in deployment more than it'd help the end user.

[abstract hawk]

Oh, I know. But here, it's for different reasoning lmao

[gusty bone]

Yeah, I had wondered if so

[abstract hawk]

Like mod works fine, but the group here is very iterative. Will literally find something better as constantly working on things, that a week later might have a better code.

Definitely would've been ideal to sign otherwise.

[gusty bone]

Yeah, Unfortunately security tends to lead to bureaucracy, slowing down the work done

[abstract hawk]

Preach.

This is still decent.

There are some people that will share their shit randomly.

But won't show their code, lmao.

"Here, use this exe."

"No, sorry, can't make our code open source. People might steal it."

Okay, buddy.

[gusty bone]

Let me just click that,

[abstract hawk]

Distributed over Discord, too.

No secure channel.

[gusty bone]

https://giphy.com/gifs/seeso-fire-moss-it-crowd-3o7TKMlDDXVFNqC5EI

[abstract hawk]

No official store, no signed copies, nothing.

[lament nymph]

I like random exes

one time a guy sent me a picture in .exe

I was like okay ...

[gusty bone]

Thats where an air-gapped machine is useful

[abstract hawk]

Or Sandbox, yes.

[gusty bone]

Bro, it was just a self extracting executable with a jpg inside /s

[gusty bone]

Sandbox should be good, but how is the performance? Can you even game?

[lament nymph]

somehow ... in the camp it still shows resources even if they blackbar

during cutscene

why so many things to nitpick in this game

I still don't get what they greymanes are ... in rdr2 you know ur in a gang

[primal estuary]

Like 15 years of development give or take right? MMOs base turn into single-player game you can literally see it in every single thing that you're encountering

At least I feel like after so many hours in Warframe, wow, perfect world

Not an excuse for an explanation they should have tried to work it out but I feel like time scale wise it doesn't make a lot of sense

[lament nymph]

tell me when ncsoft makes a single player game, it will be fun

[abstract hawk]

Oh no, I only use it for smoketests. It's dogshit for anything major.

I use it for testing package installs, etc before publishing updates on official channels.

Quick checks just to be on safe side.

Albeit, any official channel you send it to will do it anyway, but nice to have precautions.

Plus, as I'm sure you're aware, review can take days/weeks sometimes.

And if it gets rejected over something silly, it's shit ton of time wasted.

[lament nymph]

like why do you have to stay completely still to quick travel, like why not just check if ur in combat or not

so many weird design choices

[gusty bone]

Hmm, do you guys have a trusted repo that i could get the file from? I would be more inclined to try it then.

[primal estuary]

Residual Instance checks for when you're in multiplayer

[abstract hawk]

https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/

Just an FYI, I'm not a contributor to the project (yet), but I trust it all the same and can vouch for it.

Everything is there.

[primal estuary]

Github ftw

[abstract hawk]

The guy who made the mod you're using, here's his fork of it: https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx

[gusty bone]

There is something wrong with the file provided on here, the one linked from github comes through clean

[gusty bone]

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/262fc1ec0818058414e9c121bff704c82038b83bcacea3226ad96f5197094752

[gusty bone]

https://oopydoopy.github.io/renodx/renodx-crimsondesert.addon64

[abstract hawk]

Likely a different build

The one you downloaded is probably from pinned?

[gusty bone]

Yeah, the one flagged is the one pinned

[abstract hawk]

Yeah, this is likely a newer build perhaps

[viscid wedge]

the pinned one is from the author, Jon, and what we're all using

[lament nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tz4u5oYx_o

😂

[gusty bone]

I wonder if since it came from GitHub its considered trusted, odd how its being flagged unless there is something in the code it triggers a false flag off of.

[abstract hawk]

I can't imagine any of that behaviour changing just cause it gets uploaded to Discord, unless you uploaded it directly from GitHub link? Then perhaps.

If it was a URL upload and all.

[gusty bone]

Anyways, let me check it out 🙂

[mortal wolf]

it's from clang compiler, using msvc is less prone to false positives with wacatac

https://tenor.com/view/wack-thatswack-hannibal-burress-ericandreshow-gif-20565184

true hackers use clang, i guess

[abstract hawk]

Literally I picture him every time I run that.

lol

[barren pasture]

are there any potential gains of compiling renodx addons locally?

there is also option using clang, ninja and msvc. does it make difference?

[lapis smelt]

Is she available pretty far in the campaign?

[naive terrace]

not that much, to be honest

[viscid wedge]

In chapter 2?

[lapis smelt]

Nice

I haven't left the first camp after prologue lmao

[viscid wedge]

I've been slacking completing the main story quests and just doing everything else

[naive terrace]

3

at the beginning of Chapter 3

[viscid wedge]

got it. I think I have the 3rd quest of Chapter 2 to do now

well, i've had it since basically this morning lmao

[naive terrace]

it toke me like 15 hrs to do that lol

[sleek veldt]

Im surprised no one has redone the PC M/K controls

[lucid thorn]

Have you guys noticed the crow wings consume no stamina if you're not moving

[sleek veldt]

Yes

[lucid thorn]

It's handy

[sleek veldt]

I still die if I hit the floor too hard tho

D:

[lucid thorn]

D:

[lament nymph]

holy crap this graphics suck ass

[ocean onyx]

Only just now realizing?

[lament nymph]

I keep finding new things to be impressed by

nvm the main city that ppl mostly visit

[ocean onyx]

Whole image is cooked here

[primal estuary]

It has its ups and downs

The downs really hurt

[modest drum]

ACES2?

[green gulch]

do u have other filters aside renodx?

my greens ingame is too saturated

[lament nymph]

psycho

[sly swift]

Do you use Gamer 1 or 2 on your LG?

[low crane]

Cool shit

[low crane]

Lower saturation?

[green gulch]

how?

[low crane]

click the advanced tab and options should pop up

[sick monolith]

mod said exposure is boosted .25x. does it still look cooked if you bring it back down?

[gilded cloak]

Guys wtf is wrong with waterfalls I am at tutorial I see a waterfall and it looks terrible

[ocean onyx]

Game is ugly

Long and short of it

[lament nymph]

what a pretty waterfall

oh wait ....

[gilded cloak]

Don’t get it

[gilded cloak]

Are there more parts of the game that suffer from something like this?

[tardy thicket]

The water looks awful in general

[rustic urchin]

hate the rain too cant see anything at all

[ocean onyx]

Easier question to answer is what parts of the game do not have something cursed going on

[gilded cloak]

😂

[rustic urchin]

anyone tried fishing and the water go all smudgy like vaseline smeared all over?

[gilded cloak]

In gameplay reveal I was blown away with water physics like ripples and waves it looked great don’t know what happened now

[lament nymph]

there are ppl in the world that thinks this is the best looking game since their dad and mom bonded

and I don't get it

how

[ocean onyx]

And his name is John from nvidia foundry

[tardy thicket]

Yeah it never looked as bad as in game now

[naive jackal]

Witcher 3 and Watch Dogs trailers looked a lot better than full release, remember the Killzone 2 bullshot trailers back in the day lol

[hardy owl]

Any news about the progress with the game's files? @faint bobcat @crude marsh

[rich zephyr]

does RR only work with max lightning setting?
when i make lightning setting to ultra for example RR gets disabled...

[rough granite]

yes

[rich zephyr]

this is just stupid... the lightning setting itself eats up alot of fps

[green gulch]

so what reshade filter do u guys pair up with renodx?

[rough granite]

640p CRT filter, i cant see issues people talk about

[primal estuary]

really look at that whole image and come up with 5 negative points. its easy

[primal estuary]

RCAS Lilliums .65

[lament nymph]

jesus fking christ mother of god jesus christ

[sterile sable]

restir is techniq for PT?

[sterile sable]

which resolution?

[summer notch]

beautiful

[rich zephyr]

is the startup movie really a loading screen? or just a movie that plays everytime... its hard to believe that some games same in size are ingme in like a minute and this takes like 5 minutes to load into

[lament nymph]

it's a loading screen

mine takes like 30s

[rich zephyr]

there is like no freaking way its taking this long bruh....

[lament nymph]

others take mins

[rich zephyr]

bro i have 5gbs nvme and 5800x3d.. other games load in 1 minute

no way your game loads in 30 seconds, record that please xD

[green gulch]

5gb nvme?

[rich zephyr]

meant gbps

[green gulch]

mines like around 35sec. maybe coz im still in hernand

[rich zephyr]

from main menu? or completly new start ?

[lament nymph]

exceed the file limit

x.x can't upload

[green gulch]

ill record mine

[rich zephyr]

ok weird

why does mine take so long then?

[lament nymph]

ancient pc

[green gulch]

try the 20% ssd rule

u should have 20% remaining space on ur drives

[rich zephyr]

brother its on a 4tb nvme. there is only 2 games on that one

ok from menu to ingame it took me 27 seconds

but that way on damiane, i think this stupid animation from kliff makes it seem so long

[green gulch]

werd u get the 1 min then xD

[rich zephyr]

yea, but this time i didnt get kliffs walking animation....

[gilded cloak]

Guys please help when I launch the game it says there were errors loading some addons in Reshade when I press home

I don’t see renodx

[green gulch]

its 1 min sorry

[rich zephyr]

how can i sheath my weapons? >.<

[rich zephyr]

let me try again with kliff

damiane doesnt have this stupid walking animation

[lament nymph]

regardless, it's a loading screen

[rich zephyr]

no.
with damiane and without that waling animatin i have like 27 to 30 seconds
with damiane and his walking animatin i have roughly 57 seconds

just try it out, with other characters you load way faster

@lament nymph

[lament nymph]

I'm not even gonna bother this game has too much issues as it is

[rich zephyr]

ye of course you dont bother brotha 😄

[lament nymph]

my friend told me his takes 3 restarts till it actually loads in

then another one with the same rig actually hard crash when loading

[rich zephyr]

well actually good for them, they can just return and have less stress

anyway, if someone finds a way to disable that kliff walking animation when loading into the game -> let me know

[lament nymph]

you don't like assassin creed loading in animation?

it's literally animus

[solid marsh]

what's the mod status wizards?

[rich zephyr]

yea but its not a scripted loading screen.

[sterile sable]

can microsplop please fuck off?

[lament nymph]

I have win defender on like always

never seen that

so idk

[sly swift]

eh to be fair that is a fair false positive

[sterile sable]

yes me too

[lament nymph]

the only false positive I see are from old hentai games cracks

or anything with the word keygen in it

and windows defender is like " UGH NO "

[sterile sable]

it screwed up all torrent tracker apps once

[narrow frost]

I think the funniest ones for me, has been launching "Skate." were shortly after Windows Defender puts a random dump file from the game into quarantine...
Does it everytime the game starts lol.

[lament nymph]

oh well so far it hasn't screwed up anything major, just minor inconveniences and it's still doing its job perfectly fine

so I give it a pass

[tired oxide]

Is there any fix for black bars with dlaa?

[lament nymph]

unlike antiviruses of the early 2000

windows xp was horrible in the sense that you go into any sketchy website and their banners stay forever

cause adware was hard to catch back then

[narrow frost]

Its by far the most efficient option out there, has only used WD ever since 10 released it.

[lament nymph]

I installed lots of antiviruses back then

[narrow frost]

Norton 360 and XP was crazy lol.

[lament nymph]

at least vista era u have something bad happening and antiviruses can't do shit u can just go nuclear with combofix

[rich zephyr]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT5qgKoKy5M
@lament nymph @green gulch

what a diff

[sterile sable]

Does Reno in pins uses RCAS?

[narrow frost]

Afaik its HDR + DLAA causing it.
Don't know if it matters between 4.0-4.5 since i haven't tried it.

[tired oxide]

Both 4.0-4.5 has it

[gilded cloak]

Help pleaseeee

[tired oxide]

Damn, that’s sad, only dlaa has no boiling for me

[tired oxide]

Try adding crimson desert folder to windows defender exceptions

[gilded cloak]

I did still it says the same 😭

[eager epoch]

I’m not sure if that was mentioned prior but when enabling POA there is some strange artifacts on the screen

[sterile sable]

just restore item

[rich zephyr]

is there no inventory key?

[mental dune]

I use RR and framegen

No other way to use RR if u dont have 5090 and want decent fps lol

[elfin hollow]

Don't worry you still need framegen even on 5090

[hallow junco]

Where I can download the RenoDx configuration for Crimson Desert?

[spare garnet]

So is this game certified slop of the year

[mental dune]

no

i love it

needs a few patches

[tame vault]

I also love it. And also agree it needs a few patches. Plus renodx is, of course, mandatory

You have to know what sort of game it is though. If you've never vibed with MMOs it's likely not for you

[smoky brook]

Do I wait for patches or buy now

[worldly swan]

new here, I don't understand, where exactly is that file in this server?

[fresh sparrow]

It'll depend on your tolerance for a number of things. For me, it's fine and I am enjoying it sufficiently with the currently available fixes. If you are sensitive to certain things, you may be better off waiting though.

[fresh sparrow]

Pin in the top right of the discord window, click that and look for the post with the file, click to download

[worldly swan]

Ok thanks

[tame vault]

Depends on your tolerance of visual jank

I'm having a great time, but I have a 5090 so can brute force with ray reconstruction

[languid shore]

how do u install the mod, where do i put the file from the discord?

[narrow frost]

Go to the game directory - example:
steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64
Drop the file there, also you'll have to install "Reshade + Full add-on support" by selecting the "CrimsonDesert.exe" through the installer (you can "skip" all effects if you are not planning on using them).

[languid shore]

im a little confused, do i need to install from this link https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx-installation-scripts ?

[gleaming rivet]

u can use renodxcommander for automatic installation

[narrow frost]

https://reshade.me/#download
Get the "Download ReShade 6.7.3 with full add-on support".

[narrow frost]

or do this, I personally always do it manually.

[languid shore]

ahh i see, thx guys

[halcyon ibex]

I also have a 5090 and the game is beautiful, but it does have visual glitches with the lighting in some specific areas i'm grateful that at least RenoDX removed the chromatic aberration

[stone comet]

So reno has been working fine and suddenly defender thinks to flag it lol???

[halcyon ibex]

Just click on "recover" on the little arrow below; it's a false positive, or at least I hope so, hehe

[narrow frost]

False positive, it was brought up a few hours ago.
Just allow it, or add it as an exception.
Haven't had it do that personally and I'm too using Windows Defender (no exceptions are being used).

[stone comet]

Yeah did so just really weird it does that after using it for a while lmao

[narrow frost]

Oh speaking of Crimson Desert:
https://youtu.be/1tz4u5oYx_o

[spare quartz]

the eye adaptation reminds me of dirt rally. that game blinded you in VR lol\

[narrow frost]

Enshrouded has the same design choice, straight up flash bang leaving caves etc.

[stone comet]

its deffo a bit excessive

also just realised the rapier you get from chapter 2 boss also keeps his ability

[languid shore]

so i downloaded renodxcommander, put the addon file in bin and game looks the same, how i make it look good like the video here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqyEltwhnCA

[deft pulsar]

I think this game is unplayable with peak brightness on QD-OLED

too much dimming

[wind breach]

does this mod work for you all without issues? Despite getting tons of virus warnings from microdump and allowing it, the game window disappers when activating...maybe a rookie issue..

[harsh stream]

can anyone suggest in game HDR value settings for OLED true black 400 nits please?

[cosmic zenith]

I don't think it's your screen. The game has very aggressive auto exposure/eye adaptation. Even with Reno, everything will become unnaturally dim when in bright areas

I was just at the quarry during the day and I had to jack the exposure up to 2.0 or everything looked super dim

[naive jackal]

I just turned on EOTF boost (yes i know it has its issues) and the brightness was fine

[narrow frost]

Press "Home" on your keyboard, while in the game.

Should open the reshade window, then navigate to the renodx tab (this specific mod is made only for HDR - so in SDR it will not change anything).
All you'll have to change in-game wise, is to turn on HDR & change the UI Brightness to your liking.
Rest is done through RenoDX.

[cloud plover]

maybe the reshade you installed isn't the 'add-on' version

[wispy crown]

Always Gamer 1. Gamer 2 white balance is off and from the reviews it seems like Gamer 1 is more accurate out of the box. It's personal preference though ofc.

[fleet jacinth]

oh boy

[stone comet]

is it really that surprising for a card that struggles with d9/11

[languid shore]

i think it worked thx

[stone comet]

even marathon and bf6 are having issues even though they can technically run on the card

[deft pulsar]

that sucks, so even switching to TB400 wouldn't fix this

shame cause the game in my eyes looks really good, but i'm kinda annoyed that I have 20gb of VRAM and it's using like 7. The pop in is a bit annoying

[tame vault]

Is this a RenoDX setting? Or a screen one?

The dimness in bright areas is a killer.

[worthy kernel]

monitor feature

also exists as a reshade fx

[naive jackal]

@tame vault It's an MSI feature

[tame vault]

Man, I hope I don't end up changing TV settings for 1 game

Maybe lowering peak brightness will help?

[naive jackal]

Not tried the reshade version

[sleek obsidian]

Is there a tutorial about how to install the complete mod?

[tame vault]

To be honest the auto exposure stuff is the only visual issue that is now really bothering me. Somehow I've even got used to pop-in

[tame vault]

Do you know how to install reshade, add-on version?

[sleek obsidian]

i just downloaded that one. but dont know what to select or deselct in the installation menus

[tame vault]

You don't need any of the shaders, you just need to select the game as direct x 12

RenoDX simply uses reshades add-on functionality to inject into the game

[sleek obsidian]

You mean the ''effects''? deselect all?

[tame vault]

So install reshade for the game, you can deselect all the shaders/effects. Then download the RenoDX add-on file from the first pinned comment, then copy it to the game directory where the game executable is.

Launch game.

Press home.

If it has worked, you'll see a RenoDX tab at the end of the reshade menu.

[sleek obsidian]

*Uncheck i mean.

[tame vault]

Yes (sorry it's been years since I've installed via reshade installer)

[sleek obsidian]

ah you said i right. oke thanks, will let you know how i goes.

[narrow frost]

There is a "skip" option in the bottom right side, click that on all the windows it lets you.

[sleek obsidian]

oke done with that, now the pinned comment. how do i get there.

[tame vault]

#1469072401450012774 message

[narrow frost]

The new version is on Github, which you don't need to add the .25 exposure to the default value.

[sterile sable]

So is there a way to force pharalax with RR or you either get not so shit lighting with it disabled OR you get pharalaxx but shit lighting?

[tame vault]

But you should Google how to view pins in discord

[tame vault]

Pinned one is that version isn't it?

[narrow frost]

Nah its the version you need to add 1.25 exposure, it was changed for the Github as the default (shows 1.00 but its actually 1.25).

[tame vault]

I think let's keep it simple for this new user? Shouldn't really matter

[narrow frost]

up to them, if they pick the pinned one they'll have to set the exposure to 1.25 otherwise they are identical.

[sleek obsidian]

the addon download has been blocked due to a virus or something

[tame vault]

Ah that sucks. Mods such as this periodically get falsely flagged. I had the same problem

To use it you will need to temporarily disable your antivirus, or manage it through as an exception

It's a real pain

Clearly that's up to you, but you can absolutely trust the RenoDX community (it's all open source and can be downloaded from GitHub if you'd prefer)

[sleek obsidian]

hm, it is already being flagged in the browser. can't seem to do anything with the file.

Turning of the firewall for a sec does the trick?

[wispy crown]

There's a button where you can say you wanna keep the file. Sometimes it's nested in the context menu on the download page of the browser.

[sleek obsidian]

Got it, thanks.

[stone comet]

It wasnt flagged until like today

[flat delta]

Almost every characters in this game is so dry and boring wow

Even cliff

[stone comet]

Past 2 days or so was completely fine

[tame vault]

I had to completely disable bit defender whilst downloading, then added the game path as an exception

[stone comet]

Ive been using the korean VA and they have way more character honestly

even the side quest characters

Kliff stays the same tho is the funny thing LMAO

[flat delta]

I mean even from a writing standpoint

[stone comet]

oh the writing is a different story

[tame vault]

The English VO isn't that bad. 7/10 maybe? I've found it ok so far

For this sort of game

[stone comet]

Korean ones got a certain goofiness to em that isnt translated into english from what I noticed

imo should be the go to

[flat delta]

The animations seem to be very bad timed as well. Maybe its different if you select korean

[wispy crown]

I honestly think the story is quite fine. Still at the beginning but it motivates me to explore the world more. I feel like side quests are weirdly more interesting than the main story.

[sleek obsidian]

What do i need to turn on? HDR windows and HDR in game?

[tame vault]

Yea

[sleek obsidian]

and HDR on monitor? seems like i have 3 kinds of HDR

[tame vault]

What monitor do you have?

But yes

HDR is HDR.

[wispy crown]

I play in korean because I can speak the language and from what I've seen it seriously isn't much better at all. They certainly tried to get "This is what the western audience likes" right but failed quite a bit.

Also the lip sync doesn't at all improve. It might be even worse in korean? Looks like they used an automated lip sync system that doesn't quite work.

[tame vault]

I feel like the people complaining must not have played many games of this type and scale before

[stone comet]

yeah the lip sync is scuffed for both

[tame vault]

It seems perfectly fine to me

(the English VO)

[wispy crown]

I played MMOs solo quite a lot and honestly that's the experience I get from Crimson Desert, just that it works far far better solo because it's designed to be played like that.

[stone comet]

It honestly 100% feels like where winds meet

[sleek obsidian]

the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM

[stone comet]

And I enjoyed it a lot

[sleek obsidian]

So all 3 HDRs on. if one is off it does not work?

[tame vault]

Correct

[wispy crown]

Normally Windows HDR + Game HDR both on should work.

[sleek obsidian]

Oke, sweet. and on monitor HDR10 or DolbyVision?\

[tame vault]

HDR10 I would expect

You should research best HDR settings for your monitor

[wispy crown]

HDR10 and ingame I would set 203 nits paper white and 1000 nits max brightness. I think that are the renodx defaults anyway.

[tame vault]

Your peak brightness is 1000, which is the RenoDX default anyway

So yeah, you can just leave RenoDX as it is. I would set chromatic aberration and sharpness down to 0 (can't remember if that is default)

[daring orbit]

@lament nymph

[wispy crown]

2% window. 10% window is just 450 (Fuck monitors). The monitor tonemapper should get this right though so I think 203/1000 is the best starting setting.

[viscid wedge]

Yeah I was gonna say PG32UCDM certainly can't do 1000 10% window

[wispy crown]

No monitor can I think

[tame vault]

Out of my depth there, I play on an s95d tv

[wispy crown]

Bro your HDR is so much better than any HDR monitor out there

[viscid wedge]

TV's as a monitor gang 💪

[wispy crown]

Yeah I have a 45GX950A which is close enough I don't mind playing on a monitor in comparison to my living room LG G3.

Still the G3 can look a lot better in some scenes.

[tawny ravine]

That's a shame I was looking into playing with Korean VA's but if not even the lipsync is done correctly then I don't see the point. Does the story and characters get any better the more you play?

[wispy crown]

I only played till the third chapter. The story is honestly just the backdrop from what I've seen. Take your time and go exploring and the game really clicks.

[viscid wedge]

I'm about 17 hours in, midway through Chapter 2 (i'm running around doing a bunch of random side quests) but I have absolutely no idea whats going on in the story.

[daring orbit]

I remember playing starfield and coping, telling myself that the story would really pick up at some point

[stone comet]

story so far is just doing random shit helping out while searching for your comrades nothing insane LOL

[tawny ravine]

Honestly will probably wait for a sale since I don't see myself being invested enough to finish such a massive game if my only goal is to explore the map. But thanks for the info

[stone comet]

found a slightly bugged spot 💀

[wispy crown]

I think that's the best way. The game has a lot of problems. If it's not 100% the type of game you enjoy you should wait.

[daring orbit]

Also to carry all the cats

[daring orbit]

Holy shit this really is a skyrim mod list

[tawny ravine]

I sank 80 hours into that game and when I got to the end of the game my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined

It's such a mid game

[real lark]

im having isues with renoDX steams saying runnign and fans are going started but no icon on the taskbar or tab

[wispy crown]

Btw did Forge just vanish? I thought he is close to fixing the entire game

[stone comet]

it's even worse when it's a massive company like bethesda making absolute dogshit such as starfield

the amount of a pass that game got is insane

[daring orbit]

Yeah i got to the part where i had to go to the "unity" and i was like "fuk you Todd" and uninstalled the game

[tawny ravine]

They really should change their writing team or lead or something because most of the quests are written so badly

[crude marsh]

well on that train of thought they should also change the entire engine team

[wispy crown]

I think the individuals worked on that game are quite good people. It was probably management rather than the writing team.

[real lark]

with out the engine it would be bGS game tho

[daring orbit]

Pearl abyss or Bethesda😆

[real lark]

wouldnt

[tawny ravine]

This is probably my favorite video when you compare the two you realise just the difference in how competent the studios are. When I got into the night club I was like wtf is this
https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw?is=jQUP5r5hAwjSf3-a

[crude marsh]

yes

[stone comet]

the fact that people even compare starfield to cyberpunk lmao

[sleek obsidian]

i have no idea what i need to do once it is running on PC.
Do i need to select Daltonize and Deband etc?

[nova cargo]

both have way too little people

[tawny ravine]

Yeah I would agree on that. They aren't a horrible studio by any means. It probably is their engine and management limiting them

[crude marsh]

nah

its the renodx tab

[nova cargo]

hitman's night club

[wispy crown]

I would cut Pearl Abyss some slack. They at least tried with a new engine and without any big industry veterans. It's astonishing what they achieved isn't it? Also no loading screens, shader comp stutters or traversal stutters for such a huge world.

[sleek obsidian]

hm that tap does not exist. not sure where it went wrong.

tab

[nova cargo]

did you install the addon version of reshade

[daring orbit]

Getting rid of the POM definitely helps textures..imo

[sleek obsidian]

yes!

and drag and dropped the download from the pinned in the crimson desert folder

[nova cargo]

might be another windows under the main reshade window

check if there's a checkbox for renodx in the addons tab in reshade

[sleek obsidian]

I dont have RenoDX stated there

[viscid wedge]

steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64\

[wispy crown]

Where is your .addon file? It should be in bin64

Next to the "dxgi.dll" file

[daring orbit]

I dont see how you fix these leaves and these god awful lods

[sleek obsidian]

hm not sure what went wrong. the file had been deleted somehow.

[sharp egret]

Chat, I'm having trouble getting the addon to load in reshade. Starting the game loads reshade, reshade warns me that an addon couldn't be loaded, proceeds to delete the addon from the game folder

[hardy owl]

no news yet about upcoming fixes?

[daring orbit]

No

[sharp egret]

It was working yesterday, no longer working today

[muted crow]

i just had to reinstall it, then it worked. btw, my windows defender said its a virus 🤷‍♂️

[crude marsh]

The lack of stuttering is nice I guess, but it would be nice if it.... rendered literally anything up to modern standards. It is easily the most technically busted game in some time in terms of graphics. You can call it "optimized" but their strategy was just minimum quality everything, low res, no shadows, RT barely works, streaming budget is next to 0, foliage is from like 2020, POM is broken... idk. I mean props for the game being a game and playable I guess.

[sleek obsidian]

When starting the game i deletes the addon in the bin map

[crude marsh]

whitelist the folder in defender, sounds like defender is false flagging and deleting

[hardy owl]

can you do something about the Lods or is it too hard?

[crude marsh]

I have been trying, but Denuvo is making it painful

[stone comet]

BDO in the same engine has a shit ton of pop in as well but that one's more understandable since it's like over a decade old at this point

[hardy owl]

the fact that they decided to add that cancer in the last moment, what a shitshow man

[crude marsh]

trying to find things in memory to modify is not going well

and when I modify the meshes they stop rendering correctly

[hardy owl]

and all of it because of denuvo?

without denuvo it would be much easier?

[crude marsh]

without denuvo finding the objects in memory would be a lot easier

[hardy owl]

fucking hell man

[crude marsh]

and their integrity checks on files are also difficult to work with

[hardy owl]

so i guess you and forge will just give up on this game at this point right?

[daring orbit]

Ngl im getting my 100 hours and duckin out

[crude marsh]

forge is using a strategy that will 100% work, probably

modifying and replacing shaders is going to work

[hardy owl]

and which improvements could we expect from him?

better shadows?

[crude marsh]

shadows, POM, raytracing

fix for the black in the top left quadrant of the screen perhaps

also maybe removing VRS

[daring orbit]

Fuk me it did freeze last night

[hardy owl]

well thats better than nothing but honestly yesterday I was playing the whole day almost since I am on holidays, and the LOD is completely busted, specially when riding a horse, things like npcs, houses, lights etc they load just in front of you. It reminds me to Rise of the Ronin, it just doesnt look good. Its extremely dissapointing that the pc version doesnt have an option to push the LOD further

[daring orbit]

Should have gone up mt shasta, oh well

[hardy owl]

you cant make an open world and make buildings and houses appear in front of the player while riding a horse, its ridiculous

[sharp egret]

@crude marsh sorry to ping but can you help with my reshade problem 🙏

[hardy owl]

what do you need my friend, maybe i can help you

[sharp egret]

I replied to my own message for easy access

[sleek obsidian]

@viscid wedge @wispy crown @nova cargo @tame vault @crude marsh Thanks for the help ive got it working now!!

[hardy owl]

okay did you install reshade with addon support

[sharp egret]

Yes

[hardy owl]

okay and where did you put the addon file in the games folder

[sharp egret]

with the exe and dxgi

[hardy owl]

make a screenshot

[sharp egret]

Of my game folder?

[hardy owl]

yes

[daring orbit]

You gotta white list the reno dx add on in windows defender

Probably just the whole folder

[hardy owl]

it is installed correctly

it should work when you launch the game

try what sam said

[sharp egret]

My reshade log says otherwise and it deletes the addon everytime I load

[sleek obsidian]

Yea got the same problem. i allowed that file in the security options in windows.

[hardy owl]

and still doesnt work?

[sleek obsidian]

now i works

i wont be deleted

it*

[hardy owl]

then daydreamer must do the same thing

[sharp egret]

@sleek obsidian it's not an app, how'd you do it? or did you add crimson desert as the exception?

[crude marsh]

maybe ill see if I can somehow find all the mappings for in game settings

[sleek obsidian]

got the windows security

[hardy owl]

I think you can add a whole folder into exception

[sleek obsidian]

its dutch but on the bottom of this screen

instellingen beheren.

[hardy owl]

meaning?

[sleek obsidian]

scroll down. to uitsluitingen .

[daring orbit]

Ngl the story in this game make skyrim look like it was written by Fyodor Dostoevsky

[sleek obsidian]

the go to the file in the where you put the addon

in bin64 - renoDX

[crude marsh]

finding what "ultra" maps to for a setting and changing it perhaps

[sharp egret]

did you do the individual addon file or the whole bin64 folder?

[stone comet]

the quests in chapter 3 are just immediately better its so weird

[sleek obsidian]

just the individual

[daring orbit]

Just the add on should fine

[crude marsh]

hey find my lost cow and listen to me for 3 minutes, and then later listen to me again for 2 minutes

[sharp egret]

@sleek obsidian

[stone comet]

LOL yeah its really weird they chose to go that way for 2 entire chapters

[daring orbit]

Bruh thats what we are tryin to tell ya

[sleek obsidian]

oke then maybe turn of this setting during the progress.

realtime beveiliging

[crude marsh]

next on the list.... find my lost goat

[gilded gate]

sorry, i am new in the server, could someone explain me where is the addon64 file for this game?

[crude marsh]

pins

[viscid wedge]

maybe i should stop procrastinating and just blast through the main story quests in chapter 2

[daring orbit]

Oh i kicked that stupid whiney kid

[stone comet]

100% focus on the main story for now and a bit less exploring

[sharp egret]

Sorry I'm a dumbass... when I originally looked it wasn't in my defender logs and this problem only happened today when it was working yesterday

[daring orbit]

Ugh thats annoying

Did it quarantine it?

The addon?

[sleek obsidian]

My sliders are not working /: *nvm got it working

[stone comet]

defender started flagging it so try to give it a pass + crimson desert folder

only started happening today

[sharp egret]

It did but only when I launched the game, so it was weird that it wasn't just taking it from my downloads folder too

Everything seems to be working now

[stone comet]

🔥

[sharp tundra]

Any last version of mod?

[stone comet]

pins so far

they still working on it for some extra stuff

[faint bobcat]

I am working on adding hue correction for light sources

to stop pink flames

just I need to fix decomp shaders

because rn it deletes lighting

then I can also take a look at fixing the black terrain thing

where it leaks through meshes

[silent pike]

anyone has fix for Black bars that appears with HDR and DLAA+RR open same time?

[sharp tundra]

I belive dlaa broken. Many posts on Reddit and i myself got top screen tearing/artefact then dlaa is on

Like this
https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1ryeb8d/major_graphics_glitch/

[final imp]

Same would love to use dlaa + rr + fg. Always get the black bar, I noticed once time after flicking settings a bunch and back it went away, but restarting the game brought it back

[stone comet]

I dont get those for w/e reason

I cant run DLAA but havent gotten them when i switch to it

[covert ruin]

yeah definitely. don’t know how they made 1 and 2 so incoherent

[hardy owl]

I am actually using DLDSR with DLSS and the game looks super clean with it

[true dagger]

i cant see any rain at all even at DLAA RR Off, DLSS balanced RR on, no matter what the rain is literally almost invisible wtf

[stone comet]

Its like almost a blur right?

[true dagger]

oh and it fixed itself when i turned RR back on lmao

its visible now just kinda artifacty around some bushes or trees

[twilit nymph]

do you particle effect slider turned down?

[true dagger]

nope, at 100

[covert ruin]

does the slider down remove rain?

[twilit nymph]

yeah

[hardy owl]

Hey guys the reno addon is giving me error when loading the game even though yesterday it was totally fine. Anyone knows what's going on?

[stone comet]

check windows defender maybe?

it started getting flagged today

[gilded gate]

i installed reshade \w addon support, and copied the renodx-crimsondesert.addon64 file inside the game executable folder, there is something else that should be done?

i still have foilage shimmering with upscaler, there already is some way for fix this?

[next knot]

im having the same issue

[mortal wolf]

addon is getting popular fast, false positives in your AV software

[hardy owl]

I have put the game's folder in exclusions.

Is that the way to fix this problem?

[mortal wolf]

the problem on your PC? not from this side

[hardy owl]

I dont understand. The mod was working fine yesterday. How do I fix this not working now

[next knot]

i was able to "allow the threat" in windows defender

[mortal wolf]

whatever AV you're using has to treat it as trusted. not sure what AV you have

https://oopydoopy.github.io/renodx/renodx-crimsondesert.addon64 should be the same file and auto generated from https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx/actions/runs/23371971519/job/68000772410

[hardy owl]

I use Windows defender I guess. I dont have any anti virus other than that one

[mortal wolf]

we can't control AV hallucinations

[hardy owl]

Okay I fixed it. So I allowed CD folder on Steam into exclusions. Then I went to the CD folder and added agen reno addon. Now it works back

It seems Windows Defender deletes the file from the folder be careful

[viscid wedge]

Yep, just had to futz around with defender exclusions after it was deleting the file from even my downloads folder when I was trying to move it. All good now, we're back in business

[hardy owl]

Windows 11 was a mistake

[viscid wedge]

what does that have to do with anything?

[lucid shoal]

I never exclude a folder

Just do a single file if needed

[viscid wedge]

I tried to exclude the file itself, it would fail saying it couldn't because it was a virus

#grok fix

[crude marsh]

I am just capturing chunks of memory, changing in game setting, and comparing snapshots

[faint bobcat]

[karmic void]

Yesterday I watched 2 hours video of @mortal wolf in this channel Plasma TV. Really nice stuff, but he should try not to interrupt u when u are getting to some interesting points, cause it's annoying. Is this channel a good channel to follow?

[mortal wolf]

thanks, for crimson desert, yeah. though we rarely ping anybody for anything

[karmic void]

u should do some more ov this videos, even by yourself sir

cause they are very interesting

and I learned a lot just from this video alone

[ocean atlas]

SF club reminds me of the bland/empty Mass Effect 1 club with the cringe man-dancing. Everyone in CP is clearly having a banging time tho - no contest! 🙂

[karmic void]

and also u are very clear with your way of explaining stuff

I think many people would be interested

[south knot]

Anyone has big sttuter when exiting the menus into the game with FrameGen ON?

[hardy owl]

@crude marsh i sent you a private message 💪

[mortal wolf]

thanks, i'll keep it in mind.

[viscid robin]

Is the WIP mod sufficient, or is it better to wait for the full release?

[crude marsh]

current mod is already much better especially cause you can disable CA and sharpening

[viscid robin]

Awesome will check it out thanks 🙏

[tawny ravine]

Ya it feels like no one working on the game ever went to a club

[long stag]

any chance to make it work on SDR? (CA is destroying my eyes)

[crude marsh]

supposedly that works I think

[long stag]

doesn't seem to work unfortunately (at least CA slider, i think the sharpening one does work)

[rich zephyr]

guys

what is ,,the abyss" and where did it came from? what do they want? do our heros get our special abilities and magic powers from the abyss?

i dont get a single word whats happening in the story xD

[golden scaffold]

GamingTech found the vanilla HDR exposure on his G4 sometimes too dark and he wants to increase it? Wtf? Bro... 💀 The game is way too bright as is, specially in vanilla

[crude marsh]

lol

[golden scaffold]

This guy's really likes BRIGHT

[crude marsh]

dude literally wants to be blinded

[golden scaffold]

Make sure you add DTM to further enhance that autoexposure

[rough granite]

this dude is editing a PAZ directly : https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/56

shouldnt he encounter similar issues than you do? the game not being happy about changes?

[crude marsh]

you can edit a paz directly

it just has to be exactly the same size

I have edited quite a few thus far

[jade spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-abbreviation-cyberpunk-gif-27287291

[rough granite]

any chance to share tools used to edit?

[sick monolith]

is it possible to make walk speed as fast as jog(tap x) speed?

[stone comet]

theres a mod to just hold shift

but there's a jog where you hold shift and a run where you tap it

[sick monolith]

the problem is you want to hold shift running around every single time?

[ruby crown]

The auto exposure does get weirdly very dark in some places lol

[crude marsh]

I could probably package up something to unpack and decompress

repacking is..... iffy

[sick monolith]

he has a g4. it's not bright as other tvs

[golden scaffold]

It's pretty damn bright. I was playing at 1500 cap and 150 game brightness on S95F with Reno. Without Reno it's eye searing even on these settings

[crude marsh]

yeah they really fucked the brightness in vanilla

[sick monolith]

it depends on the room. he plays in a bright room i think

my tv is 3k nits yeah it's eye searing when the lights are off. but when they're on, the hdr impact is gone

[left quest]

why does my pc identify a virus in the renodx download for this game

[golden scaffold]

It assumes it may be one

[viscid wedge]

windows defender being annoying today, have to add the game folder into the exclusion list

[golden scaffold]

It doesn't know the file that's all

[vivid iris]

Why is this addon suddenly seen as a virus

[faint bobcat]

too popular

[golden scaffold]

I've seen it happen before being falsely flagged

[faint bobcat]

Pearl hired the Rothschilds to shut it down

[vivid iris]

Yeah I just don’t think it usually becomes one a couple days later

[golden scaffold]

Could have been his browser (chrome loves to do that) , add-on or another system defense tool they might be using

[sick monolith]

200k using the addon probably

[vivid iris]

Frankly it’s weird how much this thread has been popping off with new users when the only public advertisement for it from us has been the plasma stream

[worthy kernel]

plasma has too much aura

[finite anchor]

guys!? false positive?

[golden scaffold]

I think a lot of ppl know or can tell HDR/lighting in this game is off and want to fix it

[golden scaffold]

As I said very likely to be an external tool false flag

[finite anchor]

tought so

[blazing ledge]

Variant.Tedy sounds cute

[viscid wedge]

man, today is going to be rough in here lol

[golden scaffold]

What app is that?

[golden scaffold]

Yup seen this happen with BitDefender in #1413695723404398674 just days ago

[jade spruce]

Should probably pin a message about it being a false positive. Somehow users always get put at rest when the uploader says: trust me bro it's a false positive.

[golden scaffold]

So far it seems to be a BitDefender exclusive false, any way to report it?

[sick monolith]

btw what's up with games using 300 white instead of 203?

[stone comet]

from what people have said here its preference anyways no?

[sick monolith]

it is but the standard is 203 as per ITU

[worthy kernel]

it's standard for "light-controlled rooms"

which isn't relevant

https://old.reddit.com/r/HDR_Den/comments/1rwvd20/about_hdr_paper_white_hdr_reference_white_level/

300 is probably preferable for a lot of people playing in their living room

ultimately it's just "use whatever is comfortable for you"

[sick monolith]

yeah it totally ruins the experience for low nit monitors even when they turn off lights. 300 white then 600 highlight peak for example

[vivid iris]

done

[crude marsh]

dmed you a paz unpacker

[amber blade]

Just jumped in the game, installed renodx and was absolutely shocked at how bad it looks without it. This is the worst dlss and RT i've ever seen. The pop in of small foliage and terrain is insane...there's little rocks popping into existence in front of my feet

[crude marsh]

yeah, this game is on the very low end of modern rendering

[amber blade]

no kidding

[crude marsh]

RTGI is really only super notable with RR enabled

as it forces a much higher sample count and enables restir for some reason

[amber blade]

i don't even think they can fix it, looks like the engine is ass

[amber blade]

might have to try that

[crude marsh]

ye would require rewriting a lot of stuff

[stark meteor]

i'm getting an error code 225 trying to load the addon with reshade 6.7.3, anyone got that?

[crude marsh]

at the very least they could allow bumping up the streaming budgets, draw distances, and LODs

[amber blade]

what's puzzling to me, is that none of the pre-release pc footage looked this bad...did they nerf it before release so that i can actually run on gpus below the 5070ti lol

[crude marsh]

idk but it feels like playing like an xbox version or something

[final imp]

pop in is really getting to me now

[amber blade]

that's actually an apt comparison

it breaks any semblance of immersion for me. It's way too noticeable

[crude marsh]

it causes me a lot of eye strain with how much things constantly change/flicker/pop, super distracting

havent been able to actually find a way to change the values in memory cause denuvo 🙁

and it doesnt seem like these things are editable in the game assets

maybe I could put the paz unpacker on nexus or something though

[stone comet]

wouldnt hurt

[faint bobcat]

actual xbox gameplay be like

https://tenor.com/view/no-pixels-cant-see-ben-chang-community-ken-jeong-gif-17361588

[golden scaffold]

My friends playing on (base) ps5 at 40 fps in performance mode with no upscale or RT "it's fine the game is great! Idk what you're talking about. I don't need that flashy HDR or raytracing to blind me"

Literal words that were said

The situation is so bad they recommend to not use performance mode at all (but those guys still do and didn't even try others and say it's fine lol)

Guys

Wtf just happened

My RenoDX for the game got deleted I'm not joking

It's just not there anymore

[mortal wolf]

antivirus

[worthy kernel]

all consoles have RT... (except series s)

[mortal wolf]

mod is spreading so fast, windows thinks it's a virus

[golden scaffold]

I don't have BitDefender

Goddamn it

Actually from windows defender now?

[mortal wolf]

yes

[golden scaffold]

From what I understand it doesn't use RT in perf mode

[worthy kernel]

it does

[crude marsh]

I mean the game barely uses RT at cinematic so

[worthy kernel]

well at least it's not completely broken like RT off looks

[jade flame]

Was the same thing with FFXVI and 7 Remake Pt.2
You would play both of those on Quality mode on base PS5 because the image was too trash in Performance Mode & at least you got a stable fps even if it was 30.

[golden scaffold]

Based on how broken indoor lighting becomes without RR I am assuming it uses quite a bit of RT

[crude marsh]

RR is what turns on a significant amount of RTGI

[hidden ivy]

Any idea why the game gets so dark in the field?

[crude marsh]

the sample rate is like 1/8th or 1/16th per pixel without RR

RR makes it 1 sample per pixel

[golden scaffold]

But why is lightig so noisy and unstable if you turn on only RT compared to RT off?

Ah you just answered it

[worn ibex]

How many times have you repeated this btw lmao

[smoky sigil]

still it looks so noisy and blurry with it on i would say at times

[golden scaffold]

First time I'm seeing it

[crude marsh]

forge did pin something

[lucid thorn]

Diffuse GI and Many Lights use 1/16~1 rays per pixel and Specular GI uses 1/4~1 rays per pixel

I uh.. I can't normally add to those conversations

:p

Those were PAs words. I just happened to have that handy

[crude marsh]

do you know how those change with "quality"

I can't figure out a way to map what in game settings actually do

[worn ibex]

How far into the game have you gotten lazorr

[sleek sigil]

where's the addon

cant find it

[lucid thorn]

That I don't know, but this is a timestamped link on a look at what each setting does by hardware unboxed :p dunno if it would help but never know https://youtu.be/9ig5PT5yDDk?t=853&si=q-UpkJh3nKKi3tQi

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/marmota-cooking-hold-up-gif-5382607284931131048

[worn ibex]

I wonder if a fix to the blurriness has been found

[faint bobcat]

pink flames be gone

[faint bobcat]

rework the whole game engine

[worn ibex]

Oh…

[worthy kernel]

port the game to ue5

problem solved

[worn ibex]

What were you doing? Shadows? And hue shift? Iirc

[faint bobcat]

hue shifting via LMS and per channel neutwo just for flames and local light sources

basically fixing them authoring flames to be pink

[crude marsh]

I mean like at an engine level

[lucid thorn]

Can you imagine the traversal stutter tho

[lucid thorn]

Oh that I do not know, sorry 🙁 based on that video though I dunno if many things actually change. Outside of max lighting, which seems to add more than just lighting)

[worthy kernel]

i'd take this over the current visual vomit

[hardy owl]

Have you made any progress on your end?

[lucid thorn]

Oh yeah have you guys noticed that not every setting gets saved to the settings xml?

[worn ibex]

No like, what are your goals for the mod I mean

[worn ibex]

Yeah he modified shadows and did work on hue shifting for flames

[faint bobcat]

fix everything?

I dunno

make the game better

to my abilities

[hardy owl]

But we can't use those fixed yet. They hasn't been released I assume

[naive jackal]

@golden scaffold Indoor lighting is broken for me even with DLSS 4.0 + RR enabled, inside buildings the lighting spazzes out and the ceiling, floors, walls, furniture, regardless of material are all boiling worse than metal tables in UE5 and Northlight games

[viscid wedge]

thats annoying. I needed RR to fix that, and it did

[crude marsh]

interiors in general are not having a good time

[solar bone]

ok why is my Reno not loading since i played yesterday

[crude marsh]

defender

decided to delete it

[viscid wedge]

your antivirus

[naive jackal]

If i switch to DLAA i get flickering black artefacts across the top of the screen and the entire image looks massively oversharpened

[solar bone]

thought i stopped defender from touching my shit

microsoft and their tricks

[worn ibex]

Aight where are the jira tickets

[naive jackal]

this has been since launch so none of it is a reno issue, if anything reno toned the issues down a bit

[viscid wedge]

had to add an exclusion for the game directory

[solar bone]

I turned all that shit off manually yet it still does this

[viscid wedge]

been fine since

[solar bone]

i hate that so much

[jade flame]

DLAA + HDR has been broken since game launch

[faint bobcat]

Vanilla / modified

@mortal wolf

uhh I dunoo why the cloth went black

need to fix that

[naive jackal]

Actually iirc didn't Jedi Survivor have issues with having HDR and DLSS or DLAA enabled as well?

[mortal wolf]

i'm still on whack-a-mole

[hardy owl]

@faint bobcat is this fixable? The shadows flickering depending on the camera angles

[faint bobcat]

not shadow caused

its their dogshit screenspaced displacement mapping

[hardy owl]

And can you fix it? Or is it impossible?

This effect is annoying me so much while playing

[mortal wolf]

@faint bobcat best so far

[faint bobcat]

when I get around to it, maybe

[teal pumice]

everything is possible, just wait and trust

[hardy owl]

I'll give you a kiss if you do it

[median plover]

That “bag” literally went from gray to black

[golden scaffold]

That sounds exactly like what RR fixes for me

[faint bobcat]

decomp issue, need to fix

[viscid wedge]

@naive terrace had an issue yesterday with a shadow indoors freaking out with RR on. Just restarted their game it was fixed. #1469072401450012774 message

[median plover]

Black looks better, let it 😂

[wintry hound]

Hello, does the chromatic abberration disabling work in sdr or does it require hdr turned on? I kind of want to play with pulsar.

[vivid iris]

it works with SDR

[wintry hound]

thanks

[tender crown]

I'm sorry but where is the link/file to download RenoDX for Crimson Desert?

[viscid wedge]

in the pins

[tender crown]

Thank you!

[daring orbit]

Lol does this game have a fukin memory leak or some bullshit😆

I swear to god i played for hours with full gpu utilization now im stuck at like 70-80 percent

[worn ibex]

That’s not a memory leak

Memory leak would mean your vram/ram usage keeps going up until it crashes

What’s likely happening is cpu thermal throttling

[solar bone]

Is there a way to get rid of that shitty filter on top of things especially when inside? It's so disruptive when it looks like there's smoke over everything

looks like a reflection coming off everything

[faint bobcat]

what filter

[solar bone]

this shit

[dire pilot]

that's boiling, it's a feature, not a bug

[solar bone]

i hate it

so much

[faint bobcat]

thats their temu RTGI

[stone comet]

I just noticed im having the same thing happen

[dire pilot]

denoising indoors is completely broken

[stone comet]

Im deffo not thermal throttling

[worn ibex]

Oh yeah bro I had this in the first scene and I thought my eyes were going bad

[shut badge]

yeah its really fucking annoying

[solar bone]

everything is just ass indoors lmao

[worn ibex]

I think this is a wait for sale game

[sleek veldt]

I was gonna say LOL

[worn ibex]

Maybe I should buy ghost of Yōtei

[viscid wedge]

the models

[solar bone]

the gameplay is fine if you can get past the ridiculous graphics stuff

[frosty fulcrum]

I've already put over 20 hours into this game

[molten wind]

Hey Guys.. where can I download the Renodx for crinson desert??

[daring orbit]

Cpu is at 60% 58degrees

[molten wind]

sorry I can't find the link

[frosty fulcrum]

On github or in the pins

[viscid wedge]

check pinned posts

[sleek veldt]

Why does turning off the POM or toggling it mess with waterfalls?

[molten wind]

Sorry i am new here..

where are the PIns?

[solar bone]

top right

[molten wind]

ohhhh

hot it..

got it

many many thanks

it says Virus detected :d

[viscid wedge]

yep

[neon whale]

yeah it's a false positive, need to restore it and then add it as exeption

[molten wind]

strange it does not even allow me to restore

[stone comet]

sometimes happens if youre not quick enough
