[smoky brook]

huh didnt know about this thanks 🙏

[faint bobcat]

I havent done anything

[lament nymph]

nuke huey?

[faint bobcat]

I have already forgot the controls

[warm scroll]

just to be certain, we want DLSS ray reconstruction ON?

[outer furnace]

if you have a gpu that can handle it...

I have a 5070ti and I'd have to resort to ultra performance if I want 60fps before framegen

[warm scroll]

and for this

[outer furnace]

so not worth for me

[warm scroll]

is max brightness our monitors nits? e.g. 1000 nits

cause its at 250 default...

[daring orbit]

Reno dx handles that

[outer furnace]

yes but you can leave it, set it in renodx

[warm scroll]

ahh ok

[shut badge]

fuck beauty lights

[faint bobcat]

**I LUV TILED DEFERRED **

So I suspect this is caused by the game spawning a new permutation (based on either settings or GPU vendor) one tiled shader is using code and the other is vanilla so there is a mismatch

Disable rendering toggles until the issue goes away

[shut badge]

all my homies hate beauty lights

[warm scroll]

where in here is max nits setting? @outer furnace @daring orbit

i usually see a max brightness

[shut badge]

beauty lights straight up make any game look worse if the character is wearing metallic armor

mh wilds being a prime example

the characters all look yassified

[wise flax]

@warm scroll Is hdr on? There should be a Tone Mapping section at the top with Peak Brightness and the tone mapper...

[outer furnace]

btw are we sure 203 paper white is the way to go here? even in a dark room it looks a tad too dim to me... 250 looks right

[viscid wedge]

Its up to you

[jade flame]

I've also been using 250

[warm scroll]

ah! it took me having to reboot the game

[restive roost]

Depends on your max nits and personal preference

[viscid wedge]

been shared a bunch but has some very good explainers for why there is no "correct" setting for everyone on every display in all environments https://www.reddit.com/r/HDR_Den/comments/1rwvd20/about_hdr_paper_white_hdr_reference_white_level/

[daring orbit]

Yea i adjust that depending on the game, and what time of day

[hollow pollen]

Still crashing whenever frame gen is enabled with Reno and reshade. I’ve tried 6.7.1 and 6.7.3. Whenever I disable frame gen the game works just fine. Scratching my head here

Nvidia card

[viscid wedge]

I was having that issue but only with SpecialK. Stopped using SK and no more issues.

[frosty fulcrum]

is the Switch 2 version?

[outer furnace]

also getting more frequent crashes suddenly, im gonna try turning my GPU UV off (which is usually stable everywhere elese) and hope that helps

[hollow pollen]

Mine insta crashes whenever enabling it. If I enable from the main menu it will crash just as cliff is about to get up from the nexus

[viscid wedge]

in 30 hours i've only had one actual crash while playing. Surprised, given the state of things.

[frosty fulcrum]

Game is surprisingly stable in that regard. Zero crashes or any gamebreaking bugs

[dire pilot]

just got to the ocean and the way the water displaces against the rocks is actually really nice - rare W for PA

[lucid urchin]

noob question here.. if I'm using this mod, should I disable HDR in the in-game settings?

[true dagger]

ive had 0, like its very stable for me

[hollow pollen]

Yeah my game is completely stable too, unless I enable frame gen

[true dagger]

no, keep it enabled, reno takes over

[sleek veldt]

Bird caught a fish

[jade flame]

Anyone else have the black box artifacts around some characters with the new RenoDX for CD?

[viscid wedge]

Nope

[dire pilot]

it's only crashed on me once when I bought the suplex upgrade. It was afraid of the power I was about to unleash.

[lucid thorn]

That happened in front of me I didn't know what was happening

[novel kayak]

What’s everyone using for Reno settings? I feel like using sharpening really helps

[lucid thorn]

I feel like a lot are turning it off

[viscid wedge]

Yep. Off, then a little RCAS

[deft pulsar]

mmm

[true dagger]

Sharpening off, DLSS Sharpening forced to 0 with SK (default is 0.35), and RCAS on top

[lucid thorn]

I've found that the sharpening doesn't work with optiscaler but it has its own so I can turn it off through that

[lucid urchin]

what camera mod are you using?

oh, CDCamera..

[dire pilot]

well I got a fish helmet so the game can't do anything wrong anymore

[shadow river]

Hey guys I'm new here. Where is the link for the crimson desert version ?

Duh, TY

[wise flax]

Does the camera mod improve lock on tracking?

That's one of my biggest issues is lock on is damn near pointless

[lucid thorn]

There's two lock ons!

[deft pulsar]

there's loc on tracking?

[true dagger]

there is? i only lock on when holding LB

[lucid thorn]

Which lock on are you doing

[wise flax]

bottom d pad

[lucid thorn]

Down on dpad or caps lock on keeb

[wise flax]

its garbage

[true dagger]

oh

[lucid thorn]

I'll be honest though I haven't locked on in a bit

[wise flax]

is there even a way to switch between targets with lock on?

[lucid thorn]

If there is I haven't found out

[viscid wedge]

the vanilla system, probably because you're often fighting groups of enemies, just seems to go by who you're looking at

[wise flax]

It's super annoying. I'm starting to get used to playing without lock on, but having proper lock on and target switching would make the game feel much better imo.

[lucid urchin]

what camera style are yall using in CDCamera

[lucid thorn]

Definitely worth investigating. Holding guard is the soft lock and re-pressing it should focus on nearest threat, but because enemies surround me I've gotten used to the flow of holding r1/f2 and aiming with left stick

[novel kayak]

Damn were the torches/lights really supposed to be blue with vanilla settings? Or is that bug? Looks way better using recommended settings lol

[viscid wedge]

There is a type of light you can buy in game called an "ice light" or "night blue" something or other. they're meant to look that way.

One of the vendors sells both "temperature" lights

[novel kayak]

I mean all lights. With the newest Reno, if you select "vanilla" for graphics settings every light in the game turns blue lol

i see guards walking with blue torches right now

[viscid wedge]

[deft pulsar]

nah that is not supposed to happen haha😭

[lucid thorn]

What do those graphics settings do in Reno

[vivid iris]

That’s my fault, I set torch sat to the wrong value for vanilla. Should have been 50

[lucid thorn]

Those look similar

[lament nymph]

this entire's place shadows are fked

they keep moving

when do we get to learn avada kedavra

[dire pilot]

that day you learn you can actually go behind waterfalls in this game with a thrust attack

[lament nymph]

shouldn't even need to be doing that, that was stupid game design

waterfall don't push u back 5 meters

[viscid wedge]

you're telling me a game is actually acknowledging the rule that there is always loot behind the waterfalls?

[dire pilot]

if there's one of these little rock formations by the waterfall, there's a cave behind it

[deft pulsar]

did they fix wind animations?

looks like it

[true dagger]

whats the thrust attack

[deft pulsar]

r1+triangle or rb+y

[dire pilot]

you have to unlock it but it's R1 and Y/triangle and you hold it

[viscid wedge]

Y+R1, I think. You need it for a few puzzles too

[deft pulsar]

lmao

rn

rb

[true dagger]

ohhh R1 + Y, ik i use that only during fights but good to know

[deft pulsar]

some puzzles require that also

[true dagger]

didnt know about the waterfalls

[viscid wedge]

I tried that like 5-6 times on that Reed boss, missed every time. Then again my boss fights usually consist of button mashing, panic and lots of health packs

[dire pilot]

spear thrust gives you the most distance

[jade flame]

Ok. I reinstalled ReShade and I have no other filters on. Just Reno.

This is an HD recording of the error I am getting.
https://youtu.be/f3-Ru2qogKI

[dire pilot]

and the spear counter is OP

[daring orbit]

Just like in khazan

[plain fractal]

@true dagger Is SK worth using in this game? And if so what changes/settings do you recommend?

[dire pilot]

just use display commander since you're already using reshade

[true dagger]

in this game i mostly use it to take screenshots, pace native frames and to force off DLSS Sharpening

[viscid wedge]

I just liked SK's graphs, but my only real use of it was the screenshots. I stopped using it in this game recently and didn't really lose anything.

[true dagger]

but i always like having it on hand ready when playing any single games

[upper sun]

now my dlss is somehow intermittently just not upscaling SUS~1 randomly just goes full potato quality

[plain fractal]

What DLSS Settings do you use?

[true dagger]

DLSS Quality, FG on

im on 3440x1440

[viscid wedge]

so, interesting bit about that. I fired up RenoDX Commander and got an update. The update installed UPST (Ultra+ Support Tool). I guess this is replacing RDXC? It also mentions that DisplayCommander is no longer supported and in its place something called Ultra Limiter was added.

[plain fractal]

Nice, im using the same but for 16:9 1440P. Do you use a DLSS Preset override? (K,M... etc.)

[vivid iris]

dlss sharpening shouldn't be a thing in this. That's referring to a sharpening feature from dlss versions older than 2.5.1

[ruby tusk]

I use the same

max settings

[lucid thorn]

And that there's a tell on which ones you can go thru

[lucid thorn]

Ye this

[true dagger]

well im playing with RR, so i was testing Preset E RR, but i think i might go back to default because it has its issues in this game

[dire pilot]

weird, I don't use RDXC, I just manually install everything lol

[ruby tusk]

E fucks up my cutscenes and has weird shadows

[true dagger]

oh does it not? Kal added a new feature in one of the newer nightly builds and it reported me the sharpening at 0.35, i can show u

[plain fractal]

Does the RR Override work now?

[viscid wedge]

One of those times I wish I was still at 3440x1440. Easy to drive!

[vivid iris]

maybe I'm out of the loop on what sk is tapping into

nvidia docs recommend integrating nis sharpening with dlss but not a lot of games do it. I guess it could be possible that that's in here

maybe sk can tap into that, I don't know

[crude marsh]

DLSS sharpening shouldn't exist in 4.0+

[lucid thorn]

Is it bad?

[crude marsh]

it was removed afaik

definitely at the very least deprecated

[lucid thorn]

Oh I see. Interesting 🤔

[true dagger]

maybe i misread something lmao i cant find it now wtf

[crude marsh]

I haven't seen it work in a UE game since 4.0

[true dagger]

but ik cyberpunk has DLSS sharpening slider even with RR Transformer model

and i remember it did make a difference in the image, i instantly saw it

so not sure if thats on accident

[vivid iris]

cyberpunk is one of the games that integrated NIS

[crude marsh]

it could also be doing something else like NIS yeah

[viscid wedge]

@crude marsh I guess this is just completely replacing RDXC? #1469072401450012774 message

[vivid iris]

and NIS suuuucks

[true dagger]

ahhh i see

[crude marsh]

yeah some things happened and it needed to be renamed

[vivid iris]

it's not the worst in the world in SDR but in HDR it's a nightmare

[true dagger]

it got turned on for me on accident after i was doing smth with my mods

and i was like why tf is the game so sharp out of nowhere

so it was running NIS+Rcas

[golden scaffold]

What even is a RenoDX commander? Sounds like something I could use as well

[viscid wedge]

Well its just been renamed but here is the description.

[daring orbit]

Im just going to keep doing it manually

[golden scaffold]

How will it interact with already installed stuff and how does it juggle multiple versions of addons (universal unreal, unity and their updates?)

[viscid wedge]

I've only used it for a little while and it detects existing builds of ReShade and at least in some games, RenoDX. I'm not sure about the other stuff

[plain fractal]

Is this the correct setting if I want to limit native frames (real frames before FG) to 60?

[karmic void]

@faint bobcat fixing the exposure made the game finally playable

love u to the moon

I still think it's dim tough

can u unslop it a bit more?

[vocal delta]

Preset K (4.0) and preset M (4.5) are both good for dlss performance setting, but M is a tiny bit more demanding while looking a little bit better ^^

[vivid iris]

autoexposure isn't done yet

didn't make it into the build, it still had some bugs

[faint bobcat]

placebo be like

anyways

I think I am nearly done with it

vanilla / modifed

🥀

[final imp]

Where puredark at, can he fix dlss

[karmic void]

Lol, I don't see fluctuating like before? Iam I trippin?

[worn ibex]

Does the game look good now folks

[fresh sparrow]

Lovely work, really like this second shot.

[faint bobcat]

@mortal wolf their auto exposure is doing something wierd

look at the glowing stones

clamp highlights

bloom might just be some threshold detection

[karmic void]

@vivid iris something must have changed

[jade spruce]

yeah was about to point out the stones

[mossy gust]

looks great, can't believe how bright lights are

[vivid iris]

I mean the white point thing helps a little bit

[crude marsh]

auto white balance

disabling it helps a LOT

[karmic void]

here we go, I'm not blind

it does big time

[golden scaffold]

It's some other stuff they fixed actually (that also makes it look a lot better), exposure still wip

[digital elbow]

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01HXS7YCWG0001PYJSAFPXWAK7/4x.avif

[karmic void]

@crude marsh I've noticed one weird thing. Some animals pop in at certain distance. But after they spawn if u go back they don't pop in like before

[daring orbit]

Someone needs to mod in a food limit

And a cooldown for food

[crude marsh]

I am about to give up entirely on this LOD endeavor

how fucking hard can it possibly be TO CHANGE THE DAMN DISTANCES

[digital quest]

@faint bobcat You did the rendering improvements with everything cranked up right? Just wanna reduce the chance of having different permutations before trying it

[faint bobcat]

yes

the square tiles bug that has been posted here

is probably new shader perm

maybe they decided to also use lambert

for sun light or something

one tile is working

and the other shader is new

hence a mistmatch happens

guess even SDRlets will get to enjoy this

maybe

[karmic void]

no man, seriously this pop in are literally killing the game for me

pls give me back UE stutters

I swear I can tolerate it much more than this shit

[digital quest]

duality of man

[azure mauve]

how can i download this mod?

[digital quest]

pins

[lament nymph]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1s1q987/hdr_finally_worksgame_is_beautiful_af/

beautiful ...

[faint bobcat]

Good thing we can fix again in the shader that renders the stones

fix one issue

6 more spawn in

repeat until you've fixed the entire game and engine

[azure mauve]

thank you

[mortal wolf]

Can we just extract that number until the lut builder shader? Maybe track the resource descriptor heap value for bindless texture. It's rgba16f render, no reason to boost exposure to keep values in a "safe zone". If anything, the lower the better

Or I guess a 1x1 uav

[faint bobcat]

so the pipeline for their auto exposure is

1. AdaptExposure_0x65CFD284 = this is the shader that controls auto exposure mapping and all

2. Histogram-AWB_0x05A8EA2B

3. ExtractAdaptationTintAWB_0x0413B072

4. LUTbuilder and then tonemapper ect

I removed all the giga boosting they are doing

slightly toned out daytime boosting as well

shouldnt be major shifts now

nights are dark as they should be

[mortal wolf]

is tint grading? or an attempt to AWB?

[faint bobcat]

AWB

[mortal wolf]

funny how in Starfield we turned off the "second sun" that planets had. they never used auto exposure and it was better for it. they just blasted ambient.

[wispy crown]

Why the hell is my game after the patch running so much worse? Hardware Unboxed benchmark says I should get 82 fps cinematic preset 4K native... I currently get 50 fps. Ran fine before the patch

RR Performance and DLSS Frame Gen is 60-70 FPS. No wonder it feels awful to play

[faint bobcat]

They activated the super duper secret LODs patch on your end

[wispy crown]

I wish. Still looks like shit sadly

[daring orbit]

I dont know but for some reason i had to use vrr after the update, and now it seems fine

[lament nymph]

I had vrr always on

[lucid urchin]

sorry another noob question, I keep getting an error when changing settings in the reno mod. I tried changing the folder perms for the game bin64 folder but doesn't seem to help.

unable to save configuration and/or current preset. make sure file permissions are set up to allow writing to these paths and their parent directories:

ReShade.ini
ReShadEPreset.ini

[lament nymph]

for some reasons in the history of my gaming, vrr flickers have never been a thing

[faint bobcat]

or not

decomp fails

[daring orbit]

I never turn on vrr unless i need it

[faint bobcat]

new shader

loadInput.f16 failure

@mortal wolf

So I've fixed exposure

and the moon

and hero light is separate toggle

guess I add glare slider now

then do Psycho LMS for sky

After that improve their grass

[daring orbit]

And fix rain

[faint bobcat]

rain is fixed

RR that is

it doesnt get nuked

I can adjust the shader further I suppose

[daring orbit]

What a time to be alive

[deft pulsar]

i'm at 24 hrs playtime after 4 days

damn

I should stop playing 6h a day

[daring orbit]

Its like mid but addicting

[wispy crown]

Yeah game is extremely flawed and objectively I shouldn't love it as much as I do BUT it's finally something fresh that keeps surprising me in all the good and bad ways.

[deft pulsar]

it scratches the MMO itch but the gameplay is actually quite decent

exploration is rewarding

[crude marsh]

I have spent 1000 hours MAKING NO PROGRESS except for releasing a mod tool

sigh

[mortal wolf]

at a glance saw some uint casting. might be clipping

[wispy crown]

Yeah even the story is quite entertaining in my opinion. I wonder if people actually expected a Witcher 3 or RDR2 story then no wonder they were disappointed. For just setting the scene of the world it works quite well.

[crude marsh]

its really hard to reverse engineer this game

[mortal wolf]

uh is that srgb

[lucid thorn]

Folks absolutely did.

[deft pulsar]

yeah honestly the introduction is so fucking shit it probably put off a lot of people

but it picks up the pace on chapter 3

[lucid thorn]

Intro is so mmo like I vibed with it

[wispy crown]

Yeah I get that feeling but for CP2077. Time flies faster modding than playing the game

[deft pulsar]

I mean I vibed with it but the fact they don't explain fucking anything

like I still don't fucking know what the fuck happened

[wispy crown]

Still in Chapter 2... 12 hours

[deft pulsar]

yeah that's about right, 24 hours and chapter 4

lmao

[azure mauve]

what were pearl abyss thinking with the level of sharpening, this mod has made the game look so much better holy

[wispy crown]

I'm also walking way too much but I fucking hate the horse controls. To gallop and move the camera I have to do that weird claw grip.. Who thought that was a good idea?

[deft pulsar]

I did chapter 3 boss pre nerf pogfish

[lucid thorn]

Haha I get what you mean. I don't mind that but I know a lot of folks would.

Were getting Nvidia tech that'll play games for you, we're not gonna get that "figure it out" much moving on, I miss it. I think it's part of why I like this game

[deft pulsar]

they took zelda's control scheme and pasted it on their game so always Nintendo's fault

[daring orbit]

Yeah i never ride the stupid horses in these games

Except kcd2

[deft pulsar]

walking on foot is just better until I unlock a flying mount tbh

you need to follow the road with the horse, I can just slingshot off trees while walking

[lucid thorn]

Pebbles is such a sweetheart

[deft pulsar]

like slingshotting off trees is such a stupid trivial game mechanic yet it is so neat

[lucid thorn]

How is kcd2's hdr? I beat it before it was released

[deft pulsar]

so many mechanics in this game that just click

[lucid thorn]

Like throwing meat on the ground and lighting it on fire by aiming your sword. Or, using that same mechanic to burn vines on a building

Or throwing meat on the ground for animals to pick up (or other npcs)

[daring orbit]

Its pretty good imo

Infinitely better than this games

No radio active grass color

[lucid thorn]

I intend on a hardcore playthrough one day. Putting out feelers for reno or games built in

[daring orbit]

Its meant to be played hardcore, i really wish these games would quit putting difficulty sliders on

Just make the difficulty right

[lucid thorn]

Well, hardcore wasn't out when I beat it :p I don't think? It's been a bit

[daring orbit]

No your right, but its way better

I won't need a stupid little green shield to tell my when to parry

[crude marsh]

I mean making no progress with tangible changes to the game

I just want one thing

to work

[lucid thorn]

I got a few games I wanna try with hdr. Like nier automata

[lucid thorn]

Still lods?

[true dagger]

im waiting for that luma to drop to replay it again

[daring orbit]

Sekiro is great with hdr, and some mods for shadiw casting lights, and to increase the shadow quality

[karmic void]

bro i'm sure u will find a way

[oblique mango]

new renodx got me blocks around my pet and character

[faint bobcat]

yh wtf, shouldnt it all be in linear?

[oblique mango]

anyone got this issue?

[gleaming marlin]

I don’t

[faint bobcat]

GPU and graphics settings

I suspect different shader perms

[karmic void]

I'm literally waiting for u to fix the pop in

[faint bobcat]

disable rendering toggles

until it goes away

then tell me which one causes it

[lucid thorn]

Be his assistant then

[oblique mango]

ok now no more blocks, gpu amd 7900xt max settings no RR using fsr4 quality

[faint bobcat]

so AyyyyMD is spawning a different deferred tile for hair, fur and cloth

fantastic

welp

someone will have to dump me the shader

[mortal wolf]

gotta write the MCP server to be http not pipe, so you can connect to their game over the internet /halfjoking

[faint bobcat]

its not colour shader

it is handling emissive via alpha

[upper sun]

Why does this attack send out like a pixelation wave from me xD

[faint bobcat]

why even play games when you can have grok do it for you

[upper sun]

think you can still see it through discord awful compression

[faint bobcat]

RR cant cope

or they included the VFX as noise that RR is trying to denoise

which they shouldnt have

[ember tulip]

@faint bobcat would my prior dump suffice?

[jade flame]

I was having this issue too on my 5080.
My msg probably got buried.
https://youtu.be/f3-Ru2qogKI

[faint bobcat]

ahhh I cba to go through all 4000 shaders.

Since this is SM6 and we have alias for all the shaders

[upper sun]

KEKW~7

[faint bobcat]

it is eaiser

[faint bobcat]

in devkit search for a shader/shaders titled RenderDiffuseTiled

There will be two of them

[upper sun]

it happens without RR too actually

[ember tulip]

okay one sec i'll reinstall the devkit

[faint bobcat]

what settings

so this isnt a GPU vendor thing but game settings

[digital elbow]

is that 8k

[jade flame]

ALL set to Cinematic
DLSS 4.0 Q
No FG
No RR

[upper sun]

It actually happens even without RT or anything wat da hell did they do to this spell

its a lot more apparent with it on but it still does it without anything on

[faint bobcat]

might be abysmal stochastic alpha

particle shader issue most likely

[upper sun]

nah 1440 xD

[faint bobcat]

so if you wanna dump me the shader

[upper sun]

Idk how to do that modCheck~2

[faint bobcat]

well neither did I

1 year ago

[static crag]

Bird caught a fish

[hollow plinth]

whats your particle setting set to? had that issue just now when it was set to 50, now i set it back to 100 and its fine

[barren pasture]

you need to install devkit addon and after you pretty much can follow Ritsu's guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1eUTijfW9w&t=859s

[ember tulip]

@faint bobcat i am dumb how do i search for what you asked for. for amd shaders

[upper sun]

at 100 furinod

[barren pasture]

somewhere in this list 😄

[upper sun]

it might be from the clones 02think

[faint bobcat]

click the second tab on the left

in devkit

the tab icons that go from top to bottom that is

you will see a list of all the shader names

with an alias

[mortal wolf]

isn't that an old devkit?

[barren pasture]

idk i used ritsu video

[jade flame]

Was your lighting set to Max by any chance?

[upper sun]

oh it is the clones every attack that has a clone goes mega pixel

It looks alright with the blur setting pumped up xD

[ember tulip]

okay i found them do i just hit dump binary?

[oblique mango]

yes

[low crane]

Why does the screen get so dim when looking in some directions? is it the game thats doing it or reno?

[faint bobcat]

Yes, did one for them have (addon) already mentioned

[jade flame]

Set it to Cinematic. I think that fixes it.

[faint bobcat]

Base game auto exposure

Wait for my fix

[burnt berry]

Was also getting black boxes around npcs, it seems to be when lighting is on Max and the diffuse setting is on anything but vanilla

RR works fine tho, only when its off they appear

[ruby tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-chef-spice-gif-1067568712733086785

Forge rn

[faint bobcat]

uhhh

Those shaders I already hvae

dafuq

so does non RR runs some other branch

in the code

maybe I slopped up but RR doesnt expose it

[barren pasture]

didnt you say that you dont guarantee support for non RR?

[ember tulip]

wait maybe this is my fault should i have RR off?

[faint bobcat]

well in general I am using max graphics. If something doesnt work, I am not going to patch a billion trillion permutations

this is only happening to users not using RR

[barren pasture]

so you had RR on?

[ember tulip]

yes my bad one sec let me turn it off and restart

[digital quest]

Wtf is this shit only DLAA fixes it
This is with 1440p quality RR

[burnt berry]

No* RR With max lighting is the only time i saw it happening, but turning the diffuse brdf to vanilla fixes it, so maybe something in that

[digital quest]

Seeing it myself is a different beast

[jade flame]

@faint bobcat You can probably put that "black box" artifact on the backburner for the moment. I think my setting somehow got changed to Max Lighting and that was making the artifact with Reno

(of course, no one should be using Max anyways)

[faint bobcat]

their Screenspaced displacement mapping

thats right

[digital quest]

BRUH

[faint bobcat]

they dont use normal displacement mapping

no no

[digital quest]

Thats a "feature"

[faint bobcat]

screensapced

WHO THE FUKC DOES THAT

WHY

[digital quest]

pepeSlop

[faint bobcat]

2000s called you

[jade flame]

AI will take humanity backwards at rates previuosly thought impossible. XP

[barren pasture]

[ember tulip]

so there is only 1 of these with RR off @faint bobcat

[lucid thorn]

Why does your armor look so good

[burnt berry]

also i dont know if its meant to but this setting only works with max lighting

[lucid thorn]

Mine looks muddy

[digital quest]

It looks muddy without RR

[lucid thorn]

Ah that explains that

[digital quest]

This is 1440p DLAA 4.0

frenzy

[lucid thorn]

Yeah that's me!

[faint bobcat]

We replaced sovlful cubemaps for this???

[digital quest]

Denoiser means just slurp out all the details for Pearl Abyss

[lucid thorn]

Dedetailer

[digital quest]

Truly ambient conclusion type shit

[burnt berry]

actually @faint bobcat im not sure if any of thse work with max lighting turned off

[golden scaffold]

Good one

[golden scaffold]

Should they?

[burnt berry]

I'd presume so

[faint bobcat]

First one you will notice small / medium differences in a scen

3 of those are smaller details

you might or might not see

VRS is for particles

and vertex stuff

[burnt berry]

maybe its more noticable on max but on cinematic i dont see a change at all, but max i can clearly see a change

[faint bobcat]

to stop pixelation

[burnt berry]

hard to test vrs and diffraction tho

[faint bobcat]

diffraction will mimmick spectral shifting on metals

you should see it go from red to blue

but it will be very subtle

[lucid thorn]

Wait I never checked max lighting cause I can't really run it but does it help with the thing or still muddy

[faint bobcat]

if you're not using RR

forget about it

[lucid thorn]

😭

[faint bobcat]

RR is already cope

anything below that might as well be ultra low

[lucid thorn]

Gonna have to find some rags so I can play as a peasant too

Or cloth so I don't gotta look for it hm

[burnt berry]

comparison between cinematic and max, unless im blind i see no change on cinematic but could be the game could be the mod 🤷‍♂️

first is max then cinematic

[faint bobcat]

rip

doesnt work for cinematic

[burnt berry]

[faint bobcat]

time to add to notes for rendering

[burnt berry]

i spent so long earlier wondering what the difference was

[wheat elk]

is their gi just that ass that needs ray reconstruction to look presentable?

[burnt berry]

thats without RR, just normal max lighting

[faint bobcat]

yes

RR is literally holding it all up with spit and duct tape

RR its the only good thing

out of the whole setup and pipeline

[wheat elk]

did the fast-is noise help at least? lol

[faint bobcat]

When you activate RR its not just RR denoising, they also run ReSTIR and crank settings further in an unoptimised way to bruteforce their stack of crads

[faint bobcat]

got filterd by DX12 binding

couldnt get it to work

or maybe it did bind

[wheat elk]

rip

[faint bobcat]

but I didnt see any differences

[wheat elk]

what the hell man

[burnt berry]

ive been struggling to settle on a way to play, RR at Balanced/Performance and lose half my fps, or use native or DLSS Q, no DLAA for HDR is an absolute killer

[wheat elk]

so instead of improving their gi they brute forced it with restir and ray reconstruction

[faint bobcat]

yes

1pp

so theres noise everywhere

runs about the same as PT in byberpunk

[wheat elk]

what kind of gi are they using anyways?

[faint bobcat]

cheapest most abysmal form

GIBS

by EA from 2021

https://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2021/SIGGRAPH Advances 2021 - Surfel GI.pdf

surfels based

[wheat elk]

have they never heard of the phrase "garbage in garbage out"?

[faint bobcat]

custom engine brooooo

[burnt berry]

probably when they implemented and never touched it again

[wheat elk]

this makes me respect devs like techland so much more lol

[faint bobcat]

they use screentracing, surfels, voxelGI that is skipped from RR denoising flag becasue ?????

screenspaced displacement mapping

becasue fuck normals I guess

[wheat elk]

aaaaaaaaaa

[ember tulip]

an EA/frostbite tech being in a custom korean engine is wild

[wheat elk]

ea has some good stuff

[faint bobcat]

Frostbite and EA's SEED has plenty of papers

thats where I found IS-FASt

but bro

Surfels GI aint it

thats mobile tier

can anyone help i cant find it for some reason

[shadow birch]

ty

[mortal wolf]

latest version is always pinned

[lament nymph]

what is the pin

[shadow birch]

installed it but my game wont boot in the main menu properly

is there a way to uninstall and reinstall ?

[daring orbit]

In the pins in the instructions for installation

[shadow birch]

got it

ty

[daring orbit]

Its really great👍

[shadow birch]

this might be a stupid question

but with renodx do i turn off in game hdr or leave it on

[viscid wedge]

leave it on

RenoDX modifies native HDR, it doesn't replace it

[zenith plank]

Hair and glass stuff is very dark sometimes.

[austere dune]

Hello. Does this work with just sdr or is it only for hdr? Thank you

[viscid wedge]

Its primary function is obviously for HDR but parts of it do work for SDR, such as the CA removal

[sick monolith]

flame hue correction works well with RR on.

however, when RR is off. only the flame hue is corrected.. the light cast by the flame remains pink.

RR OFF
0 left
100 right

[viscid wedge]

flame hue correction also just massively changed the color of my baby blue armor during a cutscene. wasn't quick enough to capture the difference as the scene played out

just quick enough to grab the correction slider and swing it back and forth to see if that was what did it and it very much was

[gilded axle]

to fix it i run the game at native for a bit then go to quality and it fixes it

[sick monolith]

RR OFF

left orange flame (100) pink wall

right pink flame (0) pink wall still

[daring orbit]

second one is better

[austere dune]

Thank you ill try it with sdr

[sick monolith]

yes ofc it looks coherent with the pink flame.. how do i make walls not pink when RR is off?

[daring orbit]

no idea

[dire pilot]

I went north for about 30 minutes and climbed a fuck huge mountain just so I could get this beautiful shot for all of you 🙃

the further you go back, the more it looks like a shitty diorama made of felt and pipe cleaners

and there's still about 5000 m North I can go from here lol

[daring orbit]

i know a mountain in real life with that view

[covert ruin]

guys did the default renodx settings have 60 contrast and 60 saturation? i’m not sure why mine was set to that is it meant to be 50

[daring orbit]

pinnacles buttes, togwotee pass wyo

[viscid wedge]

it used to, before it was updated today. If you want the defaults, just hit the reset button.

[lucid thorn]

I have a secondary solution to the armor texture

[lament nymph]

I dislike the game's map and terrain

so many u turn just to get to where u are

[viscid wedge]

I need a north up option for the minimap

or at least a path to follow if I set a destination. wasting too much time going into the map at every split in the road to make sure i'm still going the right way

[uncut mason]

is it released yet?

[viscid wedge]

is what released yet?

[uncut mason]

renodx for crimson

[royal jolt]

the diffuse BRDF is abit buggy

[viscid wedge]

oh, we're on version 3, been available since friday or so. Still a WIP but.. it works

[lapis smelt]

Pins

[uncut mason]

aight i tried it

[candid crane]

Was AC shadows auto exposure change in HDR mode fixed?

[lucid thorn]

guys the abyss consumed me 🙁

Cleared my first camp mostly blind

this was all I had by the end of it

I don't even know what I did wrong haha

[dire pilot]

wow this puzzle can go fuck itself

took me like 20 minutes

[daring orbit]

yea the puzzles are great

[viscid wedge]

well at least you got a pretty picture

[lament nymph]

the thing about the puzzles in this game are that they are not very intuitive, but that would be the least of my problems if the controls aren't sloppy

the abyss map puzzles are on a different level of bad

coupled with horrible camera control

[daring orbit]

i like the puzzles

[viscid wedge]

speaking of is there a camera fix for horseback so the damn camera actually stays behind you.

[faint bobcat]

@oak wren @mortal wolf I abused cbooofers and now the addon crashes

[lament nymph]

I'm prob 30 hrs away from finishing the game

[faint bobcat]

Have to merge

[lament nymph]

50 hrs now

[viscid wedge]

if they game is going to make me continually mash A to just keep going fast, i'd like to not have to keep taking my thumb off A to readjust the camera every 3 seconds

[lament nymph]

so prob in 3 days or 2

then I can play something else x.x

haven't played that ghost game 2 remake

or death strangling

[teal hollow]

Paddles are game changer for game like this.

[lament nymph]

also there's a UFO easter egg if you go to the furthest mountain top to the west

[sleek veldt]

Idk where I am in the games story ch 5 or 6

[lament nymph]

and look at the sky at 3 am

[sleek veldt]

Ok GTA 5

[lament nymph]

they will kidnap you and give you a laser sword

[viscid wedge]

What do you mean exactly? I have paddles on my controller but I'd have to set them up to do something

[lament nymph]

actually I kid, this game isn't that fun

also I invested all my gold bar and I lost $$$

the banks in this game sucks

[whole shell]

I have four paddles with A and X on the right and L1 and O on the left

[daring orbit]

i have all my paddles mapped to shader toggles

[sleek veldt]

Toggled the map and shit off

[lament nymph]

are those ufos?

[viscid wedge]

thats how you know you're only gaming to tinker with the game lmao

[daring orbit]

yeah, well takes one to know one

[sleek veldt]

I mean in the sense of exploration they are UFOs but no they are blimps

Anyone know about the disruptor?

where to get it? or is it part of the story?

[viscid wedge]

google has no idea, sure thats the correct word?

[uncut mason]

after and before renodx..

why its looks worse on me with renodx on?

[viscid wedge]

does it? also did you change anything in the settings? It will remove CA and sharpening by default on the latest version

[sleek veldt]

what's CA?

[teal hollow]

I binded mine on jump & run for traveling so I don't have to take my thumb off the camera as much. I have 4 paddles and bind the other two on L3&R3, make Axiom grapple & focus easier to use since I don't like clicking the sticks.

[sleek veldt]

But It doesn't look worse it's just not blownout

[uncut mason]

this vanilla looks better (after - before)

[sleek veldt]

yeah bro

sure..

....

[daring orbit]

did you crank the sharpening?

[gilded plover]

please take hdr screenshots

[worn sundial]

I turned on HDR in Windows. Should I also turn it on in-game?

[uncut mason]

no its default

[uncut mason]

its hdr screenshot... i use sharex

[uncut mason]

yes

[worn sundial]

thx

[gilded plover]

ok bro

[sleek veldt]

The image is also just blown

like a loose hole

Like the white is blasting me

[gilded plover]

because its sdr

[uncut mason]

wait

[gilded plover]

its blowing out the hdr part

[uncut mason]

i think its somehow convert to sdr

[sleek veldt]

windows ALt PRNT i think also gives HDR screenshots?

[gilded plover]

yall have reshade installed right there

it takes hdr screens

[sleek veldt]

Win alt prnt scrn

takes HDR screenshots through windows

[gilded plover]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-what-you-deleted-cat-gif-25407007

[sleek veldt]

LOL

[lucid thorn]

oh nice, that is hdr photo

I didn't actually know if those shots were

Look, if I can figure it out, anybody can 🫡

[daring orbit]

i know that feeling

[lucid thorn]

I will say; for the obvious flaws this game has, it has pros that kinda outweigh it, for me 👀

[gilded plover]

i dont even own the game im just here to shitpost

[austere dune]

hello. is there a way to check if turning off CA and sharpening is working? i'm on SDR though

[gilded plover]

[gilded plover]

https://tenor.com/view/heresy-detected-gif-25567321

[daring orbit]

you should get the game

[gilded plover]

for 25 bucks maybe

[daring orbit]

best combat since sekiro

[gilded plover]

not 70

[austere dune]

he's here to shitpost so that "justifies" for him

[lucid thorn]

hey man, your money your call

[uncut mason]

after - before

[gilded plover]

vanilla looks cooked ashell

pink ahh fires

[lucid thorn]

damn kakashi

[uncut mason]

feels like i more like to vanilla because its popping more colour but darker area definetly better with renodx

[gilded plover]

i have so much shid that i still have to play i cant justify spending that much on a game that im only slightly interested in

[lucid thorn]

with the folks I know, 180 as a backlog is nothing

[gilded plover]

is still 180 too many hehe

[lucid thorn]

bah

I believe in you

[faint bobcat]

if you prefer the hues, then activate AWB back on again

its their auto white balance

[daring orbit]

dont worry this isnt a long game

[faint bobcat]

it will make the scene more blue

[daring orbit]

you can squeeze it in

[uncut mason]

hmm i will i tried it

[lucid thorn]

yeah, basically

[lament nymph]

I have no backlog ...

[lucid thorn]

I'll start on the story eventually

I actually made a bit of progress in chapter 3 tonight

[uncut mason]

this game has hdr10+ gaming yes? so i think the vanilla is do better because it show what the dev intend for us too see

[lucid thorn]

Also spent several hours hunting for waterfalls I could get into, and found a lot of ore spots along the way

[lament nymph]

hdr10+ has a +, it's betta

[lucid thorn]

confirmed hospitals are also betas

[karmic void]

prob 180 is from 2025 only for me

[gilded plover]

WHA

[lament nymph]

gaming is an expensive hobby, I couldn't buy games not to finish them

I'm poor

[karmic void]

bruh few days back I checked I got 1100 games

how???

[gilded plover]

dont you have a 5090 or sumn

[lament nymph]

yea

2 actually

[gilded plover]

thats why your poor

[lament nymph]

I may need a 3rd if dlss 5 can do nude mods

I want my bewbs to look flawless

[daring orbit]

hes working on dlss5

[karmic void]

Majority of them I gotnin discount but then as I get too many I think I spend the same

[lucid thorn]

I respect his commitment to dlss5

[gilded plover]

what the shit

[sleek veldt]

Nah

[lucid thorn]

alright lads, take care of yourselves 🙏

[solar bone]

damn that new reno update is juicy

Guess it's just stuff like clouds, smoke and shadows that are left as minor inconveniences

[karmic void]

I think I'm sick Steam just gives me the impulsive buying feeling I should delete it

at least on my phone

my mom is not even giving me money anymore but I find so many cheap marketplaces

[gilded plover]

i only really buy stuff i really wanna play at some point

[karmic void]

teach me how?

I just study and game I have nothing to do

[daring orbit]

man i cant wait for lords of the fallen 2

[stray grove]

i have 263 game on my account that ive had for 20 year and i though it was a lot ahah

[sleek veldt]

I buy stuff I want to play

[solar bone]

That game looks great as well

[karmic void]

1.118 in 4 years

[daring orbit]

yeah way better animations this time

[stray grove]

@karmic void ya thats a bit crazy immo like you will never play all of those

just wasting money at this point 😅

[karmic void]

I know but I got sick like I need to complete collections

[gilded plover]

dunno i just dont really impulse buy, i look at reviews n stuff and decide if thats something i want to play at some point or not, not because its a good deal or whatever

[karmic void]

fuck my brain

[gilded plover]

like my backlog has almost no "mostly positive or below games"

[karmic void]

I should learn this

[stray grove]

like my list of game to complete right now is only 21 titles and i know i wont have time to finish all of those

[sick monolith]

do you know how to fix pink cast light from fire when RR is off?

[daring orbit]

i got like 35 games

[karmic void]

don't u start 😂

[daring orbit]

some of those games ive got like 800 hours in

It just means Samsung paid them to add it...

[sick monolith]

only when RR is off though. RR on it's ok

[karmic void]

https://tenor.com/view/demon-slayer-kimetsu-kimetsu-no-yaiba-tanjiro-tanjiro-kamado-gif-21548355

[sick monolith]

the walls are bearable but the dirt path/ground turning color is too much

[lament nymph]

the indoors of this game are 80% fked, the 20% are substandards

[faint bobcat]

every coper not using RR gets to suffer now

[faint bobcat]

same thing

Its all caused by not using RR

I am not patching non RR shaders

Well maybe I can

[karmic void]

@faint bobcat u man of integrity

[faint bobcat]

depends on how bad it is

[karmic void]

nah people not using RR in this game they just have to unistall

don't encourage slippery slop

[lament nymph]

idk man, there are 180k ppl playing rn, out of those 180k I surmise there must be at least 5k that plays with RR on cause it's expensive as hell to run

most ppl pcs are garbage

but like for the majority RR off is playable

[karmic void]

that's why AJ won

[faint bobcat]

I need someone to dump me ManyLightsDeferredLightingEvaluate

both shaders

[sick monolith]

the RR isn't the problem.. it's DLSS. the DLAA image is clearly subpar compared to DLSS OFF.

allow me to activate RR without DLSS plz

[karmic void]

i don't think I got u tbh

u mean RR in DLAA?

[sick monolith]

i mean.. DLAA doesn't improve image quality as it should be doing.

So RR ON you get better lights but worse image quality because DLAA is broken

[karmic void]

how can u even run RR with DLAA in this game?

Nvidia setup 2 5090 maybe

[sick monolith]

i got dual gpu..

[karmic void]

u lucky ass

u can still sli nowadays?

[sick monolith]

and i chose DLSS off because DLSS is just so broken

[sick monolith]

no, only FG is offloaded to the 2nd GPU

[karmic void]

are u using it for gaming only or for training models too?

[sick monolith]

only for demanding games.. i usually don't activate the 2nd one

[karmic void]

what's the real boost u get in terms of performance?

% wise

[sick monolith]

frame gen u don't get a performance hit.. usually a 60fps base gets 2xFG to 90+ frames on a single gpu

but with dual gpu, i get to keep the 60 base then 2xFG to 120fps

[karmic void]

that's neat

[austere dune]

hello what to disable here with all these crushed blacks? when i turn off all the effects it just turns greenish

this is with the effects turned off

[stray grove]

what am i looking at

[sick monolith]

posterization

[faint bobcat]

aint no way

thats still an issue

@vivid iris

our shit doesnt fix this

so it must be baked somewhere else

[faint bobcat]

Apparently this is an issue with not using RT

and last I checked RT off also runs worse than RT on in certain scenarios

the game is just cooked without it

[austere dune]

i do have RT on though

and using DLAA 4.5L 1440p

[lament nymph]

very beautiful graphics

[clever spindle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/s/8yfKw4OJ5f

[sick monolith]

isn't intel the worst in RT? any the devs are trying to suport those cards?

[faint bobcat]

then rip

first report so far

[stray grove]

@austere dune why dlaa 4.5 though?

[faint bobcat]

of this

[sick monolith]

how do you even turn it on? it's grayed out

[austere dune]

this is how it looks like with RR on + balanced lol

[lament nymph]

hdr10+ has a + .. you know it's better

[austere dune]

i find 4.5L DLAA looks best for me. even with the fps loss

[karmic void]

Sir with the new Starfield update would u get Luma back working or not?

[sick monolith]

hdr10+ is dynamic tonemapping technically. are we supposed to turn off hgig to get it to work?

[vivid iris]

the fuck

[karmic void]

don't use it for games it has not benefits

[lament nymph]

wdym no benefits, it has an extra +

[sick monolith]

this is the first game that i've seen with hdr10+

[lament nymph]

samsung wouldn't lie to us, never

[karmic void]

actually there are some games using Dolby Vision too

but dynamic Metadatas are for cinema

for a specific graded scene

with a specific camera angle

it only make sense there

[lament nymph]

I bought my tv I better use 100% of it

if hdr10 has a + I'm using the+

can't stop me

[karmic void]

use it to watch movies and series

[lament nymph]

can't even do that cause nvidia shield doesn't do that

samsuck

[sick monolith]

ok back to the pink walls

too much hdr10+ is bad

[clever spindle]

We'll do it yes. Luma Framework 2.0 in the making

[karmic void]

I loved Luma for Starfield

[hardy owl]

Please don't. You are our only hope

[karmic void]

that's how I discovered HDR tbh

[fleet jacinth]

i dont understand what hdr10+ DOES in games

[daring orbit]

Am i tripping or is the default preset for dlss 4.0 sr, pretty good for dlaa?

I dont really feel like i need the transformer models for dlaa

[solar bone]

Preset K is transformer

And sacrificing hdr for dlaa seems like a terrible trade

[gilded plover]

^

what does HDR not work with dlaa lol

[solar bone]

Downsampling dldsr 4k to 2k works great

[solar bone]

If you have both activated you get a flickering black bar on top of your screen

[gilded plover]

truly AMD sponsored

[solar bone]

Still hasn't been fixed

[daring orbit]

Im not having any issues with dlaa and hdr

[solar bone]

[gilded plover]

https://tenor.com/view/why-monkey-what-huh-confused-gif-3006908007927048834

[solar bone]

It's still there for me and plenty others

[daring orbit]

Huh did you try 4.0?

[solar bone]

Yes

[ruby tusk]

what gpu?

[sick monolith]

do you mean the pixelated clouds ?

[solar bone]

5080

[ruby tusk]

You're the 4th person I've run into with this DLAA + HDR issue on a 50 series card, I'm on 4090 and don't have this issue

[stray grove]

@sick monolith there is more then the pixelated clouds 😅

[daring orbit]

im on a 4080, for the record

[ruby tusk]

I think this DLAA + HDR issue is somehow related to 50 series

don't know why but doesn't seem to affect 40 series

[daring orbit]

i dont really see much difference with dlaa 4.0 or 4.5

[gilded plover]

what if you just do 95% or 98% DLSS custom res

[ruby tusk]

Cause they use the same model

[gilded plover]

they dont

[ruby tusk]

4.5 only use M or L if you use Performance or Ultra P

otherwise it uses K

[gilded plover]

if you use the auto one, yes

[ruby tusk]

Correct

[gilded plover]

you can use whatever you want tho

[ruby tusk]

You can manually change it

yeah

[gilded plover]

dlaa with l and m

[solar bone]

L has the overall highest quality across the board but also eats way more performance than I ok quality and dlaa

[ruby tusk]

Yeah L is heavier than M

[gilded plover]

L is heavy asf yeah

but its also not without issues

[ruby tusk]

both are heavier than K

but M not as much

[hardy owl]

I am using now the new rendering fixes from Forge, what kind of improvements should I be able to see while playing exactly? its hard to understand the explanation when using it in game lol

[solar bone]

Have you been blinded yet

[gilded plover]

L has mad issues here

[hardy owl]

what do you mean?

[solar bone]

Try walking into a building and back out

[stone comet]

its just a colour fix really

[solar bone]

And it fixes a lot of shimmering

[hardy owl]

thats great then, this game has tons shimmering

lets hope lazorr can do something about the LOD

[solar bone]

Doesn't look like an easy task

Shadow LODs are so fucking bad it's insane

[daring orbit]

I can force m with dlss swapper

[hardy owl]

I read somewhere that Black Desert has the same issue and they never fixed it

[solar bone]

This engine is way more powerful than what BDO runs on

Its a worrying situation because the LOD issues really affect the experience and immersion

[sick monolith]

i don't think they acknowledge it as a problem same with this game it will never be fixed

[solar bone]

BDO is also an mmo where they care way less about fixing graphical stuff as long as a potato can run it and they can rake in more money

[hardy owl]

only modders are the only hope, it sucks man

[solar bone]

They did fix indoors looking like a boiler room pretty fast so there is hope

[ruby tusk]

We can only pray

[solar bone]

If they get competent enough people to work on it they can fix what modders can't access

[sick monolith]

is this true at all?

[hardy owl]

The LOD pushing dont need to be huge, just enough to mitigate a bit the exaggerated pop in we have as of now.

[solar bone]

Yes?

[ruby tusk]

just give us a slider

lol

[sick monolith]

i mean who fixed it? pa or jon/forge?

[solar bone]

Pa

[modest hatch]

So

[hardy owl]

yeah that would the best case scenario

[modest hatch]

Do we agree the game gets better ?

🤔

[hardy owl]

yes, although I personally liked it from the beginning

[solar bone]

Them fixing graphical stuff so fast after release is comforting. Most devs take ages. Look at stuff like mh wilds. They fixed nothing until a year later and nioh 3 is a graphical mess without any fixes in sight

[sick monolith]

game should be released at a better state.. this is not early access of some indie dev

[modest hatch]

My only issue with it in terms of exploration is how the game doesn’t give you meaningful stuff, it’s mostly useless loot or abyss artifacts

Don’t rly remember finding that many much good gear

[solar bone]

Blame publishers and shareholders for rushing

[modest hatch]

True

[hardy owl]

Nioh 3 still has textures like these in the game, its shameful

[modest hatch]

In the big 26

[solar bone]

For how poorly optimized it is that is just ridiculous

[sick monolith]

yeah 7 years is rushing

[modest hatch]

Speaking of textures

[hardy owl]

Katana engine is a mess. I think the Crimson Desert engine is much better if they find a way to push the LOD further

[modest hatch]

Crimson desert’s foliage looked bad at first, but it’s actually looking good to me rn

Like I now like how it looks

[solar bone]

It was meant to be a different game to begin with

So yeah

After changing direction it obviously got rushed

[ruby tusk]

yes imo

[solar bone]

But they probably also were more or less forced to release it to break even in cost of production

Crimson desert starts so slow but once you get past chapter one and get a few more characters it's the most fun I've personally have had in a long time

Feels like a true rpg

No handholding or forced progression you can just do what you want and explore so many cool places

The world feels alive

Game can still looks great in SDR sometimes, but overall still think Hdr its even better in this game,even if its not perfect like i seen in other games.

[solar bone]

Hdr is always better unless you have a bad monitor. Especially good on an oled

[solar bone]

I love my Asus rog after replacing it 3 times due to terrible panels lmao

[quartz flame]

i mean Vanilla Hdr needs a little fine tuning in this game

[solar bone]

Oh yeah you HAVE to have reno and color fixes for it to look good

[solar bone]

Game by default has overblown colors

[quartz flame]

ya and its a little dark overall think

i heard bcs of the RT

or could be the wheater system sometimes its to bright other times to dark gets bcs of the weather system and RT GI to

[solar bone]

Well blacks should be dark especially on an oled but not crushed

It's fixable with some fine tuning

[quartz flame]

ya they are for me also, but sometimes the game looks a little dim pale in HDR like needs more color compared to SDR where it has to much already ^^

[modest hatch]

I wanna turn on hdr but I just can’t find the saturation settings man

Not enough saturation for me

[quartz flame]

ya same

but i fix it

[modest hatch]

How

[quartz flame]

with the adrenalin software

[modest hatch]

On rdr 2 I change saturation from 50 to 65 and it looked amaaazing

[solar bone]

Either find a setup for your monitor model and adjust colors in reshade and reno

[quartz flame]

• reshade

[modest hatch]

Where’s that

[quartz flame]

im on amd i have a 7900XTX

[solar bone]

I got colorlab for reshade and turned blue down to 85
