Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[lucid thorn]

We could probably add a bot

[sick monolith]

link me plz

[boreal thunder]

Anyone else with the latest RenoDX find the further objects seem a bit more blurry?

[narrow frost]

https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

[sick monolith]

i didnt update the game. need to play the highest difficulty

[final imp]

Yeah I want

[boreal thunder]

So you just keep steam offline?

[burnt dew]

This is what i'm referring to, D vs E

[narrow frost]

oh wtf

Are you doing it through the NVIDIA App or Profile Inspector?

[burnt dew]

I'm guessing its a resolution issue idk

Optiscaler so i can change it on the fly

[narrow frost]

Hmm should try either the Nvidia app or Profile Inspector, could be some funky stuff with optiscaler.

[mental dune]

Should ee override 4.0 in nvidia app or use default?

[narrow frost]

Btw @sick monolith @final imp Not sure if it was fixed, but before NVIDIA App would override/block preset overrids from Profile Inspector if it was installed.
Been a long time since I had the nvidia app installed so might be fixed, just as a headsup!

[lament nymph]

either way the blacksmith looks fked

[sick monolith]

i avoid nvidia app because of the overhead. yeah nvapp is working as it should

[fresh field]

anyone have any issues using DLSS swapper or NVPI to force the latest SR/RR/FG DLLs?

not presets, just the DLLs

[sick monolith]

dont use swapper.. use anwave to enable it on driver level if you dont want the nvapp

[viscid wedge]

Until Nvidia drops a new RR DLL, we're gaming on 2023 tech.

[narrow frost]

Game specific or in general?
I have my global profile DLSS/FG overriden to 4.5 (v310.5.2) but exclude for games that I end up using RR.
Haven't had issues and can confirm it has worked for all my games that I tried.

or you talking replacing them (files), not override?

[fresh field]

either or. i know one replaces and the other overrides

[lucid thorn]

Poor guys been working overtime

[golden scaffold]

Does forcing newer dlls even do anything? If you're using RR model what does it matter?

[narrow frost]

If you use RR it falls back to DLSS 4.0 Gen 1.

[fresh field]

well RR uses 310.5.2 but the latest is 310.5.3

[golden scaffold]

Why would you exclude for games that use RR it swaps to 4.0 automatically just like in CD?

[fresh field]

im not talking about DLSS model itself, but the DLL version

[golden scaffold]

I'm just confused what's the point of swapping dlls at this point if we're talking games with RR

[sick monolith]

i stay in old drivers because the new ones are borked.. so i need to inject these new dlls via anwave

[lament nymph]

this game looks like solumen's asshole

[modest hatch]

Nah but fr the hell is a solumen

[quartz tendon]

May I ask, why do I see up to 1950 nits but my LG OLED G2 55 should peak at 1000 nits?

[mortal wolf]

note how, without prompting, how ChatGPT decided to break it up like that into very short paragraphs, like the image on the right. also why is there a blinking cursor in there...?

[ocean onyx]

Shorter paragraph breaks are also extremely common in writing of other languages

[golden scaffold]

What are the odds it already read the viral post and discussions about it?

[viscid wedge]

Is this supposed to do anything or just doing it blindly in hopes that its magically much better?

[ocean onyx]

That is also something English language translators end up condensing to not look odd to English speaking audiences. See it in novels all the time

[quartz tendon]

And another question, is there a list of all active RenoDX moders coffee link or prefered donation place? Just watched the 2h discussion and I am highly impressed by ShortFuse interest in colours and how eyes perceive them, would like to give a little something something to Musa too and Forge etc.

[lament nymph]

lots of ppl use chatgpt to write these days, AI writings should not be considered a moot point

[mortal wolf]

very little. there's no need for the AI to do that. it used nothing from the game to inform the complaints

[fresh field]

thats what i was asking. not sure if swapping to the latest DLL would make a difference or break something because things in this game are jank lol

[sick monolith]

do not base what you see on the text(number) you should be able to differentiate the boxes..

at which nits do the boxes become solid white together

[tawny ravine]

Ya I mean it's possible it's just fabricated. I wouldn't trust it 100%. This is how people proved the authenticity of it but still could be fake

[viscid wedge]

No one is really bothering to do it here, so I guess that means you're the guinea pig. Get to testing!

[golden scaffold]

The tone of writing sounds extremely like gpt still. Can't miss it. The original translated post was very different iirc

[tawny ravine]

I have no access to Korean community sites

[karmic quest]

Dlss swapper can force it

[faint bobcat]

vanilla sun / modified

[quartz tendon]

must be between 1000 and 1080, that makes sense 🙂

[faint bobcat]

the pixelation

[ocean onyx]

Aside from the triplets thing, the rest just reads like you would expect from east Asian writing

[final imp]

new nvidia driver, spooky

[fresh field]

its not really advisable though cause it can be really wonky

[mortal wolf]

of course, to be far, if it were korean, you could ask chatgpt to translate it

[ocean onyx]

Not sure what's up with the triplets

[karmic quest]

One user has no issue at all with the swapper

[mortal wolf]

why would it be in English

[narrow frost]

Because if RR runs at 4.0 Gen 1 (which they all do), it puts the main DLSS to 4.0 Gen 1 as well - same goes for if you use M or L DLSS Preset Letter together with RR (D & E).

[tawny ravine]

And apparently if you watch the reveal trailer you can see traces of that original story in it but I haven't seen it

[sick monolith]

that's your peak nits then. set it in renodx always

[tawny ravine]

The original one years ago

[mortal wolf]

but again, why is there a text cursor as if it were a picture of something being written, not of a post

[golden scaffold]

Yeah that looks much better. Also btw, on the old V2 of add-on, if I set the highlights to 48 or lower (my bandaid attempt to overcome the jarring exposure switching) the sun became black?

[fresh field]

i will DLSS swap to the newest RR DLL and see how it borks the game (it probably wont affect anything)

I will report back (i'll probably forget unless something just breaks)

[tawny ravine]

Could be someone who translated it and just copy pasted it and posted it. Who knows really

[ocean onyx]

That's weird. Someone pasted it somewhere else?

[golden scaffold]

I don't get it 💀 so what should I do?

[faint bobcat]

the sun is running (1e+06f, _precomputedAmbient7.x); in vanilla code

its a complete brickwall

[golden scaffold]

So that's what you were getting at? Wait wtf

[ocean onyx]

Nothing, the included RR dll is fine

[sick monolith]

is it a bird? or is it a jet?

[tawny ravine]

This post is all I have to go off so no idea

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/s/AfTaRHRLLT

[viscid wedge]

If you use RR, its completely takes over. You're not using M or L in conjuction.

[narrow frost]

If you use RR in your game, use/set it to DLSS 4.0 with Gen 1 letters (D or E for RR).
If you do not use RR in your game - use DLSS 4.5 M & L.

[narrow frost]

This is exactly what I'm trying to say 😄

[jade spruce]

frog desert looking good

[tawny ravine]

Ya im blind I didn't read the guy translated it and posted it. Probably used chatgpt

[karmic quest]

Does renodx work with other shader mods?

[wispy crown]

DLSS 4.0 is better because of less flickering with GI.

[golden scaffold]

So... Can I just swap DLLs to newest (as fallback because I don't trust nvapp) and let the game handle the swapping? But generally, I use RR anyway when available it's just why would you not

[mortal wolf]

*sorry guys i was not sure about English spelling of 맥더프, so i just went with the translator gave me. seems like MacDuff is more accurate spelling of 맥더프 then Macbeth

[tawny ravine]

Yeye I'm illiterate I didn't see that part

[sick monolith]

yes but those shader mods are designed to work with vanilla

[lament nymph]

I can customize my kliff's hair now ... only takes something hrs

[narrow frost]

Yes, if you have nothing set for the game for override etc. the game's files/dlss determines what to use.

[viscid wedge]

A few reasons. In a non-broken game where lighting isn't ass unless you do, you can't make use of DLSS4.5 and the fancy new M and L presets. Also for some its just too costly performance wise.

I use it in this game, kinda need to for good lighting.

[lament nymph]

henry cavill looking ass

[karmic quest]

True

[ocean onyx]

Made him into a bottom

[mortal wolf]

so it's probably just ai translation

[lucid thorn]

Bro leave my wife alone

[karmic quest]

Can I atleast increase saturation with renodx enabled?

The game on default looks too bland

[faint bobcat]

Reno has sliders for all post process adjustments

[narrow frost]

Yes, but its ever so slightly blurrier/trail in motion compared to 4.5 (most noticeable with particles/leaves etc).

[faint bobcat]

theres no nedd for reshade shaders

[karmic quest]

Ty bro

[lucid thorn]

Except they one that removes the pop in

Is that even a reshade shader

I forgot to look into it

I am sorry haha

[faint bobcat]

We can do the same thing

[lyric aurora]

sry that was probably said before but any idea when the auto exposure fix will come ? 😄

[faint bobcat]

but I would rather fix it

then nuke it

its just using reshade shader toggler to find the shaders and undraw it

[lucid thorn]

This isn't the side of game development I'm used to but I'm still interested in following along 👀

[sick monolith]

link me plz

[lament nymph]

no more beard and tattoo

nice, I can now enjoy the game like it was meant to

[mortal wolf]

i ran translation through chatgpt, and it added an emdash not in the original, pretty close to the reddit one

[golden scaffold]

That's cursed bro

[karmic quest]

What did you dooo

[thin kelp]

make skin green and you can hide in Golden Leaf gang

[sick monolith]

why does the hair have chromatic abberation? i see RGB in black

[golden scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/must-unsee-spongebob-washing-eyes-cant-look-gif-14237119

[ocean onyx]

Game just does that for some reason

Forge had found where they manually programmed that in

[lucid thorn]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1 that one I think

[ocean onyx]

Bottom transformation complete

[steady orbit]

hi guys. please anyone tell me where find renodx mod for Crimson Desert?

[viscid wedge]

https://klipy.com/gifs/check-the-pins-kowalski-1

[upper sun]

Maann I keep getting crashes after like 45 minutes when i turn on framegen graha_cry cant use RR without it

[lucid thorn]

We should hire you

[viscid wedge]

I already have a job i'm neglecting, I can't handle another!

[lucid thorn]

That's fair

[golden scaffold]

Wait before he comes back tomorrow asking why it got deleted

The eternal cycle 💀

[viscid wedge]

or in 5 minutes lol

[lucid thorn]

Probably 5 minutes

[golden scaffold]

Hey guys my defender detected this as virus what's going on? (Posts a big ass screenshot)

[steady orbit]

guys link please

[tawny ravine]

Yeah I mean it's probably formatted like that because the OP just ran the entire block of text posted in Korean through Chat GPT. But even ignoring that the story does seem like it was reworked and badly pieced together at some parts. Maybe it does get better in later chapters

[steady orbit]

i need this mod

[tawny ravine]

Either that or it's just it's MMO roots showing

[lucid thorn]

My guy

Please read

[viscid wedge]

did you not find it in the pinned posts?

[lucid thorn]

He didn't look

[viscid wedge]

I know lol

[lucid thorn]

He looked as hard as my kids do

[wispy crown]

I'm quite proficient in korean. The translation is very good. Probably AI translated or just naver papago.

[hardy owl]

Man I am excited for the autoexposure fix. The game needs it badly

[sick monolith]

#1469072401450012774 message

[lucid thorn]

Damn you're nice

[chrome sun]

If you give him the link, they'll come back on each game asking for it 😅

[covert ruin]

is there any way to remove centre dot crosshair?

[lucid thorn]

Btw I dunno who needs to hear this but if you have the ||drill|| you can ||use it while hanging on a mountain. R1+R2 while it's equipped||

Can't spoil everything

[chrome sun]

thanks for the tip

[lucid thorn]

Gotchu

[sick monolith]

exception.. he was desperate

[viscid wedge]

I found even before that, you can ||force punch while hanging to mine rocks. It forceably pushes you off the wall but you can fly back to it||

[sick monolith]

could be dying of mod deficiency

[karmic quest]

How bad is the normal HDR implementation? Like for me it feels like it overexposes even when I'm lowering my brightness in the game settings..

[chrome sun]

You're too good for this world

[lucid thorn]

That also works! Benefit to mine is ||10% chance for extra ore||

[lucid thorn]

Brightness only affects sdr I think

[viscid wedge]

Yeah I should probably figure out how to ||get that drill||

[karmic quest]

Im changing brightness in hdr settings

[lucid thorn]

Oh that should be fine but yeah try reno instead

[lucid thorn]

I won't give any all hints if you don't want it haha

[lament nymph]

with the mask on my kliff looks like ...

[forest path]

it's ok but colors shift badly, the autoexposure is just there even in sdr

[viscid wedge]

No worries. There is so much to do in this game so far i'm in no rush to figure all of it out. I can't even keep track of all the skills I have and how to use them 😆

[tawny ravine]

Got that covid drip going on

[lucid thorn]

Oh yeah I've barely put anything into skills, totally get it :p

[lyric aurora]

Do you guys think we can do something for the light of the torch that pop 10 m around us ? in night this is absolutely disgusting

[lament nymph]

everyone was more attractive during covid

[karmic quest]

Im gonna be back once I set it up for some settings I could copy. Tho my monitor is on HDR 400 True Black setting.

[lament nymph]

I was hot for this nurse, till one day covid was no more and she took her mask off

[tawny ravine]

[hardy owl]

@crude marsh seems to be working on finding a solution for this

[modern onyx]

Guys on github yesterday snapshot is the latest version?

[lyric aurora]

Oh great can't wait for a possible fix, inthe beginning city the pop in of the torches at night absolutely break immersion for me

[lucid thorn]

Just head cannon that they're motion sensors

[hardy owl]

There is pop in for everything. Shadows, people, buildings, lights etc. Let's hope a miracle happens and they find a solution

[faint bobcat]

I have their local light injection shader, the problem seems to be

1. They have set very short draw distances

2. The game has a limit to the amount of lights that can be in the Lightbuffer, if it overflows, they cull

[lyric aurora]

yeah actually there's pop in everywhere ....

[lyric aurora]

Oh .... do you think this is fixable ? i mean less intrusive that is it now ?

[faint bobcat]

everyone asks is it fixable

not hows fixable

🥀

[karmic quest]

The game has very short render distances to begin with. I hope I could modify it so I dont get texture popins..

[faint bobcat]

you cant

[flint moss]

"How" implies thanit can be done gogo 😁

[lyric aurora]

Oh sorry 😄 english is not my first language :/ i wish you the best

[naive jackal]

Completely removed the game and reinstalled and RenoDX works again, but only if i only install reshade and reno, if i install limiter the game goes back to not even launching, seems to be working fine for everyone else so not sure what i'm doing wrong, maybe some win11 bs going on?

[dense raft]

Btw when using max lightning without RR I get black/grey boxes around characters while using latest RenoDx

[quartz tendon]

How is it fixable?

[hardy owl]

That probably happens too without RenoDx lol

[dense raft]

Nope

[stone comet]

Renodx is made primarily on RR so good luck for anything else

[dense raft]

Was using RenoDx v2 until I updated to the latest one and then came the prob

[lucid thorn]

What kind of limiter

[karmic quest]

Its not until devs do something about it. They also need to work how Ray Tracing works in general because its not supposed to be like this.

[dense raft]

And it disappears using cinematic

[neon whale]

apparently they new nvidia driver changes something for the game

[naive jackal]

@lucid thorn ReLimiter in the RHI app

[lucid thorn]

I don't know what that does but is it just for framerate

[lavish shale]

hey how do i install the mod

[fresh field]

download the file and pray to your god of choice. it will install

[lucid thorn]

I've had success getting rivatuner working

[narrow frost]

What, was there issues with it?

[fallen knoll]

Why does sometimes the .addon file disappears from the game directory

[stone comet]

Check your antivirus

[fallen knoll]

ohh

[lavish shale]

my bad😂

[stone comet]

Give it a pass

[boreal thunder]

They should just use VRAM more liberally. 12GB vram usage at 4K on 5090 is not a good sign

[quartz tendon]

You need to open Defender and exclude the Game Folder from being scanned

[lucid thorn]

We're in a ram crisis, they're just being considerate

[stone comet]

I think im legit at like 8 gigs on 1440p with a 4090 lmao

[hardy owl]

Apparently its their engine. Black Desert had the same issue. Not a good sign

[fallen knoll]

thanks guys

[stone comet]

Like i know monster hunter wilda used 24gb of vram but damn i can spare some

[naive jackal]

Speaking of VRAM, w/e happened to that Nvidia Neural Compression stuff that was supposed to drastically cut VRAM usage without loss of quality

[lucid thorn]

It's gonna be in witcher 4

[faint bobcat]

vanilla moon is sooooo boootiful

[lucid thorn]

They just made a big thing about it

[faint bobcat]

sun 2.0

this is still sunset

once it gets to night

full blast 1million nits

no details

full blown clip

[lucid thorn]

Btw you guys know more

Is there any way to fix volumetrics with the way ray tracing is currently

[hardy owl]

Poor Forge. Spending so much time messing with the files must be tough for mental health lol

[lucid thorn]

Specifically the trail when birds go in front of volumetrics or when grass does

[naive jackal]

@forge The effect vanilla creates is so weird, like the player character on the ground and some other stuff go super dark but the moon and sky are lit up like Vegas

[chrome sun]

yeah it freezing my game now 😅

[solar bone]

did you apply a sand filter

or is it just to show the moon more clearly

Also are there any graphics settings that actually work better at lower values

[neon whale]

skill issue

[faint bobcat]

vanilla moon is a ctrl c + ctrl v of what they used for the sun

[solar bone]

oh lmao

[faint bobcat]

so the moon gets sun values

which is why its all clipped to hell and pure white

[karmic void]

I think RDR2 has same issue

[naive jackal]

@lucid thorn Oh it thought that it just mega geometry that was gonna be in Witcher 4, don't see that game coming out till 2028 though

[velvet cobalt]

I'm getting a crash every time I try to enable HDR now. Any extra info on how you fixed that?

[mortal wolf]

[worldly vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/darkstalkers-warewolf-gif-1990541837422104924

[narrow frost]

Is your game Fullscreen, Window, or Borderless Window?

[velvet cobalt]

Fullscreen

[narrow frost]

Odd, anything out of the ordinary since it last worked (updated drivers/mods etc)?

[lucid thorn]

Yeah, one sec

[lyric aurora]

am i retarded but i have like 12 hr of gameplay and i can't find any tp ...

[next tinsel]

Now that you fixed it, watch them "fix" it in their next patch lol.

[velvet cobalt]

Not that I can think of. HDR got disabled by mistake becuase I launched the game without HDR on in windows and after fixing that I can't reenable in game anymore.

[lucid thorn]

windows+R, go to %localappdata% - find Pearl Abyss, CD , save, edit user_engine_option_save.xml add the following below <OptionStringVector Name="_enableVsync" _value="Off"/>

<OptionBool Name="_enableHDR" _value="True"/>
<OptionInt Name="_peakLuminance" _value="1020"/>
<OptionFloat Name="_exposure" _value="0.796500"/>
<OptionInt Name="_uiLuminance" _value="30"/>
<OptionFloat Name="_gammaCorrection" _value="0.020000"/>

if you don't have vsync, just add it before </EngineOptionVideo>

[faint bobcat]

based

[next tinsel]

Have had that happen in other games, generally have to verify that HDR in windows is on, then do a pc reset.

[lucid thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

every time the sun comes up

[next tinsel]

Or the moon lol

[lucid thorn]

villagers start panicking whenever the time of day changes

[next tinsel]

Its so weird cause there are certian times night seems dark, generally early night, but by 2 or 3 am, the nebula itself is so bright it's pretty much daytime.

[lucid thorn]

its cause the moon emits light :p

[next tinsel]

Sounds like we need Piccolo to blow up the moon...Oops wrong IP.

[lucid thorn]

I've only had one weird lighting situation in a waterfall cave where everything went pitch black into I stumbled into the room with the chest and it blasted me with light

Like I got hit with a special beam cannon

[lyric aurora]

this is beautiful ....

[velvet cobalt]

This worked. You are awesome. Thanks!

[lucid thorn]

This is how medieval parties happened, read all about it

[lucid thorn]

Glad to help 🙏

[next tinsel]

This has nothing to do with lighting but you mentioning cave reminded me of it, there's this hidden door in a cave you have to push open, and just on a whim. I wondered hey can I push it closed behind me.....why yes...yes I can only way out now is to TP.

[lucid thorn]

Hahahahaha

I love player choice

Even when it's not the best choice

It still lets you!

[narrow frost]

That's weird honestly not sure what could cause it unless its just Windows being funky.
Btw this is a bit out of topic but might interest you & anyone else who wants to switch between SDR & HDR without having to manually toggle it.
I would recommend "AutoActions" by Codectory, its on Github and you can have it automatically turn On & Off HDR and other monitor settings by detecting a set running executable and or just set up shortcut keys changing monitors settings through it.
Been using it for probably about a year now.

[next tinsel]

Agreed I had a good laugh with it.

[lucid thorn]

Windows has an hdr shortcut

I think it's..
Windows alt b?

Not that, that helps you

But also sharing that :p

[narrow frost]

Problem is that it requires Gamebar running constantly with the overlay etc, and from time to time it just upright stops working lol.

[lucid thorn]

Oh my bad aha I thought it was a built in thing, like how windows alt shift ctrl + L opens linked in

[rough granite]

I use ColorControl to switch profiles easily (HDR / SDR / 48 / 60 / 120hz etc)

[pulsar bramble]

so do i need to change something with renoDX?
i have game brigthness at 203 in Reshade, but the game looks way too dark now

[viscid wedge]

I haven't turned windows HDR off in 3 years 😅

[lucid thorn]

Why is it 203

[daring orbit]

Thats what it is set too

[pulsar bramble]

Don't know, that's the preset i guess

[daring orbit]

Its just a brightness

[lucid thorn]

Oh I'm thinking of nits

Nvm you right

[daring orbit]

Adjust it to whatever looks right

[lucid thorn]

There's 2 brightness sliders isn't there

I leave game alone

[pulsar bramble]

Yeah peak brightness and game brightness

set game brgithness to 400, looks good now 🙂

[lucid thorn]

Glad it worked! Sorry for the confusion haha

[pulsar bramble]

one more question
Do i turn ingame HDR on or off for Reno?
First time using it 😄

[lament nymph]

alright this game is unplayable ... we have a camp and all but where s the outhouse

do ppl shit in the woods

[narrow frost]

Fair enough, I only ever use HDR for games.
Otherwise all is in SDR.
My list lol:

[lucid thorn]

There's outhouses in the game, but too close to the tent can you imagine the smell???

[analog prism]

I feel like the hate on chromatic aberration is overblown. Someone send me a screen showing where it looks ugly please

[lament nymph]

where ... I searched the entire city, no outhouse

[lucid thorn]

I think it was near a bandit camp tbh I'd need to actually go looking but I'm like 98% sure I've seen one

[viscid wedge]

There is one in Hernand, somewhere behind the Inn.

I'm pretty sure you hide in it during a story mission

[velvet cobalt]

Neat I'll have to look into that.

[viscid wedge]

Oh, no I just walked in and the door closed like you can hide in it if being chased

[daring orbit]

The trouble with chromatic aberrations in most games is it made to look like a film lens

I guess it is supposed to be cinematic

[chrome sun]

Well it's deactivated with reno

[lament nymph]

whereeee

are the poop stains realistic at least

ray traced poopstains?

[lucid thorn]

I hope so

[chrome sun]

Look on the sides of the screen when it's on, it's so much blurry with it, it even worse on widescreen i think

[lucid thorn]

Need those old scratch and sniff cards the old adventure games came with

[hidden ivy]

just take the damn gold bars! 😢

[lucid thorn]

Go first person and focus

[lyric aurora]

Great...

[hidden ivy]

there are no gold bars to loot, only 3d assets

[golden scaffold]

I see several streamers commenting "I can't see anything" (at night) is this just how SDR and vanilla HDR are? Crushed everywhere? Or is it something they could adjust with gamma

[lucid thorn]

Oh I haven't found unlootable bars

[viscid wedge]

every SDR youtuber video i've watched, its horribly dark

[golden scaffold]

Right? So is this sdr thing or does vanilla HDR crush too?

[lucid thorn]

Maybe they're silver bars

Or fake gold bars

[lament nymph]

ppl are saying this game gives rdr2 graphics a run for its money x.x

[chrome sun]

Hdr nights is like daylight

[golden scaffold]

I hate when games to do this 😞

[proven wedge]

where i can download renodx please?

[golden scaffold]

Right?? At least with Reno it's how it is for me. Night are actually too bright

I love it

there will be a fix on reno

[lucid thorn]

I hope it's a magikarp splash

thanks guyyys

The more I see of this game the more I'm starting to think it might be a sleeper goty

Good luck!

No way

[golden scaffold]

It probably won't be but eh. The early hate it's getting is a little undeserved

[proven wedge]

doest it fix bright of grass and ghosting in night ?

[quartz tendon]

Epic Store Exclusive

[daring orbit]

Tf is that?

[proven wedge]

i just wanted to know if my nvidia 3060 is not enough for this or is it with optimalisation

[golden scaffold]

It'll be just fine if you turn RT off

[daring orbit]

Aw fuk

[golden scaffold]

I think RT of is better than RT with no RR? But both are bad. You will only see the worst of it in interiors tho, which is not that much of the game so you good

[viscid wedge]

I wonder what the game looks like with RT off entirely, never tried

[lucid thorn]

Not amazing

Not that different though

[golden scaffold]

On the outside it's not that different

[lucid thorn]

Just loses some quality

[fresh field]

RT isnt even really taxing in this game. all of the FPS loss is mostly just RR

[golden scaffold]

It's interiors that get fucked

[viscid wedge]

Yep

[lucid thorn]

Yeah and you only gain like fps

[golden scaffold]

It's actually the RTGI that's forced on when you toggle RR and bunch of other things 📌

[lucid thorn]

3 fps

Not much of a change

[viscid wedge]

Then again I think i'm at a point where i've accepted my settings and probably not touching it at this point. It looks good enough.

[fresh field]

hardware unboxed did a video showcasing all of the settings and their FPS hits. Most dont really change a lot like you would think

[lucid thorn]

Biggest performance hits are rr obviously but also just max lighting. Max lighting is like 30% hit from cinematic or something.

[modest hatch]

Yeah same at cinematic settings without RR for me

[fresh field]

yeah, mostly just lighting to max lol

[lucid thorn]

I use these

[lucid thorn]

That's right

Max lighting just also happens to be heavy af

[viscid wedge]

Same, at 4K, DLSS4.0 Performance + RR + FG. Around 100fps.

All said and done kinda sad for a 4090 but this is AAA games in 2026 for you..

[golden scaffold]

They just need to depcuple that like wtf

[fresh field]

well we all know that devs are relying on FG/DLSS to do the 'heavy lifting' now

[flint moss]

Wait yall are finding gold bars? 🥲

[fresh field]

why fully optimize a game when FG/DLSS can carry you to higher FPS

[viscid wedge]

there is one in the fireplace at the Lioncrest Manor. Not aware of any others

[golden scaffold]

But framegen can't do any of the heavy lifting for me if RR is dropping the base fps down to 40-50s frame gen feels like garbage

[flint moss]

Same, the acceptance allows me to enjoy this game so much more

[fresh field]

yeah im not talking about RR exclusively since a lot of games dont even use it

[flint moss]

Omg ty bro I thought it had scoured everything already. So easy to miss stuff

[modest hatch]

Cinematic settings look great tbh

Especially during the day

Main problem is within indoor areas at night

[fresh field]

but then again RR in CD is vastly different than other implementations ive ever seen

[modest hatch]

Lighting looks terrible

I really dislike how they marketed the game as “4k 60 with RT on the 9070 xt!!!” But didn’t mention that the real RT was with RR

[fresh field]

well they had to make it playable on everyones 3060 somehow

the amount of ppl with higher end GPUs is like 1% lol

[modest hatch]

True

Yet somehow they’re everywhere online

[lucid thorn]

It's only rr, games fine performance wise outside of that Imo

[golden scaffold]

Could either just accept for what it is and play without RR/RT since really the biggest impact is just the indoors. There are differences outdoors but it's something only DF can immidiatelly spot, for you and me it's like

[fresh field]

like if you look at steam spec surveys most have them xx60 GPUs

[modest hatch]

Probably because enthusiasts are willing to pay more

[fresh field]

i think 1080p is still the largest used resolution in 2026

[lucid thorn]

The amount of **90 people I've run into recently is insane the 5090 is like 6k CAD

[modest hatch]

Yeah I’m at max settings just without RR

[fresh field]

yeah im geting 120ish FPS @ 1440p with all ultra, DLSS balanced with RR/FG on

DLAA instead of DLSS is around 60 FPS

[modest hatch]

Idk how ppl are affording the 5090 rn unless they’re mega rich

[lucid thorn]

No kids or whatever too

[modest hatch]

What GPU

[lucid thorn]

I got 2 kids that's where my 5090 money is

[fresh field]

4080 super

[lucid thorn]

Nvidia is also just insane. The 9070xt on sale is like 800CAD + tax, the 5080 is like 2k+

[fresh field]

yeah nvidia superioer

duh

[lucid thorn]

Hey man I wasn't allowed to get anything from the last class action

[analog prism]

Even if I was rich, I'd rather go one tier lower and upgrade sooner

[viscid wedge]

3 years old but this comment still holds true in the vast majority of cases. (i'm one of them)

[modest hatch]

LOL.

[abstract hawk]

Lmaoooo

[wispy crown]

3 years and you still can't get much better when it comes to hardware. Crazy times.

[golden scaffold]

Well probably because poor slobs don't bother to post their setups as much as those that can show off

[lament nymph]

why even do anything, dlss 5 gonna make everything looks instagram like

[lucid thorn]

My last Nvidia card was the 970, ran that thing in SLI. It was not worth it. And then the card had a class action and I couldn't participate probably cause I'm in canada I dunno there was some reason but this was years ago

[modest hatch]

NGL the MSRP of the 9070 xt made it hella attractive

[golden scaffold]

Also first comment yep that's me

[lucid thorn]

Anyway SLI hasn't been a thing for years 😂

[modest hatch]

Although the 5070ti before the ram shortage was pretty good too

[vivid iris]

I live in perpetual want of the flagship but every generation it's just impossible to justify lol

[lucid thorn]

Ye this

[viscid wedge]

Same. So much same.

[modest hatch]

Black Friday there was a 750$ Asus prime 5070ti on Amazon

Crazy

[ocean onyx]

i can afford the flagship every gen and have never been able to justify it in any scenario

[wispy crown]

Still think the 4090 was an insanely good buy at MSRP.

[lucid thorn]

I've had occasional fomo for experiencing path tracing in cyberpunk or the rr in crimson (I've mentioned that before I think) but I can't justify the costs :p

[hidden ivy]

I just buy the flagship of every second generation, still have the 4090

[ocean onyx]

path tracing is a joke so far

[viscid wedge]

I actually kinda screwed up by not selling me 4090 and going 5090 when it was feasible. Its actually a bad move not to do that.

[modest hatch]

The 5080 runs PT quite well with dlss P and 2x fg

[neon whale]

same here TBH. Only now I'm kinda spending a little bit more but even then I see no reason TBH

[lucid thorn]

It's like 2k CAD 😂

[modest hatch]

I get around 100 fps

I got it for 1175 USD

[lucid thorn]

That's like 50 fps

[ocean onyx]

i tend to upgrade every gen these days but only because the old gpus hold value so well and i can get the upgrade for almost nothing

[vivid iris]

other than loading games up with mods, the 5070 ti has been plenty gpu for me

[golden scaffold]

I always go for the golden middle best value. This time it was 4070 Ti Super I got just when it came out and I think it was a great decision. 900€ was an amazing deal compared to what you got for the vanilla series on release (4080 priced at like 1500€??)

[fresh field]

GPU prices have skyrocketed since the RAM shortage started. MSRP for a 5090 was 1999 and you could get one at launch for like 2300 but now they are like $4000 or more

[modest hatch]

Fg and DLSS p is pretty good in cyberpunk

[manic finch]

you can also pickpocket gold bars from nobles. You can use your blinding light to see if they have loot to steal.

[wispy crown]

Played almost every game available with PT. Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones and the great circle and Alan Wake 2. They all look substantially better with PT imho.

[neon whale]

same.

[modest hatch]

The 5090 I believe could run it at around 90 FPS with only DLSS P

Close to 60 at quality

[lucid thorn]

When I bought my 7900xt it was 1100 cad, the 7900xtx and 4080 were both 1500 and 1600 respectively at the time

[fresh field]

5080s now sell for the MSRP of a 5090 at around 2k

[viscid wedge]

5070Ti at $750 was the hero for everyman

[flint moss]

This game has me looking at 5090 cards, but im just being stupid xd

[fresh field]

yes, very stupid to buy a GPU in this market

[ocean onyx]

you'll note this is a list of 3 games, but i was always particularly underwhelmed with the quality on offer in 2077 and especially in alan wake 2

[modest hatch]

In my country the cheapest one is like 1500 usd

[neon whale]

bought my 5070Ti from a guy that a months after he bought it, his car broken down completely so he had to buy a new one. got the card for 680 euros

[modest hatch]

Man if the 5090 was at MSRP rn I could get one

Ahhhh

[viscid wedge]

the $1999 TUF 5090 deal that went on for a week or two was the ticket.. so sad I didn't act.

[manic finch]

I was able to sell my 4090 more than I paid for and upgraded to a 5090 for not much more

[golden scaffold]

If it wasn't for DLSS I would actually be very sad even with my 4070 Ti Super now. I mean I'm basically gaming at 1080p on 4K displays and it's like oh yeah that's the best thing ever

[fresh field]

yeah im exaggerating. they are around 1500 currently. but the MSRP is 999 🙁

[modest hatch]

Sad the 4070ti super isn’t a 4k card

It’s quite powerful

[golden scaffold]

It absolutely is?

[manic finch]

i also bought a 5070ti for under msrp before they stopped making one. That is for my living room pc connected to the 4k s90f

[ocean onyx]

native res doesn't exist anymore

[golden scaffold]

It's got 16gb that's basically what makes it a 4K requirement

[modest hatch]

I mean in terms of power of course but optimization is just bad nowadays

[fresh field]

it is if you want to cut a lot of corners. a xx70 card is considered mid-tier for 1440p at high setting/FPS

but youc an for sure run it 4k at lower settings and FPS

[modest hatch]

NGL

In this market if I wanted to play at 4k

[lucid thorn]

UE5 specifically

[modest hatch]

At 60 fps

I’d get a ps5 pro

[golden scaffold]

Uh yeah it can just barely do above 60 for newest titles. It's just on the verge of "decent" anything less it would be bad

[modest hatch]

Yh

[ocean onyx]

i mean there's no argument against ps5/pro for value

[fresh field]

if you want good 4k @60 or above with high settings, you will need a 5080 at minimum but a 5090 cause devs are lazy

[modest hatch]

These days no doubt

It’s great value actually

[golden scaffold]

Yup and I do own a pro but there's a very good reason we all know here I don't use it anymore as much

[modest hatch]

My 5080 is hanging in there at native res without RT

[neon whale]

i mean depending on what card you have right now you could run the same game at the same settings as the PS5 pro and you'll end up with more FPS

[modest hatch]

But like barely

[golden scaffold]

Uhhhhhhh

PS5 CPU tho...

[fresh field]

no thanks

[neon whale]

the problem with us PC gamer is I see a setting, I put it to max and GG

KEKW

[modest hatch]

I mean when you pay all that

You deserve to be able to put it at max

It’s your right IMO

If devs can’t do that for you that’s on them most of the time

[golden scaffold]

But the thing is these days difference between max and low barely affects fps

[viscid wedge]

So i'm set to mostly Cinematic with a few Ultra settings here and there. 4K starting res I grabbed a screencap of DLSS4.0 Quality, Balanced and Performance. In a still shot, it was really hard to tell the difference. Quality is a bit nicer in motion. I can't really tell you which of these is which but I guess thats a good thing.

[golden scaffold]

It's more about do you turn RT on

[neon whale]

yeah this^

[golden scaffold]

Wrong content to compare. Now go indoors. We know outdoors is mostly fine without any RT

(and compare video not still image)

[proven wedge]

how you turn on renodx in game?

[neon whale]

if you have the addon set up it works by default

press the home button on the keyboard

it shouldbe there

remember to turn on HDR in game

[worthy belfry]

yeah im on a 4070 and cinematic settings 1440p dlss quality with fg nearly locking it to 120 feels so good but the boiling and noise is sooooo bad indoors so i play on dlss balanced with rr on and fg taking it to 70-80fps (feels mid)

[quartz tendon]

home button on keyboard, should show a message in the top left when starting up game (if reshade with addons installed and file at .exe location)

[viscid wedge]

I wasn't thinking about RT, just purely upscaling. Nothing else changed.

[proven wedge]

where i can download also reshade?

[neon whale]

from the site

you need the full addon support version

[golden scaffold]

Yeah fg wasn't feeling good for me hovering around the 60s same situation here, perf on 4k looks like native but ultra perf loses a lot of fidelity (too much). Have to choose between ps5 looking like upscale or RR

[viscid wedge]

Not to be smart, but basic google skills go a long way, especially when modding games.

[worthy belfry]

i chose rr at 1440p balanced with fg on, best i could get it feeling without it looking like poo poo

[viscid wedge]

Being serious, its a life skill at this point that is dying.

[golden scaffold]

How can people get here and know about the mod without knowing reshade?

[sick monolith]

could yall point me to a place that has horrible indoor lighting with RR off

[golden scaffold]

For me it's absolutely everywhere

[neon whale]

don't tell me about it. I have a sister with that stupid phone always in her hands but couldn't do any basic research whatsoever. now that she is at UNI away from home she is starting to get better at it T.T

[weary tangle]

If it has 4 walls and a door go for it

[worthy belfry]

the game compiles shaders again everytime i restart, is that normal?

[golden scaffold]

Yeah turns on browsing social media all day isn't a life skill 😭

[golden scaffold]

We had like 3 patches in 3 days 💀

[viscid wedge]

On first startup, updating GPU drivers or updating RenoDX it will do a long recompile. On every other normal startup, its very short.

[neon whale]

you're telling me doomscrolling sn't necessary to live life? 😂

[worthy belfry]

looool yeah

[worthy belfry]

aw okay, itll be because i updated renodx

[viscid wedge]

I see it every day and frankly its terrifying.

[lucid thorn]

That happens whenever I get a new reno file

[viscid wedge]

Yep

[worthy belfry]

it just feels like everytime cause everytime ive loaded it up ive done something then lol

[golden scaffold]

It annoys the crap out of me when I get remarks how can you guys enjoy wasting time playing these stupid videogames meanwhile she literally doom scrolling all day long

[worthy belfry]

im at uni and i hate research

[neon whale]

trying to reduce the amount of cables in my setup. time to bench my 1995 keyboard

[worthy belfry]

writing my dissertation rn lol

but yeah i would google reshade if i didnt know what it is

[sick monolith]

that dissertation will be done before this game is fixed

[karmic quest]

Since I'm dumb I better ask.. does Reshade with full add on support means I download that version + select all the effects too?

[worthy belfry]

hopefully lol

i only need like 5k more words to hit the minimum

[hybrid geyser]

anyone know why my map only renders targets on the bottom half of the map?

[neon whale]

no, just install reshade you can skip effect and addon on setup

[golden scaffold]

You need no effects you can also safely delete the Reshade folder with all it's bundled effects

[karmic quest]

tysm

[neon whale]

I would recommend to install the lilium HDR shaders though.

[sick monolith]

no they all eat performance.. only select ones you will use.

[neon whale]

I feel like this game needs SHarpening to 0 and RCAS activated

[karmic quest]

I will use only renodx

[golden scaffold]

Lilloum HDR analyzer is a super fun tool to use and learn how HDR stuff works btw if you're into that

[sick monolith]

install > dx12 > uncheck all > next > skip

[golden scaffold]

It still installs the basics effects I never use 😭 so I just delete and copy over my other folders that have Liliums stuff in it

[karmic quest]

After work I just want to game man 😭

[golden scaffold]

I wish I could do that instead of spending 3/4 of the time analysing HDR what's wrong with me

[worthy belfry]

im going to get made fun of but if i increase my game brightness to like 350 nits or so is that less accurate/not how it should look vs keeping it at 203

[fresh field]

its subjective, i put mine to 250

[karmic quest]

Lmfao, downloading from discord screams nothing about it.

[sick monolith]

u should try calibration with a probe

[worthy belfry]

thank u

[neon whale]

I keep 203 game brightness normally but always reduce the UI brightness if possible

[golden scaffold]

350 is absolutely wild tho but do what you want

[worthy belfry]

loool

idk i just feel like im squinting a little sometimes when its at 203

[karmic quest]

at 400 nits ( settings ) In this game it feels overexposed.. in other games with HDR true black on it doesnt feel like that..

[lament nymph]

my horse is rich while I'm poor as fk

[golden scaffold]

ABL? What monitor? Also this game has that exposure problem. But some things look better and brighter now with the V3 add-on

[sick monolith]

dark room you reduce.. bright room you increase from 203

[karmic quest]

in this game its blowing my eye balls out

[steel wolf]

Are the shadows supposed to be this dark? It has the same issue in vanilla. Overall very happy with the reno mod outside of this.

[worthy belfry]

aoc q27g3xmn

[golden scaffold]

Must be ABL/EOTF issues then 🤷‍♂️ common complaint with oled monitor users they are on the dimmer side

[worthy belfry]

this is mini led

350 was too bright tho ive actually reduced it to 280 lol

[golden scaffold]

Ok you shouldn't be having to increase paper white above 200 then wtf

[sick monolith]

203 is fine.. let the peak nits burn your eyes.. in this game it's not too bright like others

[golden scaffold]

Try contrast at 50, it's what I find looks best. It's much more natural looking

[sour heart]

where can i find the download link of the mod?

[karmic quest]

but the game slider tells to adjust until you barely see!

[steel wolf]

Thanks will i give it a shot

[worthy belfry]

it looks fine at 203 during daytime but at night its a little too dark for me so i increased it a little

[golden scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-gif-22572243

[worthy belfry]

but the nights r dark in this game lol

[golden scaffold]

No they're not? Wtf?

[fresh field]

thats why i did 250 as well. i may modify it down to like 225

[sick monolith]

the in game slider is ignored when you select psycho in renodx

[golden scaffold]

Nights are too bright for me

[pulsar bramble]

I also increased it to 350, otherwise way to dark

[golden scaffold]

(my paper white is 150)

[worthy belfry]

wowzers

[golden scaffold]

Nights are almost like day

[fresh field]

mine was more internal areas. no night night. like walking indoors felt a lot darker, even during the day lol

[worthy belfry]

maybe u have chad eyes and mine r soyjack

[faint bobcat]

vanilla / modified

the nights are day

pretty much

[golden scaffold]

Well first thing to do is decrease default contrast from 60 to 50 in the mod

[sick monolith]

wdym nights... @golden scaffold

[golden scaffold]

Yeah. It's not night at all

[karmic quest]

What are the best settings ? I have AW2725D monitor and Im running True Black HDR 400 setting in monitor

[steel wolf]

You're talking about the brightness option? I thought the standard was supposed to be 203 or does it depend on display/game?

[hardy owl]

Oh my god

[worthy belfry]

ya i put them to 50 50

[hardy owl]

Dude Forge, you are killing me here

[golden scaffold]

You can set it lower if you're a vampire in a dark room like me 🦇

[sick monolith]

i thought my monitor had a hole wth

[quartz tendon]

I just found the donation tab in the RenoDX itself, will def give something with my next paycheck 😄

[hardy owl]

The pictures must be seen with HDR on btw otherwise you'll just see black images

[golden scaffold]

Ok so... Is this upcoming for the next version..? Iirc nights are still very bright last time I played (V2)

[hardy owl]

I have already donated them a few times in a couple of days. The guys are working full time and they deserve it

[faint bobcat]

Nights will be controllable via Auto Exposure toggle

if you want the virgin nights

you can just untoggle

and use vanilla

but that also means you will have blown out nuke skies again

[hardy owl]

I want the whore nights man

[faint bobcat]

They "promised" use actual dark nights

and they didnt gib

[faint bobcat]

Anyways, tried forcing higher draw distance for emissives, local lights and all

nada

[sick monolith]

can we reduce the intensity of the focus light please (it's r1 or l1 i think)? that focus light will kill the vibe of what you created here

[neon whale]

isn't this like way too dark? feels like those light sources gets destroyed

[mortal wolf]

this is trippy AF for me, because the FOV and luminance change

[hardy owl]

If you watch these pictures in SDR they will look completely black. You must watch them with HDR device

[lucid thorn]

Sounds like there's silence/something we're missing :p

[faint bobcat]

? which focus light? the hero light that gets applied on to characters close up has a seperate toggle aka hero light toggle

[neon whale]

oh right, I'm on my second monitor right now KEKW

[faint bobcat]

The camera moved by itself on the second pic

so the FOV is different

[mortal wolf]

i'm convinced the browser is doing a cross fade

or something

[burnt berry]

Might have to finally try this camera mod i keep seeing pop up

[mortal wolf]

nope, just good ol' fashion optical illusion

[sick monolith]

i think both of them are too intense.. ruins the mood

[mortal wolf]

i'll work on a proper eye adaptation

[faint bobcat]

You can debug their current setup becasue its a mess

I fixed 80% of the slop

or however much

[karmic quest]

how do I fix this? I unblocked it in properties..

[lucid thorn]

Is the file still in the folder

Yo guys what material is ProceduralGrowth aha

[karmic quest]

Yes

[mortal wolf]

antivirus

[karmic quest]

I simply dropped in my game folder after downloading like instruction said

[mortal wolf]

4551 is antivirus

your computer doesn't trust you

[lucid thorn]

That's fair tbh I don't trust myself lately on this thing

[lucid thorn]

That's a hell of a gif

Sorry emoji

Thought it was animated

[karmic quest]

I thought if I just simply unblock it in properties it'd fix it

So what's the fix to it tho

[mortal wolf]

tell windows defender to not call it a virus

[sick monolith]

simply adding your games folder will do.. C:\Games

[karmic quest]

Do you guys also use DLSS swapper or nah

[hardy owl]

For what? The game's settings offer you all the best DLSS types

[stray grove]

@hardy owl to update dlss.dll from 310.5.2 to 310.5.3

[lucid thorn]

What if he wants dlss 1 or 2

[hardy owl]

[stray grove]

also can change Dlss preset with dlss swapper

[karmic quest]

I just read that turning on ray reconstruction forces also DLSS to older gen

[lucid thorn]

Well

[stray grove]

@karmic quest it does force to either preset D or E

[karmic quest]

and 4.5 preset E is reportedly sharper

[lucid thorn]

"older"

[lucid thorn]

Just turn on sharpening

You have the power

[karmic quest]

Not that kind of sharpening

[lucid thorn]

Oh sorry

[karmic quest]

Picture less blurry on screen

tho that could be due to FG

[lucid thorn]

Or motion blur

Or a mix

[karmic quest]

who

in their right state of mind

runs blur

[faint bobcat]

I do

motion blur is based

stop being a gamer

[upper sun]

Without blur the video i sent yday happens KEKW~7

[karmic quest]

You are drunk

[lucid thorn]

I have mine at 100 thank you very much

[faint bobcat]

Also use Shortfuses film grain

[sick monolith]

you need a really small amount in games

[crude marsh]

motion blur is pretty much exclusively a good thing to run (when its correct and the right amount)

[faint bobcat]

Film grain and motion blur are a must

[viscid wedge]

I set Preset E, didn't see a difference. (running RR at 4K). RCAS for sharpening.

[golden scaffold]

Will they be ever able to fix rain? (Developers on Nvidia?)

[karmic quest]

ah yes, might as well fly to sahara desert to collect grains of sand.

[upper sun]

This happens for me with blur on 0 KEKW~7

[lucid thorn]

I realize 100 is excessive but yeah I like a tasteful motion blur when I'm using a controller, makes my camera feel nicer

[golden scaffold]

Why does all rain dissapear even on DLSS 4.5?

[crude marsh]

full screen blur is not it

[karmic quest]

engine bug or smth, fsr has the same problem

[lucid thorn]

Can't rain all the time ever. Jensen, probably

[sick monolith]

i thought it's fixed already. i just walked through a rainstorm with RR on

[quartz tendon]

Ye I have modded any HDR game with RenoDX and aim to pay accordingly, just didn't have the money lately, due to changes between jobs.

[crude marsh]

rain is apparently semi random

[karmic quest]

Ok, we went of track I forgot how to exclude the app from virus scans.

[lucid thorn]

Rain is so good

[lucid thorn]

Whenever my game tells me it's a problem I tell it that it's not and to exclude it

[golden scaffold]

The only time I could see a lot of rain was during nighttime in the prologue. Daytime rain just blends in like a blur

[stray grove]

i wouldnt say rain is so good with RR on look pretty bad

[hardy owl]

Rain looks grainy when using ray reconstruction and Raytracing in this game. It looks weird

[karmic quest]

I cannot find that setting in windows 11

[karmic quest]

I mean I see how it looks, but dont know how to find it, typing it in search brings up nothin

[lucid thorn]

This is not the right solution but when you dye armor you can change material, and the smoother material looks better with no RR

[karmic quest]

Can I like allow it from protection history too?

[lucid thorn]

Sorry not material

[sick monolith]

ask people to tell you which exactly is RR on or off.

[lucid thorn]

Well maybe material but there's a repair setting make it 100%

That'll make the armor smooth

[karmic quest]

We all know, its the left one.

RR OFF

[lucid thorn]

I found this by accident btw

[viscid wedge]

supposedly, not sure how to do that. I just added the game directory to my exclusion list manually, download the file then quickly drag and drop it in. (before it notices it i nthe downloads folder)

[lucid thorn]

Yes

You just click on it

Then I think an option on the right is to restore it or something

I assumed it would stop deleting it after thar

[quartz tendon]

I usually set Filmgrain to 30, does ShortFuse recommend higher or lower? Also isn't it mostly to hide Colour Banding btw?

[karmic quest]

nah, still same error

[lucid thorn]

Ah okay just exclude the folder

[sick monolith]

lmao

[karmic quest]

Im just blind or smth, Ive gone through the entire windows security thing and see no exclusion option

[lucid thorn]

You're like "try something I dare you"

[karmic quest]

omg found it

finally

[chrome sun]

There were a time when devs could make nice reflections and lights without raytracing

[viscid wedge]

I said what to click in the link i sent to get there, they hide it

[lucid thorn]

Yeah they made the world twice

[sick monolith]

the real antivirus is the user..

[lucid thorn]

And mirrored it 😂

[sick monolith]

you have the final say in UAC

[lucid thorn]

If you run it :p

[sick monolith]

antivirus is useless see..

[karmic quest]

bro is saying that while some indian is waiting for the right moment to snatch all the credit card details so they can buy google play gift cards.

[viscid wedge]

I mean, this annoyance is it doing its job. I kinda get it, even if its temporarily frustrating.

[sick monolith]

the computer always asks you

[karmic quest]

Still getting same error..

Even with exclusions

wtf

did I do smth wrong

[quartz tendon]

Exclude the whole folder

[sick monolith]

G:\SteamLibrary

[viscid wedge]

I did this and its been fine.

[sick monolith]

if you get virused in steam.. sue gaben

[karmic quest]

Thanks, appreciate the help.

[sick monolith]

put the whole drive in lmao

[karmic quest]

he will tell you fuck you and ban you while at it.

[chrome sun]

don't buy weird indy games

[viscid wedge]

gaben is too busy on his yachts

[modest hatch]

Anyone else faced an issue with enabling frame gen where it made you locked to 30 fps after disabling it?

[chrome sun]

a trojan in a game update happened in a game i think don't remember wich game it was

[karmic quest]

like the fuck, hello?

What else am I supposed to do

restart my pc or smth

[faint bobcat]

@crude marsh

I did something

is this it?

I dunno why its green

I didnt add a debug colour

[sick monolith]

light passsing through a building

[chrome sun]

go put some neons like cyberpunk

[coarse cargo]

I get the same green and sometimes yellow ones. Happens usually after some inventory cutscene like using a vendor or refinement. It will glitch out like that.

[sick monolith]

exact spot that has mismatch with the flame with RR off

[radiant oriole]

is there a specific preset i need to turn on after downloading or

[karmic quest]

Im still getting the error with that addon even with exclusion.

[faint bobcat]

because RR off spawns new Deferredlight shaders

I havent patched those

Use RR

Going to locke down Reno to RR only

if you dont have it on

PC blows up

Game is disgusting to play without RR

[little lily]

oh my god.. the 5090 video...

[faint bobcat]

its already disgusting as is

[vivid iris]

forge says if you don't have a 5090 you can't play the game

[faint bobcat]

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

[karmic quest]

Can i try this instead of manually doing shit

[little lily]

i got quick question, i have a tv with local dimming zones, should i have it on at max when calibrating hdr in windows?

[vivid iris]

yes it will work

[sick monolith]

max local dimming or max brightness?

[jolly jolt]

not sure my aging 3080 can handle RR with the turbo settings the game enables with it 🙁

unless RR is decoupled from all the setting changes now?

[sly niche]

Forget it, my 4090 is barely making it

[faint bobcat]

Time to bake custom lighting

[ruby tusk]

Was just catching up on all the messages, you guys are doing the lords work, really appreciate yall

[faint bobcat]

Parallax corrected Cubemaps my beloved

[lucid thorn]

^

[modest hatch]

I think you could play dlss p with RR and max settings but you’ll be barely hitting 60 fps

[little lily]

there are two toggles, local contrast and peak brightness

[lucid thorn]

They're smart, I like to pretend I know what's going on but they work fast

[tawny ravine]

@mortal wolf Is it worth it to buy his optimised settings

[faint bobcat]

oh god

P40 back at it again

[sick monolith]

what you need is HGIG on, DTM off, and local dimming ON

brightness value is preference..

[karmic quest]

Im about to throw my pc out of the window, whats the point of excluding it from scans when it still wont let me open, firewall exclusion?

[faint bobcat]

@gilded plover

[lucid thorn]

Wait genuine question

[mortal wolf]

9 hearts, maybe $27 already

[solar bone]

N

[lucid thorn]

Why is he not using windows calibration tool

[fresh field]

is this a case of that one dude that posts the same 'optimized settings' for every UE5 game on nexus mods? lol

[digital quest]

I have a 4070 and it is struggling too but like Forge said I would rather play with RR than off. Best we could hope is if Lazorr could manage to do a lite version of the RT we get RR maybe Shrug~2

[lucid thorn]

God I hate that

[fresh field]

but its like the same file and settings just copy/pasted

[golden scaffold]

calibrating doesn't do anything if you're using reno or native hdr, but if you do calibrate something, use the same settings you would when playing the content

windows calibration only affects windows autohdr and nvidia rtx hdr defaults btw

[teal pumice]

based

[lucid thorn]

Does it?

I thought I needed to calibrate

Bro I don't know what I'm doing

[golden scaffold]

which one? and yeah i'm sure on this. you don't really calibrate "anything". it's for autohdr

[lucid thorn]

I know reno uses the brightness from that calibration

[solar bone]

Hell yeah this reshade sounds aweso...

[little lily]

dynamic tone mapping not available in the screen option cant be toggled on cuz i am in gaming mode

[golden scaffold]

oh wow yeah, i guess that's helpful then

[lucid thorn]

I know nothing about HDR 😭

[vivid iris]

this is wild, the game has two sliders

[solar bone]

who doesn't want to go blind during their playthrough

[digital quest]

facemelt

[teal pumice]

sorry we dont do that here

hgig is the one choice

[lucid thorn]

I learned that yesterday. It's default nits matches your current color profile

[ruby tusk]

Some people either don’t test their reshades or have insanely uncalibrated monitors

[sick monolith]

oh great then do the calibration then take note of your max nits.

[faint bobcat]

local light source draw distance btw

[golden scaffold]

i get confused with that one because i have 2 displays and windows keeps mixing up my ICCs. sometimes I see defaulting it to 700, 800 then 2000 🤷‍♂️ i paid no attention to it

[little lily]

yeah i am generally happy about the brightness i am getting, but the tv brand states it can produce 2600 nits in brightness.. and my calibration settings are these

[teal pumice]

not buying it is a huge loss

[lucid thorn]

Oh I set mine deliberately

[teal pumice]

[solar bone]

did they just set every goddamn distance slider to the same, including shadows

[lucid thorn]

But that's fair and confusing

[fleet jacinth]

hdr is only available for 4090 and above

[tawny ravine]

I mean for 3$ it sounds like a steal

[fleet jacinth]

thats how it goes

[sick monolith]

what tcl model is this?

[fleet jacinth]

blame the 7 years of optimization

[lucid thorn]

Imagine it's a global shader param that's just in one spot

[ruby tusk]

Jesus

[teal pumice]

no i was joking, that guy is a well known grifter

[lucid thorn]

And that's why we can't find it

[lucid thorn]

You buy it and the video is b roll of crimson desert with him saying "thanks for the $3"

[golden scaffold]

that's odd you should go here https://discord.com/channels/1161035767917850784/1178744414957473842

[tawny ravine]

Ya I figured that out

[little lily]

will do, thanks for help

[karmic quest]

I guess not meant to be, I ve even tried to add the addon64 to my firewall exception but I still get the same error code, pc restart also did nothing

[robust gorge]

its my first time i use Renodx +mods and its crazy its like i play another game....
Now l can see what my Qf3225 can give me

Thanks a lot

[lucid thorn]

Enjoy the desert

[next tinsel]

Sierra Orange Desert

[cosmic zenith]

Glad to hear that! I've been too swamped at work to get there yet

[patent bough]

where can I review the code?

[teal steeple]

https://klipy.com/gifs/dog-dog-staring-at-sun-2

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/99?tab=description

[digital quest]

4K- like

pepeSlop

[lucid thorn]

You've returned

[teal steeple]

So fascinating seeing these reshades

[vivid iris]

oh whoops, forgot to link it the second time https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx/tree/main/src/games/crimsondesert

that's the code for this specific addon

[abstract hawk]

How's the overall progress coming of this, are we like 30% there or 70% there with being satisfied?

[vivid iris]

HDR is pretty much done

[abstract hawk]

Nice, so just Forge slop left?

[vivid iris]

forge still slaving away at changing how the game works

[abstract hawk]

Nice

[ruby tusk]

Appreciate yall

[abstract hawk]

@faint bobcat saw you chatting around in other channels and this still isn't done.

https://tenor.com/view/richard-attenborough-whip-whipped-whiplash-whiplashed-gif-16685949900343051341

[karmic quest]

What else can I try if Exception and FireWall exception for the addon does not work.

[plush parcel]

@faint bobcat Can we (you 😂 ) tone down this retina damaging circle ?

[karmic quest]

It still throws the same 4551 error

[sick monolith]

rename it probably

[plush parcel]

Update reshade?

[karmic quest]

and add another exception for that?

[karmic quest]

Ive done this 3 times.

[sick monolith]

if you already added the whole steam folder then you shouldn't need to add another exception

[faint bobcat]

so this is how engine GPs feel like

just constant

fix it bro

cant rest

[ruby tusk]

just go into windows protection history and set it to ignore for that file

ez

[karmic quest]

This is driving me crazy

[ruby tusk]

[abstract hawk]

But no diagnosis from my end, of course.

That's the important part.

[faint bobcat]

colour based I would say 70%

rendering based

-100%

[abstract hawk]

[ruby tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-meme-gif-8313670822268448362

The rendering of this game is just...

[lucid thorn]

Are you using optiscaler

[teal pumice]

wdym

[karmic quest]

Nah, I uninstalled it ages ago

[sick monolith]

don't bother. the game is broken as forge says

[teal pumice]

the rendering is great

according to...DF

[lucid thorn]

Credit to the devs btw https://crimsondesert.pearlabyss.com/en-US/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=75

[ruby tusk]

more like Delusional Foundry

[viscid wedge]

when you uninstall reshade, are you going in and removing any old reshade related files that are leftover?

[viscid wedge]

damn, I got excited for another patch

[teal pumice]

thats a good name

[small ferry]

If I see this in-game, I'm good? I thought I saw there were settings with RenoDX, or am I mistaken?

[viscid wedge]

you should have a RenoDX tab. Zoom out

[karmic quest]

I specifically open reshade installer exe again, uninstall everything and delete the preset file it leaves after.

[small ferry]

Ah cheers I do see that

[viscid wedge]

yeah the Uninstall function leaves behind some things

[small ferry]

Do we have recommended settings or these are all based on your display?

[viscid wedge]

My guy just take another screenshot of the whole window

Oh nevermind, you did find it

[sick monolith]

i would like to see forge list

[lucid thorn]

Sorry just fixing crashes

[lapis smelt]

After the DLSS5 Glaze they are so fucking over to me lol, except for John and Alex

[crude marsh]

did you turn off light culling

[viscid wedge]

Oh thank god they know about it

[lucid thorn]

Mostly display, but Imo you can run the settings stock and be happy

[teal pumice]

wtf John

[viscid wedge]

I haven't been able to sleep or wait at a campfire for like a week of ingame time

[karmic quest]

Yeah, but it leaves behind only 1 file so its not hard to miss..

[teal pumice]

John was over here long time ago

after he shared his insane takes on HDR

[sick monolith]

how do you force fix it?

[viscid wedge]

no idea, is that even possible?

[lucid thorn]

Given that you can't rest twice back to back or whatever some boolean is probably not resetting

After x time aha

[karmic quest]

What error code is this now

Got something new atleast lol

[lucid thorn]

4556

[karmic quest]

So funny

[jade flame]

A whole patch for 1 fix??

[karmic quest]

imagine coming from work and spending like almost 2 hours of fuckall

[lucid thorn]

Laz says defender I think

[karmic quest]

I already have it in exception list

[lucid thorn]

That's all a hotfix is

[ionic parcel]

this helmet, wtf ;((

[dire pilot]

Oh so that's why Kliff refuses to sleep lol

[lucid thorn]

What's wrong with it

You can dye it

Make it whatever color you want

[lucid thorn]

Hmmmmm

[jade flame]

DLAA + HDR issue still not on the list. FFS....

[lucid thorn]

Wonder if it's an Nvidia driver problem

Not sure why but imagine

[small ferry]

Mod working great for me out of the box for the most part. Only thing is I feel like dark areas are almost too dark. Recommended way to bump that up?

I've heard some folks mention a black floor fix addon as well, would that be appropriate?

[lucid thorn]

Could raise shadow in hdr or.. There's another I forgot

[ruby tusk]

I still watch their content but sometimes they be trippin

[jade flame]

Doubt it.
The issue happens on every driver I have tried.
And it is only this game.

[lucid thorn]

You can tweak the values to your liking

[viscid wedge]

yeah, been a little annoying

[sick monolith]

what's the issue exactly?

[karmic quest]

Suck a fat one Microsoft.

holy shit
