Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[lucid thorn]

The scope of the shit you guys come up with is impressive

[ionic parcel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/171

[final widget]

oo

[lethal dawn]

What’s the lantern mod you’re talking about?

[vivid iris]

I forgot the SDR black crush fix with framegen

[ionic parcel]

is this with LetThereBeMoreLight or without?

[golden scaffold]

that would be "morelightsmod" something but you should get the adjusted one wron winter

[true dagger]

yes with, the one that lazorr mentioned above

[crude marsh]

oh my god, I just noticed that they have flower patches, but within the flower patches the flowers are randomly generated

within like 10 feet

[final widget]

Does that look good or bad

[true dagger]

#1469072401450012774 message

[lethal dawn]

Huh? From who?

Ah ok

[lethal dawn]

Are there install instructions

[crude marsh]

here

[viscid wedge]

in the pinned message

[final widget]

That looks fine

[true dagger]

ive noticed something like this with rocks some rocks too that spawn close up

[crude marsh]

New one here #1469072401450012774 message

[crude marsh]

yeah those are all procedural

[ionic parcel]

just drop them in the game dir, overwrite (make a backup of these files just in case)

[crude marsh]

I just didn't realize there were also random flowers

like this

[golden scaffold]

does the camera mod actually work for anybody? i wanted to get it closer towards character but even the closest one it's still very far for me? like no difference

[golden scaffold]

any updates since winters adjustment?

[viscid wedge]

so funny watchign them pop up as you run towards them

[golden scaffold]

shader toggler (no hud mod) turns that off if you want

[viscid wedge]

i've heard, but that looks too complicated

[ionic parcel]

it does, picked the 1st preset (w3/rdr2)

[golden scaffold]

i'd say you're not missing out on anything by turning that off. they literally pop off only 2 meter away from you

[golden scaffold]

its as simple as reno

[covert ruin]

dos it remove the little bits on the road in town too that pop up like 2 ft in front

[golden scaffold]

i'm really not sure it's working for me. i tried 2 after 1 wasn't close enough and it seems as far as the original

[viscid wedge]

i looked briefly and it seemed like you had to decipher code to figure out which shader corresponded to what and make groups, or something. didn't seem worth my time.

[golden scaffold]

it pretty much deletes only stuff that appears right in front of you (2 meter radius)

[golden scaffold]

nah its mega simple i'll show you the ui let me load into the game

[ionic parcel]

oh mb static camera has to be checked as well, so it doesn't zoom out when you are running, riding a horse, etc

[lethal dawn]

Yes it does!

[viscid wedge]

oh don't worry about it, its not exactly a huge issue and I just loaded the game up mysef

[crude marsh]

nah I was trying to do other stuff

[lethal dawn]

Ok this is the one people are using for a better lantern?

Kinda worried about everything else it does

I just want the better lantern. Not every light to be brighter

[crude marsh]

well have you tried the reno autoexposure stuff

that was why it was made

[faint bobcat]

This you? /s

[golden scaffold]

have you checked improved fovs, maybe that's what breaks it? i'll try with no fov

[fresh smelt]

game looks good now

[lethal dawn]

Yeah I like the darkness. I’m just worried everything else will make it too bright now?

[true dagger]

chill i've only set it to 5.5x 😭

[crude marsh]

its only for using with reno autoexposure setting to make the lights more prominent

[faint bobcat]

that grass though

[ionic parcel]

i did, picked 2nd one iirc (the one before the recommended option)

[hoary knot]

Aren't I suppose to Axiom punch this?

[faint bobcat]

[crude marsh]

idk if it needs to be retuned with new version

[faint bobcat]

I need to modify their grass next

[fresh smelt]

well except that

[lethal dawn]

Ok will give it a try

[golden scaffold]

i'll try RE9 version now if this doesn't make an impactful change idk what will

[lethal dawn]

I swear I put a mod in that folder earlier tho

[true dagger]

its slowly approaching...

[snow quail]

Lurker here, just wanted to say this latest Reno by Forge combined with the light mod by Lazorr is excellent

Nights look great so far and everything else obviously as well. You guys have put an insane amount of work into this.

[pure sundial]

please do

[fresh smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/termina's-cage-gif-9575833142746881080

[viscid wedge]

don't forget Jon!

[lucid thorn]

Never forget jon

[snow quail]

Thanks Jon as well 🤝

[golden scaffold]

is this how RE9 camera mod is supposed to look like? idk if this works...

[dire pilot]

the mod doesn't change that you can change FOV with back/select/options

that's the furthest back camera

[lucid thorn]

I keep seeing this comparison and i think it proves the point it's trying to shit on. You don't have to touch those levers to move it

[golden scaffold]

you mean it doesn't change the distance?

i want camera to be closer

[lucid thorn]

Closer than default close?

[golden scaffold]

defaul is like extremely far

[lucid thorn]

You can zoom in

[lament nymph]

... so apparently kliff can't fly

only oongka can

[dire pilot]

just hit back/select until you get the distance you want

[golden scaffold]

really? how? (controller btw)

[dire pilot]

the back/select button - the one opposite of start

[lucid thorn]

I only know on the ps5 controller you can click the bar. Back select button makes sense

[pure sundial]

Is there any reason to actually play as Damiane or Oongka

[lucid thorn]

There's like 3 distances - far, close and first person. Just can't do combat in first person

[lucid thorn]

Damiane at least has her own quests. I assume oognka does too

[golden scaffold]

i had no clue. i really want the camera closer

[lucid thorn]

Hit the select button

[dire pilot]

this is what mine looks like with the RDR2 camera mod and 60 FOV

[crude marsh]

yeah I just changed a couple numbers and endured suffering (well and also published the original game unpacker so there is that), but all this work has been Jon Forge and ShortFuse

[golden scaffold]

is the XP shared? inventory seems to be..

[lucid thorn]

Inventory is, health stamina and spirit are. But skill points are individual

[golden scaffold]

ok i deleted the mod so i get a sense of vanilla again, and let me find that button to adjust distance

[lucid thorn]

If you use a skill point for kliff you don't automatically get one for damiane

Gotta split them up

[lament nymph]

no ...

[golden scaffold]

I just really like Damiene's kit a lot more than Kliffs that is, I would raelly prefer to main her instead

[lucid thorn]

They have their own quests!

[dire pilot]

Damiane has way more fun grappling

[lucid thorn]

Play as her for awhile and summon kliff like it's a party

[lament nymph]

yea and those don't count towards completion

then in some chapters they are outright unusable

actually most of them

[crude marsh]

lmk if there is any weather that needs changing cause I found out how to change all of that

[golden scaffold]

with and without camera mod 💀

something's not right here

[lament nymph]

damiene and oongka I have a feeling is added last minute cause they feel like they need morep layable characters

best way to use them is to summon them for fights

treat them as companions

[true dagger]

you are installing it with the .bat right

[golden scaffold]

yeah

omg i didn't know the share button was change camera 😂

30 something hours in

[dire pilot]

it's share on dualsense????

weird

[lucid thorn]

Clicking the top bar thing for camera is nice on ps5 controller

[dire pilot]

I'm an old man and I just say select for all these stupid button names they have now

[golden scaffold]

yeah like why would i ever press that button i forgot it exists

ok so this is the closest camera option unmodded, it's pretty much what i wanted. i wonder what does mod even change at this point. this is still vanilla looking right?

[plain fractal]

DLSS balanced can actually look good now with RCAS

[lethal dawn]

Wait I did install this mod I think

Actually I did the candle test one

[golden scaffold]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/162

finally

oh no it's quarantened by nexus

[lament nymph]

any good mods on nexus yet?

[true dagger]

i only use the CDCamera one

[subtle sinew]

if anyone is using a controller with hall effect sticks the steam anti-deadzone setting works great to remove the game's deadzone at 5500

[golden scaffold]

the new modern controller looks interesting

[paper heron]

yep that and font changer and glide stamina tweaker

[lament nymph]

any nude mod for kliff?

or oongka

[subtle sinew]

bro tryna unga bunga with oongka

[wise flax]

This isn't Game of Thrones sir

This is a family subreddit

By the way the new Alternative Auto Exposure looks so much better!

[paper heron]

im crashing on reshade load on startup with new version

[vivid iris]

If people could share screenshots of what their most deep fried scenes look like with the new auto exposure, that would be wonderful

[paper heron]

im trying to figure out why now

[vivid iris]

Me and forge are still at the starting town

[crude marsh]

ye, and I can change all of the weather now too

time to try and unfuck dusk and dawn perhaps

[wise flax]

So what settings do you recommend now that "recommended" turns a bunch of shit off?

[vivid iris]

Recommended still enables stuff

Defaults are just off on a lot of rendering features

[subtle sinew]

don't know if it's something I did but using the latest version I'm getting some weird occlusion

[wise flax]

It's just the reset buttons or w.e recommend having them off or something?

[strange crow]

just perfect night

[stray grove]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1?tab=description the parallax option from this mod make a huge difference for ground detail

[obsidian locust]

This is not normal DLSS behavior.
Shame it's not, since that's my biggest gripe with DLSS. Needs considerable blurring before the artifacts go away.

[vivid iris]

What settings are you using here?

[wise flax]

The recommended settings drastically improved night time imo. The previous versions Auto Exposure was way too dark, but this is gorgeous.

[true dagger]

if u turn reno off does it still do it?

[obsidian locust]

In a pinch if you don't have RenoDX to turn the game's sharpening off, using a DLSS level below DLAA would help.

Thank god.

[obsidian locust]

rofl, what?
The game has DualSense buttons out of the box.

[wise flax]

I haven't tested daytime or interiors with the new version yet, but this is exactly what I was asking for last night for night time.

[quaint cove]

Game looks blurry for me... with 0

RR on Balanced

[crude marsh]

that is what RCAS is for

in game sharpening filter is a pretty poor one

[vivid iris]

It’s probably broken in HDR honestly

They run it on the pq encoded color while in Sdr it’s on srgb encoded

[jagged charm]

turn off steam input, you don't need a mod (if you're playing with your controller wired at least)

[strange crow]

last build with LetThereBeMoreLight
Just perfect, thx for your work

[quaint cove]

I dont know what RCAS is... xD

How do I turn that on then?

[dire pilot]

that RCAS sharpening goes a long way to fixing the blurriness

[blazing ridge]

How can I tell if RenoDX is actually working? I'm running Special K along with ReShade and RenoDX as plugins...

[obsidian locust]

Move a slider? 😛

[crude marsh]

the slider in current reno

[obsidian locust]

Why are there no luminance sliders in that screenshot?

[crude marsh]

SDR perhaps

[golden scaffold]

only if you're wired

[blazing ridge]

When I do that, nothing happens lol

[vivid iris]

SDR mode

[warm magnet]

This new version is great!

[golden scaffold]

obviously i'm wireless so i need the mod

[obsidian locust]

Works wirelessly on Epic.
Valve breaks DirectInput support for DualSense and DualShock 4 controllers wirelessly.

[quaint cove]

Ahhh I'm blind. I could have sworn is wasn't there before pressing reset all.

[golden scaffold]

there's a hack with DS4W but that's too much lollygaggling

[obsidian locust]

It's such a big problem, I had to write this.
https://github.com/SpecialKO/ValvePlug
Before ditching the cesspool of a store altogether.

They break input device support system-wide for PlayStation controllers, making them less functional just by having the Steam client running 🙄

[flint moss]

Kliff looking cool, meanwhile mine looks like a jester

[warm magnet]

Those LODs look a lot better, how did you do that?

[subtle sinew]

It was special K acting weird
I was only using it for AF and negative bias

[golden scaffold]

true and it's quite inconsistent as well. sometimes i just have to get my backup xbox controller

lol the mod managers "splash screen sample mod" epik paintjob skillz

[viscid wedge]

these archery contests are driving me mad

[warm magnet]

Thought they nerfed them

[subtle sinew]

they're still kinda nuts

[warm magnet]

They were prefiring and locking on when I was doing it that was crazy but that was before the update

[pure sundial]

What's everyone got dark power set to?

[violet cobalt]

is there a modding solution to DLSS blur?

[viscid wedge]

I guess i'm that bad. controller its so easy to overshoot. mnk feels awful and half the time smashing left click to shoot nothing happens

[pure sundial]

45 looks pretty good for me

[dire pilot]

the rcas sharpening in reno helps a lot

[viscid wedge]

are you using RCAS in the latest RenoDX?

[violet cobalt]

I'll try that out

thanks people 🙂

[golden scaffold]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/171?tab=description

this is my favourite controller mod so far. it decouples jump from interact and doesn't seem to break anything combat related (your force push is on LB+Y now instead of R3 which sucked big balls anyway)

LS: One-click Sprint
B : tap B to step dodge, and hold B to roll
A: Jump / Glide
X: Interact
RS: Target Lock-on
D-Pad Down: Crouch / Slide
LB + Y: Skill Force Palm (劲法)

[pure sundial]

TIL Kliff has a helmet when he flies

[dire pilot]

rcas even did what I thought was impossible - making smoke actually look like smoke

[crude marsh]

I tried it on mouse and had so much fucking mouse acceleration I couldn't handle it

[stray grove]

@warm magnet no hud fix from nexus but its not perfect it give me some artifact line going through screen in some place

[warm magnet]

The shadow and his copy.

this looks good

maybe

[viscid wedge]

yeah, i can't believe i'm getting my ass kicked by a robot.

[swift geyser]

hello im new here sorry for asking but where can i get the mod fix for hdr? i heard its here but im too dumb to find it

[warm magnet]

check pins

[warm magnet]

get the hdr mod and the lighting fix

[upbeat magnet]

Did the new lettherebelight update change anything or was it just a reupload from yesterday? Missed the back and forth on it before it was posted.

[wise flax]

I have to say the story in chapter 1 was so ridiculously bad I was tempted to drop the game. I'm not saying the story is good further into the game, but it's definitely not as bad as chapter 1.

[crude marsh]

the lantern

[swift geyser]

place both in bin right?

[upbeat magnet]

Oh the overexposure on the lantern when you point with it?

[crude marsh]

yeah

[golden scaffold]

::

It's very easy to use and configure. just another add-on menu

[upbeat magnet]

You’re the fuckin goat dude

Hell yeah

[crude marsh]

no, the light mod specifies the folder and to back it up

[swift geyser]

aight thank you guys

[violet cobalt]

this one?

[viscid wedge]

nope, its built into Reno now.

[subtle sinew]

my settings for anyone that was asking yesterday

[violet cobalt]

tf

mine doesn't have that

[viscid wedge]

this is easy?? lol

[crude marsh]

do you play with sunglasses on

[viscid wedge]

must be an outdated version of Reno? sorry outside my wheelhouse

[lament nymph]

looks gud to me

[crude marsh]

god damn those daytimes are bright

[subtle sinew]

wym lol

[violet cobalt]

yeah man thanks I'll look around

[low crane]

Indoor looks good. Outdoor is a nuclear event

[pure sundial]

I just got flashbanged

[subtle sinew]

lmao maybe it's just my monitor

[naive terrace]

Hey Guys is DLSS 4.0 still better than 4.5?

[subtle sinew]

I don't get any clipping in the daytime

[naive terrace]

4.5 had some bugs

[warm magnet]

Relaxing

[subtle sinew]

here's a raw .jxr of the daytime

[pure sundial]

if you are using ray reconstruction it will be dlss 4 even if you have 4.5 selected jjust fyi

[paper heron]

im still crashing with thenew reno addon, anybody else crashing or figuring out why?

[viscid wedge]

lmao

[naive terrace]

ahh that's right

[warm magnet]

Thats still really bright

[pure sundial]

yeah its just as bright from that image you just sent

[viscid wedge]

I literally cannot view that. its clipped to hell

[naive terrace]

forgot about RR overwriting with its one upscaling

[pure sundial]

What is your peak brightness @subtle sinew

[subtle sinew]

same screenshot exposed to my phone camera

[pure sundial]

oh

2200?

[subtle sinew]

my monitor does 2200 nits

[viscid wedge]

game brightness 500 hahaha

[pure sundial]

lmao

[crude marsh]

something is wrong with your monitor

[subtle sinew]

yes it's too dark without it lol

[crude marsh]

2.0 exposure and 500 brightness

[subtle sinew]

I like me a bright game

[crude marsh]

that is legitimately nuclear bright

[viscid wedge]

something ain't right in the pipeline there lol

[low crane]

I wish there was a way to get this kind of brightness at night/indoors, but still have the daytime brightness intact.

[crude marsh]

your average luminance is 320

on one of the daytime ones

[wise flax]

Speed running burn in

[fresh field]

so its safe to assume if i use renos AE then i should use the candle/fire fix that lazorr posted

[subtle sinew]

it's a mini led

[fresh field]

to help with interiors

[pure sundial]

yez

[restive roost]

has to be a miniled

[wise flax]

Just a dumb joke

[golden scaffold]

bro i'm here with same display and running 150 game brightness 😭

[upbeat magnet]

5k nits on AVP and my game brightness is excruciating at even half that. That’s wild. Only got dark screenshot last night unfortunately.

[viscid wedge]

@obsidian locust thanks again for the tips on SKIV earlier today. Only thing I wish there was, and maybe there is and i'm dumb, but a way to clear the current image without closing and reopening (since i'm trying to emulate snipping tool with keeping it running all the time)

[golden scaffold]

i will never understand the 500 folks

[crude marsh]

that is like 8x higher than one of my screenshots average luminance lol

[upbeat magnet]

Christ

[crude marsh]

what the fuck

[smoky fog]

does RenoDX do anything about the night sky being too bright? I'm guessing that's not possible...

[jade flame]

Looking good

[faint bobcat]

Alternative auto exposure makes nights dark

[wise flax]

Sometimes QDOLED with 1000 nits peak which rarely comes close on more than a tiny part of the screen is way too bright for me. I can't imagine staring at a monitor much brighter.

[smoky fog]

sorry, new guy. I don't know what that is

[maiden mortar]

Is improved RT a no go?

[subtle sinew]

I'm on an Odyssey Ark it's rated for 1000 nits but I pushed it to 2200+ in the service menu

[stray grove]

light up my whole room

[upbeat magnet]

This chat lmfao

[low crane]

Iss it possible to make nights and indoors brighter but keep the current brightness for daytime?

[pure sundial]

It's a setting in the new reno update

[true dagger]

in the settings, there is something like if you press Esc, it doesn’t quit the program fully but keeps it in the background, i use that myself

[crude marsh]

for now

[warm magnet]

Damn the nights with this are so dark

[faint bobcat]

Inside of renoDX menu, at the very top if you switch from simple to advanced

There will be a setting titled

Alternative Auto Exposure

[ruby tusk]

holy shit can yall put spoiler warning on tthese, im getting flashbanged left n right in this discord

[wise flax]

@crude marsh For now? Are you working on something similar to U+ for this game?

[crude marsh]

I am progressing on modifying the weather

[viscid wedge]

Odyssey Arc ain't that bright lmao

[upbeat magnet]

Whole discord out here looking like lobsters

[ruby tusk]

some of yall monitors are fucked

[low crane]

https://klipy.com/gifs/birdman-ready-1

[subtle sinew]

It is with the service menu tweak

[smoky fog]

thank you!

[pure sundial]

bro it's the same guy's screenshots hahaha

[subtle sinew]

I have a colorimeter that does 2000 nits and it read up to 2500

It also clips at 2200

[warm magnet]

I can't SEE

[ruby tusk]

you right you right

[exotic bridge]

Hi, do I need to activate RR or is it better to leave it off?

[pure sundial]

It's better to have it on

[crude marsh]

RR if you want some RTGI and reasonable interiors

[stray grove]

@warm magnet skills issue 😎 😅

[warm magnet]

I'm using YOUR settings how can you see like this

[pure sundial]

By using the lantern

[viscid wedge]

hold up this archery wins 3x in a row is a main story quest? welp, i'm screwed

[subtle sinew]

Just auto expose your eyes harder 😂

[warm magnet]

You can just leave

[wise flax]

@warm magnet Is RR on? I cranked the Dark Power setting up at the darkest point of night time so I could see a bit better.

[pure sundial]

It used to be so much worse before the patch bro you got this

[obsidian locust]

Clear in what way?

[warm magnet]

yeah I have RR on

[ruby tusk]

[pure sundial]

@viscid wedge if you get the slow down time skill for the bow that helps a lot btw

[wise flax]

Try cranking that dark power setting to max

[warm magnet]

okay

[cloud plover]

I just cranked mouse acceleration to 100 and treated it like an FPS game

[lament nymph]

I think I'm almost done with pailune

[viscid wedge]

close the currently open image, so when I bring it to the foreground it doesn't always have open the last image

[lament nymph]

thanks god

[viscid wedge]

oh damn, i do have a spare point, hopefully it only needs 1

[warm magnet]

Its just as dark

[lyric acorn]

is there any option to make auto exposure brighter ? i play with hdr

[pure sundial]

Yeah I think it is just 1

[viscid wedge]

strats, i'll give it a shot

[dense raft]

not sure if I see any diff between dark power 75 and 100 but still use 100 and exposure 1.15 👌 looks now better in the dark. Thank you 🙏

Not sure why that matters, but you can go back to the normal state by pressing Ctrl+W.

[fresh field]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-5413974953753901704

[wise flax]

Maybe another setting? Or some type of monitor setting differences idk.

[stray grove]

@warm magnet use that lantern ahah

[fallen knoll]

why are the light sources still dark for me?

[obsidian locust]

You can also snip from existing screenshots, if you hold Ctrl+click and move the mouse.

[wise flax]

If you can't get auto exposure to work the game still looks great with it disabled. It's just daytime 24 hrs a day.

[warm magnet]

okay yeah thats better

[viscid wedge]

ahh, this is it. I've got one of that guys blown out screenshots in it and it was killing me lol

[upbeat magnet]

Where are these variables?

[crude marsh]

cause they have like 40 light sources and we need to hand tuned all of them

[fallen knoll]

oh make sense

[crude marsh]

candles are not fire

most everything outside is though

[warm magnet]

why did reno dx nuke my reshade shaders 😂

[wise flax]

I had that happen in Nioh 3. I didn't really bother looking into what caused it though...

[subtle sinew]

my highlights aren't blown out I swear 😭

[viscid wedge]

welp, i couldn't find it. I spent it on the main marksmanship skill thinking that was it since no other archery skills mentioned slowing down time for bows

[crude marsh]

your monitor is compensating with something

[crude marsh]

cause otherwise your eyes would be dead

[stray grove]

@warm magnet you said you deleted all your shader

[lament nymph]

are any of you actually playing or ... u guys just tweaking graphics all day

[fresh field]

bro got built in UV Goggles

[viscid wedge]

we don't wanna finish the game in a week!

[fresh field]

dont ask this question

[obsidian locust]

You seem to have added a quote or backtick to the end of the path

[subtle sinew]

not completely blown out at least 😭

[naive jackal]

Just trying that latest build with the exposure and moon fixes, and the brighter lights files, holy shit what an improvement over the vanilla game

[true dagger]

not much to tweak tbh i just use reno and lights fix and play the game when i have free time, i’m only on the end of chapter 3

[warm magnet]

No I didn't I installed the reshade preset that had selected its own shaders

[ruby tusk]

your retinas are crispy my friend

[warm magnet]

Peak

[subtle sinew]

I'm sure it can't do the full brightness at full screen and it doing some sort of abl

[lucid thorn]

Guys I suck at duo

[upbeat magnet]

R u cheating

[lucid thorn]

No I just suck

[upbeat magnet]

Cheat more

[fresh field]

its one of the worst mini games in a game period. Almost as bad as gwint

[naive jackal]

Duo made me terminal

[lucid thorn]

How

[warm magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-eyes-burn-cannot-unsee-burned-in-my-memory-gif-4950537

[upbeat magnet]

Not with the learned skill in game because the mini game is ass😂

[fresh field]

this game needs more triple triad

and less of whatever duo is

[fallen knoll]

OH IM DUMB there is a new build today

[fresh field]

bring back dice game from KCD2

[lucid thorn]

I'm just trying to get some money haha

[fresh field]

one of the best mini games

[lucid thorn]

Bring back dice from witcher 1

[fallen knoll]

everyone is cheating in duo

[lucid thorn]

I am convinced

[crude marsh]

hopefully tomorrow I can figure out a way to fix dusk and dawn

[fallen knoll]

if you see them grab the sticks on the side, they are cheating

you can accuse them then

normally the sticks are grabbed from above

[upbeat magnet]

Is the interact reticle considered a light source?

[lucid thorn]

I thought it was only when the screen slowed down

[fallen knoll]

nah that was when kliff was learning it at first

[lucid thorn]

Ooooh

[naive jackal]

Are there horse racing mini games at any point? WOuld be hilarious with how levelling the horse lets it drift corners like a car 🤣

[lucid thorn]

Oops

[wise flax]

Having your pet pick up loot is such a nice qol feature

[fallen knoll]

you make so much money in Duo its insane

just accusing people

[lucid thorn]

That's what I'm trying to do haha

[naive jackal]

@wise flax Immersive auto loot

[final imp]

I am still trying to figure out brightness setting. win hdr app has me clipping at 1060 on step 2 and 3, even tried running with cyberpunk in the background, Monitors unboxed says 10% apl50 is 465 and 10% apl18 is 525. I dunno if im trolling but I think in win hdr app step 1 is 0 step 2 is 500 and step 3 is 300? and in game is use 500 for peak brightness and default game? running eotf boost peak 1300 MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36

[fresh field]

dog should bury it instead so you lose it, realism

USE FOR SHOVEL

[wise flax]

My dog came home with an ipod one time so it's very immersive for me.

[subtle sinew]

that day he became your dawg

[fallen knoll]

flashback to old BDO days when pets were P2W

[naive jackal]

Depends on the dog, Husky would just ignore all the loot and give you side eye when you complained

[fresh field]

https://tenor.com/view/da-dawg-gif-24297965

[pure sundial]

That’s weird I remember seeing it somewhere, never used it myself though

[wise flax]

Haha when my dog was a pup I let her run around the neighborhood with the other dogs. I had to stop doing that when she came home with that ipod. I never found out whos it was either.

[naive jackal]

If only the dog would auto kill the small critters then auto loot the small bones i need for refining rings, etc

[wise flax]

@naive jackal I also wish I could slaughter animals when I grab them. Why can I pick them up if my only option is to put them back down.

[warm scroll]

I'm a bit confused... is it recommended to install the **LetThereBeMoreLight **mod?

[thin forge]

watchlist

[naive jackal]

If you're using the exposure fix in the latest version

[wise flax]

What you don't like slaughtering small animals?

[pure sundial]

You can pick them up and take em to your ranch

[wise flax]

Ah I don't have a ranch so that makes more sense

[warm scroll]

I downloaded the latest RENODX file. where is the exposure fix file?

[naive jackal]

built in

[crude marsh]

there you go

[lucid thorn]

I've finally won 3 games of duo in a row

[warm scroll]

gotcha. ty

[subtle sinew]

yall can't bully me anymore I dropped game brightness to 400

[fresh field]

watch me

https://tenor.com/view/nelson-simpsons-martin-the-simpsons-beating-gif-23208666

[pure sundial]

doesn't that look way better?

[hazy geode]

It's okay if you changed it back to 500 after the screenshot 😁

[jade flame]

Brother is simulating actual daylight via their monitor.

[crude marsh]

maybe press reset on your monitor and start over idk

[subtle sinew]

it really doesn't look that much different

[pure sundial]

Plants could photosynthesize in front of that monitor

[fresh field]

his eyes already fried. he cant tell

[subtle sinew]

how else is the solar remote gonna charge man 😭

[crude marsh]

I mean his monitor is clearly doing some tonemapping itself or correction

[jade flame]

Free energy XP

[fresh field]

this mans calculator just stays on cause of the light coming from the monitor

[plain fractal]

Oh my god, you can actually open the dams and get the water wheel to spin + the whole mechanism is animated as well

[crude marsh]

cause if it was displayed with the true values then yeah

[warm scroll]

sorry for being dense, but can you tell if I'm using the custom autoexposure?

[fresh field]

alternate autoexposure is set to on

[wise flax]

It seems like it takes a sec for reno settings to kick in when you teleport and you get a flashbang as everything starts loading in.

[fresh field]

i havent seen/noticed this

[subtle sinew]

it's hard to say but this monitor does do heavy processing to stop blooming
I'll have to hook it into my s95f at some point

[wise flax]

It started with today's update for me.

[pure sundial]

@subtle sinew Which monitor are you using?

[daring orbit]

Omg why cant people just turn this setting on or off

[subtle sinew]

odyssey ark but with service menu tweaks to do 2200 nits +

[pure sundial]

ahh

I have a G8 I was looking into getting a service menu remote

[ruby tusk]

its okay, we all have our dense moments , myself included

[daring orbit]

Seems like just going on and on and on about auto exposure

[subtle sinew]

I'm not sure if it's the same thing since this is closer to a QN90A I think

I imagine the service menu on the monitors are different

[pure sundial]

Possibly I'm not too sure

I have a G85SD got it on a really good sale, it's got the samsung smart tv features which I don't use, was looking into a service remote to disable these stupid pop ups that you can't turn off

[warm scroll]

gotcha. ty

[subtle sinew]

if it uses tizen os it might be the same yeah

[pure sundial]

Yeah it is Tizen

[visual silo]

Hi I am completely new to oleds, hdr and such, wanted to ask does this mod completely overwrite the in game hdr settings, as in I dont have to do anything in that menu?

[upbeat magnet]

Set to default and don’t touch anything in game besides ui brightness

As far as hdr settings

[fresh field]

just turn on HDR in game and reno will do the work

[visual silo]

Ah ok so I reset the stuff I messed with to default?

[vivid iris]

With psychov, peak is controlled in the renodx menu and in-game exposure should be kept default

[fresh field]

probably advisable

[warm scroll]

yes

[vivid iris]

You can set peak in-game to whatever you want, vanilla will still use that

[eager epoch]

On a 1500nits monitor had to do

Shadows: 75
Contrast: 45
Game brightness: 300
Game menu HDR Exposure: 37

To have a balance between day and dark indoors, default 50 contrast results in loss of information, cant see s*** indoors and at really dark scenes. My goal is basically 0 loss of info, any suggestions are welcome.

[warm magnet]

Before and after

[visual silo]

I also have a 1500 nit one

[low crane]

Just wait for lazzors fix

[subtle sinew]

google maps looking ass lods

[viscid wedge]

PG27AQWP-W? what happens when you set Peak Brightness to 800? The 10% value tested by RTINGS.

[eager epoch]

Donno why in screenshot looks bit more yellowish than it is but Im open for suggestion, I find it unacceptable to not see at dark what was intended by the studio to be seen

[warm magnet]

The Shadow.

🔥

[eager epoch]

Yes exactly that monitor

[violet cobalt]

I installed renoDX with the Commander tool, and it seems to be updated just fine. but I can't find RCAS. is there anything that I should install separately or an add-on that I should enable for that to appear?

[viscid wedge]

because it installed an old version of RenoDX

[viscid wedge]

you want the version in the pinned post. #1469072401450012774 message

[eager epoch]

I beed to test it

[viscid wedge]

that monitors HDR values

[worldly vapor]

should we even go beyond the windows hdr tool?

[subtle sinew]

plus ultra?

[eager epoch]

Ill try, for a long while I’ve waited for their review of that monitor

Tnx

[violet cobalt]

oh, thanks :))

[viscid wedge]

yeah rtings launched the review on March 17th, but of course its behind a paywall now

[warm magnet]

Yeah wow this looks great

[eager epoch]

Its an amazing mon all around

[vivid iris]

I haven’t pushed the code there yet, I will tonight

[visual silo]

Holy does this look good when I updated the most recent file and reset in game stuff to default

[plain fractal]

Dumb question: why does RR make the game look more blurry compared to RR off at the same DLSS quality level?

[eager epoch]

Ok so tested it and image becomes bit darker

[subtle sinew]

RR is doing more in the background and enabling a higher lighting setting than max so it's doing a lot more denoising work
Also you can't use dlss 4.5 with RR which looks sharper

[eager epoch]

Just need to figure out what type of contrast is best to adjust the adaptive one or the normal one

I lean towards the normal one

[upbeat magnet]

You can adjust both. As I understand it static contrast is just the difference between brightest white and darkest black. Adaptive contrast is contrast adjusted on the fly, so it will be harder to measure with a relatively static image.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

[eager epoch]

Tnx noted

[visual silo]

RR uses its own model to upscale, it bypasses dlss basically

They havent updated RR yet

[lament nymph]

this dude just called my mother a strumpet, I'm gonna end his entire bloodline

[subtle sinew]

yeah they really gotta get on that

[visual silo]

Yep Id rather have that than the 6x mfg thing

[eager epoch]

When I play adaptive contrast and slide it all the way to the left it results in grey tone, while the normal one seem to effect darker areas

[subtle sinew]

what's that? you want dlss 5 real time slopify?

[rose jewel]

autoexp off \ on, this is the addon of yesterday i will try the new pinned one. hopefully the darker areas gets a lil brighter.

the moon is cool AF 👀

[warm magnet]

RR makes this game look 10x better + Reno DX + PBR fix

[subtle sinew]

PBR fix? 🤔

[naive terrace]

ye what is that

[subtle sinew]

Oh I'm stupid my brain went to physically based rendering

[warm magnet]

Its an effect in the no hud and effects mod that reduce the parallax occlusion it makes it look a lot better

[eager epoch]

Yes there is clear loss of information on the trees on the left

[visual silo]

yeah it looks insanely good with RR and renodx but im having issues with nights not being dark enough still

[warm magnet]

Before and after on it

[naive terrace]

ahh

[warm magnet]

looks a lot better

[naive terrace]

I hope devs fix this

[subtle sinew]

yeah giving it a shot soon I just wish the ground stayed the same it doesn't look as bad

[warm magnet]

I guess I should say parallax fix instead of PBR fix

[hollow kiln]

Thank you

[upbeat magnet]

What is this from? You’re the second person to mention it.

[warm magnet]

its in the renodx advanced settings

[upbeat magnet]

Oh there’s a new version?

Shit I didn’t even see

Ty

[faint bobcat]

Any more dark areas comparisons with new alt auto exposure?

that popodori village

with green lights

[warm magnet]

The day time/ Early morning looks good 🤤

I wish I knew about RenoDX earlier

[visual silo]

I learned about it just recently when I got an oled, was blown away in cp2077

figured out the nights holyyyy

[rose jewel]

will check the new addon might be fixed

[tall delta]

Auto exposure fix is making my day look like this if I look up to the sky, what can I adjust?

It's also very distracting when I move my camera around cause the exposure adjusting rapidly, it's almost like flashing

[warm magnet]

Damn I didn't even realize cloth realistically gets wet

[crude marsh]

regarding variability of exposure across weather conditions

I am gonna clamp all the weathers to similar values, or try

[crude marsh]

starting tomorrow

and also try to fix the horrendous dusk/dawn

[stray grove]

@crude marsh any progress with a potential lod fix ? If doable ofc

[crude marsh]

no

[velvet cliff]

this game really has some super cool outfits thanks to its mmo studio nature

[warm magnet]

🔥

[velvet cliff]

in a ubisoft game this is probably gonna cost you 12.99$ or something and looks much worse

[crude marsh]

rn i am switching to things I know are tangible

[lethal dawn]

Need to know where you got the gear

[stray grove]

@crude marsh ya make sense you guys killing it

[warm magnet]

Its the armor set of the shadows with the dark marksman cloak and the odecks protector boots

[stray grove]

got that flashbang sky

[warm magnet]

its early morning with no clouds yet

It looks better during the actual day

[stray grove]

yea i feel like sometime i gotta adjust the color grading depending of weather

[warm magnet]

We pulling up with the FITS 💯

[pure sundial]

You want a comparison with exposure fix on/off?

[faint bobcat]

yes

[pure sundial]

ok

[warm magnet]

I just didn't capture the cloudy parts was all

[pure sundial]

If those lod's were better, particularly the ruins in the background, that screenshot would look even better

[naive terrace]

ye

[fallen knoll]

its not even using half of my vram

[fallen knoll]

BDO had it even worse, I was expecting this game would have better lod ngl

[viscid wedge]

some rain

[jolly isle]

why dont I see the extra settings?

[fallen knoll]

what pbr fix

[viscid wedge]

old version of RenoDX

[warm magnet]

This some assassins creed shit

[viscid wedge]

check the pins

[jolly isle]

is there a newer one

[jolly isle]

oh ok thanks

[warm magnet]

its the parallax fix from the no hud and effects mod

[faint bobcat]

so it did work

[fallen knoll]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1?tab=files?

this one?

[daring orbit]

Thats a good mod

[warm magnet]

yeah

[pure sundial]

yez

[warm magnet]

and then theres the parallax occlusion reducer toggle in there it makes it the textures look a lot better

[pure sundial]

pretty insane difference

[fallen knoll]

do you have to do it everytime you boot up the game?

[stray grove]

@fallen knoll its 1 button press

to toggle on\off

that's it

it does introduce some screen artifact in some area though but only had it once so far

[warm magnet]

Slice and dice.

[stray grove]

playing without renodx just unthinkable now ahah look like shit on vanilla

[fallen knoll]

those texures look crispy

[pure sundial]

Yo vanilla looked pretty bad already but after using reno it looks so much worse

[stray grove]

@pure sundial i read that wrong at first 😅 but ya using reno made vanilla even worse

wtf was even that moon ahah

[warm magnet]

Baby moon 🥹

[eager epoch]

Wonder how to fix the bug that comes with the parallax fix

[neat willow]

New to RenoDX and specifically reshade. Since reshade is injected to specific games .exe. If I decide to add renoDX to CD.... I won't get banned from any of my competitive FPS games (if their anti-cheat even checks) would I?

[fallen knoll]

its not recommended to use reshade addon with online games

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/trick-moon-moon-trick-coin-flip-gif-15663607

[neat willow]

not adding it to any online games, just CD. Just don't want to add it and then all of a sudden get banned from any of my online games.

[novel jay]

you'll be fine. Only matters if you're installing it on your online games

[stray grove]

@eager epoch the weird line artifact bug?

[jolly isle]

hmmm I wonder if my settings are messed up. I tried using recommending + the light fix, but RenoDX seems much brighter than Vanilla HDR

Native HDR

[pure sundial]

If you're installing it for Crimson Desert it won't affect any of your other games

[eager epoch]

Multiple bright lines yes

[jovial compass]

does this fix overblurriness on fsr

[jolly isle]

RenoDX with recommended settings + light fix

[stray grove]

@eager epoch yes i get those too but not everywhere so i just toggle parallax fix off when i get it

@jolly isle tweak the color grading slider

[visual silo]

is light fix a separate mod?

[stray grove]

@visual silo check pinned

[pure sundial]

yea in pinned messages

[jolly isle]

yeah see the pinned messages

its really great at night

[lucid thorn]

I beat the reed man

[jolly isle]

thanks

[visual silo]

ah i see ty

[visual silo]

Im at him rn xD

[viscid wedge]

ahh the moon is so pretty

[lucid thorn]

Good luck! I think they made him easier

[stray grove]

@jolly isle also they added RCAS sharpening with new reno dx thats all i adjusted in bottom section then you tweak color grading to your liking\screen

[jolly isle]

I had to put exposure down to 0.40 to match Vanilla HDR clarity and color (no grey/overblown)

seems like something is wrong

[stray grove]

@ruby tusk we got all the fixess now 😎

that mipbias fix clutch too

[vivid iris]

Generally it’s less bright, what are your ingame sliders set to?

[warm magnet]

So you only use renoDX and the parallax fixer? nothing else? it looks great thanks for the stuff

[stray grove]

@warm magnet yea only renoDx the parallax fix and optiscaller set Aniso filtering to 16X and mipbias to -15

[warm magnet]

okay

[jolly isle]

for HDR?

450 NIT (Trueblack400) and 75 exposure with 50 UI brightness

QDOLED panel

[warm magnet]

whats optiscaler never used it before

[vivid iris]

Set exposure to 50

[jolly isle]

shouldnt in-game HDR be disabled with RenoDX enabled?

[vivid iris]

No

[jolly isle]

I see whoops.

thats the issue.

[pure sundial]

Hahahah

[jolly isle]

probably thinking of AutoHDR/RTXHDR

[vivid iris]

Some renodx mods work that way, not this one though

[mossy gust]

I like some lens flares but this game doesn't have the best, glad i can turn it off

[jolly isle]

That fixed it, thanks!

[pure sundial]

whoops forgot to hide the hud in the first one

quite literally a day and night difference im not sure why they intended for night to be so bright

[viscid wedge]

if normie gamers had to deal with darkness like that, thats all everyone would be complaining about

[pure sundial]

Yea I suppose that's true

Although I never heard of anyone complaining about the nights in DD2

[visual silo]

Just beat the reed devil and tried the light mod... holy... Im glad im on pc xD

[lament nymph]

going to bed ... hopefully tmr I finish the game

[halcyon drum]

I tried searching but couldnt find anything relevent. when i use the sun improvement toggle the mountains in the distance do this. Is there something i can do about that, or do i just ignore it?

[fallen knoll]

the issue rn is the enemies see you clearly in the dark

my headcanon at this point is that greymanes see better in the dark than normal humans lol

[lament nymph]

greymanes aren't werewolves

[fallen knoll]

they arent but considering where they live its always dark

[covert ruin]

how have you almost finished already

[lament nymph]

80 hrs

I think I'm about half the map

[fallen knoll]

similarly to badjaos irl where their spleen is larger than normal humans and last longer underwater

[covert ruin]

i got 70 still in first zone 😂

[low crane]

Where the hell you find cool gear like this?

[lament nymph]

the npcs in this game is racist, they call greymane by their tribe's name

[visual silo]

im like 40h just beat the reed devil..

[lament nymph]

never their names

[visual silo]

Got a bunch of those artifacts but put most of them into health xD

[jolly isle]

anyway to fix this?

or is it engine/TAA wonkiness

[lament nymph]

health is good, by endgame ur just spamming food button while spamming the attack button

because the bosses don't stop

[covert ruin]

have u done much side content?

[visual silo]

i have

and nice, i also want stamina so i can fly more

[lament nymph]

I have been doing fetch quest for the entirety of today minus 2 hrs

hernand actually have more variety of good quests and fetch quests

... x.x the 2nd country is suffering

[visual silo]

oh yeah ive been doing a bunch of hernand quests

had fun, got lots of artifacts

[lament nymph]

the reason why this game has so many graphics artifacts is because of creator intent, kliff is living a simulation therefore can't have perfect graphics

that's why we upgrade using artifacts

I get it nao

[pure sundial]

That's just the game being silly I don't think you can fix that

[lament nymph]

most of the lighting indoor is broken

[visual silo]

hahaha I wonder if someone or pear abyss themselves are gonna fix the pop in only that and its perfect

[visual silo]

thought it was still loading

[steel wolf]

Does SDR work for the mod or not? Was testing out for a friend and the image looks like this:

[lucid thorn]

im like consistently blown away with how this game can look

[visual silo]

yep with only 8gb of ram out of 16 for me

[eager epoch]

Is there a proper uncompromising close range pop-in mod / method?

[fallen knoll]

nah pretty sure thats an engine issue

[round kettle]

What I really wanna know, is there a way to make the raytracing/denoiser.. idk... stronger? Even at max it looks kinda blobby sometimes

[visual silo]

Its just the rr limitation, they didnt update it to the new transformer models

[round kettle]

damn

[visual silo]

it overrides dlss basically/has its own upscaling model

[viscid wedge]

that was weird. I happened to notice all the smoke was purple. The only thing in Reno I would have touched was the flame hue settings. I reset them both and we're back to normal but sliding them back to where they were, I can't get them to go purple again. spooky

[round kettle]

OG PurpleSmoke

[visual silo]

btw are you guys using RR preset D or E?

[eager epoch]

Only D

[viscid wedge]

D

[visual silo]

kk me too

[viscid wedge]

(can't be bothered to change it)

[visual silo]

D should be the same upscaling as dlss preset K but idk rly

[daring orbit]

sure doesnt seem like it

[visual silo]

yeah I wish they update rr asap, much better time investment that the 6x dynamic mfg thing

[naive oar]

Where can I find the RenoDX HDR mod? I don't see it anywhere?

[visual silo]

pinned

[daring orbit]

how wow an update

how exciting

[lament nymph]

I kind of want a new pet, my default dog is too uglo

[daring orbit]

i dont think you should get a dog on a whim

[lament nymph]

goat then, if I don't want to keep him anymore than I can butcher him

[daring orbit]

get an iguana or something

[lament nymph]

iguana is delicious

they roam the neighborhood around here, I kidnap one once in a while

[daring orbit]

maybe they can introduce harpy eagles

that should take care of it

[viscid wedge]

speaking of I did see a bald eagle

[daring orbit]

nice

there are a shit ton of bald eagles here

[wise flax]

With RR rain still looks nothing like what it did in the trailers and previews I saw.

[lament nymph]

they lied to you

[wise flax]

I wonder if it's setting related

[lucid thorn]

Itbworks fine without RR

[lament nymph]

their optimizations are last minute quality lowering cause it s crap

[lucid thorn]

I think the consensus is that the denoiser is denoising rain

[pure sundial]

yeah for me it looks like a blurry mess

[woven ore]

its not too dark anymore

[lucid thorn]

But it looks fine without RR

[naive oar]

Trying to install Reshade, but I already have an dxgi.dll file from optiscaler. Should I rename it?

[lament nymph]

how many of u have a 5090?

[upbeat magnet]

4090 poor here

[daring orbit]

yeah you have to

[lucid thorn]

Check out optiscalers ini and look for reshade

[viscid wedge]

try to remove as much as you manually did then simply use the installer

[viscid wedge]

same, we're poors

[lament nymph]

@upbeat magnet 4090 is anything but poor, it s because nobody was willing to let their 4090 go for decent price is why I got a 5090 on launch day

out of spite

[upbeat magnet]

Trust me I’ve considered upgrading but I do not want to go through the retubing process and custom block

[upbeat magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/money-crying-woody-harrelson-wiping-tears-with-money-gif-6945518

[viscid wedge]

TBH I screwed up not selling this and only paying a relatively small difference for 5090 when it was at its low. That $1999 TUF deal haunts me.

[lament nymph]

soft tube makes everything easy

[upbeat magnet]

Hard tube here

[lament nymph]

like I was going around asking to buy used 4090 for 1400

and ppl said no

[upbeat magnet]

Custom blocks, distro, etc.

[lament nymph]

so I went and get a 5090 instead

[wise flax]

Also thank you to the person who mentioned cranking mouse/controller acceleration to 100. It made it feel way less floaty. Now turning Kliff is like turning a hummer instead of a boat.

[final imp]

i sold mine to a guy on discord for 1400

[upbeat magnet]

I regret not getting one tbh

[lament nymph]

[upbeat magnet]

I’m now in a position where I want to get a 5090 because transcoding while playing chokes the 4090

[lament nymph]

I wish twitch gets av1 and multi encoder support

[upbeat magnet]

I do local streaming and just over TS6

Rather than twitch

But agreed, shit no AV1

[visual silo]

Hahah I wanted a 4090, couldnt find one new, 5090 wasnt in stock and I just got a 5080, gonna last me till 6000 series...

[upbeat magnet]

Kinda insane in 2026

[lament nymph]

twitch is slow

meanwhile youtube get unlimited bandwidth and hdr stream

[upbeat magnet]

Multi-faceted burn lol

[wise flax]

Man it really is crazy how much less shimmering there is now with the Reno/mod updates.

[viscid wedge]

I record locally to AV1 in 4K with these settings. 4090 barely flinches.

[upbeat magnet]

I’m streaming native 4k AV1, 10-bit, P5, 1G bit to AVP.

[viscid wedge]

1G and AVP is referring to what?

[upbeat magnet]

About a 20% increase in performance loss.

1G bitrate to Apple Vision Pro

[viscid wedge]

lmao, probably your problem. AV1 at CBR 1000Mb/s in insanity, completely unnecessary

[cold tree]

same!

[lament nymph]

I was just shitposting in my discord on the day 5090 releases, shitting on the microcenter liners

[upbeat magnet]

Network latency would be the problem but I have 10G local backhaul on my home net.

[lament nymph]

then I got one on launch online

wasn't even trying

same to the nintendo switch 2, I didn't even try

[upbeat magnet]

It’s mostly encode latency which is why I can’t go higher to P7 to remove artifacting, and im offsetting as much as I can with net but to a limit

[lament nymph]

tho 1gb/s is insanity

[viscid wedge]

AV1 simply doesn't need anything like that for a 4K stream, thats kinda the whole point of it

[upbeat magnet]

Tbh the visually discernible difference from like 300+ is so minimal, I’m just trying to squeeze as much as I can out of my network. Biggest issue is encoding/decoding artifacts

[steel wolf]

Why P5? I thought P1 was supposed to be better/equivelant once you start pushing high bitrates

[jolly isle]

[upbeat magnet]

P1 has the least latency for encoding, but it introduces a ton of artifacts

P5 retains higher detail at higher latency

[steel wolf]

I could never tell a differnece, but I'm also doing like 500mbps

[viscid wedge]

are you recording or streaming?

[steel wolf]

Moonlight streaming

[upbeat magnet]

Roughly 2-3ms at P1, quite noticeable artifacting, P5 rises to ~8ms but much less artifacting and compression

[lament nymph]

I couldn't handle streaming and encoding artifacts no matter how high bitrate is

[steel wolf]

I do notice the grass being slightly compressed looking maybe I'll try P5

[lament nymph]

so I get a fiber optic 20m hdmi 2.1 cable to my tv

[upbeat magnet]

Try P5.

[lament nymph]

[steel wolf]

Does it hit fps or just latency?

[upbeat magnet]

Are you using Apollo?

Ok yeah CBR for that. And yeah even 500Mb/s CBR is more than enough with AV1. P1 is what'll make things look bad, if anything

[steel wolf]

Moonlight

[upbeat magnet]

I mean on the host

Sunshine or Apollo fork?

[steel wolf]

Vibeshine

[upbeat magnet]

Oh shit I haven’t tried that one. Not sure what configs they offer.

See if they have a full frame encode option rather than quarter or half frame first, try that. If you don’t, move to P5, but expect to lose some frames and introduce some latency albeit relatively limited

Encoding latency specifically

Like I said earlier I rose from ~2-3ms encode average at P1 to around 10ms average in P5

[steel wolf]

Yeah that shouldnt be too bad

[upbeat magnet]

P6 pushed ~20 and it was just not worth it at all

[steel wolf]

I'm doing like 3x framegen though so don't wanna push the latency too much

[upbeat magnet]

Ah with lossless?

[steel wolf]

nah just in game

[upbeat magnet]

Oh forced dlss version? I can see not wanting more latency in your case. I’m just doing 2x rn

[vital maple]

Feel free to slap me but where is the download link? I thought it was in the top post. Do I need to pay for early access?

[upbeat magnet]

Check pins

[steel wolf]

Yeah tbh it's not bad at all in this game havent had any latency issues. Will give it a try once my wife stops using the tv

[warm magnet]

Reno DX + max settings + optiscaler tweaks + parallax fix = 🤤

[steel wolf]

parallax?

[upbeat magnet]

Sounds good, let me know what you think. That said, if you are encoding at quarter or half switch to full will be the largest difference imo. But if you compound it with P5 it’ll look great

[vital maple]

Oh there we go, when you click mods > crimson desert there is no bloody pins icon, you have to click the named subchannel Crimson Desert for it to go full screen THEN it shows up 🤣

[warm magnet]

its a feature from the no hud and effects mod

[steel wolf]

Ok cool will try those first

[unreal mason]

anyone know whats up with windows defender insisting that this .addon is a severe threat?

[thin forge]

discord is confusing

[warm magnet]

it makes the textures look better is all

[steel wolf]

Are you doing AV1? I've been doing HVEC. Idk why but AV1 always looks lisghtly more compressed to me

[warm magnet]

Why are you sleeping in the river?

[upbeat magnet]

AV1 100%

[steel wolf]

what bitrate?

[upbeat magnet]

1GB/s but you can easily pass at 150+ at 4k/120

[steel wolf]

wait how I thought it was limited to 500mbps?

[upbeat magnet]

I just have the bandwidth so I’m full sending it

I’m doing weird shit

Forked version of moonlight on the Vision Pro supports higher uncapped bitrates

[steel wolf]

oh nice

tbh i can barely tell the differnece between like 200 and 500

[upbeat magnet]

Yeah it’s even less going up to 1G, I do not advise it lol

[steel wolf]

I want to try it tho lol I'm full ethernet so I think it wouldnt be an issue

[sick monolith]

rcas is integated already? so i don't need lilium's rcas shader anymore?

[upbeat magnet]

Likely not so long as your host and client NIC’s support your bitrate with some headroom.

500 is already more than enough tbh

[steel wolf]

Yeah idk if my client could now that i think about it

[stray grove]

@warm magnet the parallax fixe doesn't really just make the texture look better it change the depth perception of the ground and rock mostly making it look more in depth 3D wise 🔥

[upbeat magnet]

Yeah that’s always the caveat lol. If your NIC caps at 1G and you request it, you won’t have headroom over that really to handle anything else and it’ll choke out. I had to go through an annoying amount of effort to cap all my NICs.

If your client has a PCIe slot or a USB3.0 you could opt for a PCIe NIC that supports whatever bandwidth you want to push for pretty cheap, or the USB route then just limits you to the bandwidth over 3.0

Annoying, but workable

I found it more pain than it was worth lol

[manic valve]

Does anyone recommend preset 1 vs 2 vs 3? Are 2 and 3 just more vanilla looking?

[vivid iris]

preset selections are all identical, they just save whatever settings you apply in them

[manic valve]

Thanks for the info!!

Does adjusting the max nits mess with the config or is it to be done per monitor?

For example I have one OLED that does around 750~ and one that does 1400

[vivid iris]

set peak based on your screen

[manic valve]

Thanks again for everything

[ruby tusk]

For example if someone has a peak brightness of 450 nits in a 10% window, what should they set their peak brightness too?

[halcyon drum]

ingame brightness set to 100, renodx brightness 203, renodx max nit set to 1000 for my tv, exposure 1.15, saturation 55, all the bells and whistles enabled. It's so beautiful 😭 It's a total night and day difference between my game and my girlfriends game on ps5 with our tvs side by side.

[daring orbit]

i just look at the clouds in bright sunny weather, and adjust the max nits right to the point of blowing detail in the highlights

then i just adjust game brightness to whatever looks nice

[jolly isle]

Before and after. Wow.

so much detail lost before

[upbeat magnet]

Before and after what?

[gilded plover]

when grass ao

[stray grove]

@upbeat magnet parallax fix from no hud on nexus

[upbeat magnet]

Any negatives to using it?

[stray grove]

@jolly isle note that in some area it create artefact especially when your cooking you will notice lots of glitch using the parallax fix

[upbeat magnet]

Welp there it is lol

[stray grove]

@upbeat magnet its a 1 button toggle on off

so if it create some glitch you just toggle off anytime toggle back on

it look 1000% better with it turned on

only found 1 area having issue with it turned on and when cooking thats it so far

[upbeat magnet]

Will give it a go, don’t really have access to binds in a typical gaming scenario but maybe I can find a workaround. Cheers

Numpad 9 is default

[sharp moon]

Am I the only poor guy with an ips monitor here🥲

[stray grove]

@sharp moon na im on ips

renodx look awesome still

[jolly isle]

QD-OLED here

wish I had better HDR

[stray grove]

lol just rubbing it in he

[velvet cliff]

less parallax gives more lighting details?

[stray grove]

@velvet cliff dont think it affect lightning detail

[jolly isle]

I have pseudo HDR, 455 max nits isnt great

I think HDR10 is what, 1000+?

and not peak1000 mode

[stray grove]

its add a better 3D\depth perception with all object in the game counting ground rock and tress

[upbeat magnet]

HDR10 standard is 1000

[sharp moon]

You use hdr?

[stray grove]

@velvet cliff look at the difference in the ground detail with it turned on

[vivid iris]

just set it to whatever the clip point is in the hdr calibration app

[stray grove]

@sharp moon no in game HDR just renodx still work

[vivid iris]

the calibration app uses a 10% window as a test

[narrow token]

Should my game brightness in RenoDX be set to whatever max nits is for my monitor?

e.g. i think PG27AQDP does around 1300 nits, meaning should I set the brightness to 1300?

[ruby tusk]

and then match that to renodx or leave it at 1000?

[sharp moon]

Does the mod have a sdr option

[stray grove]

@sharp moon you dont need hdr to use it

it will work on ur ips pannel

[vivid iris]

set the value you get from the calibration app in renodx

renodx actually pulls that value for you if you had it set before running the first time

[ruby tusk]

Appreciate the explanation, thank you

[jolly isle]

like my monitor says trueblack400 mode but calibration actually shows it can do 455 nits

so I set it to 450

[low crane]

Is it ok to round up to 800 if it start clipping at 780?

[pure sundial]

which monitor?

mine is rated true black 400 but it can hit peak 1000

[jolly isle]

msi mpg 271qrx qdoled

[sick monolith]

no upscaling vs DLAA

no sure how DLAA halucinated tree branches here tbh

[pure sundial]

Should be able to hit peak 1000 on that monitor, probably have to enable it in OSD somewhere

[jolly isle]

I can choose either Peak1000 or Trueblack400

but Peak1000 has issues

[pure sundial]

ah

[cobalt sorrel]

i have the msi 271qpx e2, also doesnt begin clipping til 450 with windows calibration

[vivid iris]

I mean, it's not the end of the world but you should really just set it to the correct number

[cobalt sorrel]

Peak 1000 sucks on these few MSI ones with this naming scheme

thats why i have to use the TB 400 mode

[mossy gust]

games looking really nice, thanks for the mods

[jolly isle]

https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/updated-exploring-msis-firmware-update-for-the-peak-1000-hdr-mode-for-many-of-their-qd-oled-monitors

They still havent released it

its been a year

[final imp]

Step 2 right, step 3 is full screen brightness?

[vivid iris]

step 3 will usually be the same number

but yeah

[final imp]

Chatgpt been telling me I’m stupid saying they the same number lmao

Said it’s cause I’m using eotf boost. I’m losing me mind

[vivid iris]

the clip point is separate from the actual fullscreen nits your screen does, so it's probably just pulling a bunch of info about screens and not how the calibration app works

[cobalt sorrel]

interesting, yeah it says they still havent released it for my model. except their is a firmware update they dropped last month but all they did was "Optimized the count time behavior of MSI OLED Care."

[lucid thorn]

why do those textures look so crisp

[sick monolith]

any settings i should change if i dont use RR?

[upbeat magnet]

Vision calibration is actually kinda wild. Basically clips right at the end of the available range within ~25nits within the calibration tool.

[jolly isle]

yeah the issue is basically this, super generalized:

"TB400 remains visually brighter than P1000"

[analog root]

Alternative auto exposure off I think?

[jolly isle]

afaik there is not going to be a fix.

[vivid iris]

we're still not 100% sure which settings may have issues without RR.

[vivid iris]

BRDF, smooth terminator, specular aa, and diffraction might be the only ones?

[narrow token]

colours look kinda washed out with this mod and HDR on - is this mod fixing the toxic green spew?

[stray grove]

@narrow token there colorgrading slider in redodx you gotta adjust those

[opaque wing]

Hi, is there any official release date of this MOD?

[jolly isle]

without DOF you really see the bad LODs

the ocean and the buildings have obvious patterns

[opaque wing]

I didn't notice that there were so many issues in HDR from every game, until I used RenoDX.

[sick monolith]

HDR is the least of this game's problems

RR off preset

[opaque wing]

I know, but I think that they will fix it.

[opaque wing]

Is this game still blurry in near field of view?

[young pebble]

how? reno?

[wet musk]

where do i download?

am I missing sommething?

[stray grove]

@young pebble https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1?tab=files

Numpad 9 is default toggle for it
