Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[faint bobcat]

I tried some stuff

nothing really worked

[regal tundra]

All working now it was anti virus removing the file

[faint bobcat]

Needs engine side forcing perhaps

[regal tundra]

Question when a new version of the addon is released do i need to redownload the file or does it update automatically from the source destination?

[tame vault]

As much as I love the auto exposure changes, it just isn't usable outdoors at night. Keep running off cliffs 😂

[green wasp]

same running off cliffs

[lucid thorn]

Do y'all not use torches haha

[rough granite]

@faint bobcat if you stumble by hazard on the shader for cutscenes blackbars, I wouldn't say no for a toggle 😛

[green wasp]

After installing MoreLight, the lamp can provide lighting.

[mortal wolf]

i'm digging into the virus stuff. kinda insane an executable with a pdb is flagged as a virus

[flint moss]

i lose like 15% perfromance when i hit apply in optiscaler, am i doing something wrong? 4k perf ingame

[lucid thorn]

What are you optiscaling

[rocky umbra]

I think i found something that helps with the blocky/smudgy textures with foliage at night or with any darker scenes.

Turn post processing down to medium. This is with opti fsr 4.1 quality (3440x1440 native).

It looks much cleaner.

[narrow frost]

Sophisticatedly masked malware. 😱

[flint moss]

um wym? i used the 3.00 ratio

[lucid thorn]

That's not what I meant sorry I missed every bit of context

Are you using fsr? Dlss? What are we working with

[flint moss]

ooh, dlss

[lucid thorn]

Oooh.

[flint moss]

this is meant for fsr or?

[viscid wedge]

Naturally, you're asking for it to work harder

[analog prism]

Is it better than ingame FG or Nvidia smooth motion?

[lone inlet]

You need headroom for 3.0. Much heavier than 2.0.

[lucid thorn]

It's not but like others mentioned you're asking it to work harder aha

[lone inlet]

2.0 is a negligible loss

[viscid wedge]

fine. maybe i'll try it later. I'm expecting miracles from all the hubbub y'all have been doing

[stone comet]

1440p to 4k is a big jump already so imagine 4k to 8k LOL

[lone inlet]

Personally, I don't think it looks as good as dlaa. Better than dlss quality? Absolutely and that's fine with me. Probably better if you're playing at 4k.

[viscid wedge]

I'm at 4K playing on DLSS Quality + RR + FG

If I switch to Performance i'm in the 90-100fps range. If I can feed OptiScaler this and have it look like Quality mode, that wouild be ideal

does that sound like a feasible option?

[rare otter]

I put it to low and then optiscaler for FSR4.1 native AA and upscale/downscale to 4k, look pretty good ('m playing on linux)

[lone inlet]

Maybe? It's hard to say because you can't test custom resolutions in this game since they have the upscaling hardlocked which is stupid af but alas. Eyeballing it, it looks somewhere in the 80% to me whereas dlss quality is 67%.

[plush flint]

that is what is happening for me

[stone comet]

Worth a shot

[viscid wedge]

ahh, triple ping lmao

[vital bay]

@faint bobcat @dapper lake (let me know if i'm bugging you please) So i'm still trying to look into the fizzle effect caused by nature's echo, i've .. walked the shaders and found it's compute shader with the hash 1498874591 Is there a way to split this further into particular effects because it appears to control more than just nature's echo effects, it's also responsible for most of the weapon effects, axiom grab and more importantly, disabling it also turns off all fire and smoke sources.

[plush flint]

4090, run cinematic, RR 4k dlss quality, use optiscaler with 3x00, and dlss performance, black magic

[viscid wedge]

will give it a shot

[lone inlet]

I am using 2.0 instead of 3.0 tho so keep that in mind. Only have a 5070 Ti so I have no headroom with everything maxed and RR on.

[violet cobalt]

what if you use another DLSS on top of the DLSS that DLSSes the in-game DLSS?

[plush flint]

Using the Kaiser3 method for output btw

[rare otter]

you'll get DLSS5

[lucid thorn]

Then you need that Nvidia tool that plays games for you and now we're watching a movie

[narrow frost]

Then put Lossless scaling ontop at 10-20x for good measure.

[crude marsh]

this isnt some wild idea, its somewhat common to upscale to a higher res and then downscale that and get a better result

especially if you are on lower resolution like 1440 or below

[viscid wedge]

supersampling, its "new" 😆

[lucid thorn]

I did that on my 970 back in the day

[polar crow]

how does that optiscaler method work if I play 4k dlss performance? what do I need to put there?

[dapper lake]

that i cant help you with- anything i know would be regurgitated from others here haha i havent done anything code or programming related in years. Not bugging me though lmao

[paper heron]

anybody have an update on these fixes?

or is that current build

[viscid wedge]

the current build is in the pinned post

[hallow hound]

where can i download the file

[vital bay]

i still can't believe they shipped the game like that tbh. The bug is amazing, happens to everybody

[paper heron]

ik but i mean in that pic, are those fixes in the build?

[viscid wedge]

I believe so, all the latest exposure fixes are included. Get the more lights zip patch too.

[rocky umbra]

Wow - RCAS does a good job with the foliage on tree's really smoothes it out. But at the cost of brightnes

[paper heron]

okay thank you

[hardy owl]

@faint bobcat man we need higher resolution shadowmaps. The low res shadows are awful during daytime. Very nasty

[long drift]

still need much more light at night

[crude marsh]

plan on modifying weather later today

which includes the moon

[dapper lake]

id guess its a byproduct of how they have their RTGI etc set up so weirdly. Crazy how much of this stuff has made it through and not been mentioned/emphasised enough

ive been switching to perf in a lot of games recently yet CD comes a long and even quality can look terribly lmao

[crude marsh]

the rendering is basically all hacked together and low quality and somehow made semi presentable through post processing

[viscid wedge]

And supposedly DLSS is simply implemented incorrectly. Maybe they will work these things out

[dapper lake]

yeah not in the right place in the render(?) pipeline

[crude marsh]

post processing and heavy filtering

[vital bay]

yup, but using nature's echo (which you're basically forced to do) drops screen resolution to around 240p for the duration of the effect.

[dapper lake]

ive managed to get the effect without natures echo - use camera mode to get in transparancy range of foliage and it happens when resolving the image when it fades in and out of view

by effect i mean killing 90% of the pixels in the changing area

[dapper lake]

doesnt surprise me with how many games ive force martys RTGI mods into and somehow it works. But developing a game that way itself is wild

[vital bay]

im sure there's more instances yup, i've seen this happen in other cases too, but all of those happened much more rarely than.. literally just fighting and holding the right trigger to auto-combo

[dapper lake]

100% i hadnt noticed it until i got echo and now i know what to see im catching it occasionally

[paper heron]

any hacks you guys use to add shading to the grass?

[faint bobcat]

doesnt necessarily mean its that shader, could just be a composite for VFX but the actual issue is earlier in the pipeline

[faint bobcat]

RT improvements unfortunately cause a lot of noise and boiling

Dont want to release

Needs higher ray or spp amount

which is an engine side thing

(if its even possible to set)

[woven ore]

why is it doing this?

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/wut-nani-gif-25387499

[hollow kiln]

did you notice any adverse effects of turning post process to medium otherwise?

[rocky umbra]

Nope - it just looks cleaner.

[mortal wolf]

stupid windows defender doesn't care if i download the addon64 using curl.exe, but will say it's a virus if downloaded using chrome

at least i have a reproducible, i can use file:///c:/mods/renodx/** with chrome and windows defender will block it

[lucid thorn]

Maybe semi related

We also have a ray tracing-based directional light shadow implementation but it's not shipped for several reasons such as high demand for ray tracing budget and missing animated tree updates. We may consider including ray-traced direction light shadows in a future update.

[errant wolf]

my game crashes as soon as i get into the title screen

is there something ishould be looking for in the log ?

[lucid thorn]

What were your installation steps

[torpid zealot]

Testing

[paper heron]

sexy

[strange crow]

3x for 2k widescreen seem to much lol

[errant wolf]

Reshade 6.7.1 + renodx file and pinned addon for crimson desert.

[worthy belfry]

Need 2 finish my dissertation so I can play this guilt free. Every time I go on the game I play for an hour and the whole time I’m thinking I should be doing my diss 💔🥀

[naive jackal]

So does this optiscaler trickery work with MFG enabled in game?

[errant wolf]

wheres the old version. it worked with game update 2

fuck it ill just play without hdr

[faint bobcat]

we already tried messing with this, enabling it just gets us broken visuals

and missing shadows

guess we shall have to wait

Added a bit of AO shading and tip brightening to grass and foliage

nothing crazy but should stop grass looking flat

[lyric acorn]

hey, i got some noisy charakter shadow from my lantern. is this from engine or reshade ?

[faint bobcat]

base game

has abysmally low res shadowmaps

[lyric acorn]

okay ^^ cant understand by such a beautiful lightning system

but ok

[mortal wolf]

can't even submit to microslop. nice

[faint bobcat]

When Linooox

[modest sluice]

Afternoon everyone, just a quick question, today's release of the Reno mod is detected as malware on Defender.

Is this happening to anyone else?

[thin kelp]

one q

[lucid thorn]

I moreso meant that it's likely something they have some way to toggle :p

[viscid wedge]

everyone else. Been since the weekend.

[thin kelp]

auto exposition basically useless without RR?

[thin kelp]

when

[modest sluice]

False positive Spark?

[mortal wolf]

Wacatac.H!ml ml stands for machine-learning. aka more microsoft slop

[viscid wedge]

Yes

[modest sluice]

Thank you!

[paper heron]

the only renodx file i need is the one pinned rihght? the crimson desert one?

[quartz tendon]

You guys are freaking amazing, thank you so much for the work on this mod, it looks absolutely stunning on my LG G2 OLED 😍 Hope you have a nice finisher of the week 💖

[lucid thorn]

Works for me without rr

[quartz tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/itd-be-rated-e-for-everyone-warning-man-bald-man-focus-gif-12138773

[rocky umbra]

I see steam deck activity in the update history on steam - is that a good sign?

[mortal wolf]

y'all spreading renodx too much, spreads like the plague

[lucid thorn]

Is this good or bad

[mortal wolf]

worst kept internet secret

[rocky umbra]

Dems fighting words..

[lucid thorn]

We just want you guys to get that recognition

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-gif-23873036

[thin kelp]

too dark or bright in day

any tips for lifting it a bit?

[mortal wolf]

and yet, virtustotal says

it's strictly if you download it with chrome i think

[modest sluice]

Makes sense, as I downloaded it via Edge which is now Chromium based.

[thin kelp]

where?

[dire pilot]

If more people find out tho, big AAA devs will get their feelings hurt that a couple of guys on the internet can make their games look better with a reshade hook.

[mortal wolf]

irony is that if i make a wacatac app-like that downloads files off the internet for you, it wouldn't consider the mod a virus

[hardy owl]

Adaptation contrast to 40

[mortal wolf]

since wactac is a trojan/downloader

[rocky umbra]

https://steamdb.info/app/3321460/history/

[blazing ledge]

we need to spread HDR so more and more discovers it, and maybe more creates spectacular mods too

[thin kelp]

[lethal dawn]

Weird. Had no issues last night and now Reno dx has an error loading in reshade. What’s going on

[stone comet]

Antivirus

[lethal dawn]

It’s never done it for that file before and I copied it again and it didn’t work

Let me see if it disappeared again

wtf is going on ugh

[stone comet]

It just randomly gets flagged

[vivid iris]

It’s not that simple

[stone comet]

Give the folder an exception in defender or w/e you use

[modest sluice]

You can also escalate UAC and set it to allow and redownload.

[karmic quest]

What does the 3x00 do?

[dire pilot]

I just added the addon64 file extension as an exception to Defender. If anyone wants to infect me with a reshade addon, now's your chance

[analog prism]

I also would like to know a good number to put here to use for 1440p. x3 sounds excessive/performance killing

[primal coral]

that kinda tracks, I use firefox and I've had zero issues with defender

[mental dune]

rdr2 has better chickens

[mortal wolf]

i myself can't grab it from the github wiki without defender popping up. i even made a link to a local file:/// and windows defender didn't like it.

it's the action of using chrome triggering it

[dire pilot]

I use Firefox as well but Defender randomly threw a fit after using it for two days lol

[mortal wolf]

because it's AI slop saying it's coming from the internet

[blazing ledge]

someone said if enough people flag it as safe then the ai will no longer treat it as virus

the question is how much people

[analog prism]

3

[rough granite]

Full screen cutscenes 😄

Side effect: cannot skip them anymore or pause errr

[mental dune]

whats the best game brightness?

[fresh field]

whatever looks good to you

[mental dune]

i mean i dont want to crush lights or stuff

bcs one scene looks good

[analog prism]

how come all screenshots posted here are rendered so dark. i have to open in browser to get accurate colors

[fresh field]

discord SHITE

[lethal dawn]

Man now I can’t find the settings from someone here I used

Fuckkkkkkk

I’m so angry and sad and ugh

This sucks and is not ok

I had it all setup and happy

After days

Fuck thiiisisiaooaoaoaoaoa

[vivid iris]

This mod still isn’t even posted on nexus 🫠

[lethal dawn]

I can’t find the settings ugh I just scrolled and looked forever

I’m so depressed

Like I wasn’t already

Fuck all of this

[stone comet]

Just search for has:image

[karmic quest]

Chrome itself is a major virus in our systems yet we all use it anyways

[mortal wolf]

virustotal doesn't like it has "detect-debug-environment" to include debug stuff, because of course

[mental dune]

without renodx

clouds look shit

[naive jackal]

People want reno meanwhile Defender is like

[golden scaffold]

With the exposure fix you can set it lower because it will make a lot of scenes that were unnaturally dimmed much brighter now. However nights will still be dark. I compensate with decreasing contrast slider and maybe a tiny raise to exposure

[mortal wolf]

so let me obfuscate further by stripping out debug stacktraces

[mental dune]

and hdr isnt as impactful

[karmic quest]

The clouds look shit with our without renodx ngl

Idk what they did

[lethal dawn]

Ugh I don’t know what to do

[karmic quest]

But they look bad

[lethal dawn]

I’m freaking out

And I don’t even want to try to fix it if it’s just gonna happen again

[stone comet]

Freaking out over Reno settings 😭

[lethal dawn]

I used it for re9 with no issues like this

[stone comet]

Lore accurate spiderman

[blazing ledge]

dev of game hdr sometimes doesn't know how HDR really is for so yeah

[lethal dawn]

I tried so hard for days to get this right

And to come to play and it just be gone just feels like shit

And I can’t even find the settings I used as a guide scrolling forever

I feel hopeless now

[vivid iris]

The settings should still be in the reshade.ini

[lethal dawn]

where do I even start

is there an update since?

[hollow solar]

so does that mean there is not subsurface scatering on and it's just a lie or is there?

[faint bobcat]

I did not see SSS for grass or foliage anywhere

also theur depth bias is insane for foliage

I reduced it

so you should now get more self shadowing

on leaves

it was spreading out way too much

but It might grief something else, so I need to test

[faint bobcat]

yh they just seem to fake translucency via the 1.1x back face boost

that actually a good shout

maybe I can do something

[viscid wedge]

if you're using a phone, click the picture. if its a recent phone, the proper colors will load. inline in the chat they won't render correctly

[hollow solar]

when I saw it I was sure their foliage SSS was a lie turn out I was right lmao

[analog prism]

desktop

[viscid wedge]

hardware acceleration is off in Discord

[karmic quest]

@viscid wedge tried the optiscaler dlss + dlss method yet?

[viscid wedge]

I only heard about it this morning and i'm working right now, may screw around with it later

[karmic quest]

Who works when you have crimson desert

Tf

[fresh field]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[karmic quest]

Alr I'll try it first then, the blurriness in motion is driving me crazy with RR and DLSS Quality

[viscid wedge]

if only.. if only.. i'm consolidating quarterly MBO's for a presentation next week. what joy.

[flat turtle]

I tried to get it to work but im way too dumb to understand how to set it up properly

[karmic quest]

Yeah our business is also in shambles, colleagues going on vacation and none to do their Q1 reports lmfao

[naive jackal]

All a waste of time tbh, techtube told me you just need a PS5 and PSSR 2 and now you have the pinnacle of visuals

[karmic quest]

Cap

[viscid wedge]

did you take the sweet potato?

[modest hatch]

If you want enjoy the game

[vital bay]

i unfortunately did not

[modest hatch]

Just think of it as a 7/10

Then you’ll enjoy it

[stone comet]

You can enjoy a game even if its rated 2/10

Just saying!!!!

Just play games not every games a blockbuster masterpiece and its fine lmao

[viscid wedge]

graphical/performance issues aside, I think its higher than that, personally. the sandbox style and interesting map to explore is A+

[vital bay]

yup

[stone comet]

Shit story ruins a lot of the aspects for me but its w/e

[vital bay]

im only up to chapter.. 5 i think, i think the story is perfectly passable

the gorilla in church bit was awesome

[stone comet]

Yeah youre kinda alone om that part

[kindred shoal]

as long as the story isnt super intrusive it doesnt really matter that much

[steady orbit]

Hi. Where find last version addon renodx fir crimson desert? Thank you

[viscid wedge]

pinned posts

[stone comet]

None of it is coherent there's basically piss strings vaguely trying to convey something

[steady orbit]

for

[violet cobalt]

like when you go get information in the tavern, do arm wrestling and don’t even ask anything about the graymanes

[vital bay]

not the biggest fan of all the nonsense the camp people ask you to do

[violet cobalt]

story is abysmal but the game still pumps

[stone comet]

Yuhhh

[modest hatch]

Tbh the exploration is good not amazing

And I was really excited for this game

I hate that I’m saying this 💔

[stone comet]

Also a big missed part is the two other characters they're great mechanically but the way theyre tied into the actual gameplay is abyssmal

[kindred shoal]

i cant really think of many games that are as interesting to explore around

as this one

[primal coral]

I guess I spoke too soon, it randomly removed the addon now, had to restore it and its fine again

[karmic quest]

If only it looked as good and did not have so many issues

[kindred shoal]

as good as what

lol

[steady orbit]

@primal coral so is this version now without virus?

[viscid wedge]

I'm happy with how it looks (enough to not focus on at least) and runs ok so I guess thats why i'm having a good time

[hardy owl]

Where is this mod? I am interested

[mortal wolf]

!ml

[viscid wedge]

None of them have viruses, just false positives. workarounds are adding the game directory to the exclusion list and allowing the "threat" in protection history. All of this is done from with the Windows Security application, in the Virus and Threat Protection section.

[mortal wolf]

it's the discord and donate links apparently

[proud basin]

Yeah defender flagged mine about 5 minutes ago despite it being fine for the past day. I've just whitelisted the game directory now.

[mortal wolf]

time to sue microsoft for loss of income

[karmic quest]

As good as its exploration quality.

[fresh field]

yeah i just add my steam folder to the exclusion so it doesnt flag

[viscid wedge]

it may still grab it in your downloads folder before you move it. at some point i temporarily added that to the exclusions as well but removed it again, thats a folder I want watched normally lol

[steady orbit]

@viscid wedge so is 100% safe to use it this last renodx addon file?

[mortal wolf]

no, it offends SDR people. not a safespace

[viscid wedge]

the man himself has spoken lol

[vagrant wyvern]

Is there any bugs in the beta mod?

[true dagger]

y’all cutscenes aren’t in full screen by default? maybe it’s just on ultrawide where i see all of it

[steady orbit]

@mortal wolf im asking because may win 11 defender delete automatic this file bexause say is virus... i really wanna use this new renodx for crimson desert but im confused. What i must do to my win 11 not delete this file?

Sorry for my english

[viscid wedge]

yes, we've all been dealing with this since the weekend.

#1469072401450012774 message

[smoky fog]

no, if you're on 16:9 it goes to letterbox for that "cinema" feel ala Red Dead 2

[hardy owl]

My cutscenes are Fullscreen but they have black bars. Would be nice to be able to remove them

[steady orbit]

You doing amazing job with this renodx

[true dagger]

ahhh, this game does it better than rdr2 then, cuz rdr2 gave me black boxes left and right and top and bottom, this game doesn’t do that luckily

[viscid wedge]

21:9 cutscenes in a 16:9 frame are the worst

or just video in general

[steady orbit]

So is 100% safe to download then?

[viscid wedge]

I'm not a developer. All I can tell you is myself and everyone else here have been using it for days now.

[smoky fog]

only 99.9% safe. Every 1000 downloads someone gets Chinese Malware Surprise. ROLL THE DICE

[steady orbit]

Ok i try then. Please give me tutorial once again for win 11 defender what i must do?

[viscid wedge]

I can't give you a fully written out step by step but its all done in Windows Security > Virus and Threat Protection

[mortal wolf]

it's literally the discord and donation links in the mod

[crude marsh]

what about removing discord link

or can you do something stupid like, halve the strings and construct them later

[steady orbit]

When coming renodx on nexus mods for this game? Soon?

[crude marsh]

or base64 encode the strings

[mortal wolf]

there's a TextLinkOpenURL

meh, but it would be a text item, not button

but it would be on reshade i think that calls the action

[paper heron]

game looking much better

[mortal wolf]

apparently ```cpp
static void Launch(const std::string& location) {
#if WIN32
ShellExecute(nullptr, "open", location.c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
#else
std::system(location);
#endif
}

template <typename... Args>
static void LaunchURL(Args... args) {
std::string url = (std::string(args) + ...);
#if WIN32
SHELLEXECUTEINFO execute_info = {};
execute_info.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
execute_info.fMask = SEE_MASK_DEFAULT;
execute_info.lpFile = url.c_str();
execute_info.lpVerb = "open";
execute_info.nShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
execute_info.hInstApp = nullptr;

ShellExecuteEx(&execute_info);
#else
std::system(url.c_str());
#endif
}

is "dangerous"

[steady orbit]

Please give ne link to last file fir this game? Thank you!

[viscid wedge]

what the heck, why did the reshade popup for the screenshot get caught in the screenshot. thats not ideal lol

[earnest fox]

i need file for crimson desert how i can find it on this chat

[viscid wedge]

it shouldn't, how are you taking screenshots?

[quartz flame]

i tried few apps so far none work well

[viscid wedge]

ReShade, SpecialK or just SKIV are your best options and they work quite well

[mortal wolf]

just use Reshade's builtin screenshot tool

[quartz flame]

last one i tried just now is HDR Frame

[earnest fox]

tnaks got it

[quartz flame]

tried reshade to and still looks bad

[gentle cedar]

What settings are you guys using with the alternative auto exposure? I like it but it makes it a little too dark for my tastes and offsetting with exposure or lower contrast etc. I feel makes the daytime sky look too blown out.

[viscid wedge]

https://www.hdrmods.com/HDR-Screenshot-Guide

if you're using RenoDX, you already have the best option. Just open ReShade, go to the settings menu, configure the hotkey and location for images and you're done.

[languid sleet]

mind sharing your settings?

[quartz flame]

Special K or Skiv i dont know how to use yet

[crude marsh]

reshade screenshots work well and are HDR

[mortal wolf]

CreateProcessW is safe apparently

[crude marsh]

lmao

[polar crow]

I only put darkpower to 100, night is still very dark I think it will be fixed soon

[mortal wolf]

the irony is that reshade does this ```cpp
bool reshade::utils::execute_command(const std::string &command_line, const std::filesystem::path &working_directory, bool hide_window)
{
std::wstring command_line_wide;
command_line_wide.reserve(command_line.size());
utf8::unchecked::utf8to16(command_line.cbegin(), command_line.cend(), std::back_inserter(command_line_wide));

// Check if this is actually a website URL that should be opened in the default web browser via the shell
if (command_line.find("http") == 0 && command_line.find_first_of(" \t") == std::string::npos)
    return ShellExecuteW(nullptr, L"open", command_line_wide.c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, SW_SHOWDEFAULT) != nullptr;

basically ShellExecuteW for urls and CreateProcessWithTokenW if not

then again, reshade isn't clang

hmm, what if i make it a wstring, maybe it can't read it

[analog root]

Is anyone having this issue? My game colors turn strange sometimes

[rough granite]

@hardy owl install with Crimson browser mod manager

[chrome sun]

looks like a texture problem, any texture mod ? did you try to verify integrity and clear the shader cache ?

[hardy owl]

Awesome. Does it work well? No bugs?

[gentle cedar]

Nice yeah that would be great if it’s already being looked at. I was thinking if dark power could have a wider range that could help solve the issue but didn’t want to come off as greedy making requests.

[crude marsh]

I have to modify all of the weather in the game to make it work

so

[mortal wolf]

got it to trigger

[analog root]

Just Lazorr mod, relimiter and renodx

I didn't verify files and clear the shader cache.

[crude marsh]

IIRC that happens without something RT, I know people have posted it before

[rough granite]

Just that you cannot pause or skip anymore, not sure how to fix that

[mortal wolf]

yep, microsoft thinks discord links are viruses apparently

using L"wide" was worse, that triggers wacatac

[crude marsh]

cant obfuscate the link?

[mortal wolf]

hmm, maybe it timed out before actually

just any link

[jade kettle]

can someone explain to me whats going on with the trees in the distance? some are extremely low detail while others seem to flicker like they have christmas lights on them

this is all max settings , RR on, DLSS quality 4.5

[daring orbit]

yeah the lods arent top notch

[jade kettle]

thats a blob, what top notch

[daring orbit]

about redfall level

[gilded plover]

thats putting it kindly

[jade kettle]

im curious about people who are deep in the game, dont they notice these things? doesnt it bother them

[rocky umbra]

I set post precessing to Medium and it helped abit. There are probably multiple issues there though.

[faint bobcat]

game randomly does this it seems

people have this issue in vanilla as well

I had it happen to me but then it disappears

after I went into menu

[faint bobcat]

the flickering is becasue their depth test and temporal resolve for the sky shader is dying

its z flickering essentially between lods or meshes

and the sky

[hollow solar]

To me it look like the lod management system is busted, wouldn't be a surprise seeing the rest of the render pipeline

[karmic quest]

Dlss 4.0

[smoky fog]

yeah I was told to stick with 4.0 so that's what I've been doing.

[chrome sun]

Try that

[crude marsh]

trees in this game are all low quality no matter how close you are

their LOD0 is like LOD2

and much further out they dont really even have leaves

[lucid thorn]

Just have AAA devs work with these guys

[karmic quest]

😭

This should have been the first AAAAA game

[lucid thorn]

I get by with the light mod unfortunately 😅

[worldly swan]

Sooo can't we get auto exposure slider?

[left stump]

where do i download the mod ive never messed with hdr before sorry if its obvious

[naive jackal]

"DLSS 4.5 and RR" on is becoming as common as "where's the download"

[sleek veldt]

Perf M looks better than quality K

In my experience

[gilded plover]

blud went back 4000 messages for this xd

[karmic quest]

With RR you cant even change the modes

[sleek veldt]

I am not online every day D:

It was what was infront of me

and then I replied and it scrolled all the way down

[stone comet]

ubisoft already did that 😎

[karmic quest]

Nah they did AAAA

[sleek veldt]

but yeah

[mortal wolf]

the solution is to use ImGui::GetPlatformIO().Platform_OpenInShellFn() and let reshade open the link.

[sleek veldt]

One of those is DLSS Q preset K

[naive jackal]

Wouldn't Concord be the first AAAAA game seeing as it cost Sony in the region of 400-600 million 😆

[analog root]

How do I clear shader cache?

[karmic quest]

Sony could've given me atleast 0.1% of that

Such a waste

[analog root]

Got it. I thought it was a issue with this version of the mod

[smoky fog]

anyone else using this with Special K? I've been using it to disable Nvidia reflex to fix the stuttering so I'm worried about conflict

[modest hatch]

For real you and I could’ve shared 0.2%

[primal estuary]

i havent gotten this game to work with special k at all

[viscid wedge]

I did, but not when I went to use FG. I gave up on SK for this game as I really needed FG lol.

[gentle cedar]

Oof is that all? lol. Amount of work you guys put into this stuff is insane.

[viscid wedge]

(though others have it working with FG so )

[smoky fog]

hmm ok, I for sure need Frame generation

so that sucks

[viscid wedge]

It works (for others), just not for me.

[novel kayak]

Newest Reno + exposure to 1.25 seems to be perfect for me at night. Really clean

[civic gale]

quick question, I know it's specific from game to game, we leave HDR in game enabled for this correct? Can't seem to figure out best settings currently, HDR just seems too dark for me currently even when changing exposure etc.

[smoky fog]

does the night sky look correct to you? the vanilla night sky is like, very blue and its currently the biggest issue I have with the game visually, to the point where I'm wondering if its just going to get patched

[kindred shoal]

that feeling when you are doing a puzzle and get your ass beat by some grass

[left stump]

please can someone help me out with this im so lost never done anything with hdr before would really appreciate it

also this might sound dumb but hdr should be on in game right?

[burnt dew]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/199 just need one for darker area

[tall maple]

BTW I tried with suggested settings I've read elsewhere but once I watch the video after, it lags and is choppy as hell! What am I doing wrong. 4090 / 7950X here

[lament nymph]

oh who woulda thunk after 90 hrs I need the broom again

[mortal wolf]

hmm, maybe i should write a CPU-less video encoder

since renodx already has GPU level access to backbuffer

[kindred shoal]

cleanliness is godliness

[left stump]

anyone please?

[woven ore]

Yes

[hardy owl]

Agreed 💯

[upper sun]

Oh thank god.... THis shit made it literally unbearable to use any skills with natures echo

[analog prism]

@left stump There's a recommended button in the presets tab. This should be a good starting point. you don't need to change much so you can just try it out and see if you want to make some changes. did you already set your monitor peak brightness? hdr should be ON in-game

[lament nymph]

after, before

[tawny ravine]

@lament nymph so how's the story Jake Paul? After playing some more

[lament nymph]

even more nonsense

least I can now move the gang back to their own country but ... I'm not sure of the consequences so I'm holding off

[solar bone]

before and after what

[lament nymph]

I clean the panel

this is what it says, I have no idea what's the consequences cause it's so vague

[tawny ravine]

[lament nymph]

like if I move back does it means I complete the main quests or complete expansion

????????

[tawny ravine]

But people said it gets good after chapter 3

[lament nymph]

like I don't get it

[tawny ravine]

😭

[lament nymph]

least crops planted will be lost, yea sure but

[tawny ravine]

Tho my source for thst is the crimson desert subreddit

[lament nymph]

what about the other things

or I have to do all those things to move back

then why do the game even give me this notice

like this makes no sense

[tall maple]

What would be the settings for brightness for my LG G5 ? Anybody rocking that TV could share their RenoDX settings ? Thanks

[kindred shoal]

i believe those are the requirements before moving

[mortal wolf]

@vivid iris test ```cpp
new renodx::utils::settings::Setting{

},
},

[kindred shoal]

so it means complete all main quest up till this point, ocmplete broken embers etc

[tawny ravine]

You just gotta turn on your soluslike questing part of brain. Figuring out npc quests in Elden Ring was insanity inducing

[lament nymph]

thing is I didn't complete any of that

so if it's requirements, what's the point of this notice

if it's warning to do those ... then why even make this an option cause missable main quests are dumb

[stone comet]

so you dont make that mistake once you do complete them lol?

[lament nymph]

what mistake tho

this is just moving the camp

[stone comet]

lowkirkuinely i dont see the issue

yeah some people would not want that???

[civic gale]

Do you all adjust your in game brightness at all?

[stone comet]

nah

[tired oxide]

Does anybody has those opaque bars around characters?

[stone comet]

i just use auto exposure on + light mod and just lower adaptation contrast to like 47

[lament nymph]

got a new cool armor set for ... oongka

[vivid iris]

I'm assuming the goal of this was to try to avoid false virus detection? If so, still getting picked up

[viscid wedge]

in case you want to take HDR PNG's that you can easily share https://www.hdrmods.com/HDR-Screenshot-Guide

[flint tree]

Hello, can anybody provide me with little info on how to download renodx mod, I can't find link/download button.

[vivid iris]

pins

[flint tree]

oh

Thank You

[vital bay]

holy shit bro, thank you so much lol, i've been wracking my brain all day with this one

[tall maple]

Why does my screenshot looks washed out when I open it with paint or whatever in Windows but when I click on it here, it's fine ? Also, is there a way with reshade to have MSI After Burner OSD part of the screenshot ? Thanks

[fresh field]

does thsi work with reno?

oh, it just requires the addon support from reshade, i'm reading the comments on nexus

[elfin patrol]

Special K and Reno crash when loaded together?

[vital bay]

yeah, it's just the same shaderToggler, someone, god bless his soul, found the correct shader hash for the effect

haven't tested it yet but fingers crossed

[median kindle]

how do i bypass windows thinkin the file is a virus?

[fresh field]

ill test it shortly

its only two files so easy to remove if it honks up something

[tall maple]

Windows defender history and then click on the warning to allow

[strong palm]

What light mod specifically? the auto exposure improves the visuals tenfold, but it's a bit too agressive at night time, the lamp doesn't compensate at all. Even if i turn the dark power (outdoor) slider to the max.

[lament nymph]

... shadows are all blotchy at night

[fresh field]

in the pins, there is a let there be light mod that lazorr made that makes fires/candles much more bright

[strong palm]

Nice thanks!

[fresh field]

it helps compensate

[viscid wedge]

You need to use viewers compatible with HDR. I'm not sure why you'd ever need to use Paint? ReShade may have an option to include overlays but i can't look to test. In the Settings tab where you setup the hotkey and save location for screenshots, look there. (Personal question, but if taking pretty screenshots why would you want overlays visible?)

[strong palm]

The shadow boiling issue is related to DLSS, it goes away when you swap to DLAA, but then DLAA is also fucked 🤣

[lament nymph]

I always need to go to the settings to see if the game turned off RR by itself

[viscid wedge]

Sometimes. I had no issues with SK and Reno until I tried to use FrameGen and SK would crash. Stopped using SK and we're back in business with framegen. Others have it working though, so YMMV.

[tall maple]

It's usually for people that wants to see the data on wich settings or whatev, mostly to shut up the non believers loll 😄 Paint was just an example loll

[stone comet]

"LetThereBeMoreLight" in pinned, it's not perfect but turning down adaptation contrast helps a bit more but it's playable

[strong palm]

Tyvm!

[stone comet]

Just gotta wait till they figure something out if they do

CD engine torturing them enough as is LOL

[fresh field]

yeah im sure itll get fine tuned

[stone comet]

pearl abyss in their infinite wisdom linked auto exposure to the entire worlds lighting

[rough granite]

if we were to try to extend decals lifetime (e.g. blood on ground which disappears after 2s), is it a GPU shader that could be manipulated by reno?

[gilded plover]

Allgud

[faint bobcat]

those tend to be engine vars

[lament nymph]

crimson desert is such a horrible place to live, melon theft got the guards all worked up and interrogate everyone

melon is serious bizness

[faint bobcat]

shader just reads the data and shades it

[rough granite]

yeah I tried to search in XML but nothing promissing

only found in pae files but its more a definition

[fresh field]

i am trying that addon and i'm not seeing any difference between having it on and or not. my R2's still look the same.

I have RR on and FG

[analog prism]

guys just a reminder don't forget to actually play the game

[vital bay]

Testing it now, just added it to my thing

[viscid wedge]

I had to pay a tax last night of 50 silver. I got a trinket that sold for 100 silver as a reward.

1. I don't know if the bank knows how money works.
2. Sick

[vital bay]

it works brother, the effect of the weapon skill is still blurry, however the vegetation and everything else no longer gets pixel fizzle

[stone comet]

jesus they meganerfed reed boss

[fresh field]

ok maybe i was looking at the wrong stuff. i was focusing on the actual attacks lol

[vital bay]

easiest way to verify is to use the RB + A combo

and look at the vegetation

also make sure you actually have the nature's echo skill unlocked 😂

[lament nymph]

I deposited 10k silvers into the bank, now I have 2000

the banks is worthless in this game

[fresh field]

this may be what i dont have unlocked yet lol, i'll have to check

[viscid wedge]

10K??? brother man step away from the computer

[elfin patrol]

Lol.. so first RenoDX doesn't work with Special K.. and now it blocks Steam Input from working too?

[vital bay]

its on the left bottom side of the skill tree

[viscid wedge]

I had it working fine (without FG)

[fresh field]

isnt the bank just an investment engine and not an actual bank? lol

[true dagger]

i use sk and reno since launch no problem

[fresh field]

dont get into the stock market with that investment luck

[elfin patrol]

I assume you aren't using framegen then.

[true dagger]

with fg with rr with whatever

i am

[elfin patrol]

Regardless, reno is blocking steam input

[true dagger]

max settings, RR, FG

[viscid wedge]

I don't think Reno has anything to do with steam input

[elfin patrol]

How? I have the latest Reshade installed with the latest Special K. I've got the dxgi file from reshade w/ addon support in the directory. Reshade isn't being loaded within Special K.. and yet it crashes

[elfin patrol]

Thought so to, but it refuses to work when Reno is on

[burnt dew]

RR + POM disabled, clutter removal and the noise fix with heavy attack actually made the game 5x more enjoyable now. Just need to fix that shitty rain and darkness blur bs

[true dagger]

oh i’m just using it separately

[viscid wedge]

Everytime I've tried to load Rshade from SK i've had problems. Just installing them separately and using them normally its been fine

[true dagger]

reshade installed normally in game folders and sk just injecting globally

[vital bay]

Look, this is how it looks before the fix: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1469072401450012774/1486666963068387428/Replay_2026-03-26_12-01-30.mp4?ex=69c65600&is=69c50480&hm=39036ed32fa1c8eb310ec765f449c76cec25f6ca4ec072c1510312b6bd8d6ed1&
Would've gotten an after shot but my game just crashed trying to get an obs clip lmao

[elfin patrol]

Yeah I have them installed separately and it crashes on startup when together

Rebuilt the bin64 folder, installed reshade and the addon file. Special K command on Steam, and crashes on startup

[true dagger]

latest reshade version and latest sk from nightly builds?

[viscid wedge]

SK commands on Steam?

[fresh field]

holy fuck , it looked like a 240p video from 2008 YT

[elfin patrol]

and

[vital bay]

bingo

[true dagger]

just launch the game using Sk

[elfin patrol]

SKIF %COMMAND% on startup

It launches SK for you

[viscid wedge]

Just use the SK launcher to launch the game

[fresh field]

i def do not have nature's echo unlocked

[true dagger]

yea ik, i usually use SK as a game library manager to launch

[elfin patrol]

It's the same thing, fundamentally though it forces special K to start and then waits for a game

Trying though

[true dagger]

no clue then, ever since Kal made it more compatible with reno, i’ve had 0 issues with them together

[tawny ravine]

Meanwhile redditors are on another level. 95 hours in 6 days 😭

[elfin patrol]

Yeah just crashed, same thing

[vital bay]

well, you should, it essentially doubles your damage output as every skill you do gets a clone to do it too

[viscid wedge]

I was mostly just using it for screenshots but there are other ways to do that so I didn't bother troubleshooting it crashing when I tried to use FG

[fresh field]

is it tied to story prog or can i just get it outright

[true dagger]

try to reset your config

in sk

for cd

[alpine sedge]

I've never had a "virus detected" message for a renodx mod download... this isn't a compromised file is it? False flag?

[viscid wedge]

unemployment simulator

[stone comet]

People been dealing with it since day 1 reno for CD, it's fine

[vital bay]

get it ouright, you do need to unlock a couple of lvl 3 skills first though, keen something and the forward slash lvl 3

[paper heron]

can i adjust the auto exposure that fixes nights to be less dark, interiors are too dark too and even having the more light mod doesnt help

[flint moss]

Yeah I was quite disappointed tbh

[vivid iris]

it's a false flag, this happens to all of our mods from time to time. Basically it's cause we have links in the mod

[tame vault]

No not really

[stone comet]

I managed to fight him before it and it was fairly sick, but now he just stands there actually insane

[vivid iris]

to donation pages, more renodx mods, etc

[faint bobcat]

Dark Power (outdoors) slider

[tawny ravine]

Still that's like 15 hours a day like how can you play that much without decomposing

[paper heron]

i have it maxed but still too dark for me sadly

[tame vault]

Ah wtf I missed this

[faint bobcat]

we can increase the slider amount

[paper heron]

!!!!!!!!

[faint bobcat]

if you shft click on it

you can set any value

[viscid wedge]

was there another patch today?

[paper heron]

thatll be dope

dude thanks

ill try

[flint moss]

Hope the bosses get more challenging later, I haven't died once yet. Just heal your way through lol

[flat bear]

ive been trying to do this but for some reason it wont let me enhance it to lvl 2 even tho i meet the required

[elfin patrol]

Downloaded the latest special k nightly from the discord, from today (not last nights version) and poof it works now

[flint moss]

Not sure did him like 2 days ago. But tbf I had explored and unlocked plenty skills, maybe thats why he was easy

[tame vault]

Everybody showing off their cool armour and I've got the same armour I had from like an hour into the game, not finding anything

[fresh field]

[tame vault]

I was hoping to just organically encounter stuff

[flint moss]

Bro my character steaight up lools like a jester of the court or something

Ugly af

[fresh field]

all teh good stuff is found in chests in the world. I mean enemies do drop armor but it wont be as good as golden chest items

[viscid wedge]

is there an early game way to recolor armor? (early as in chapter 4)

[vital bay]

you need to unlock keen senses 3 and forward slash 3 too to get nature's echo 3

[tame vault]

Are there just very few golden chests near the first town?

I've not really travelled much further than hollows hill

Cunts keep giving me quests and shit

[viscid wedge]

what chapter are you on?

[tame vault]

4

[hardy owl]

If I want brighter interiors should I increase the value or decrease it?

[viscid wedge]

Oh, well you can probably buy the armor from the reputation guy in the castle in Hernand. I did, upgraded that and got me through a few bosses

[flat bear]

I have those unlocked, do i also need the side slash leveled to max for the nature's echo enhancement?

[fresh field]

go off the beaten path and explore.

There are some gold chests in the main town too

[rocky umbra]

Don't forget to disable dof, blur and camera shake in accessibility options.

It helps clean up the image 😆

[tame vault]

Think he sorted me out with some nice shoes 👍🏻

[lament nymph]

ya know how hard it was to git my armorset? I have to stay behind a pillar poking at an op boss for like 15 mins

cause he one shots me otherwise

[sand vector]

where can one find such a slider?

[viscid wedge]

In RenoDX

[faint bobcat]

Underneath auto exposure

[sand vector]

im blind

but found it

[meager cipher]

Anyone got any additional tips? for reference running on LG C2 Oled HDR and HDR on in game, Settings all on Cinematic with RT on but RR off, and DLSS 4.0

[ionic parcel]

still no idea what the real denuvo's purpose in single player games is, as if u don't wanna pay for it, u can simply buy it, bypass steam drm, and make a refund lawl

[meager cipher]

Added some tone mapping / basic reshade fixes for the oversaturated flora etc.

[ionic parcel]

only thing I can think of is no way to get one before it's actually released

[lament nymph]

red desert flames are red

[viscid wedge]

Same screen, w/ HGiG on. You've got the basics correct and everything you've adjusted is personal preference. I haven't touched any of the color grading but I have Disable AWB on. I'm also using a little RCAS sharpening (you have it at 0). If you're happy with it, its all good

I had to fix the flame hue. the pink didn't annoy me until I slid that around to see what it could be, then I understood the aversion to the vanilla look

somehow I made smoke purple with them, but haven't been able to replicate it. #1469072401450012774 message

[cerulean geyser]

can "Visual Redux Reshade by Skytex" be used with reno?

[viscid wedge]

Typically those are meant for SDR values so probably not. No real reason to use them anyway with the color grading options in Reno, thats all they are in the first place. Someone twiddled some sliders and saved it as a "preset".

[meager cipher]

@viscid wedge Appreciate the response. Also using HGiG.

As for sharpening seems ok (playing on TV from a distance) but will test with your config, also good tip, will play around with flame hue.

FYI I set exposure to 1.25 based on the video and played around with contrast, 55-60 fixes some of the "flatness" i see so liking it so far

But biggest gamechanger are the nights, now it actually feels like KCD when it's dark dark but realistic

[jade flame]

For those who play with RR ON.
Are there any settings I can turn down for free performance boosts or does everything have a visual cost?

[viscid wedge]

Use upscaling, thats about it.

[paper heron]

not letting me change the values, shift click right?

[jade flame]

Yeah. Already using DLSS 4.0 @ Balanced on a 1440p screen. Was wondering if there was anything else.

[lament nymph]

the storage for helping out ppl is capped at 240

[meager cipher]

@viscid wedge Did you test these, I am playing around with them but can't see much difference for e.g. with specular AA or diffraction on rough surfaces

[lavish lance]

The game gave me insane eye strain so I refunded it. Guess it had to do with it being really blurry plus using chromatic abberation. Did anyone have similar issues and can tell me if using RenoDX fixes this? Don't want to buy it again if I won't be able to play it.

[lone inlet]

Pretty much every setting has basically minimal impact on performance outside of RR and the lighting setting. That's why you cant just turn settings down to offset the hit from RR. You have to use upscaling.

[tame vault]

It massively reduces piracy.

[viscid wedge]

I toggled them all and I couldn't personally determine what they were doing, no. Other than the moon size which was awesome lol

[jade flame]

On another note.
I figured out the source of this "bug". (Kind of)
It isn't Reno related. I just didn't notice it before.

But it appears to be related to their low RT sampling rate.
Is another artifact that is solved by using RR.

Artifact is most noticeable at dusk & dawn.

https://youtu.be/qW-C2X79LgA?si=douE4knCWsQxAyaj&t=17

[mortal wolf]

there's sliders for CA, we basically disable it, if anything the image can get too clean, where some minor film grain will clean up banding

[paper heron]

i ctrl clicked to change it but it seems anything above 100 doesnt chage anything

[tame vault]

How different is 100 Vs 0? And is 0 the default?

[faint bobcat]

then thats as far as it goes within the games setup

you will need to adjust other settings

which will lead to blown out skies gain and interiors

[paper heron]

i see

anything is better than daytime nights so its good rn

[rare vapor]

how do i know if i should have this setting on or off? on by default but seems to just make things washed out.

[jaunty zealot]

what's PBR fix?

[jade flame]

I've actually left a building before and have been confused what time it's supposed to be at times.
(is it day time or night right now?)

[viscid wedge]

man people keep digging up that mention of PBR don't they lol

[crude marsh]

honestly vanilla is probably the most eye straining game I have ever played

turning off CA and sharpening help a ton

[viscid wedge]

They are referencing the parallax changes in this mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1

[crude marsh]

but its still insanely distracting to my eyes with how much on the screen constantly flickers and changes

[faint bobcat]

Those are all material related settings, Diffuse BRDF controls how light hitting a material reacts and reflects. It controls the light "shading" properties of the scene

Smooth terminator is also tied to BRDF maths, you will notice it on lights and other surfaces

Specular AA just reduces some shimmering from specular materials (it doesnt solve RT or GI based noise thats different)

Diffraction controls an optical phenomena which causes metallic surfaces to spectrally shift and bend wavelenghts (this is a subtle change for metal surfaces mostly)

Vanilla / EON

as an example

lol when i read set nits to 5k, i mean...

is that the fix? 😂 😂

[viscid wedge]

the fix is RenoDX

[jaunty zealot]

i kno lol, was just laughing ❤️

the fix would be they ffix RR and other shits, so reno can fix actual problems

since we can't fix render pipeline

[crude marsh]

why do people keep saying fix RR

[sterile sable]

isn't paralax already gimped if you enable RR?

[jaunty zealot]

ok, how should i say then?

[crude marsh]

well what is wrong with RR

its the only way to get lighting currently anyways

[viscid wedge]

have to allow it through your AV

[crude marsh]

their displacement maps suck and RR denoises them which is annoying I guess

[sterile sable]

dlaa+rr results in blackbar flicker on top of the screen, and RR denoises parallax effect as you said earlier

[sudden pulsar]

It’s HDR + DLAA that should be the issue for the flickering black bar, not RR

[viscid wedge]

which seemingly doesn't affect 40 series

[sudden pulsar]

Nice lol

[upbeat magnet]

Was there already a RenoDX update that addresses dynamic adjustment to auto exposure? Saw the update that came through yesterday.

[ionic parcel]

does anybody have that glitch with these icons on top not disappearing at all, even during cutscenes?

[sudden pulsar]

Anyway, this is something the studio likely will have to fix themselves

[upbeat magnet]

I still get hit with it.

Don't think it's a global 40-series non-issue.

[viscid wedge]

are you in the camp?

because yes they're up all the time while in the camp, even in cutscenes for me

[dire pilot]

I get it with a 4080S 🤷‍♂️

[dapper lake]

are you using the noise fix and the no hud no efects in tandem? Fikrst time ive had duplicate file names for addons - mind explaining how to get them working together? bc ill end up breaking something lmao

[rocky umbra]

What is this 'noise fix'? 😲

[dapper lake]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/199?tab=posts

it gets rid of the noise from the slashing effect which is made worse by unlocking echo

[burnt dew]

I actually disabled POM myself before i saw the no hud effect thingy, but it should work if you copy paste the code from the Shadertoggler.ini

[golden scaffold]

so we need a modified shadertoggler mod to make both of these mods work? (hide hud + noise fix)?

[lucid thorn]

This

[dapper lake]

ahhh lmao fair enough, cheers ill try that - never messed with this aspect of reshade

[burnt dew]

This should work. It has 3 effect in the toggler. Noise fix, POM and clutter

[lucid thorn]

I've been told that

[shut badge]

should I restart the game or wait for a potential softlock fix from the devs 🤔

[viscid wedge]

https://packaged-media.redd.it/m195t10olcrg1/pb/m2-res_1080p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&var=sgpssan&v=1&e=1774566000&s=bb134a7b0ec7b6e5a4d0e84ec8bfdf20f904c919

Strats, I guess.

[golden scaffold]

wdym i'm not allowed to mess with mods and debate best DLSS settings for 5 hours straight and then play the game for 1 hour are you saying this is not how the game should be played??

[lucid thorn]

I didn't struggle too much with reed but i also spent 30 hours exploring before I fought him so like.. I also upgraded my gear and stuff

[lucid thorn]

Nice strat

[dire pilot]

How is this not everyone's goty?

[golden scaffold]

STS2 came out, tough competition

[golden scaffold]

bro

[stone comet]

I just saw a vide of it, he moves around less and you can just whollop on him

[golden scaffold]

I did the same thing but why didn't this happen to me? where did I fail?

more reshade slop on the nexus for you to enjoy

um reshade top teste e veja a magica!!!

[dapper lake]

thats done the job cheers

[lament nymph]

why does everyone have that armor

is that the deluxe edition armor

[fleet jacinth]

the fix is 5000 nits right into your eye balls

[golden scaffold]

I like how renodx mod thumbnails are ussually a meme in direct contrast to these "super amazing next gen realistic HDR10+++" reshades

[lucid thorn]

He still danced around me 👀

[fleet jacinth]

thats a funny reddit there you guys linked

[tame vault]

This just sealed the deal for me

[golden scaffold]

yeah it's p2w slop i'm not spending on that. way too gaudy

[stone comet]

500 more reshades

[lucid thorn]

The shield goes hard tho

[dapper lake]

looks to be aye

[lucid thorn]

Deluxe shield is like the wolf head shield

[golden scaffold]

don't make me regret not preordering

[tawny ravine]

@lament nymph can't believe you would lie smh #fakefan

[lucid thorn]

Nah that one he's wearing is just preorder shield

[stone comet]

plenty of cool shit ingame

[golden scaffold]

i was waiting to make sure we got renodx working ok

[lucid thorn]

This is the deluxe shield

[golden scaffold]

that's what I was saying?

[lucid thorn]

Oooooo

I'm stupid sorry

[stone comet]

not even 90 hours in?? poser much

[steady stirrup]

the reno file is getting smart blocked, ive tried allowing the file and foldeer in windows security, and its still giving 45561 error any ideas what to do

[golden scaffold]

i have 24h in the game and maybe 48h on discord and modding i thought this is how you're supposed to play the game?

[viscid wedge]

Disable Smart App Control

[crude marsh]

dont worry I have thousands of hours in games I have never played

[golden scaffold]

basically -almost my skyrim experience in a nutshell (add cyberpunk too)

[tawny ravine]

There's nothing better than spending literal weeks making your own mod list in Skyrim just to quit the game after a few days

I think at this point I enjoy tinkering with stuff to make it work more than actually playing the game

[golden scaffold]

I think this doesn't apply just to videogames

[dapper lake]

fr this was lorerim for me. took the easy option and then still had to troubleshoot for ages only to stop playing when i went up high hrothgar

[golden scaffold]

you're either a thinkerer, or a player. seems to be that way

[tawny ravine]

I have been meaning to try lorerim. How is it? I tried Nolvus for a bit but wasn't really for me

Didn't they finish with the updates or something like that?

[lament nymph]

I love playing video games, tinkering is not for me unless required

[golden scaffold]

how many genius mechanics are actually racing the cars they mod? how many racers know exactly the ins and outs of how everything in their car works?

[lament nymph]

like I spent a week ram testing for stability and just leave it at that

[waxen hatch]

which settings i have to adjust to my screen?

[dapper lake]

it was definitely better than making modpacks myself but its changed. it was 300/350ish GB when i played and its 600 now. If you have the storage and patience to download (i recall it not being anywhere near my full speed) its worth checking out - i believe its more fleshed out in terms of stability too

[tawny ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/facts-straight-up-gif-21244543

[lament nymph]

u mean f1 drivers don't know how their cars work inside and out?

[tawny ravine]

Ye I have the capacity to run it. Only reason why I got 64GB of ram for my pc is because of Skyrim modding. And 6TB of storage

[golden scaffold]

you think this is really what they spend most of their time on? figuratively speaking. or rally drivers

[dapper lake]

Yeah i upgraded to 64 for star citizen mainly and im glad i did when i did. i think im up to like 11TB in Nvme now another thing im glad i did before prices went up

[lament nymph]

they spend most of their time testing their cars and tell engineers how it feels?

like if they don't know how their cars work you think they would be able to tell instead of " ughh turning is harder "

[golden scaffold]

it goes both ways and it's not like modders are not playing the game but there's a certain set of people that enjoy spending more time with one part of the hobby than the other

[dapper lake]

I lied, 13 give or take format space

[lament nymph]

you name your drives too good

[dapper lake]

i wanted to buy a cheap 2nd gpu for lossless but my shitty mobo is either have an extra nvme open or a second pcie so rip ig

see i used to do that

then i started having trouble with windows randomly putting residual files on random drives

and getting rid of it all became a pain when also taking them out and in bc it was causing me to not boot

never again

[tired oxide]

Wtf is this?

[lament nymph]

wind

[golden scaffold]

A tutorial quest has been added at the start of Chapter 3 to help players learn more about Abyss Gears.
can we still do this later anyone got this quest?

[lament nymph]

did they have a new patch

[dapper lake]

"slow things" a big HDD? I remember for like a year before 1 died i had some wd blues in raid and it made the HDD issue less of well an issue

[lament nymph]

or is that old patch notes

[lament nymph]

it's a beeg hdd that functions as a media server too

[dapper lake]

the one that died was like 6 or 7 at the time ithink

[lament nymph]

so most of the space is filled with remux

[jaunty zealot]

kinguin and such sell preorder shield for just 5 euro ig you want it ❤️

[dapper lake]

ahh fair, id use my pc for that but honestly the cost in power would be stupid compared to buying a small pc or nas lmao

[lament nymph]

[dapper lake]

but thats just bc i have all my shit ocd and cba undoing it for idling haha

[stone comet]

wanna spare one 😭

[golden scaffold]

good to know, but I remain stubborn that my guy "doesn't need it"

[jaunty zealot]

yes, you are doing great, im getting crazy with mods, while watching streams of CD, meanwhile i just barely launched my copy of Crimson Desert. so there is always a better way to do things 😂

[dapper lake]

last spare i had went to my little sisters indoctrination into PCs lmao, it was a 1tb 970evo iirc

i wish i could spare some but not in this economy

[stone comet]

i had like 2 drives just randomly die on me so gg

[dapper lake]

rip

ive had 1 drive die on me and it was that 5-7 year old wd blue

[stone comet]

thats fair considering its a hard drive these were fairly recent ssd's

[dapper lake]

only other component ive had straight up die is an h100i cpu cooler, and i suppose possibly my psu which was 10 at the time when i slapped a 3080 into it lmao

[stone comet]

LMAO thatll do it

[solar bone]

I'm so tired of lighting changing haircolors of people lol

[dapper lake]

what brand was it? ik samsungs have long warranties usually

iirc 3 or 5 years?

[stone comet]

uhhh 870evo so ill need to send it in

[dapper lake]

well that was the case back for the sata ssds with vnand

[lament nymph]

[stone comet]

its super funny how it happens, your snow white horse just turns pitch black LOL

[dapper lake]

the cats do it too

and sometimes cliff

[stone comet]

yeah legit everything does

[dapper lake]

one sec

[golden scaffold]

that is such a pearl abyss BDO thing it almost feels natural to me after playing that game for so long

[rocky umbra]

Drip...

[sick monolith]

RIP same issues from 3 days ago

[warm magnet]

The parallax and the LODs and textures all look the same with and without RR to me, All I know is that the parallax fix in this mod just makes the LODs and the textures have more detail and look better overall

[dapper lake]

ill admit my taste is horrendous

[lament nymph]

well you can build your greek god statue later

[dapper lake]

jesus

dudes getting a little big for his boots

[gleaming halo]

how can i download the files ??

[warm magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/check-the-pins-kowalski-penguin-gif-20219688

[golden scaffold]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/207

is someone using this

does this work with crimson browser mods?

[viscid wedge]

it was uploaded 3 hours ago

[rocky umbra]

the mods are coming in hard

[crude marsh]

AI boom be like

[golden scaffold]

ok i'm maybe a bit early. but I do have 2 PAZ mods while all others are crimson browser mods

[viscid wedge]

there are a bunch of replies in the Posts tab

[golden scaffold]

so i have to keep track of PAZ manually while crimson browser does it's thing but it's also messing with PAZ

for example our more lights mod doesn't have a crimson browser install method so it's a manual thing

[viscid wedge]

Unless there is something game changing in a mod, a week after launch is way too volatile of a time for me to be messing with mods when i'm trying to enjoy the game. So many popping up, no clear cut "best" options, game updates breaking them.. eh. Other than Reno of course, as its just the best.

[crude marsh]

its just a file in 0011/0.paz

[golden scaffold]

I guess it doesn't hurt to use this along with the crimson browser

[crude marsh]

well that isn't quite the latest

[flint moss]

I can recommend the 3rd person camera mod though, much better tham default

[golden scaffold]

that one seems to have it's very own install method at least, i don't even know what files it modifies

[crude marsh]

its just an xml file for camera stuff

0011/0.paz miscellaneous/lightpreset.xml

man these weather sequence files

are a pain

in my ass

[tame vault]

This one?

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/65

[tall maple]

Yeah I use that one. Pretty good.

[tawny ravine]

What are the chances of all these mod managers popping up being completely vibe coded by AI

[tame vault]

Thanks, will try it. The camera is a bit crappy

[tawny ravine]

That's like 3rd or 4th one for CM

[sudden arch]

hello, i just installed reshade with addon support, latest version, than downloaded the crimson desert single file and put it where the exe is, when i press Home, resahe appears but there is no RenoDX addon tab? am i missing another step?

[tame vault]

Kind of like FPS limiters 😛

Kal will forever be the goat

[golden scaffold]

omg you're so right. reading the mod description...

they didn't even bother to change the fucking em — dash 😭

vibe coding slop at it's best

[flint moss]

No that ones kinda broken. Its called 3rd person something something

[sudden arch]

any away to remove chromatic aberation and film grain?

[smoky brook]

did the rain get fixed or am i placebo

[smoky brook]

yeah the mod does this

[golden scaffold]

this guy started posting mods on nexus 3 months ago i'm not saying his mods are bad or not working i actually use a few of his mods for CD but can't deny use of AI in his descriptions and it sounds more like it just used it for "describe my mod" but this is peak ai slop speak example

[sudden arch]

ok i just downloaded the inned file! heres hoping it will work

[tame vault]

This? https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/112

[sudden arch]

i wish i can disable all hud, and completley change how the camera is positioned and fov as well in terms of "camera lenses"

[golden scaffold]

bro if somebody writes their mod descriptions like this what are the odds mod was entirely vibe coded? (but hey.. it works?)

[sudden arch]

heres how my reshade looks, RenoDX addon is not showing up after coppy psting the file where the EXE is

[tawny ravine]

I just went to the github page of that mod manager and look at the contributors

Love AI slop programs

[tame vault]

Very, very high. And in 12 months time....most new things on earth will be vibe coded

[flint moss]

Thats the one 👍

[golden scaffold]

dead internet theory is so real now

[tawny ravine]

It really is becoming more and more real

You should go to reddit and check the vibe coding subreddit

[tame vault]

We're all fucked

[tawny ravine]

The people there are mental

And delusional

[tame vault]

I wonder if there will be a conscious shift offline, back to real life

Plumbers earning way more than software devs

[light mantle]

damnlmao this thang blew up

so many people playing red sahara

[tame vault]

I would encourage any kids to be considering practical trades, building etc

[faint bobcat]

aplogise

we at 30K msg in a week

Mogged Endfield

[golden scaffold]

what, you don't like your crimson déssert? 🍰

[light mantle]

to be fair

endfield was actual dogshit

once we actually sit around to play it

[tame vault]

How? It sponsors Digital foundry

Must be good

[golden scaffold]

i was scared of that day once everybody realised it, i figured this on like second day of playing 💀

[light mantle]

the fact that we drummed up so much message just by shitting on the game's rendering alone

[golden scaffold]

i checked out early

[light mantle]

is an achievement

[light mantle]

i mean the concepts are nice

[sudden arch]

i cant click to install the RenoDX for CD 🤔

[light mantle]

its just the endgame execution

there's no content right now

gameplay side no content

story side decidedly mid

[vestal flicker]

I'm just waiting for @faint bobcat and @crude marsh to finish fixing the game. I'm getting the game right after.

[golden scaffold]

i'm personally just gacha burned out and this one was asking too much of me, i loved the work that was done for the mod but too bad i couldn't stand playing more gacha slop, i wanted to, gave it a chance, that was it

[faint bobcat]

this game is the same

but maybe even worse

midfield is mobile slopper

this isnt

and my god everything rendering side is just himped

[stone comet]

brooo the green skill fix is so insanely goated

i was so confused why my screen was literally blurring

[vestal flicker]

Yeah. I'm also burnt out on gacha dailies. Back to playing real games for a while.

[golden scaffold]

"mobile slopper" i'm adding that to my vocabulary

[crude marsh]

thats not how you install reno, tbh idk why it is in the reshade installer

[vivid iris]

I think it's to advertise reno but yeah it's confusing

[sudden arch]

m using SKytekReux and use the option that only desaturates the grass, now the game looks absolutely amazing

[vivid iris]

honestly the whole reshade installer needs a rewrite

[light mantle]

okay so have you actually played the game

[stone comet]

When you get this skill you have to use this mod or youll be suffering https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/199

[light mantle]

long enough

or have you been

[golden scaffold]

once you burn out on one mobile gacha slopper it'll be very hard to dedicate yourself to more of this when it feels like you're doing the same shit all over again

[light mantle]

graphics slopping

all this time

[faint bobcat]

no

I am still in the starting town

[vestal flicker]

Isn't that the devkit or something ?

[sudden arch]

neither do i, i followed the steps but theres no renodx tab in reshae ingame

[stone comet]

Meant a slightly different thing LOL

[faint bobcat]

I havent gone anywhere

[light mantle]

LMAO

[faint bobcat]

I havent been in combat since the intro

[golden scaffold]

is this compatible with hide hud and how do i make it work

[stone comet]

check your antivirus

[vivid iris]

it's probably the antivirus flagging the file

[stone comet]

I dont use hidehud but it's just a shadertoggle file for reshade

[sudden arch]

WOW

ok ill just tag the entire CDfolder than

[golden scaffold]

so is the hide hudder 💀

[stone comet]

oh lmao

maybe its possible to merge em

[golden scaffold]

that's what i was asking it has to be

[light mantle]

"i have 200 hour in crimson desert"

*haven't left the starting town

[faint bobcat]

@light mantle imagine finishing the AIC in Hub base

[crude marsh]

shader toggler files are just a list of shaders so

[faint bobcat]

thats me for 60hrs

[grim elk]

reno doesnt show up in this tab, you wanna look under addons, and then its jkust turning it on or off, actual reno sliders etc should pop up as a separate wiondow.
and then as otheres said, check av, windows defender was reading it as a trojan in my case

[golden scaffold]

hey, game is not just all about combat

right..?

[flint moss]

dude tysm for this

[fast geyser]

So I added RenoDX, letherebemorelight and no-hud mod to remove parallax. What more should I do? Optiscaler for output scaling? Or DLDSR? Currently on 4k DLSS P with RR, FG x3, steady 180fps capped on my 5090

[carmine stump]

is there a way to prevent windows defender to delete the reno file? Or do I always have to retrieve it the next day?

[crude marsh]

I particularly enjoyed the part right after the intro where I had to find and carry animals around and listen to crazy people talk for an hour and a half

[golden scaffold]

i use these mods if youre a controller user

[grim elk]

protection history and allow

[crude marsh]

can try output scaling, probably helps with noise/stability a bit

[fast geyser]

I was more about visuals, somehow the controls play kinda fine with me, not that much of a bother yet

[golden scaffold]

then there's nothing else

[fast geyser]

What setting would you recommend?

[sudden arch]

stil nothing, at least now it appears as addon 🤔

[golden scaffold]

wait

[sudden arch]

nvm im blind af

[golden scaffold]

get the mod that fixes heavy attack

[carmine stump]

But defender will put it in quarantine the next day when I start the game again

[crude marsh]

at 4k try 2.0

[golden scaffold]

get this maybe #1469072401450012774 message

[golden scaffold]

but it possibly conflicts with hide hud since both are using shader toggler?

[stone comet]

okay launching to see if it worked and they'll be merged hopefully
