Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[fresh smelt]

i didnt want to play anyway

[finite anvil]

It seems really bad

[subtle sinew]

It does when you crouch and it has black level raise

[foggy dust]

I did. I want Damiane

[crisp compass]

CTD here as well

[foggy dust]

Yeah. I've enabled Gsync to see if it's fine in this game, but Forge broke my game.

[kindred shoal]

SHe ahs been unable for me to select her since forever lol

[mortal wolf]

yep, that's perfectly enforceable in court

[dapper lake]

any luck?

[finite anvil]

Lord save me from vignetting, CA, film grain, and lens flare

[faint bobcat]

You see, I would know that if I actually played the game

[subtle sinew]

You're doing a great service to us all 🫡

[faint bobcat]

except the thing CTDs

let me pull up clang build

[crisp compass]

I just started CTD from the reno update soi need to revert rq

[dapper lake]

lmao fair

[kindred shoal]

vignette isnt even that bad in this game

[torpid warren]

I thought the vignette only happened if you were in bushes or trees to show you were hidden

[shut badge]

yeah

[subtle nova]

does it apply to monitors or TVs too?

[kindred shoal]

the resident evil games are a nightmare iwth that shit on a 21:9 lol

[foggy dust]

You're always warmer in a bush than on a bench.

[plain fractal]

@foggy dust Btw which GPU do you have?

[crisp compass]

Noo its unpinned

[torpid warren]

Capcom in general ugh

[foggy dust]

5090

[ebon parcel]

vignette is all over the screen

[dapper lake]

wait no

[crisp compass]

ty

[foggy dust]

renodx-crimsondesert_finalFinal_v3_reallyfinal.addon64

[dapper lake]

thats prev i think

4 is the new one

[foggy dust]

Bruh I just launched

[kindred shoal]

with the new build?

[shut badge]

is this the fixed version of the latest one o

[foggy dust]

Is that the new one fixed or previous one?

[stray grove]

@faint bobcat im confused now is that the one from earlier 😂

[faint bobcat]

clang build

of the new one

[foggy dust]

ah new one

[faint bobcat]

if this CTDs then

[manic valve]

Is this AI slop vibe coded one?

[true dagger]

it does

[dapper lake]

rip ye it does

[crisp compass]

we blame pearl

[faint bobcat]

can I get logs then

[manic valve]

Nvidia driver engineers are now writing RenoDX releases

[dapper lake]

yessir where

[faint bobcat]

inb4 if you have devkit it doesnt CTD

[foggy dust]

Mine launched

[true dagger]

@faint bobcat

its Reshade.log lmao

ignore the name

[dapper lake]

9000 series 20% performance shebacle part 2

[dapper lake]

for god sake obvs i was thinking of game logs like a twat

[mortal wolf]

i was going to take a picture of my room for you guys to see... but it's literally just black

[faint bobcat]

I've been modding this game at 30FPS locked in the devkit

[vivid iris]

It is after tonemap 🤔

[faint bobcat]

60FPS is now smooth

[mortal wolf]

i fixed it

in repo

[foggy dust]

Build at bottom

No ctd

[plain fractal]

Sounds like black crush, you should fix that

[subtle nova]

ye, it doesn't run

[dapper lake]

do anything other than just slap it in?

[glad vessel]

But we QD Oled nerds have panel dimming, at least at 1000nits 😠

[subtle nova]

where is log for reshade stored? i'll share

[foggy dust]

I use RHI so I just open it and say I want to install it

[low crane]

Crashing on start. AMD card if that matters

[mortal wolf]

i have to find a sticker for my xbox controller to cover up the horribly bright logo light

[stray grove]

@low crane na im on nvidia and crashed too

[foggy dust]

Yeah my Samsung TV has that. It will randomly dim while in HDR and slowly ramp up again. It's so annoying I'm never buying Samsung again.

[hoary vector]

first run ctd, second run launches, at compiling shaders

[faint bobcat]

ofc

AyyyMD

[mortal wolf]

the xbox controller is the brightest thing in my room right now

[ember tulip]

yea CTD for me to on amd 9070xt

[manic valve]

Game crashes with no error message

[faint bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/mexican-laugh-laugh-laughing-laughing-hysterically-laughing-crying-gif-14871471

[ember tulip]

first build ive crashed with lol

[rotund raptor]

Yep, crashes after splash screen

[foggy dust]

Just launch again so it does shader compil again

[kindred shoal]

I am CTD as well, 5090 but i have an amd cpu

[faint bobcat]

Me zip bombing all AyyyMD builds

[lilac urchin]

same here

[mortal wolf]

i had crash after splash screen, and tried again, no crash

[manic valve]

I'm on 5090

[mortal wolf]

i think i know what it is

[foggy dust]

Don't worry, no one with a 5090 has an intel cpu

[ember tulip]

zip bombing all AMD how could forge do this

[mortal wolf]

the slop is sloppening (i told it what to do)

[kindred shoal]

tru

[ionic parcel]

haha same struggle at night

[subtle nova]

also 9800x3d + 5090 here

[manic valve]

Duct tape

Nanomachines, son

[rotund raptor]

doesnt work for me, still crashes

[stray grove]

@kindred shoal dont think it has to do with amd i got intel and nvidia and ctd 3x in a row

[hoary vector]

shortfuse adding us to his botnet

[shut badge]

feeling pretty small with my 4080s 👉 👈

[foggy dust]

Looks good. Do you recommend default settings + AE @faint bobcat ?

[manic valve]

If you have an Asrock mobo with 9800 X3D + 5090, you have the ultimate CPU/GPU Russian Roulette

[faint bobcat]

Right I think theres some shader thats loading from some but not others

[mortal wolf]

used to use one of these

[hoary vector]

me 🙂

[subtle nova]

i have asus mobo

[manic valve]

4080 S is a monstrous card, trust.

[foggy dust]

Yeah for the 9800x3d Gigabyte seems to be the only choice. Thankfully both my setups have that.

[faint bobcat]

My recommendation is all the sliders via Recommended toggle if you have RR

[foggy cove]

Rank will not shill his installer so i will for him. Helps download HDR mods a whole lot easier I can't suggest it enough. Comes with awesome optional FPS limiter for games too.

https://github.com/RankFTW/RenoDXChecker/releases/tag/RDXC

[ember tulip]

@faint bobcat if it helps

[violet cobalt]

crashed I'm on a 4080 S btw

[manic valve]

I use MSI because it came with my Microcenter bundle

[faint bobcat]

bruh if its SSDM I will piss myself

[glad vessel]

panel dimming is not random, it happens when there is a big white scene. If you use the same panel with f.e. in the 400 nits mode, panel dimming is gone. Highly unfortuante but I just kept mine at 1000nits and deal with it. Usually you would use 400 nits for brighter scenes and 1000 for dark horror games, but I dont want to switch back and forth

[foggy dust]

Goat. Ty. Sorry for being yet another person to tag you (and doing it again here)

[low crane]

oh so nvaidia has the crash problem too. Not only ayyamd.

[dapper lake]

huh, worked after using the installer for me too

[quasi flicker]

yea crashing here as well

[viscid wedge]

was doing this earlier this week, it kept throwing in an old build. avoiding it for now

[dapper lake]

but not manually lol

[stray grove]

crash galoree

[foggy dust]

My TV is a 77" Q90R. No idea how to set nits. It's just used with an Nvidia Shield.

[stone comet]

holyyy thats a massive release

[manic valve]

Yeah it's massively crashing

[glad vessel]

Oh I see, maybe its different then from TVs to monitors

[viscid wedge]

i'm going to wait here until this all settles down and we know it works

[stray grove]

@stone comet massivly crashing release 🫡

[crisp compass]

@dapper lake sadly did not work, had the ingame res set to 2843x whatever, but still had black bar. thanks for the idea tho 🙏

[foggy dust]

Uhh, my sword is holy now?

[shut badge]

decided to wipe out the bin64 and 0011 folder when I crashed wit le broken addon, should I still download the let there be more lights mod with current version fixed?

[foggy dust]

[stone comet]

happens

[mortal wolf]

i lie. i don't know why it crashes. we don't have resource upgrades here

[low crane]

damn anyone got the precious build? Its not pinned

Whats up with the update?

[faint bobcat]

Desertering Crimsoning: Actually working non zip bomb build

• Fixed stuff
• Added stuff
• Fixed stuff for the added stuff
• Includes new Auto Exposure V3
• Non RR plebs can enjoy local light sources having hue correction now
• Alt bloom to fix shimmering/flickering due to base game temporal jitter + BLOOOMiness slider + made to work with Alt Auto Exposure
• Modified contact screenspace shadows with edge fade, micro details
• Grass/foliage stuff (WIP) probably still space for improvement
• Combined all the previous BRDF, specular AA, diffraction and so on into one "Material section"
• Can't remember the rest
• Added SSDM on/off toggle (Screenspace Displacement Mapping) Removed becasue this game is a meme and hates you lot

Clear shader cache

Bricks AyyyMD users atm, use previous build here until we fix

#1469072401450012774 message

• Caused by grass/foliage shaders decomp it seems

Newest patch 1.1 changed some shaders and renderpass setup. HDR, grading and post process settings work. Everything else needs to be updated

The following is broken or non functioning

• contact shadow improvements
• grass/foliage improvements
• The whole materials toggle
• hue correction for local light sources (only the flame sprite changes colour)

[stray grove]

@daring orbit ADDED STUFF

[subtle nova]

i wish there was a mod that removes flashbang during loading

[daring orbit]

Hellyea

[manic valve]

Psycho14 is gone?

It looks way better

I miss it already

[true dagger]

i wish there was one for a dark map instead of white one

[ember tulip]

PA said displacement mapping is a core feature no touch 😠

[hoary vector]

alt bloom makes the fast travel poitns real wonky

[subtle nova]

lmao it didn't load into game

crashed during load

[plain fractal]

Should dynamic contrast still be at 60-80 when using the new auto exposure?

[true dagger]

thats your pc bud, im in

[faint bobcat]

This doesnt have any shortfuse related code

or Psycho 14

[kindred shoal]

i reloaded shaders the old way

[dapper lake]

i cant unsee the off centre title screen i hate it

[kindred shoal]

by installing new drivers

[foggy dust]

Ehh my reshade just not loading and stuck on compiling shaders. Bah humbug.

[ember tulip]

dang psycho14 looked so nice

[stray grove]

Grass foliage improvement ??

what have i missed

[blazing ridge]

crash on loading map...

[manic valve]

Psycho14 is really nice

[kindred shoal]

one day their renodx powers will combine like voltron

[manic valve]

The progress day by day is so good

[crude thunder]

yo any Vignette haters here? how do i remove this darkness 😭

[faint bobcat]

you dont

[manic valve]

You have to go to VignetteDX for that

[faint bobcat]

not until we add

[shut badge]

fuck dont max out dynamism

[mortal wolf]

rt hues i think, discord is my image comparison tool

[lucid thorn]

Gotta pay the forge tax

[ember tulip]

Hard crashed on load in had to restart pc

[stray grove]

IM IN

[slow pecan]

where is the main download for the reshade all im seeing are the addons on here?

[foggy dust]

Your gpu dying. I see lots of artifacts

||(this a joke)||

[low crane]

same. wtf

[viscid wedge]

something is wrong. game menus are very washed out, as is the Reshade overlay. I reset to defaults but.. yeah i dunno man.

[jade magnet]

to get the update I just need to download and replace in the game folder? or install with reshade again ?

[violet cobalt]

thats evil man

[subtle nova]

I'm in after crash on load

i fixed it by clearing cache during intro

[covert ruin]

do we still need lazors lettherebemorelight?

[manic valve]

Always

[stone comet]

New bloom hates certain effects

[foggy dust]

If using AE

[subtle nova]

this and this

[foggy dust]

Yo gimme anamorphic

[low crane]

Yeah the new one hard locks my pc on load. Reboot of pc required.

[foggy dust]

"Buy new pc" -Jensen

[subtle nova]

clear cache before you load any save

[foggy dust]

Or whatever leatherman's name is

[jade magnet]

@subtle nova how do I clear cache?

[mortal wolf]

@faint bobcat technically flame color is blackbody (kelvin) color based on brightness, but i haven't really dug into the code

[subtle nova]

screenshots above

[stone comet]

new bloom REALLY hates these effects LOL

[mortal wolf]

bloom is sdr copium

[foggy dust]

My sword too

[faint bobcat]

Never been to any area outside of starting town so

[foggy dust]

It doesn't have a bloom from what I can remember. Weird.

[faint bobcat]

[stone comet]

LOL fair

just giving you info

[kindred shoal]

the grass and foliage fix

[stone comet]

it looked nice though otherwise

[hoary vector]

alt bloom on the waypoint with default 100% bloom strength vs normal

[plain fractal]

Will we get it back in a future build? Or is it not recommended anymore?

[kindred shoal]

can just leave vanilla bloom on right?

[plain fractal]

Btw the new build looks awesome

[faint bobcat]

yes and suffer shimmering

dogshit game

need to rebuild everything

[stray grove]

holy that grass improvement does look nice

[kindred shoal]

this grass fix is crazy

[foggy dust]

What's the grass fix?

[viscid wedge]

Damn, i'm now lost. ReShade and the game look horribly washed out now but if I take a screenshot, it looks like whats expected. I shouldn't have touched it!

[kindred shoal]

its near the bottom

[stray grove]

that new build is pretty peak immo

[kindred shoal]

of the new build

[deep iris]

where do i download it?i am new to discord sry

[foggy dust]

oh sick

[ember tulip]

Still crashing after clearing cache

[blazing ridge]

Omg, are you guys actually getting the newest build to run? lol, I've cleared my ReShade cache and it still crashes on me

[craggy violet]

Pinned messages icon at the top

[deep iris]

thanks i see it

[dapper lake]

damn. So strange it fixes it for me lmao

[foggy dust]

???

[crude marsh]

speaking of things being misaligned, anyone else get triggered by kliff favoring the left side of the camera when on a horse and hearing him talk/horse noises primarily from the left

[dapper lake]

Did you do it?

[foggy dust]

I blame forge

[covert ruin]

yeah new build works for me on 5080

[foggy dust]

[faint bobcat]

yh, I noticed this. If you use alt auto exposure which isnt as boosted during the night, the original hues arent as blownout

[plain fractal]

Yes

[stray grove]

i still have the fricking starting shield ahaha

[low crane]

Still hard locks pc after cache clear

[foggy dust]

clear nvidia cache

[crude marsh]

does anyone having a problem have RR off

[low crane]

Im on amd

[foggy dust]

At least mine didn't crash after the the game itself recompiled shaders

ayyymd

[faint bobcat]

inb4 my non RR hue correction is zip bombing users

[crude marsh]

maybe you are just bombing AMD users

[faint bobcat]

Shortfuse decomp be like

[crude marsh]

dude I have uploaded so many mods that only crash for AMD

[subtle nova]

im amd user, i use amd cpu

[mortal wolf]

@faint bobcat vrs_native_ptr_resolved should be atomic bool/flag

[blazing ridge]

old version for amd users (and me)

[mortal wolf]

well, even more than that really

[faint bobcat]

oh yh, I removed VRS but then some shaders like foliage where bricked

I think its becasue of decomp

[stone comet]

its actually crazy what a huge change the shadow additions are

[faint bobcat]

so I added it back

[mortal wolf]

basically ```cpp
if (vrs_native_ptr_resolved) return;

auto* native_cmd_list = reinterpret_cast<ID3D12GraphicsCommandList*>(cmd_list->get_native());
if (native_cmd_list == nullptr) return;

ID3D12GraphicsCommandList5* cmd_list5 = nullptr;
HRESULT hr = native_cmd_list->QueryInterface(__uuidof(ID3D12GraphicsCommandList5), reinterpret_cast<void**>(&cmd_list5));
if (FAILED(hr) || cmd_list5 == nullptr) return;

void** vtable = reinterpret_cast<void**>(cmd_list5);
native_rs_set_shading_rate = reinterpret_cast<PFN_RSSetShadingRate>(vtable[77]);
vrs_native_ptr_resolved = true;

this can run on two cmdlist at the same time

[dense raft]

Should I still use lettherebemorelight with your renodx Forge?

[daring orbit]

Looks great 👍

[crude marsh]

I think at the end of the day if interiors and nights are still darkened you need more light

[mortal wolf]

could be the loading crash if it's setting up vrs

[faint bobcat]

I will check

[flint moss]

foliage improvements are massive 👍

[faint bobcat]

maybe when I removed and readded it borked it

[low crane]

so now only amd users crash? Damn please dont make reno nvaidia exclusive

[mortal wolf]

disable_vrs, while "floating" is only modified on_present, so rare it'll get be read while the user is changing that value (and if it does crash on changing the value, we know it's that)

[blazing ridge]

Please drop a pin for the last working release for AMD GPUs... I cleared my ReShade and driver cache and it just keeps crashing on load...

[lucid thorn]

so wait are there any crashes?

oh I see

lemme try on my end snake

[low crane]

from 106 fps to 60?

[mossy gust]

looks great, foliage has so much more depth

[kindred shoal]

the real power of the grass fix is when you are moving past a bunch of grass

[foggy dust]

Probably momentary drop as he screenshotted

[modest hatch]

Does HDR look good on consoles tho? Might check it out on the ps5 pro

[viscid wedge]

Damn, a flawless week of RenoDX and now disaster. I am sad.

[stray grove]

@low crane i hit my fps lock button lol

[low crane]

Whats the actual hit?

[dense raft]

stupid question but how do you clear shader cache?

[stray grove]

@low crane no hit

[low crane]

noice

[blazing ridge]

yes... boths

and fsr enable or disable, same crash

[stray grove]

@low crane yea just double checked no hit at all 111fps before 111 after

[quasi flicker]

wow shadows on grass actually makes grasslands pop

pretty cool

[mortal wolf]

@faint bobcat also

auto* native_cmd_list = reinterpret_cast<ID3D12GraphicsCommandList*>(cmd_list->get_native());

you presume it's dx12. all nonsense may hit this, including dx11 overlays and whatever

[jade magnet]

this looks INSANE

[lucid thorn]

where are the games shaders stored?

[mortal wolf]

if (cmd_list->get_device()->get_api() != reshade::api::device_api::d3d12) return;

[subtle nova]

yeah, something wrong with the bloom this version

[jade magnet]

some minor bloom issues around the character but overal. Holy crap, never seen such beautiful graphics in a game

[faint bobcat]

working on AMD fix

[lone inlet]

Alt-bloom really hates a lot of effects. Even the smoke from fires lmao

[potent spear]

"%localappdata%\NVIDIA"

[low crane]

You da man

[lucid thorn]

wait should I not run it on amd? aha

[faint bobcat]

Theres some issue exlcusive to AyyyMD

[ember tulip]

you think you'll be able to redo the SSDM with an amd fix/

[faint bobcat]

deboooging it

[severe reef]

you can try but from what people have said it might not let you

[lucid thorn]

im on AMD, anything I can do to help?

[potent spear]

amd gpus to be specific

[normal abyss]

i have never seen them focus so hard lol it really is

[sly vigil]

any mods to hide helmets yet?

[low crane]

amd gpus seem to crash at the end of the loading screen just when about to enter game

[grim elk]

alt bloom in action

[lilac urchin]

draw distance looks so much better with this grass mod shit

[potent spear]

pretty

[sly vigil]

which mod?

[lucid thorn]

alright well I'll hold off for now, someone let me know when I'm needed for testing :p

[lilac urchin]

the new one just pinned

[sly vigil]

ah ta

[ember tulip]

theres this https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/166

[sly vigil]

that doesnt include helmets afaik

[subtle nova]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/237

[viscid wedge]

Game works fine in the pause menu, but as soon as I exit the paused menu, the screen just goes black. Not a monitor issue obviously just have to hit pause again for the screen to come back and the reshade menu you works the whole time.

[subtle nova]

this one does

[leaden isle]

yo thoughts on runnin the game in geforce now ultimate on a 500mbps ethernet connection?

cuz i got a laptop 3060 and shi not gud

[plain fractal]

Vanilla vs new alt bloom. The one flickering was actually the alt bloom in this scene

[true dagger]

i dont have any issues on the current version, only that the bloom looks slightly off but i everything else is great

[sly vigil]

where is the shader cache for this game btw

[leaden isle]

nvidia directx shadercache

windows R %LocalAppData%\NVIDIA\DXCache

[grim elk]

yeah, the bloom goes crazy with some of the effects, have to leave it off for now

[dapper lake]

ive noticed flickering more with alt bloom too

[sly vigil]

ta

[dapper lake]

Looks good otherwise - reminds me of convolution bloom from the immerse pack

[heady blade]

I have a question. Should I turn on both of the Windows hdr games hdr or just one?

[grim elk]

windows hdr is dogshit, never on

[foggy dust]

Can't enable HDR without it being on in windows as well. But do not enable auto hdr

[grim elk]

if you mean the auto hdr of course

[true dagger]

have it on in windows, auto hdr off, ingame hdr on

[grim elk]

but oither than that have to have hdr on in windows to get hdr ingame

[lucid thorn]

Light fix is still required for the new reno version yeah?

[grim elk]

yes

[lucid thorn]

just making notes

[plain fractal]

Nights look pretty good with the new auto exposure

[leaden isle]

rate the rtx 3060 6gb struggle setup:

• everything minimum except water quality on cinematic xD
• no dlss
• 1440p

[heady blade]

Aha I understand then I turn on window hdr and in-game hdr and then I turn off window hdr, right?

[subtle nova]

id like to request even faster Auto exposure, 100 isn't fast enough and i want it to be seamless (nearly instant) similar to how it works in RDR2

[sinful ravine]

use dlss ultra performance

[foggy dust]

Press tab and you can type in a number yourself

[true dagger]

i have my windows hdr always on, but if you dont like how it looks, turn it off while not playing games

[subtle nova]

thank you

[grim elk]

hdr in windows - on -> calibrate with windows hdr calibration -> turn the game on -> turn games hdr on -> play the game

[foggy dust]

You can use about 180 in the film grain if you want a bit of that as well (no slider for grain size and grain sharpness atm)

[subtle nova]

i dont think grain is neccessary but ill try

[leaden isle]

looks worse than minimum without dlss xD

[subtle nova]

nah, it adds shimmer to grass

[stray grove]

@leaden isle stick to your laptop monitor your criplling yourself tryna play at 1440p

[subtle nova]

due to it constantly moving

[heady blade]

Oh, you're telling me to turn them both on? I understand now

[grim elk]

you will not be able to turn on the hdr in game if you didnt have hdr turned on in windows

[sly vigil]

should i delete the entire DXcache folder to clear cache

[sinful ravine]

having HDR on windows uses srgb piecewise when converting SDR content, afaik, but most content is designed for gamma 2.2/2.4

[sly vigil]

unless someone can tell me the file for CD

[stray grove]

@sly vigil you should not have to new renodx build will force shader recompile

[sly vigil]

yeah i thought it does tbh

[heady blade]

Thank you for your answer, friend

[sly vigil]

ty

[faint bobcat]

AyyyMD users pls test

[sinful ravine]

i usually keep HDR disabled in windows then enable with win + alt + b before I launch a game with hdr

[grim elk]

win + alt + b is an hdr toggle if you dislike having hdr always on

[foggy dust]

https://klipy.com/gifs/mando-way-this-is-the-way

[crude marsh]

lol was it really an AMD only crash

[grim elk]

same, though it started to piss me off ojnce i finally decided on using a 2nd monitor where i dont want hdr on

[sinful ravine]

amd moment

[uncut lynx]

the toggle turns on hdr on my second monitor aswell and thats not a good one sadly😭

[golden scaffold]

How do we clear shader cache?

[subtle nova]

you can separately choose which monitor you want it enabled

[ember tulip]

Still hard locks

[grim elk]

manually in settings, shortcut toggle toggles all monitors

[lucid thorn]

anything specific or just load game

[foggy dust]

Loving the latest version. I'm fighting a war, at night, and I can't see shit. Already fell into some water twice. Love it. Wish they'd add another ray bounce or something.

[faint bobcat]

Couldn't think of another name

[crude marsh]

I love it

[lucid thorn]

damn your device is hung

[ember tulip]

thicc

[blazing ridge]

same crash, both caches is cleaned

[lucid thorn]

when does it crash

[ember tulip]

just before i load into the world

[lucid thorn]

alright im 2 seconds away

[blazing ridge]

just before i load into the world

[foggy dust]

It sure is bloomy in here (might be spoilerish)

Shit you can even notice through the spoiler blur

[low crane]

Still crashing, amd.

[lucid thorn]

I crash right after I load in 😄

[blazing ridge]

However, sometimes Kliff walks a few meters, other times he just crashes.

[lucid thorn]

but that also crashed my driver 😂

[low crane]

It hard locks my pc. Its wild.

Damn, the streamer? The composer (old) or The composer (new)?

[blazing ridge]

The driver isn't crashing. If there was a timeout, my OC profile would revert to default. The actual PC is crashing and restarting immediately... running a 9800X3D/ 9070XT and MPO OFF

[gleaming rivet]

game changer ty

[lucid thorn]

Sorry, for me specifically my driver crashed

[foggy dust]

I wanted to make the same joke, but v != w so thought f it.

Okay

this is my fave fight

Wtf

I should've manual saved

[stray grove]

the foliage fix make distant shadow flicker massively

https://medal.tv/games/crimson-desert/clips/moNDsgr2AQRfJ3V3B?invite=cr-MSxiZFQsNTQ1MzQzNDc3

has soon as i turn it off its gone

[dire pilot]

I loaded in and thought "oh no, the image looks like shit" and then realized it was raining lol

[quasi flicker]

im seeing the same

[jade magnet]

grass fix is cool but its extremely shimmery on dlss

[stray grove]

@jade magnet im on quality it aint to bad immo its just the shadow flickering introduced by it

[viscid wedge]

DDU time, I guess. Great 6 hours of Reno fun earlier today but this new build has left me dumbfounded. 4090 too, so not AMD.
#1469072401450012774 message

[pure sundial]

An hour late to the party is everyone still CTD'ing with new reno?

[true dagger]

a few users are but mine works fine

[lucid thorn]

only amd folks, I think

[pure sundial]

ayymd, I see what you're doing forge

[covert ruin]

grass looks way better now with this update

[viscid wedge]

AMD users. I'm the only Nvidia user with an issue but its not the same issue at all

[jade magnet]

yea quality is the least shimmery, im also on quality but its reeeeally annoying. gonna disable for now 😭

[stray grove]

@jade magnet check my clip above to it introduce a lot of shadow flickering at distance

[jade magnet]

yeah

[kindred shoal]

if I could sidetrack the tech talk for a second

Yann is the fkn worst

that is all

[foggy dust]

And ||Ludvig|| is the best boss thus far.

[kindred shoal]

do thay have AA in Pywellfor fucks sake

get this man to a meeting

[lucid thorn]

he just likes to drink

[pure sundial]

Yann was funny at first but he's so fucking annoying lmao

[dense raft]

impressive work Forge the game looks 10x better but ofc it's a wip overall just disabled the alt bloom and I also kinda prefer the vanilla lens flare on the sun but that's just my subj pref

[lucid thorn]

Look yann lost a lot in the opening hour to the game, he gets some freebies

[foggy dust]

For a second I thought you meant anti air

[covert ruin]

are you using RR?

[shadow glade]

fucking windows

[faint bobcat]

TY

Crash doesnt seem to be VRS related, previous commits had the code and no issues.

Probably shader side

maybe decomp

or something else

I will just remove shaders one by one

[lucid thorn]

Can I provide anything to look? Or got any areas for me to dig? :p

[faint bobcat]

let me enable debug mode

in the addon

[lucid thorn]

I like code

[pure sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-smoking-fire-burning-lag-gif-19373925

Compiling shaders

[jade magnet]

yep

[shadow glade]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/280

can i use this with renodx?

[pure sundial]

You can I use it and a few others do as well

[steel wolf]

This is the what Vibeshine said about QP: Some devices may not support Constant Bit Rate. For those devices, QP is used instead. Higher value means more compression, but less quality.

Asked an LLM and this was its response about QP: For most game streaming setups using Sunshine and Moonlight, you should not adjust the global Quantization Parameter (QP) because it is completely ignored by almost all modern clients. Instead of relying on a static parameter, modern setups dynamically adjust compression on the fly to match the target bitrate you select in the client application.

What is the Quantization Parameter (QP)?
The Quantization Parameter dictates how aggressively video frames are compressed by the encoder. The scale typically ranges from 0 (mathematically lossless) to 51 (lowest quality). A lower QP value means less compression, which results in better image quality but requires significantly more network bandwidth.

Didn't see a difference personally so doubt my clinet is affected

i already had chatgpt check my code and it said the vrs is flaky (which, granted, it was)

[stray grove]

@shadow glade use the no hud fix toggler it has the noise fix and many more option included

[shadow glade]

can u send link boss

[stray grove]

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

@shadow glade

this include all of them

[dapper lake]

We praise the lord for RenoDX updates

[shadow glade]

this removes effect straight up?

or noise

[dapper lake]

you can do both

[covert ruin]

alternative bloom looks messed up

[subtle nova]

it removes noise effect but there is separate ShaderToggler mod, no need to install that one

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/280

[kindred shoal]

what are your settings? default?

[hazy geode]

Hmm? Was this crashing for some people? I'm on a 9800X3D and it's working great!

[pure sundial]

DLSS balanced looked fine to me yesterday now it's so fucking blurry

why is the DLSS implementation so ass man

[faint bobcat]

AyyyMD users, so the addon is straight up bricking or?

is the game just CTDing?

[low crane]

hard crash the pc.

[hazy geode]

Nope

[lucid thorn]

Ctd and my gpu driver crashed

[foggy dust]

Swap to DLAA and then back to balance again

[faint bobcat]

fucking hell

Time to pull out the Wall message

[hazy geode]

It's working perfectly fine for me

[faint bobcat]

taps sign

[dapper lake]

so fuck amd ig?

[faint bobcat]

I dont want to brick people's PC, I need to think about this

[shadow glade]

i installed bunch of mods time to launch game via steam

[low crane]

so amd users are fucked from now on? RenoDX is now NvAIdia exclusive? I never thought this day would come. Damn

[faint bobcat]

truly

[shadow glade]

amd mid

[faint bobcat]

paid off by Jensen

[mortal wolf]

you can try to enable pause on exception with debugger hooked, but in my experience didn't amount to much

[shadow glade]

skill issue by amd

xd

outpayy

[dapper lake]

didnt take one off at the same angle but this is with reno switched over to off lmao

different game tbh

[quasi bear]

is using hdr recommended?

[subtle nova]

amd users are fcked the moment they order an amd instead of graphics card

[pure sundial]

Cheers i'll give this a try

[grim elk]

you're on renodx discord friend, we probably wouldnt be here otherwise

[foggy dust]

wdym? SDR on TN panel

[pure sundial]

Yea it worked cheers man

[foggy dust]

[pure sundial]

what monitor do you have

[dapper lake]

bro my first TN panel i was happy with bc i had a £90 60hz benq before, then i got a new monitor and realised how god awfully piss yellow or orange everything was

[hazy geode]

Sorry. I'm dense. Issues with AMD GPU. I'm on NVIDIA

[pure sundial]

SDR might be better if the HDR is terrible

[vale scarab]

can you tell me how remove shaders for the new update ?

[faint bobcat]

yes, looking into it

[quasi bear]

let me check i forgot

[lucid thorn]

Nah you good

[grim elk]

true, but then usually if hdr is lacking reno is the answer

unless poor hdr monitor performance, then by all means sdr

[quasi bear]

AOC 24G15N

[pure sundial]

Reno is mainly to fix the game's implementation no? If you monitor has dogshit HDR it won't be worth it regardless

[blazing ridge]

It's not a driver crash, just the game itself crashing. The log throws a "lost connection to the DX device" error... I looked at the Windows Event Viewer and there is zero crash history... but this all triggers right as the world is being loaded in (ignore UI on pt-br)

[pure sundial]

Supposedly the HDR is not that great on your monitor @quasi bear But doesn't hurt to give it a try anyway and see how you feel

[quasi bear]

ill try it rn

[dapper lake]

honestly if the HDR on your monitor is shit but it looks better to you then might as well anyway

[pure sundial]

yeah it's personal preference at the end of the day you're the one looking at it

[mortal wolf]

@faint bobcat ```cpp
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
reshade::unregister_eventreshade::addon_event::init_swapchain(OnInitSwapchain);
reshade::unregister_eventreshade::addon_event::draw(OnVRSDraw);
reshade::unregister_eventreshade::addon_event::draw_indexed(OnVRSDrawIndexed);

  break;

}

renodx::utils::random::Use(fdw_reason);

if (fdw_reason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) {
reshade::unregister_addon(h_module);
}

return TRUE;

move unregister to last action though not entirely sure it matters.

[mortal wolf]

"lost connection and won't respond to commands" is on successful launch as well

[lucid thorn]

these are the reshade.log logs?

God I hate that raytracing is only like 5m in front of you.

[mortal wolf]

17 seconds apart is an eternity in gpu terms, but 🙏

[foggy dust]

So ugly

[golden scaffold]

Am I just visually impaired that I cannot see grass AO and material improvements? I have RR on

[blazing ridge]

you are using DC?

[lucid thorn]

I don't think it'll help whatsoever but do you need anything from my reshade log :p

[vale scarab]

We needclear shader cache for crimson only or all in %LocalAppData%\NVIDIA\DXCache ?

[lucid thorn]

I don't know what you mean by dc

[stray grove]

@golden scaffold

[golden scaffold]

Oh nvm I can see it working in the distance! Not up close tho? 🤔

Didn't find any example of material improvements yet tho

[shadow glade]

these aint on yet?

[stray grove]

@golden scaffold it introduce shadow flickering at distance though https://medal.tv/games/crimson-desert/clips/moNDsgr2AQRfJ3V3B?invite=cr-MSxvTXksNTQ1MzQzNDc3&v=13

[blazing ridge]

Alright... I figured it might be an incompatibility, so we can cross that out. Plus, it crashed regardless of FSR being ON or OFF

[mortal wolf]

@vivid iris fired_on_init_swapchain is unused

[dapper lake]

@faint bobcat Not sure if thats a known issue or not (black square shading round horse and other areas)

all settings maxed with RR on

[golden scaffold]

Ah ok. Nothing on my end so far tho

[golden scaffold]

Why do we need to do this?

[stray grove]

@golden scaffold ya i only noticed in the quarry

[heady blade]

I'm the one who asked the hdr question earlier, and I can play it like this, right?

[hollow kiln]

"Non RR plebs can enjoy local light sources having hue correction now"

I resemble that.

[true dagger]

yes

[ionic parcel]

just a script which deletes shader cache for nvidia, amd, haven't checked if intel's paths are up to date

[foggy dust]

I don't have that, fortunately. Shadows are clean and stable.

[hollow pollen]

On nvidia i need to clear shader cache for the new update or nah?

[heady blade]

Okay, thank you

[faint bobcat]

what is this comparing?

shadow toggle on/off?

[stray grove]

@foggy dust i only noticed in quarry so far

[dapper lake]

Grass foliage improvements on and off my bad on the second one not having it up

[foggy dust]

Oh I got some on some huts

[faint bobcat]

oh yh, can we share saves?

that would be eaiser for me

[foggy dust]

Seems RR is struggling to denoise

[faint bobcat]

I think

because at this rate I am never leaving the starting town

I need to be able to jump and load in

and check multiple areas

[stray grove]

@foggy dust ye something like that

[dapper lake]

there my bad lmao

[foggy dust]

exposure 0x84 is crazy

[covert ruin]

yeah there should be some saves on nexus

[foggy dust]

You playing on some insane TV?

[quasi bear]

what is ReLimiter?

[stray grove]

@faint bobcat not sure if you saw this shadow flicker with folliage improvement on https://medal.tv/games/crimson-desert/clips/moNDsgr2AQRfJ3V3B?invite=cr-MSxvTXksNTQ1MzQzNDc3&v=13

[dapper lake]

Lmao nah what you got yours set at?

im playing on one of the dodgy MSI oleds lmao

[foggy dust]

1.25 otherwise midtones are disgustingly flat and lifeless

[faint bobcat]

AyyMD users, remove shaders lets see what happens

[dapper lake]

i had lowered it when tweaking stuff earlier but ill try up again

[pure sundial]

What do you recommend having dynamism set to?

[foggy dust]

testing for myself

[dapper lake]

.84 vs 1.25

[lucid thorn]

launching game

[pure sundial]

I have the same issue

[dapper lake]

honestly

probably not a good scene to compare for that

[foggy dust]

Well it's all about how it looks on your monitor. I've also upped saturation as well.

Haha nah

[pure sundial]

I don't know if foliage improvement is causing that flicker, I have turned it off and on and no difference

[dapper lake]

sat at 59 myself but always weary of going to high

[lucid thorn]

I dunno if this is related but I swear the game would recompile shaders each new reno version but it's not anymore, was it the no more light that was triggering it or something else

[dapper lake]

i started getting it again and preset E fixes it - never did before for me

[ember tulip]

yea i noticed that to

[lucid thorn]

No immediate crash

[pure sundial]

I'm already playing with preset E

[dapper lake]

I was getting this if i didnt verify cache on first few builds

[blazing ridge]

work

[dapper lake]

dang

[pure sundial]

It's minor I've only noticed it on this 1 section in the abyss so far

[pure sundial]

weird mine recompiled

[jade magnet]

Guys, QQ - what is the best DLSS preset to use ? playing in 2k quality, rtx 5080

[faint bobcat]

so its either Emissive shaders that are being griefted

or

grass

[pure sundial]

Quality should be fine for you if you are happy with your FPS

[jade magnet]

I mean preset (K, L, M etc)

[faint bobcat]

@mortal wolf its either one

https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx/tree/crimsondesert/src/games/crimsondesert/grass-foliage

https://github.com/OopyDoopy/renodx/tree/crimsondesert/src/games/crimsondesert/emissive

[pure sundial]

Well if you are using RR it will be preset K regardless of if you set it to L or M in game

[restive roost]

if youre using rr it doesnt matter

[pure sundial]

If you are not using RR use M

[jade magnet]

ah, ok

[vale scarab]

perf is nice on this game with RR and full max settings , play 4k with 5080

[restive roost]

RR uses its own preset , D by default

[pure sundial]

oh yeah my bad

RR is separate

[vale scarab]

Yep

[jade magnet]

I play on 2k monitor. dont care about 4k

[dapper lake]

tbh i have NO CLUE what im doing and just slap it to whatever looks right without super obvious clipping/ colour changing

[pure sundial]

Alt tabbed to turn on my instant replay to record something and my character fucking rolled off a ledge and died

[faint bobcat]

AMDmemers test this

grass shaders added back

[jade magnet]

I dont wanna dive into 4k gaming - I would need to get 5090 and thats mental

[subtle nova]

if only 5090 was sufficient for 4k gaming

[lucid thorn]

launching game

[blazing ridge]

other member pls!

[low crane]

on it

[jade kettle]

new patch seems impressive, a bit to dark maybe though?

[pure sundial]

I was considering a 4k monitor with my 5070 ti but I like being able to get higher fps with path tracing, dont wanna have to compromise on graphic settings with any games I play

[lucid thorn]

How do I do that

[soft timber]

What kind of grass and foliage stuff is this new version doing?

[manic finch]

damn the grass/foilage improvement is amazing

[jade magnet]

same. Im totally fine with 2k

[soft timber]

Less pop-in?

[mortal wolf]

[jade kettle]

is it supposed to be this dark at night?

[burnt dew]

SSDM is doing the same thing as toggling POM right?

[manic finch]

improved shadow detail

[dapper lake]

via steam > crimson desert properties> installed files

[faint bobcat]

removed it

was causing CTDs

[lucid thorn]

My game launched on latest

[faint bobcat]

so grass shaders work

[lucid thorn]

I... Think?

Well hold on

[faint bobcat]

well RIPPPPPPPPP

[lucid thorn]

I don't know if it does anything

[faint bobcat]

Alt bloom is ded then

[lucid thorn]

Lemme go somewhere else

[dapper lake]

i was on 4k with my 4080super and dropped to 1440p with my 5080 definitely the right choice

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/fry-face-close-up-gif-21997603

[burnt dew]

I was able to test that with the devkit addon installed

[soft timber]

Oh nice. I'm can't wait until pop/poor draw distance in gets fixed eventually. That's probably the biggest visual issue for me with this game.

[pure sundial]

Yeah I'm also on ultrawide so 1440p is already more expensive than 1440p on a 27 inch

[shadow glade]

tf lol

[grim elk]

am on 4k oled, considering to get 1440p oled lol

[pure sundial]

Maybe in a couple GPU generations I'll get a 90 card and upgrade to 4k

[fresh field]

so this line about bricking AMD users, that GPU? cause... 7800X3D cpu here lol

[jade magnet]

just bought 2k oled today 😄

[fresh field]

also is clearing shader cache required? or just recommended?

[pure sundial]

Which one did you get?

[crude marsh]

yeah just AMD gpu being meme as always

[pure sundial]

Oled is amazing I can never go back to an LCD

[dapper lake]

to be fair i went from 4k 240hz IPS or LED icr to 360hz1440p oled (technically 345hz with no dsc)

[fresh field]

oh yes, AMD gpu is pure meme, just like their drivers have been for the past 15 years

[lucid thorn]

The grass thing doesn't do anything on my end

[jade magnet]

samsung odyssey g5 - they are SO CHEAP

[pure sundial]

Ohhh nice

[lucid thorn]

Their drivers aren't that bad

[crude marsh]

needs light to work

[lucid thorn]

Nvidia has been trying to take that crown lately

[pure sundial]

I got myself a G8 on sale saved $1300 NZD on it

[crude marsh]

like, direct light

[shadow glade]

grayed out cutscene with whatver his face is doing lol

[manic valve]

I remember when I got my PS Vita back in 2012. The OLED was so glorious, even with super early gen tech.

[jade magnet]

Yeah but there is no 32 inch 2k oleds...

[lucid thorn]

I looked down at your message then got super fog

[pure sundial]

PS Vita is so nostalgic hahah

[fresh field]

i havent owned a AMD gpu since like 2012, i had one for about 6 months and i couldnt stand the driver instability at the time, sold it for the latest Nvidia equal at the time

[jade magnet]

I need to go from 32 LED to 27 oled

[burnt dew]

The grass thing only works if I'm using RR. Not working if no RR

[pure sundial]

there are 34 inch 1440p oleds

[manic valve]

PS Vita lives on in the Steam Deck 😁

[pure sundial]

like the one I have

[golden scaffold]

I'm still messing with it. 50 seems to be close to game default how aggressively it dims environment when facing away from the sky. 40 default can make it a little too bright for me on a 2000 nit screen sometimes so I'm playing with increasing this value around 45 ish range. Increasing this also makes darkness brighter on the other end which helps too. But the default 40 preserves most detail when youre getting flashbanged, however I'm not as concerned about that I want better dark visibility and some minor daylight dimming (so closer to vanila, somewhere in between)

[lucid thorn]

I've been running amd drivers for like 7 years and haven't had any driver problems

[low crane]

Crash. lol

[stray grove]

@pure sundial weird though in that clip i posted the flickering disapear right when i turn folliage fix off and restart when i turn it on

[manic finch]

Grass/foilage improvement on vs off

[jade magnet]

@pure sundial what... i havent seen one, 34 inch is way to big anyway

[lucid thorn]

I think my rain looks worse? I'm not sure why

[manic finch]

the alt bloom makes this two hander glow a lot lol

[pure sundial]

yeah look up the samsung G85SB that's the one I have

[grim elk]

its ultrawide though, not everybody wants an uw

[pure sundial]

Ah true

[jade magnet]

its 4k

[grim elk]

i certainly dont want to get an uw again

[pure sundial]

Sorry G85SD

[lucid thorn]

Why did my rain change aha

[pure sundial]

yeah the PPI is a bit lower on the 32 inch with 1440p no?

[crude marsh]

I can't go back to non ultrawide, feels so wrong

[pure sundial]

Same

most significant upgrade I've made

[vale scarab]

Question , dark at night is fixed ?

[manic finch]

dude, right? I got my first UW in 2016 and never went back

waiting for a 5k2k with good hdr

[pure sundial]

I went from 27 inch IPS monitors to 21:9 Oled

[manic finch]

to upgrade from my alienware oled

[manic finch]

meant to be a reply to this lol

[grim elk]

i was gettong sick of problems in some games, with pillarboxing and whatnot, got back to 16:9 and not looked back, maybe the situation got better now

[crude marsh]

I just fix the cutscenes/camera myself

[lucid thorn]

Okay rain definitely looks wrong when there's no direct light. Shining my light, the rain looks right. Wonder what happened to it

[true dagger]

yea i could never go back to 16:9 from ultrawide tbh

[manic finch]

yeah if the game doesn't support UW someone fixes it same day

[mortal wolf]

Congratulations! Your comment has been selected as the singular, unparalleled, and mildly bewildering catalyst behind the official introduction of the emoji—a groundbreaking addition to the digital lexicon that perfectly encapsulates that uniquely human blend of skepticism, side-eye, and quiet existential judgment.

After an exhaustive, needlessly prolonged review process conducted by a panel of individuals who absolutely had better things to do, your remark stood out for its exceptional ability to make readers pause, squint slightly, and internally whisper, “...really?” in the exact tone immortalized by that now-iconic expression.

It is not an exaggeration—though we will indulge in one anyway—to state that your contribution has forever altered the trajectory of online communication, providing millions with a concise yet devastatingly effective means of conveying doubt without the burden of typing an actual sentence.

Please take a moment to appreciate the gravity of this achievement. Few comments ascend beyond the scroll. Fewer still transcend into symbolic representation. Yours, against all reasonable odds, has done both.

We thank you for your service to collective disbelief.

[pure sundial]

Most games coming out these days tend to support ultrawide anyway

[manic finch]

yep

[pure sundial]

Just waiting on companies like fromsoft to get their shit together and start taking UW into account

[manic finch]

but some games like re9 still need to fix their fov

god that default fov was horrid for UW

in fps

[pure sundial]

No UW support and locking to 60 in the big 26 is crazy

[manic finch]

luckily the game was modded

[crude marsh]

man has there been a game released that doesn't require mods to be playable

in the past like 2 years

[manic finch]

nope lmfao

[blazing ridge]

CTD...

[grim elk]

okay guys, im gonna trust you and will consider trying uw again

[pure sundial]

Lol nope

[lucid thorn]

Mine works fine I think?

Did I not pull the right version?

[jade magnet]

Im only worried about the size (not what she said) going from 32 LED to 27 OLED. I hope its gonna be fine

[low crane]

It doesent hardlock pc anymore for me, but still doesent respond and CTD

[pure sundial]

The PPI will be better

[lucid thorn]

It definitely didn't hard crash for me, but let me try to re-do shaders

[jade magnet]

@pure sundial yeah but honestly i did not notice lower ppi when I went from 27 led to 32 led

[grim elk]

yeah, its just a bit of an adaptation period. same as going from flat to curved and the other way around

[pure sundial]

Ah that's interesting

[shadow glade]

ninja gaiden 4

plug and playy but u gotta have no skill issue

[jade magnet]

@grim elk yeah counting on that. OLED benefits are superior

[lucid widget]

Question, is RenoDX for Crimson Desert supposed to output HDR swapchain without native HDR enabled, or does it require native HDR to be ON first?

[faint bobcat]

Lisa Su enjoyers test this

(only contains Emissive shaders this time)

[pure sundial]

Not true I had to download a mod to fix the cutscene resolution

[lucid thorn]

sorry, going back to this, I don't have verify cache aha

[sharp blaze]

Driver timeout for me with 7800xt

[pure sundial]

But yeah NG4 was good all around

[summer notch]

ng4 has horrific AO and mega fake lights everywhere

[manic valve]

Not all OLEDs are made equally

[jade magnet]

sure

[shadow glade]

didnt need it myself intresting

[grim elk]

mediocre oled is still better than lcd

[blazing ridge]

yes, with grass shader

the new Bloom effect is so cool on this shield 😄 https://youtu.be/fvboX1_4lV0?si=qC-x5I3xdUDElOP4&t=14

[pure sundial]

Not as good as number 3 unfortunately

[dapper lake]

took like 2 mins for me but was going BRRRR with 1000mb/s read

[manic finch]

theres a 4th? I'm missing out

[summer notch]

playable wasn't meant literally, playable meaning no desire to mod the game i'd guess

[lucid thorn]

oh okay

[manic valve]

I believe if you do this, you'll need to reinstall LetThereBeMoreLight?

[lucid thorn]

testing that latest version

and then I'll try that

[shadow glade]

platinum games gay asf they hide their shit and for some reason no one wants to mod platinum engine games for literally even character mods

[pure sundial]

My only gripe with NG4 is it was too short, but the DLC was pretty peak though

[golden scaffold]

Anyone else wishes we could interact with companions more? I really wanted to give some flowers to damiane but I can't 😔

[vale scarab]

With last version,, ,need instal LetThereBeMoreLight too ?

[pure sundial]

I wish MGRR had more people willing to mod it, game could use some love

[faint bobcat]

radeonlets

[dapper lake]

i think so i always just redo mods like that if i verify anyway

[pure sundial]

maybe I should learn how to mod games lol

[shadow glade]

i be using fatgirl so will wait for xbox to give 50% sale but yes ng4 was short definetlyy but those trials and endgame modes are perfect

[manic valve]

Were Ninja Gaiden games ever long?

[lucid thorn]

this hard crashes on my end

[faint bobcat]

wtf

so they are both cooked

ok

AMD gets no grass

[lucid thorn]

got a different error tho

[pure sundial]

Nah not really but after such a long wait for NG4 you think it would have more meat

[faint bobcat]

no alt bloom

no nothing

[lucid thorn]

hey the grass one loaded for me

I just had no cool grass

[fresh field]

https://tenor.com/view/amd-nvidia-geforce-pc-explode-explosion-gif-23625713

[manic valve]

I thought the meat was in S ranking each stage

[patent bough]

guys let me know when you or devs fix the game.

[blazing ridge]

work

Im tired of NvAidia getting all the exslusives. I will by Intel gpu next. Fuck amd and nvaidia. Wait If i get a intel gpu, i cant play any games what so ever. Fuck it im quitting pc as a whole.

[pure sundial]

I suppose that's true, I'm not a NG veteran I only started playing with NG2 Black remaster lol

[lucid thorn]

HAHA the other one worked but this one doesn't, you have the opposite

[manic valve]

This should say "haha so glad I have an Nvidia card with 12hvpwr and not AMD oh shit what's that smell?"

[pure sundial]

Playing on master ninja is fun

[blazing ridge]

gpu? i'm have 9070xt

[sharp blaze]

Holy crap it works, no crash ! 7800xt with optiscaler as well

[lucid thorn]

im on a 7900xt

[fresh field]

unlike other nvidia mouth breathers, i know how to firmly connect my power connectors

[lucid thorn]

alright verifying integrity one sec

[manic valve]

Ninja Gaiden fanboys are all about playing the game 1000x times and suffering learning how to S rank each stage lol

[faint bobcat]

So its only grass shaders that are cooked

Abysmal

[sturdy monolith]

yo guys is deleting everything in %LOCALAPPDATA%/NVIDIA/DXCache enough to clear shaders? Is that the 'preferred' way?

[lucid thorn]

maybe

[fresh field]

i only acknowledge the first 3 ninja gaiden games, all others dont exist

[faint bobcat]

wish we could just mod assets directly

[manic valve]

Any of these connectors can fail, it's a flawed design.

[faint bobcat]

Nvidiots vs AyyyMDroids

[fresh field]

you can also download DDU and there is an option to delete the cache only

[faint bobcat]

[shut badge]

its not about the S rank

[manic valve]

It's like saying "oh I know how to change the oil on my S54/S65/S85 engine, the rod bearings won't fail"

[shut badge]

ninja gaiden games have shit ranking systems

[sturdy monolith]

oh nice, I recently used it to reinstall gpu drivers. Thanks!

[shut badge]

they do it for the love of the game

[manic valve]

It's all about the S rank. You think a real Ninja would go A rank?

[fresh field]

real ninja would play the NES games like a man

[faint bobcat]

Well thank you all Lisa Su'ers

We now know that grass sahders no likey

[sharp blaze]

Spoke too soon, got a driver timeout walking around

[manic valve]

Real ninja commits seppuku if he plays those too much 😂

[faint bobcat]

That might just be becasue of debug logging

[broken dirge]

u mean sudoku

[golden scaffold]

But why do we have to do it? Game looks fine to me after updating mod?

[true dagger]

i got a triple S on my first playthrough or atleast my fking screenshot says that xD i have no clue about ninja gaiden

[severe reef]

why must the amd overlords curse us this way

i grew up on the NES games so i know the pain all too well

[shut badge]

there are only two ninja gaiden games, ngb and ng2

[lucid thorn]

I'll buy a 5080 if I trip over 2k :p

[fresh field]

just get a 5070 ti IMO

[summer notch]

not gonna lie, NG3:RE has terrible everything but combat, that combat feels damn good though

[blazing ridge]

9070xt work perfect haha

[lucid thorn]

I'll buy a 5070 ti if I trip over 1500

5070 ti isn't that far off from my current GPU

It wouldn't make sense for me 😂

[low crane]

The latest one he posted?

[blazing ridge]

yes

[fresh field]

you can get a 5070 ti right now from Microcenter for 999 lol

[low crane]

I will test. I too have 9070xt

[lucid thorn]

im in canada

[fresh field]

RIP

[lucid thorn]

9070xt is 900 cad, 5070 ti is 1500, 5080 is 2k

[pure sundial]

Your prices are similar to over here in NZ

[foggy dust]

thanks, chatgippity

[sinful ravine]

real af

[fresh field]

oh not bad, an asus 5080 prime is only 1499

[restive roost]

only

[fresh field]

i thought the GPU prices would be much more whack. 5090s are dumb though

[lucid thorn]

When I bought my 7900xt the xtx was 1500 and the 4080 was 1600

[shadow glade]

Ng games only u should care bout combat kol

Lol

[pure sundial]

I can't wait to spend 10k on a 7090

[lucid thorn]

My 7900xt was 1100 at the time

[shadow glade]

Ng4 better than both don't come to me with nostalgia love

[fresh field]

yeah i have a 4080 super so it doesnt make sense for me to really get something newer just yet

[golden scaffold]

How can I get rain back? 🙁

[faint bobcat]

but this was the real smoking gun

[fresh field]

rain it just a construct

[lucid thorn]

which you know, opposite of everybody else

[faint bobcat]

wont exist, it will all be Geforce now sub

[summer notch]

NG:B is just all around amazing (other than story ofc), so I still put that above everything, NG3:RE has the best feeling combat though IMO

[wraith sorrel]

I know this is already a reported issue, but Alt Bloom looks really weird on my end.

[lucid thorn]

but yeah my rain broke unless light was on it, dunno why :p

[pure sundial]

Soo true gonna regress back to my 550 ti with 1 gb vram lets goooo

[fresh field]

oh yeah, i am worried about phsyical consumer GPUs going the way of the dodo

maybe i will buy a 5090 when they arent 4k and ride it into the sunset

[lucid thorn]

nvidia's in another class action over lying rn they 100% will use dlss5 to try and steer people over renting pc components

[pure sundial]

by that point they probably won't even produce them anymore

[blazing ridge]

Back when I got my 9070XT I saved money by not getting a 5070 Ti so I could buy a 2TB WD Gen5 NVMe. Today I could probably sell the NVMe and the GPU, grab an RTX 5080, and still have cash left over lol
