Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[faint swallow]

Idk if I have the energy to start testing everything all over again lol

[sleek veldt]

It's literally got more framegen

[faint swallow]

I was happy with rr and 3x fg at 4k

[neon whale]

from what I'm gathering LetThereBeMoreLight is busted too?

[fresh field]

oh yes, that too

[stray grove]

guys honestly i was bitching about RR earlier but once i reverted to default preset it look pretty good 😂

[fresh field]

the patch updated the files it uses

[pure sundial]

How does nobody get that this is obvious sarcasm lmao

b850 cant even run the game

[subtle sinew]

Am I going crazy or do the textures look like ass now? I don't remember this blocky pattern before I disabled displacement maps and you can see them more

[pure sundial]

yep I was complaining about this as soon as the patch dropped

go in first person and get a closer look at them

[subtle sinew]

man what the hell

[hardy owl]

If you remove RR they will look good.

[stray grove]

guys you know who to blame they downgraded for console performance issue 100% 😅 \

[soft timber]

honestly i am so happy they fixed the issue with textures not having as much depth when RR is enabled

Send it in

[soft timber]

Does the newest pinned mod still work?

[neon whale]

nooo the camera mod must be fucked too then.

[tired oxide]

Game hangs at launch with relimiter after the latest game update

[cold arrow]

What are we talking about. Non RR still looks way worse

[stray grove]

@cold arrow im with you on that

[soft timber]

Way worse than what. With it off?

[faint swallow]

Hmmm, I feel like it's all over the place. DLAA with no rr is better now, rr is even better now, rr is messed up now, and then to top it off half of Renodx is broken + camera mod 🫩

[pure sundial]

anyone who says no rr is better is coping

[cold arrow]

left is on

[cold arrow]

right is off

[subtle sinew]

yeah it makes no difference

both are with RR disabled and displacement maps on/off

[cold arrow]

yeah some people are saying that it looks good with RR off now and that its almost the same

[soft timber]

Left looks much better. Way better shading in my opinion. More accurate shadows and lighting. Less noise

[cold arrow]

yes its way better

[pure sundial]

nah its an issue with this patch, they fixed the displacement maps but the textures are shit now

[cold arrow]

shadows on RR are about 50x better but thats a rought estimate lmao

[faint swallow]

Lol

[subtle sinew]

Displacement maps still look like ass every edge still has a ghosty aliased look

[cold arrow]

maybe it was the switch to the new preset but RR looks a lot sharper now as well?

[pure sundial]

Just going off what they said in the patch notes lol they are still ass but better than before I guess?

[hardy owl]

I am saying compared to the previous build, the lighting without RR has improved a lot. I am not saying its the exact same but almost. There is more ghosting there. Obviously we all have to report this problem so they fix it

[soft timber]

Tbh aaall I want visually fixed more than anything is better draw distances and less pop in. Like buildings look so low poly/res from not even that far away. Along with a lot of grass pop in

[subtle sinew]

The ass has a different stank ig lol

[pure sundial]

yeah lmao

[pure sundial]

and texture resolutions

[cold arrow]

yeah the LOD's are shit but the draw distance on the landscape at least is pretty wild

[pure sundial]

let the people use all their vram

[manic valve]

They clearly have it set up right now for 8GB of VRAM

[stray grove]

@pure sundial yea barely using 8-9gb of vram all maxed at 2k rr on

[cold arrow]

Theres too many cases though of things not loaded their models in time or at proper distances though so I agree

[soft timber]

Yeah I agree. LODS are the ugliest thing about the game in my opinion. Sure it has issues in other places but that's by far my biggest gripe

[manic valve]

This game needs a high res texture pack released ASAP

[faint swallow]

For me on my 5080, and this was before PA patched CD, I shortly tested preset D and E and was not seeing anything outstandingly different between the two. Other than D maybe performed slightly better but that might have just been random.

[manic valve]

They probably have the stock textures in high res. We just got the console textures lol

[soft timber]

Also I thought preset E caused issues in this game

[eager epoch]

The fact I must toggle DLAA and back to DLSS is so retarded

[cold arrow]

RR balanced at 4K is looking pretty close to native, prior to update it looked really soft. Maybe Im crazy

[sleek veldt]

Fixed it

[manic valve]

RR balanced at 4k looks really really good and performs very well

[cold arrow]

yeah seems to be the best option for performance and visuals

[wise flax]

It looks so much better now with this patch. It's a big step in the right direction.

[soft timber]

I play at 4k dlss performance with RR and tbh it could look clearer but it's not so bad. I'd rather play like that than without RR. Too much noise without it.

[cold arrow]

try balanced the image quality bump is huge

especially after this patch it seems

[soft timber]

I would but there's times it drops down into the 80fps range and that's with frame gen

[wise flax]

@soft timber RCAS Sharpening still works in Reno to help if its blurry.

[spare quartz]

IDK what you guys are seeing. it looks like crap without RR. I am keeping it on. The artifacts make dlaa look worse than RR dlss performance indoors

[cold arrow]

oh yeah Im at ~75 - 80 most of the time but its worth it to me

[pure sundial]

which is fine but the option should exist to increase texture resolution for people that can afford to go above 8 gb

[soft timber]

I was fine with it at first but the game is already heavy with it's inputs/movement and so the input delay felt a bit noticable for me. But it wasn't awful I'd say

[manic valve]

No, you'll get your console textures and you'll like it..

[pure sundial]

There's no reason to not have a high resolution texture pack available

[soft timber]

Kinda nuts I can get better performance in cyberpunk with path tracing with over 200 mods tho 😂

[pure sundial]

Facts

[manic valve]

Cyberpunk is a WAY better optimized game

With way better tech

[pure sundial]

Cyberpunk with ultra plus path tracing looks and runs wayyy better

[stray grove]

@soft timber same 720mods in cyberpunk with PTnextv3 ahah

[fresh field]

This is what I see with RR on

[soft timber]

I desperately need to beat it. I have a habit of jumping through different games trying to beat them all and I never get around to beating anything it seems.

[manic valve]

Ultra Plus? That crappy mod?

[pure sundial]

gotta be ragebait

[soft timber]

Ultra plus is phenomenal. I use it for every game I can

[cold arrow]

then you're never finishing this game haha

[manic valve]

I'm still halfway through the story. Cyberpunk has a LOT of side quests lol

[faint swallow]

Lord please give me the strength as I embark once again patching the game and testing every last quality level, frame gen level, Reno setting, and navigate the randomness of a PA game.

[pure sundial]

@crude marsh execute this guy

[cold arrow]

They should call this game Hernand Desert

[sly violet]

without RR don't use max ligthing and you will see the artifacts are not that noticeable anymore

[stray grove]

Ultra+ is goated

[manic valve]

Ultra+ with the different path tracing rendering pipelines?

[wise flax]

@cold arrow Just play for 500 hrs and you'll be able to play in Crimson Desert in Crimson Desert.

[pure sundial]

It makes the path tracing look better and perform better there is no downside

[manic valve]

I tested it and it didn't really seem to do much.

[pure sundial]

This is god tier ragebait

[stray grove]

i make all the difference in the world in cyberpunk ahah

[cold arrow]

Im at over 60 hours and still near hernand or areas north 🙁 I have no idea how people are rolling credits in 100 hours

[faint swallow]

For real lol

I was trying to decipher if he was for real or not

[stray grove]

PTnextv3 compared to base game PT is night day difference

[wise flax]

@cold arrow They must literally only do main story and nothing else.

[pure sundial]

Which is wild that you can still get 100 hours out of this game rushing the main story tbhhh

I'm close to that and halfway through

[faint swallow]

@manic valve certified troll

[soft timber]

@cold arrow @manic valve in my backcatolog I have

Baldurs gate 3.

Death stranding 1

Kingdom come deliverance 1 and 2

Indiana Jones and the great circle

Hogwarts legacy

Resident evil 4 and resident evil Requiem

Stardew valley

Control ultimate edition

Dishonored 2

Half life 1 and 2

Dying light 2 and dying light the beast

Silent hill 2

Bioshock trilogy

Dead space remake

Fallout 3 and new Vegas and 4

And a few others.

Cyberpunk 2077

And LoreRim (Skyrim mod list)

So yeah it's a bit overwhelming at times and idk where to start

[manic valve]

Easy. Half Life 1 and 2

[soft timber]

And now crimson desert

[soft timber]

Oh I know. Phenomenal games

[manic valve]

I mean maybe I need to go mess with it more

[pure sundial]

I can't wait to finish crimson desert so I can go back to playing marathon

[soft timber]

But just beating like 3 of those games will literally take hundreds and hundreds of hours

So I've been trying to focus on the short ones first

[cold arrow]

Death Stranding, Silent Hill 2, RE4 and Requiem, Cyberpunk in no particular order

[pure sundial]

Lorerim is awesome you can put a lot of time into it

[cold arrow]

the RE games are short

[neon whale]

so for now should I set these 2 to off?

[cold arrow]

I do both

[pure sundial]

off and on doesn't matter

[cold arrow]

Marathon is peak

[pure sundial]

won't work regardless

[soft timber]

Best modlist by far in my opinion. Waiting on 5.0 to do a full playthrough of it

[pure sundial]

cryo archives are calling my name

[cold arrow]

I will never kill the Compiler D:

[pure sundial]

yeah same hahah

[cold arrow]

I only have one vault key 😭

[pure sundial]

rough

[soft timber]

It sucks too because I have almost 100 hours in cyberpunk. I pre ordered it and played it on release. But I kept coming back as new updates came out. Would try it. Delete it and wait for new updates. Hop back on and play it. Mod it. Rinse and repeat.

[pure sundial]

Too many games coming out in 2026

[tight crest]

Does this mod work for anyone? After the latest patch it doesn't work for me

[cold arrow]

Just push through so you can have sex with Panam

[soft timber]

The dream

It's crazy too because I never made it even halfway through

And it's phenomenal

I usually play it on ultrawide on my OLED C3 and it's gorgeous

[pure sundial]

I think it's officially gotten to the point where it's not getting more updates so good time to play it

But CDPR did say that a while ago and kept updating anyway so lol

[cold arrow]

I typically play bluetooth on my OLED cybertruck display at 16k ultra wide but thats neat too or whatever

[stray grove]

modded cyberpunk with U+ and all the good visual mod so good all i do is drive around and vibe ahah barely doing the story

[soft timber]

Yeah no it's for sure done mostly. I just haven't gotten around to downloading it and getting back into it

[soft timber]

Based

[pure sundial]

Yea I've been wanting to replay cyberpunk modded again since I've got a much beefier pc

[manic valve]

Cyberpunk with all the texture mods etc is so fucking good

I think I use like up to 22gb VRAM on that game

[faint swallow]

Idk what kind of hardware you have but if any UE5 games interested you from the past year or so you should go try them again with U+. They don't do ai config garbage, they FIX the games and then some.

[soft timber]

But it's like... FUCK. I have like 6 high quality open world games I wanna get through and it's almost impossible to stick with one without feeling like I need to play another one. Just an overwhelming feeling of Choice paralysis I suppose

[cold arrow]

well you can buy the arc B70 for $900 and it has 32 gb of vram 😎

[stray grove]

@manic valve dude my 16gb vram struggle with all the mod like ETO and such i got to drop the quality a bit

[pure sundial]

U+ is a massive improvement to hogwarts legacy and STALKER 2

[soft timber]

Yeah it's phenomenal. I used to use nova lut and it's cool. But tbh it rips the art style away too much so I Just mainly use texture mods and fixes and visual fixes

[manic valve]

Yeah I really don't like the LUTs

[cold arrow]

Some push through for the story, I push through to find the frost knight armor without a guide 😎

[manic valve]

I just saw what Ultra+ does to Stalker 2.... looks crazy

[soft timber]

The E3 lighting mods are decent in my opinion. I do like that Aesthetic

[lofty quartz]

1.01.00 patch is out

[manic valve]

I'll try it. Downloading RN for Cyberpunk

[manic valve]

Nice, you modded in an FD RX7

Looks it has the Veilside kit

[soft timber]

Fuck and I've been meaning to replay the batman Arkham games

And a modded Witcher 3

[stray grove]

@manic valve only driving that and a supra right now ahah

[soft timber]

Last time I beat Witcher 3 it was on an Xbox one and I never beat blood and whine on it. And I've been wanting to do a full new playthrough on PC

[manic valve]

Nice. My daily driver is a 600 whp 6 speed M2, wish they'd mod that into Cyberpunk

[pure sundial]

See this is why I never finish games because now you guys got me wanting to reinstall cyberpunk

[manic valve]

But mostly see Porsches and JDM cars

[soft timber]

They probably have in Skyrim 😈

[stray grove]

@manic valve with U+ when you change preset make sure to reload save and if you go from RT + PT to full on PT like ptnextv3 you need to restart the game for setting to work properly

[manic valve]

Ok so basically turn it on, restart game, and go HAM

[stray grove]

yea then there is a quality level and streaming level so you can play with those and check performance you get

and with PTnextv3 there sharc setting it add more bounce light

[faint swallow]

U+ has pages online dedicated to game specific stuff as well as general explanations for all of their settings and how they affect performance.

[manic valve]

All I'm gonna say is that when Cyberpunk 2 comes out, goodbye reality

[soft timber]

Tbh I've always hoped for an ultra+ mod for the current version of Witcher 3. So many ray tracing visual issues that seems right up their alley for fixing

[stray grove]

@soft timber would be amazing tbf though that next gen update is really good for w3

[eager epoch]

Parallax wont work properly anymore with RR

[faint swallow]

https://theultraplace.com/

[restive roost]

it works when youre still and stops working if youre moving

[soft timber]

It's definitely good. But yeah definitely a few bugs for it

Like with RT there's a very specific bush/plant that glows weirdly

Geralts hair/beard will also change color weirdly depending on the lighting condition he's in

And it has weird stutter at times.

[stray grove]

@restive roost yep and without RR it work but immo parallax thing not that great when you realise it totally make all the wall look flat

[foggy dust]

Oy vey they broke dlss? Seeing people post really borked images outside of dlaa. Need sleep so can't go check for myself.

[open timber]

https://github.com/codecrafting-io/AdvancedPathTracingCP2077

Try this instead, it doesn't have all the bloat of ultraplus.

[eager epoch]

Kinda with a delay, without RR its instant + it have bugs

[pure sundial]

"bloat" I'm good thanks

[faint swallow]

Bloat lmao

[pure sundial]

I don't consider customisation options as bloat

[shut python]

So RR is just broken now? everything is just vibrating

[stray grove]

yea i wouldnt say U+ is bloated either more like goated

@shut python set DLSS RR preset to default

[faint swallow]

Apparently the struggle bus just made a pit stop in this discord

[shut python]

in nvidia app or dlss swapper?

[stray grove]

@shut python if you made change in either just revert to default

fixed the flickering for me

[tight crest]

I'm not using RR

[stray grove]

@faint swallow there new U+ beta on their discord its pretty good got better perf then the one on nexus

[tight crest]

None of the mod works for me, can't disable the hud nuffin

[shut python]

ahh okay i had it on recommeded

[eager epoch]

DLAA without RR looks better but still have this retarded black bar. They'll prioritize console gamers thats why most of fixes are non grtaphic related, my guess they'll attend to PC / Nvidia / tech stuff later

[stray grove]

@tight crest reinstall the no hud mod it work for me

[tight crest]

I did, didn't work :c

[faint swallow]

Thanks man, I haven't played a UE5 game in a minute but I stay creeping in their discord.

[restive roost]

works for me too

[shut python]

i'll give it a go once i reboot

[tight crest]

oop now its working

i guess verifying my files fixed it

[subtle sinew]

download_depot 3321460 3321461 3559081655545104676
should be the depot download for the previous crimson desert update

[shut python]

game is still vibrating wtf

[foggy dust]

[open timber]

Shadows are still flickering a few meters away from the camera unfortunately..

[pure sundial]

Damn game is still going strong

[foggy dust]

So 90k people finally left Hernand.

[wise flax]

Anyone else have a weird issue where the very top of your screen is blurry?

[foggy dust]

wat

[subtle sinew]

I think DLAA had that issue?

[hardy owl]

They have improved this a lot. I dont see flickering close to the character anymore. Are we guys playing in the same patch lol

[wise flax]

I'm standing next to rocks and the top of my screen looks like it has this weird blur

[subtle sinew]

I don't think you are playing the same patch lol

it's so much worse

[foggy dust]

He's not talking about the black bars since that's, well, a black bar, not a blur.

[solar bone]

yeah after everyone realized the reviews were bullshit people all got the game

[modest hatch]

You know after playing at around 60 fps for a while (I accidentally put lighting to max) ,

Playing at DLSS P with Ray reconstruction is pretty good at close to 60 FPS (4k cinematic )

[wise flax]

If I move my camera while standing next to rocks the top like quarter inch of my screen is super blurry looking

[restive roost]

thats probably the paralax displacemet

[faint swallow]

Interesting after updating I thought for sure the different Nvidia .dll files would be messed with but my 310.5.3.0 files are still untouched

[pure sundial]

frame gen artifacts

[wise flax]

Its not frame gen I just checked

[open timber]

I do see it. I am still in the first area in the small town. Tree shadows and building shadows do still flicker, then you get closer and the higher res shadowmap kicks in. Playing with everything maxed out and RR plus the reno mod.

[foggy dust]

Oh people were posting on reddit about how DLSS is broken atm, posting blurry shots of things up close to the camera.

[wise flax]

It's like 1/10th of an inch of the top of my screen not even a quarter inch

Just a tiny sliver its like looking a magnifying glass the wrong way where it's blurry and distorted

[foggy dust]

The shadows up close are raytraced shadows. Shadows past 5m or so are just screen space/shadowmaps. The denoiser struggles with denoising. If they are static shadows you'll see them settle after standing still for a few seconds.

[hardy owl]

Try without RR and see if the flickering pop on is still there? I dont have the shadow quality changing close to the camera its completely gone

Which was bothering me so so much.

[open timber]

Mmh... Thanks, I will try again without RR.

[wise flax]

It seems like the stones aren't fully rendered at the very edges of the screen and them rendering makes them look blurry and like they're moving when you move the camera while standing still. It's kinda disorienting.

[fresh field]

thats parralax, its busted as fuck

that no hud mod, i turned on its parralax and it fixes it entirely

[hardy owl]

In this video you can see that I have no shadow flickering or pop in out like we have before in this patch. You can see it for yourself

[faint swallow]

Shader toggler was updated for new patch

[fresh field]

and looks way better

[hardy owl]

zero shadow pop in

[open timber]

True, it looks very stable, except for the clouds breaking when occluded by the street lantern. 😄

[fresh field]

dude this rain looks so bad with RR on, what is going on

[manic valve]

The reviews were all over the place for this game, you can really tell some of them did not get very far in the game lol

[wise flax]

@hardy owl Is it that choppy for you or is that the video being low framerate?

[stray grove]

rain always look ass didnt it?

[fresh field]

not like THIS

[stark arch]

it looks like radioactivity to me

[hardy owl]

I have a low framerate so its more visible in the video so you can see that there is no flickering

[wise flax]

rain looks better at native without DLSS I'm pretty sure. Idk how it is now with their DLSS changes though.

[fresh field]

yeah my ass in the glowing sea in fallout 4 right now

[hardy owl]

if you remove RR does it still look bad?

[fresh field]

im running DLAA right now and it loks like its smearing all over my screen

[fresh field]

Yes

[hardy owl]

fucking hell

the rain never looked right to be honest

[stark arch]

crazy how they cant get rain right, rain looks better in 2001 games

[wise flax]

It's smaller shadows that still flicker for me mostly like that a barrell or box cast. Also some foliage or smaller shadows on buildings like from the trim/wooden beams.

[stray grove]

@faint swallow new shadder toggler make game not start lol

[wise flax]

It usually improves as I get closer to the shadow as well.

[fallen hedge]

Did the new patch fix the low res textures and shadows at lower dlss modes?

[hardy owl]

I have a feeling that Pearl Abyss just released the game too early and didn't have time to cook properly certain graphical areas. The fact that they are adding so much stuff in these patches is suspicious

[wise flax]

It's crazy how people with similar or even the same settings are somehow getting different results in how the game looks. Some peopl have shadow's and the ground shimmering and flickering and some dont...

[fresh field]

anyway, with RR on and paralax off, all of the rock flickering goes away

[hardy owl]

I do have flickering with RR

[fresh field]

so i am pretty sure paralax and RR is honked due to patch

[open timber]

It's clear they had a huge backlog before release, seeing how many fixes are being pushed at once.

[hardy owl]

Are you using the no hud mod to remove paralax?

[fresh field]

yes

[stray grove]

isnt it what game these day are though? they dont release finish product anymore lol its always a work in progress

[faint swallow]

I'm pretty sure shader toggler/no HUD mod is the only way to remove paralax

[steady orbit]

hi. is new version renodx out? from yesterday or no?

[stray grove]

@faint swallow it is but it make the wall so flat and remove the depth in terrain also everytthing look flat

[faint swallow]

Although I stopped doing that because near water or other certain places removing that shader caused weird graphical issues

[hardy owl]

It's tiresome man. We pay for early access games

[wise flax]

@stray grove I mean some, but if it's not releasing early access it should be mostly complete and functional if it's a single player game.

[fresh field]

yeah paralax and RR are cooked

[faint swallow]

I don't think PA didn't finish this game. Most of these issues are just because they obviously did not have a lot of people with high level skills in knowledge on building an engine and properly implementing a lot of different features

[wise flax]

Is it because they changed presets or is it something else?

[faint swallow]

They just made a truck load of bizarre technical choices and some show they just straight up did not know how to properly handle things

[fresh field]

like the parallax is very blurry too. looking at this rock with parralax on with DLAA and its blurry. turn off parallax and it looks a lot cleaner

but obv it loses its parralax

[cerulean night]

I assume the reshade/reno fix still works with new update?

[faint swallow]

I've never heard Laz say a game makes him wish it used UE5 instead lol

[foggy dust]

New grass and material slider doesn't seem to do anything anymore, though

[fresh field]

just looking at this, i imagine their implementation of parralax is ugly as fuck

[foggy dust]

[stray grove]

@cerulean night yes and no lot dont work anymore

[fresh field]

its broken due to new patch

[stray grove]

@fresh field yep the parallax in this game is fugly af

[foggy dust]

Yeah I know why, just saying it's borked.

[frozen shale]

Isn't it just permanent now? We can't turn it off.

[hardy owl]

The problem with playing without RR is the ghosting. It's really bad

[covert ruin]

where did u hear this?

[void quail]

The only way I found to not have flickering on the floor with RR activated is to put the models quality on low

[restive roost]

thats cause it disables paralax

[stray grove]

its pretty dark still at night ahah rain look allright with RR on too its not blurry for me

[frozen shale]

It says it on the RenoDX menu in reshade.

[fresh field]

parralax on in the left pic and off in the right. Its slight in a picture but you can notice how blurry it on left vs right

[hardy owl]

But what does models look exactly? It sounds like the visuals on low will be very downgraded

[fresh field]

but with parralax and RR on right now, when you walk around rocks they just look like ass

[frozen shale]

The grass AO is built in now.

It was causing crashes turning it on and off.

[foggy dust]

I'm not running that build. Any builds after AMD started crashing I'm not running.

[wise flax]

Yeah I think I’ve settled on RR off for now. It was making me dizzy with the constant flickering. I’ve also managed to get DLAA+HDR working without the black bars so long as I don’t alt tab.

[subtle sinew]

Left is old patch right is new patch

[void quail]

They look decent, definitely not as good as before, but at least it's playable, I can't play with so much flickering on the screen. I hope they fix it soon.

[karmic quest]

Look at your armor on darker areas

[stray grove]

is it me or they made night darker? left is with renodx on

[wise flax]

100% they did

[stray grove]

and yes now i see rain look ass

[wise flax]

It still looks better with auto exposure off in Reno though.

Well the auto exposure fix turned on I mean

[stray grove]

@wise flax yep turned on look better

[subtle sinew]

I went back to the previous patch anything yall want me to test?

[fresh field]

the more i toggle parallax off and on in random spots, the madder i get

[subtle sinew]

I'm pretty sure DLSS is much sharper on the old patch than the new specially in motion

[fresh field]

it just looks like dogwater

[gusty steeple]

so this is the boiling we're all getting yah?

[subtle sinew]

yep

[restive roost]

turn model quality to low for now

[ruby tusk]

no

[gusty steeple]

daaaaaamn

[stray grove]

@gusty steeple i dont get that since i went default the RR preet

[solar bone]

they really broke rendering bad with this update

[fresh field]

well i mean that just turns off parralax lol. i was doing that with this mod while having models at ultra

[gusty steeple]

yeah man

[hardy owl]

Poor Forge

He is gonna have a meltdown in the morning

[gusty steeple]

haha oh boy

[restive roost]

but it doesnt break if you use RR

[solar bone]

are they not testing their fucking patches before releasing them

[gusty steeple]

yeah this is truly bizzare

[solar bone]

like who looked at the graphics and said "this is better"

[fresh field]

yeah what else do you lose with low model quality tho.

[hardy owl]

This is my question. What does model quality does

[fresh field]

i would assume if you can run RR with low model quality to remove parralax then forcing it off with this mod and keeping it ultra for all the other effects shouldnt cause issues

but thats just an assumption

[foggy dust]

I swear the popin's are worse now

minor spoiler

Ignore the filmgrain when zoomed in. Downsampling 4k to 1440p so need it extra high.

[hardy owl]

The vegetation looks like crap without Ray Reconstruction. All blurry. Unplayable

[foggy dust]

My screenshots are with RR off btw.

Toggle your DLSS to DLAA and then back down to what you have. I guess they didn't fix that bug. Have to do that on every boot

[faint swallow]

I'm confused on the whole rr flickering convo I'm running around everywhere and don't see anything flickering lol

This game is so bizarre

[gusty steeple]

well the heck with this I'm going to just play it and hope it, uh, fixes itself

[faint swallow]

I've yet to test interior lights without rr

[gusty steeple]

having too much fun

[foggy dust]

Interior you will definitely see it

[stray grove]

@faint swallow i was getting flicker when forcing a preset with dlss swapper now back to default and no flicker

[foggy dust]

No you'd get flicker even at default. Maybe they've fixed it in this update?

[gusty steeple]

it almost seems like some scenes correct themselves sometimes after a moment

it's weird

[foggy dust]

They do

[faint swallow]

I mean interior lights were borked before. So if they are still borked without rr than it's no different

[foggy dust]

It's their slow denoiser

[gusty steeple]

ah

[hardy owl]

They are fixed

[faint swallow]

But some people in here swear to god that Dlaa no rr is playable now

Which would be interesting to me if true

[random marsh]

Wait what bug is this?

[foggy dust]

I'm playing no rr at 4k quality just fine. It's still daytime so we'll see.

[hardy owl]

But like I just said now, vegetation is broken without RR. Everything is blurry and ghosting everywhere. Impossible for me to play that way

[faint swallow]

I just gotta wait to sleep and then head inside castle area to test Dlaa no rr

Ok so no rr is still a no go then

[polar crow]

so what are best settings for now ingame and reno?

[small jolt]

hey guy, just updated the game and seems like the addon doesnt work anymore right?

[foggy dust]

Foliage would be blurry from startup unless running DLAA. Fix was to enable dlaa, back out of menu back to the game, and then set it back down to q/b/p/up, whatever you had. But patch notes mention something so might've been fixed, idk. I run 4k DLDSR with DLSS at P so I never had to deal with it

[hardy owl]

Yep. Wait till Dusk, and go to an area with grass and trees without RR and walk. Lol

[stray grove]

the moon still work at least

😅

[foggy dust]

Someone toss up an .asi with imgui for daytime control

[faint swallow]

Lol

[stray grove]

they really made night much darker though

[fresh field]

set model quality to low and see if you still have that issue on that bridge. i want to see if its parralax

[thin kelp]

Mod works fine after patch? It shouldn't break right?

[foggy dust]

Yeah they definitely made lod popin worse

[fresh field]

core HDR part of the mod works but some of the adv features arent

[foggy dust]

Any npc past 10m from you = PS2 era hair

Actually that's offensive to the PS2.

N64.

[hardy owl]

It seems like LOD is better with RR off, shadows don't pop in and assets in general don't have issues

[foggy dust]

Again, I don't have RR on

No, the popin is crazy

[wise flax]

With RR off is DLSS 4.5 the better option?

[fresh field]

yes

[hardy owl]

And you have everything set to cinematic?

[wise flax]

I wasn't sure as 4.5 had issues on launch.

[cerulean night]

Are you using photo mode for these screenshots?

[fresh field]

4.5 uses preset M, and 4.5 L uses ... L

[wise flax]

I use it in most games, but I had heard it wasnt working right when the game released.

[hoary vector]

They possibly scale things for performance based on frame rate . Someone said shit culls below 60fps very obviously

[foggy dust]

Cinematic, 4k quality

[cerulean night]

I saw they increased range you can move so I wonder if taking camera further from kliff causes poor Lods?

[foggy dust]

Yes

[karmic quest]

Wait so renodx aint working with this new patch? 😭

[foggy dust]

Check NPC lod when around this distance from you @subtle sinew

[wise flax]

Damn reflection are so bad without RR…

[foggy dust]

I could swear I never noticed npc lod changing previously

[hardy owl]

Go to a field and look at the grass

[wise flax]

??

[gusty steeple]

just to beat a dead horse, assume this is what you're all getting too?

[wise flax]

What is this like the walking dead and looking at the flowers?

[faint swallow]

Ya so DlAA definitely much better now and I don't have black bars. Getting 120 fps with 2x frame gen but reflections are jacked up bad

My shadow armor looks like a Christmas tree lol

[foggy dust]

Also turn model to high so things don't move like it's a damn hurricane. No you will not see any difference except the wind reaction.

And no I don't know what possessed them to link the wind speed to model quality

[gusty steeple]

ah hmmmmm

[subtle sinew]

Like that?

[hardy owl]

If you go to the country side in the game without RR, especially at dusk. Look at the grass. It looks awful.

[rough granite]

how do you start the game without getting updated?

[subtle sinew]

set the appmanifest file to read only

[subtle sinew]

appmanifest_3321460.acf

[foggy dust]

Thank you. I guess it did look that bad

err windows tonemapped the hdr screenshot

but you see the hair

[subtle sinew]

yeah lods are hard to say since some games also scale lods to resolution

[foggy dust]

Huh I never noticed the popin previously. Wonder if they've removed an lod level or it's bugged

[faint swallow]

And lighting update speed with DLAA and no rr is a little too slow in interiors for me

God latency without rr is so dang nice 😢

[foggy dust]

Game was so hot with RenoDX a few hours ago. 😢

[faint swallow]

But I still just can't. I'm going back to 3x frame gen and rr balanced

[rough granite]

thanks, do you know if the download command put it back in its original folder? or it download a new whole game?

[warm scroll]

the latest update for renodx for this game says "Clear shader cache" how?

[gusty steeple]

this is me

[faint swallow]

Nvidia file and delete the dxcache

[fresh field]

you can download and run DDU and it has a clear shader option

[subtle sinew]

I deleted everything except the bin64 folder and moved the files over
they should be on your base steam install location steamapps/content

[solar bone]

4k dldsr, dlss 4.5L performance gaming

[foggy dust]

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

[subtle sinew]

For the bin64 folder I made sure I didn't overwrite other files that I wanted to keep

[faint swallow]

I also use disk cleanup after

[rough granite]

asking as I have like 4 disks for games to install with steam 😄

[subtle sinew]

lol I have that problem too

[foggy dust]

SSD prices have skyrocketed so don't be wasteful, ya hear?

:4head:

[faint swallow]

Lol

[solar bone]

I'm so thankful i bought a couple 4 tb ssds and a 2 tb nvme ssd before shit went crazy

[gusty steeple]

goddamn it keep changing settings and generally stuffing about hoping I'll find a silver bullet

nope

[foggy dust]

I just bought 2TB nvmes. Was going to buy a bunch of 4TBs, but then this all happened

Multiple NASA computers but with like 2 to 4tb storage in total in them

🙃

[stray grove]

@foggy dust you just noticed the pop in? 😅 been pop in galore since release ahah

[solar bone]

If they're going to break the game and all mods everytime a patch arrives we're in for a ride

[gusty steeple]

i'll say

[foggy dust]

No I know about the popin. It just seems more egregious now. Might just be placebo and it's just as bad as it was a few hours ago, who knows.

[stray grove]

hard to tell immo

feel like its the same

[foggy dust]

Not their fault. Data within packages change because they've, well, changed stuff. So offsets change.

[solar bone]

Yeah well usually not everything stops working for games when they get updated

[wise flax]

@hardy owl yeah there are trade offs with every setting in this game it seems. I already turned RR back on because of how bad and shimmery reflections look without it…

It’s pretty common for mods to break with updates.

[faint swallow]

Ok I have found the new boiling issue with parallax enabled

That I did not have before

That's seriously annoying

[leaden kelp]

Hi, I installed reshade, then dragged the renodx-crimsondesert.addon64 into my bin 64, but I dont see a reno tab on reshade. 🙁

[foggy dust]

Whatever file is modified by a mod, and that is changed via an update, will always break that mod. The only ever time it might not happen is if they have a full array-of-byte scan to try to automagically find the correct address location for whatever the mod/tools are using. Or if whatever was updated only changed stuff further down the order of bytes in that package (rare as lots of headers can change in size thus moving everything by a bit).

[fresh field]

Parallax occlusion is honked

[warm scroll]

f

[stray grove]

@leaden kelp did you install reshade with addon support?

[foggy dust]

Please use this and stop doing manual installations

[faint swallow]

I'm going to have to bounce back and forth with this for a couple hours to see if it's worth for me to turn off parallax

[foggy dust]

Then you can just download your renodx file and open it into this.

[gusty steeple]

i'm genuinely getting upset and blowing this out of proportion at my end haha

[stray grove]

whats wrong with manual install lol

[faint swallow]

Lol

[wise flax]

Manual install takes like 30 seconds

[foggy dust]

The amount of people with issues, that's what. That's why these guys made this installer.

[faint swallow]

Ya I think parallax is going to have to go bye bye. Once I see something so egregious as that boiling my brain just can not let it go

[gusty steeple]

also to confirm: i tried preset D via DLSS Swapper and problem with parallax still exists, expected behaviour...?

[wise flax]

Fair I mean if you struggle with dragging and dropping the file it’s probably going to be hard to install reshade with addons as well. It is what it is.

[foggy dust]

Oh location? I'm curious :D

[faint swallow]

Running around castle in hernand

[foggy dust]

Thanks. Will tp down there

[stray grove]

@wise flax right its 2 step . thats it

[hidden ivy]

Alt Bloom seem to be broken for skill effects

[faint swallow]

The dirt is now boiling water. The edges of a lot of the planks now boil hard.

[analog prism]

hey does anyone know why at DLSS quality the textures sometimes appear low-res, especially after changing settings and it's very noticable up-close?

[leaden kelp]

is LetThereBeMoreLight.zip still working?

[wise flax]

Having a mod manager is useful I just already have so many things on my pc I’d rather not add another mod manager for something so simple. It makes more sense when it’s for multiple mods.

[foggy dust]

New bug with latest patch

[native blade]

have you guys notice performance hit after latest update? i mean game update

[foggy dust]

Hope for a hotfix and not another 7 day wait :P

[analog prism]

does it matter if I pick high ultra or cinematic tex?

[faint swallow]

For me at rr balanced 3x frame gen on 5080 mostly maxed out settings performance hasn't rlly changed in any noticeable way

[stray grove]

@leaden kelp more light not working anymore crashes the game

[foggy dust]

No. Hardly makes a difference. You can check latest DigitalFoundry video that shows most settings change hardly anything, with no real perf difference except lighting.

[faint swallow]

I guess it could depend on your hardware and settings

[wise flax]

From what I’ve seen ultra vs cinematic is basically no difference. Benchmarkking claims ultra causes less shimmering in ground textures, but I’ve not tested it.

[faint swallow]

Digital foundry gets the side eye after the way the showed and talked about this game anyways

[analog prism]

ok thanks, will check it out

[stray grove]

@faint swallow i was just about to DF lost all my trust ahah

[faint swallow]

Plus rich didn't even review it himself lol.

[analog prism]

also gameplay related question. I took some aerial skills which are really cool but there's a lot of fall damage. is there some way to mitigate that a bit

[steady orbit]

is new version renodx from yesterday works with new patch?

[stray grove]

@steady orbit new fixes added dont work hdr related fixes work

[foggy dust]

Eh say what you want, they have comparisons right there in the video. And you can test it yourself. You won't see much difference in picture quality nor performance.

[subtle sinew]

how's my motion clarity/sharpness? 🤔

[wise flax]

I’m kinda salty at DF for how hard they hyped this game pre release while not mentioning a single one of the major graphic issues/bugs…

[fresh field]

Use fly right before you hit the ground

[stray grove]

@wise flax they glazed the game so hard ahah

[faint swallow]

I'm not debating that. That's been obvious since hardware unboxed reviewed it

[analog prism]

that also works with that one skill where you're rolling around like crazy?

[round python]

Your problem was caring what DF thinks.

[foggy dust]

Looks fine

[faint swallow]

But I just can't take them as serious anymore. As in idk if they are even worth mentioning

[foggy dust]

Bit low fps, though. :P

[subtle sinew]

just realized the bit rate ain't so good oof

[subtle sinew]

I think recording was making me stutter

[foggy dust]

Ah.

[hardy owl]

Man let's hope Forge will have the patience to fix this

[foggy dust]

Yeah I bump that sucker to 150 at 120fps, but I don't want to deal with davinci to lower size for discord atm

[wise flax]

@round python I don’t make decisions based on what techtubers say, but I don’t have early access to games so techtubers are the only way to get a sneak peak.

[subtle sinew]

I wish but discord only lets you upload 500mb

[foggy dust]

What are your reno settings?

[round python]

Absolutely fine to just watch gameplay/graphics or whatever, but good on you for not trusting their words, I stopped listening to DF when I realized most of their "optimized settings" are just pure bullshit.

[faint swallow]

He will, guys like him can't help themselves and I get it. It's addicting

[subtle sinew]

not too happy with the new exposure yet tho

[spare quartz]

didn't they mention the major ones like POM and indoor ray tracing?

[foggy dust]

Peak brightness 2200 goddamn

[cerulean night]

im about to boot up update for the first time, what is current consensus on settings/things to do with update and Reno

[wise flax]

I haven’t watched the recent video, but they glossed over the issues in the pre release video.

[warm scroll]

nope

[hardy owl]

Play with RR on and get used to the flickering or turn down model setting to low so there is no flickering

Pick your poison

[subtle sinew]

or revert to the previous update

[foggy dust]

I actually don't have any flickering or boiling without RR

[hardy owl]

Another option is to turn off RR and enjoy the ghosting

[foggy dust]

Oops didn't mean to tag/reply

[vital bay]

New patch huh, what's broken now?

[hardy owl]

That one too

[spare quartz]

i remember. shouldn't have posed as question lol

[faint swallow]

They didn't talk about pretty much any of the massive issues lol. Idk if it's cause Alex has back issues that removed him from deep diving as he only did a super basic rr testing of lighting. But if you only watched their videos you would have absolutely no idea about basically any of this games issues. AND THERE IS ALOT

[cerulean night]

i moreso mean RenoDx settings but thanks for heads up

[rocky umbra]

everything

[subtle sinew]

Kinda sucks losing out on the better RR visuals tho

[warm scroll]

DF is a joke now

[rocky umbra]

RR performance isnt improved right?

[supple summit]

DF ?

[hardy owl]

Yep. Digital Fraud

[warm scroll]

digital foundry

[supple summit]

i see

[stray grove]

@hardy owl i like that

[supple summit]

ty

[wise flax]

DF acted like this game had cutting edge tech/graphics that were top of industry. I will say I think the game looks good even with the issues, but it’s not as good as they played it up to be.

[warm scroll]

for an open world game, it does well

[supple summit]

so no performance or stability improvements mentioned ? I haven't skimmed over the patch notes yet ...

[analog prism]

playing crimson like

[subtle sinew]

they broke more shit than they fixed

[supple summit]

This will be subjective but my opinion is for the scale of the game, i haven't seen anything like that yet.

[hardy owl]

There are many gameplay improvements but visually seems to be worse

[stray grove]

@warm scroll it does well but they glazed the game so much

[supple summit]

visually worse ? omg

[vital bay]

Which are the new visual issues? Haven't had a chance to see for myself yet

[tender terrace]

Did the new update break reno?

[wise flax]

Graphically it’s on par with Red Dead which was released what 8 years ago.

[tender terrace]

Haven't gotten on yet

[foggy dust]

xd

[hardy owl]

Added flickering when using RR

[supple summit]

true but read dead is tiny compared in scale

[foggy dust]

Nevermind. Grass doesn't flicker, but objects lol

[stray grove]

@wise flax rdr2 has much better lod though 😅

[foggy dust]

Smeary

[vital bay]

Oh boy.. i use RR

[hardy owl]

Yes and that game is from 2018

[subtle sinew]

yeah big issue with displacement maps

[cerulean night]

i know this is controversial but i recently did another playthrough of red dead, Lods are better but Crimson desert looks a lot better in other ways

[stray grove]

@vital bay use default RR preset and flickering isnt so bad i barely notice it now

[faint swallow]

Ya idk. I dont remember rdr2 being borked in 20 different ways with 3 different poisons to pick from or just don't play

[hardy owl]

Because CD has raytracing and RDR2 doesn't

[supple summit]

The control scheme was a prophecy of what's to come hehe

[vital bay]

Default RR preset as in, no renodx?

[foggy dust]

Oh wait even happens with RR.

[faint swallow]

But rdr2 somehow managed to still do lighting better lol

[foggy dust]

[wise flax]

Red dead was super blurry though with anti aliasing issues on release iirc.

[stray grove]

@vital bay renodx doesnt touch RR preset

[foggy dust]

RDR2 is blurry because the TAA in their engine is like the worst of the worst.

[subtle sinew]

yep

[foggy dust]

But great looking game other than that

[stray grove]

@faint swallow rockstar Rage engine is goated immo

[mystic jewel]

Yall are over exaggerating insanely here. There’s a bunch of issues with CD sure, but my god yall are forgetting what RDR2 was like on release on pcs, lol.

[hardy owl]

With DLSS4 it doesn't look blurry anymore luckily

[foggy dust]

Yeah I know

[wise flax]

Yeah and DLSS4.0 wasn’t a thing at the time so you were stuck with their shit anti aliasing.

[foggy dust]

I redownloaded just for that

[wise flax]

I need to replay red dead and Witcher 3 with all of the graphics updates.

[faint swallow]

The way CD uses ray tracing and reflection techniques is like they did it all without having any prior knowledge on how any of it has ever been done before.

[stray grove]

W3 next gen update is pretty dank

[subtle sinew]

Displacement map on left off right

[foggy dust]

This is with RR. 4k with DLSS at Quality btw. Everything maxed.

🤮

[supple summit]

I did a replay of read dead 3 weeks before cd came out ^^ it does look alot better compared to release state, especially with new dlss version

[subtle sinew]

on left off right
you can see the bag has a bunch of aliasing around the edges

[faint swallow]

They used like 4 different techniques partially and mashed them together in various ways in various scenarios at very low quality. It's kind of incoherent

[subtle sinew]

it actually got way worse with the latest update

and on top of that I'm pretty sure DLSS is looking blurrier too

[hardy owl]

And they say they have fixed displacement maps in the patch notes lol

[foggy dust]

Yeah wtf is going on.

This isn't even ugly. It's oogly. Double o

[subtle sinew]

that was on the previous update too it's only worse now lmao

[foggy dust]

Muh immershun

My video from latest

[wise flax]

Idk I think it looks better now with DLSS working better. Sure RR has more issues now, but personally I think it’s noticeably better. Once Reno is patched up it’ll be even better.

[hardy owl]

Well I am just shelving the game until the hero Forge fix this crap

[supple summit]

[subtle sinew]

they must have the devs coding without glasses

[subtle sinew]

the shield on my back was much blurrier on the latest version and grass was too

[spare quartz]

RDR2 was a crash fest. It didn't even launch for the first 3 days for me. This game is like 100x more stable. people are actually putting in hours

[faint swallow]

It's almost like we're back at square one where everything is so all over the place again that no one knows what to do until forge dives in again and Laz here and there

[subtle sinew]

we need the adults

[supple summit]

aye, atm at 113+

[foggy dust]

So now we need model setting on low to avoid this. Ew

[hardy owl]

Probably changing from preset D to E wasn't a good idea. I am just guessing though

[rocky umbra]

Or -- we just wait it out 👀

They are obviously gonna keep improving stuff. Its too much effort to fix broken stuff 🤷‍♂️

[faint swallow]

Unfortunately my reaction too

[stray grove]

@wise flax the more i play the better it look so far i haven't had a single flicker with RR since defaulting my preset

[subtle sinew]

I changed it with optiscaler I'm pretty sure I was still forcing preset D unless the latest version even overrode that

[solar bone]

i hate this so much

[foggy dust]

Meant to reply to your caps lock message lol

[solar bone]

i love all the QoL stuff but it fucked the graphics bigtime

[solar bone]

they were rendering properly for me on previous patch

[analog prism]

is it a good idea to change 310.5.2 to 3 in DLSS swapper?

[faint swallow]

For this game to be "fixed" by the devs they would have to for some reason completely redo about fifty percent of the way they setup the engine. It's such a hodge podge incoherent way of utilizing so many different techniques that I want them to just stop touching it so forge can just untangle it all the best he can and we can all just move on

[supple summit]

can you post a snapshot of them ?

[faint swallow]

I did this and it was fine

[solar bone]

i didn't take pictures of roofs lmao

[spare quartz]

where can i see the flickering issues in RR? so far couldn't find

[faint swallow]

Go to castle in hernand

[supple summit]

no, the rocks

[solar bone]

they also have this weird aura around them but i don't recall if they did before

[foggy dust]

wdym? wtf you playing the game for then? smh my head

[analog prism]

noticed any improvement?

[foggy dust]

[faint swallow]

Walk around looking at the dirt and edges of planks. It's not flickering per say but boiling

[supple summit]

besides looking a bit blurry, it still looks good

[subtle sinew]

these were rocks rendering "correctly" in the previous patch
displacement maps off on the right screenshot

[supple summit]

a bit mushier

[faint swallow]

I kind of think I got a small performance bump but it was so minor that it may just be in my head

[subtle sinew]

the outlines are an aliased mess

[analog prism]

before the patch I was climbing some huge mountains and that is where I spawned in. was surprised at the quality but this explains it lol

[foggy dust]

Can we disable displacement maps? So I don't have to lower my Model from High to low?

[supple summit]

same with the projected light on them, the shadow looks more blurry too

[foggy dust]

The smear/boil is super ugly

[subtle sinew]

With the latest update it keeps turning back on when you try to

[foggy dust]

Dammit

Objects go to LOD1 at like 1m with models at low.

And anything higher than High and there's a hurricane so high is the best. Or was.

Does Reno work with last update?

[solar bone]

why is the model setting so broken right now

[subtle sinew]

https://klipy.com/gifs/hand-on-shoulder-akakichi-no-eleven

they made it worse

[faint swallow]

Fix is a tough word to generalize with rn

[solar bone]

low looks better than cinematic

[sly vigil]

Wtf

[foggy dust]

No. HDR with DLAA still broken, and now DLSS gives you blurry mess up close. Also they broke Model above low so a lot of things becomes a smeary, jagged, boiling mess

[foggy dust]

But permanent mounts now

So that's kewl

[karmic quest]

lets see if I get the same issues with DLSS-RR

[sly vigil]

How do you break models I don't get it...

[faint swallow]

Ya idk I tested HDR and DLAA earlier and it worked fine but I couldn't do some of the lighting issues still there without rr

[vast root]

Does Reno work with last update?

[sly vigil]

I used DLAA anyway the game looks like shit with any upscaling

[foggy dust]

Ehh, weather wind speed is tied to model setting. So ask Pearl Abyss.

[solar bone]

This is the first game i've ever seen so many issues with DLSS in

well, first BIG game

[faint swallow]

DLAA worked for the first time ever without the black bar crap actually

[hardy owl]

Pearl Abyss should hire Forge at this point

[foggy dust]

Assetto Corsa Evo has the worst implementation of DLSS possible. And it's in EA with DLSS 4.5 support.

[supple summit]

for me it was 50/50 if it worked or not, going to map or menus caused it to come back periodically

[solar bone]

Maybe if they didn't hide their grpahics settings behind 7 layers of protection and spaghetti code people like Laz would be able to fix things

[mystic jewel]

Majority of studios could hire Forge lol

[faint swallow]

So than the same lol. Cause I only tested it once

[sly vigil]

Wait.. Did they change weather wind speed and that's what broke models?

[solar bone]

I hate racing games so i'd never know

[sick monolith]

how to do this?

[foggy dust]

No. But model setting above high = hurricane at all times. High = normal. But displacement mapping is borked so model above low = ugly

[potent spear]

Black bar was gone for me yesterday, but the huge black bar when shining light with sword was still present

[faint swallow]

Back with a vengeance

[supple summit]

I wouldn't say they ruined it, it still looks good.

[rocky umbra]

Could the flicker by NV users only?

[faint swallow]

You will eventually lol

It's not everywhere

But alot of places it is

[supple summit]

It's only 1 week after release, looking at that changelog i'd advise to let them cook and see in a month .

[faint swallow]

I thought the same thing at first

[supple summit]

same with flickering shadows

but i got used to it

[analog prism]

does low model quality actually look better rn?

[cerulean night]

i wasnt getting flicker just now when i quickly checked

[faint swallow]

I decided to settle with low

[supple summit]

¯(°_o)/¯

[potent spear]

Using logic doesn't work in here

[vast root]

Does Reno work with last update?

[faint swallow]

I think they need to stop touching their garbage heap of choices and please let modders make the best they can out of it so we can live in peace

[supple summit]

I might aswell try

[spare quartz]

I saw the ground flicker now. Its definitely displacement maps

[foggy dust]

@subtle sinew

I'm enjoying the game a lot, but look. GRAPFIX

[karmic quest]

Yeah I am getting the flickering with RR on, so I guess gonna turn it off for now.

[supple summit]

ground flicker was there before

[mystic jewel]

It ain’t that bad yeah, still looks dope and I get to cruise around on my wolf so it’s a banger

[foggy dust]

(ignore blown highlights, nvidia shadowplay tonemapper issue)

[faint swallow]

Mmmm idk about that. At least not this bad.

[supple summit]

i can check in a few mins after patching is done

[subtle sinew]

[analog prism]

what kind of acid trip am I looking at

[cerulean night]

maybe im old or blind but this looks great to me.

[supple summit]

it was noticeable for me in the scholastone

[cerulean night]

oh wait

[subtle sinew]

game looks good
art style is nice
everything else visual wise is broken

[cerulean night]

ahaha

[solar bone]

Guess it's time for low model quality gaming until they fix this shit

[foggy dust]

Don't

[faint swallow]

Ya I never once had to turn model quality to low just to enjoy the game

[foggy dust]

I swear

[restive roost]

dont know about old but definitly blind

[foggy dust]

Fixes that stuff, but my god the lod switching lmao

[solar bone]

game looks like a smeared mess otherwise

[cerulean night]

you think this game looks bad?

[foggy dust]

True I know

[analog charm]

you cant start the game with negative lod bias enabled in optiscaler. its what causes the texture flickering. what i do is change to -8 in the loading screen or title screen, and when its fully loaded in, change your dlss presets back and forth

[subtle sinew]

steam console download command to get the previous game version

[supple summit]

tbf, we are really nitpicking here

[foggy dust]

Game looks good AND bad. At the same time.

[restive roost]

yes after 10 meters it looks bad af

[mystic jewel]

Ikr

[faint swallow]

I'm arguing with myself rn on whether to do that lol

[eager epoch]

Tnx ill try

[subtle sinew]

worth
forge's new grass edits are real nice

[spare quartz]

WAIT. whatever I was assuming was ground flicker was just displacement map being aeird. it happens when RR is off too lol

[foggy dust]

set model to low to fix

With the caveat that models will actually be lower fidelity, but no weirdness.

[spare quartz]

yeah that issue has always been there

i was just used to broken POM with RR

[supple summit]

ohh crap, the game looks like an oilpainting now ^^

[faint swallow]

Jesus ok I'm going back

[stray grove]

idk game def has its quick but it still look great

[vital bay]

ok so it feels like the player character has an aura around him that interacts with the ground somehow to make it flicker

[foggy dust]

Because you're HIM

[faint swallow]

I just wanted to come home from work and enjoy the game lol

[karmic quest]

I think the only fix for the flickering is turning off DLSS completely lmao

[supple summit]

like many games behave

[karmic quest]

I get no flickering with DLSS off

[sly vigil]

Does the displacement bug only happen with RR like before or with all model settings above Low?

[foggy dust]

Regardless of what you have. Only fix is model on low. RR or not

[vital bay]

and they still haven't fixed the noise fx on nature's echo lmao

[foggy dust]

AHHHH CHAPTER 8

|| Damiane my beloved ||

[faint swallow]

For me only with rr. But unfortunately no rr is a hard pass regardless

[supple summit]

i use a mod for that

this was literally making my screen go 540p

[foggy dust]

What is this tip

[subtle sinew]

can't hear you from hernand on hour 47

[karmic quest]

I gave up on Demiane until I saw that one witch

[supple summit]

go to journal and challenges and see there, you'll have a better info

[sly vigil]

Oh I don't care then fuck RR it halves my FPS

[faint swallow]

Same lmao

[karmic quest]

Guys dont try turning on FSR, it crashes your game

it wont open

😭

[foggy dust]

I'm at 50 hours CH4 spoiler: || Damiane yeets until CH8. She's way more fun to explore as due to her speed||

[supple summit]

i use movement speed lvl10, idc xD

[subtle sinew]

oof what a blue ball move

[vital bay]

yeah i know, i use it too, just checked to see if PA fixed it by any chance

[spare quartz]

Went to hernand castle. So far I have observed 0 issues in RR that are new. These issues with POM exist even with RR off

[supple summit]

nothing about that in the patch notes

[harsh tusk]

so should we use this new verison of reno with the new patch or just keep the old renox profile till forge etc. update?

[foggy dust]

Also I don't have the dye vendor. No clue how to get them. I refuse to play that shitty duo game to progress the quests.

"Win 3 duo games" Fuck no I ain't

[karmic quest]

I was fuming, I got 2 win streaks like 2 times in a row .

[foggy dust]

Someone posted a "Super easy guide to winning Duo" on reddit and it was a goddamn novel

[subtle sinew]

that duo game is garbage lmao

[foggy dust]

Thankfully the winstreak isn't needed here like the other ones. Think the winstreak is only for champion status?

[subtle sinew]

could've just made it blackjack and called it a day

[foggy dust]

Should've just licensed gwent

Let's be real

[faint swallow]

@subtle sinew look at your friend requests so I can dm you good sir

[subtle sinew]

instead the gwent and fucked up the graphics

[supple summit]

It's not too bad but i see a degradation in clarity. Pic is 3440x1440 DLSS Q RR

[foggy dust]

https://klipy.com/gifs/getout-28

[karmic quest]

yh I noticed there is alot more smearing

and loss of quality on 3D objects like walls

[foggy dust]

Also did someone else see there are only 109 armor pieces in the game?

[supple summit]

kinda like an oil painting

[karmic quest]

only?

[supple summit]

lower LOD it seems

especially seen on rocks

[potent spear]

109 armor pieces is alot wdym only?

[foggy dust]

109 in total. That includes every piece. That's why you only see people with the same damn armor when they post screenshots.

[supple summit]

it reminds me a bit of the borderlands artstyle tbh

[karmic quest]

Wtf are the devs doing like, we need higher LOD not lower for fucks sake.

[foggy dust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1s6fvy6/there_is_984_armor_pieces_in_game_but_its/

[supple summit]

same scene i was before patch i had around 1gb more memory load on my gpu

[foggy dust]

VS elden ring with 140 - 160. Per slot.

Yeah 102 is nothing

No wonder I only see the LOTR getup or the cloak with included hood and helmet lol

[supple summit]

like i said, nitpicking

[karmic quest]

We should stop comparing timeless masterpiece to this slop lol

[foggy dust]

Nah this game is fun as heck. Just...

[subtle sinew]

needed more time in the kiln

[weary tangle]

It's like a korean RDR2 on crystal meth, i love it

[foggy dust]

At least 5 people in here rn is wearing my exact outfit

Dye setup not-withstanding

[fierce quest]

Someone tell Crimson desert to fix the graphics or I call the police

[supple summit]

le tthem cook, i can barely see where they're trying to go

[foggy dust]

Calling Crimson Desert rn. Don't worry, I have experience from calling John Halo

[supple summit]

i check back in a month

js

[pure sundial]

There's fireworks at night by the carnival

pretty cool

[fierce quest]

Never buying a game at release date anymore. By the time they fix it, i could have gotten it for 30% off

[subtle sinew]

his dad works at pearl abyss

[foggy dust]

And that cloak is in my inventory.

We all basic

[supple summit]

overall not bad but the rocks stand out

[karmic quest]

I lowered my post processing quality to ultra

the flickering seems to not be as frequent

[supple summit]

looks the same on cinematic

[mystic jewel]

Until you buy the next one and then you’ll say the same thing

[karmic quest]

Well wait until I can paint it, It'll be cool as fuck lol

[supple summit]

i always use 3rd party reseller sites 2-3 days before release to snag a good price if i really want a game at release.

usually 20-30 % off

[wise flax]

gg dot deals is the way to go

[foggy dust]

Yeah, enjoy the 40hr camp grind for the dye guy. And that includes playing those 3 games of Duo

[supple summit]

i use loaded since 2017

[foggy dust]

🙃 🔫

I need to find a camp grind guide. I'm too dumb for this.

[supple summit]

wanting these abyss cores, huh ?!

[mystic jewel]

Yeah same, spent like 42 quid for CD or something

[small jolt]

Now that everything works just fine again for me, I can now live in peace 😄

[supple summit]

i got my deluxe for 48, aye

[foggy dust]

JSON Mod Manager updated

w00t let's go

.

[karmic quest]

I'm almost done with it.

[fierce quest]

Does this patch fix the graphics even a little bit? Has anyone tried?

[supple summit]

i saw that haha

[foggy dust]

lmao

[supple summit]

it got worse

[potent spear]

I would suggest you take a look for yourself

[foggy dust]

Yeah free login bonus

[fierce quest]

Bruh

[karmic quest]

I did not get that copper

[foggy dust]

(jk. imagine tho)

[supple summit]

no joke

[sly vigil]

i dont even know what this is

[foggy dust]

Read patch notes

[sly vigil]

I've played for like 5 hours

[foggy dust]

Refinement token = free lvl 4 upgrades to gear without expending mats

[sly vigil]

no I come here to complain not read things dont be silly

[foggy dust]

based

[small jolt]

DLSS Balance mode + RR + FG all in 4 310.4 ver + shadder toggler + RenoDX: I have no complaint

[supple summit]

i got a little more

[supple summit]

mee too but these rocks man

[foggy dust]

Lagerverpflegung

[supple summit]

yeah i'm in chapter 5 at the beginning and my camp is almost maxed

the camp itself is the tutorial for the game tbh

every game mechanic gets presented in there

i've seen a few of these 10 or 20 things the game doesn't tell you and was like, ahh cool, i've seen that, yes i already know that etc. ... xD

[foggy dust]

Bruh how. I'm sending peeps on missions. Though I did not do the duo games. I won once, somehow.

I refuse to go into that inn again

[supple summit]

duo is piss easy

[foggy dust]

Whomever designed that game was Satan's lover.

[supple summit]

seriously

[daring orbit]

An update, how exciting 🥳

[supple summit]

if you really struggle in duo and just want it done, play and always call and only hit the suspect button when your screen turns dark. game lets you win that way 95%

it's poorly coded

[fallen knoll]

The npc always cheat in duo

Just accuse when they grab the sticks from the side

Ez silver

[foggy dust]

Real men play this

Good ol' days

[sly vigil]

Real men invest at the bank at high risk then blame globalists and AI when they lose all their money

[foggy dust]

Don't even need RTX gpu to play it

[supple summit]

i grinded my first 500 silver and turned it into a gold bar, gave it to the bank after registering for another 100 silver an account and put it in on medium risk and forgot about it. 2 ingame weeks later i have already 11 bars in the account

[foggy dust]

Yeah I did the same. HAve not checked the bank in a bit tho

[supple summit]

every 3 ingame days it gets updated

my camp has in every category 100k+

[foggy dust]

I spawned in 1k silver and 5 min later tax man got me. Due to the timing I thought they put in some fun "anti" cheating in the game, but nah, just random timing. And it's seemingly just a one-time payment of 50 silver regardless of the amount of money you have when the npc inevitably approaches you

[supple summit]

missions go infinite

[sly vigil]

Tax man comes after you eventually, just like me IRL with HMRC

[supple summit]

he already came, i paid 50 silver, lol

[sly vigil]

never pay, borrow against your assests then leave the debt with your progeny like a real scumbag

[supple summit]

but my reputation is at 100 in hernand

nahh, i am a nice citizen and pay my taxes

[fast geyser]

Damn the game looks a lot better since the update, especially with the rain. The devs definitely listened to people.

[sly vigil]

https://giphy.com/gifs/AriMWk29u1igeqHuzH

[supple summit]

they did, i enjoy the movement changes, not too overdone but overall a bit snappier

visuals in the distance look better but they effed up close detail lod's etc.

[rapid pulsar]

RR still has that smoothing effect, pain

[supple summit]

that oil painting kinda look, yeah

[woven ice]

what happened to RR? it has so much more shimmer after the update it's crazy, is it because they changed the preset from D to E?

[turbid hatch]

is it just me or did they make the game feel wider (lol?)

[supple summit]

but i can't go back to normal lightning with rtx

rr looks so much better overall

[shut python]

finally fixed my game vibrating

[supple summit]

it feels like the jump from going over 60fps the first time

you can't go back

[supple summit]

camera and fov changes, aye

[shut python]

guess i had a genral nvidiaprofileinspector active and it was fucking with the dlss and rr
Reset it to defaults and it looks better but some shadows with RR still flickering

[turbid hatch]

do not like lmaoo

[fast geyser]

Actually disregard what I said. I think the bloom effect from RenoDX made it more visible, but when the weather is foggy it's a mess. And with normal bloom we can't see the rain...
with alternative bloom/without

[foggy dust]

Forge knows. He's only in the starting village. He requested saves like 6 hours ago and someone hooked him up with a link

[foggy dust]

????

[supple summit]

Pywel needs me, cya all next time.

[karmic quest]

Anyone know how to put those cores inside weapons?

Its all greyed out for me still

[stray grove]

Gotta add a slot to it

[karmic quest]

I haven't done 1st quest of CH4 YET THO

[karmic quest]

I have them

[supple summit]

go to a witch and unlock these slots first

[supple summit]

not needed

[karmic quest]

I have unlocked them

[supple summit]

only for abyss crafting

[supple summit]

go back to the witch

and put them in

[lyric acorn]

pinned addon is the one you want to download?

[foggy dust]

When you guys got to CH8 and got to the first quest, did you accept the ||Nissan Silvia|| or the ||Skyline R34|| as a reward?

[stray grove]

@lyric acorn New game update made most fixes not work .. hdr related one work still

[karmic quest]

Yeah now I can, ty

[gleaming rivet]

camera mods are broken😭

[pure sundial]

It's too bad you can't disable some of the effects like vignette during takedowns when you're in photo mode, I love taking action shots

[strange crow]

there are texture pb with this patch no ?

[subtle sinew]

PA is just spoiling us with these textures

https://klipy.com/gifs/bellisimo-titifernandez

[pure sundial]

Bro what the fuck

[fleet jacinth]

7 years of optimization

[pure sundial]

Surely they can hotfix that hahah

mine only gets that bad if I look at it up close

[subtle sinew]

it's a little more visible with displacement map off

[foggy dust]

https://klipy.com/gifs/tom-delonge-blink182-1

[karmic quest]

Bosses about to melt kkkk

[lavish lance]

So did the patch break everything or does upscaling look better now? Waiting for install.

[foggy dust]

Set models to low and you won't see the issue now

[subtle sinew]

I don't know what kind of asinine texture compression they're using but it ain't it chief

[foggy dust]

@lavish lance

[karmic quest]

An yone know best way to farm small bone?

[subtle sinew]

close your eyes and you won't see the game

[foggy dust]

It's like they made the rocks out of voxels as well.
