Crimson Desert - CHECK PINS FOR ADDON

[digital beacon]

I just bought the game ytd so not really updated on the current status. I tried using the latest version of reno and I freeze on the screen loading into the game. Currently on an AMD 9070xt. Any fix currently?

[upbeat magnet]

Saw like 4 more posts confirming the same, just on the 4090

[fallen knoll]

+10 ice defense in one go and grab like a cloak with a +5

[lime bridge]

I wonder if I has some enabled without realizing it hoenstly

I'll make sure it is on default

[kindred shoal]

i def need ice resist. I am not trying to beat him right now I just wandered out here and I def should not have lol

[low crane]

The latests pinned should work, clear cache from the amd software before installing it. i have 9070xt

[upbeat magnet]

Yeah I would def check to confirm. I had to make a default profile to set just to play this. Fully solved crashes for me.

[fallen knoll]

yeah youll need 15 if u dont wanna get frozen

[modest hatch]

unrelated but for those of you have been on PC for years has there even been a generation where the second best card (like the 5080) was worse than the best card of the last gen (like the 4090) before ?

[low crane]

Actually, nevermind, its a new pinned i see. Havent tested that one yet. The previous one works tho

[pure sundial]

Yes I'd love to see dogshit LOD's even closer

[lime bridge]

I reset to default just to be safe thx

[kindred shoal]

for sure

[digital beacon]

So they unpinned the old one right? Cause I couldn't find it

[mortal wolf]

no flash on door entry, but uh.... a bit too slow to adapt 👴

[lime bridge]

Some of the glazers of this game really live in another universe I swear

[low crane]

This works 100% with 9070xt

[digital beacon]

Thanks!

[pure sundial]

Ay I'll take it

[mortal wolf]

it might be a bit too real

[pure sundial]

even with the adaptation speed turned up?

[mortal wolf]

haha, was 30 seconds for dark, 5 for light

[pure sundial]

damn lol

[upbeat magnet]

This. I cannot believe the devs thought it appropriate to push the last update with the shimmering being so terrible.

Almost makes me question if they have some ass-licker dev sitting in this disc giggling to himself “good luck fixing this dogshit, modders”

Obligatory inb4

[dreamy field]

wow the issue with RR is even visible inside the depth buffer

[pure sundial]

light feels pretty good with 60 speed but yeah dark is a bit gnarly lol

[mortal wolf]

exiting a bar into broad daylight feels like.... exiting a bar into broad daylight

[kindred shoal]

lol can you post a video?

[mossy gust]

man, this rain is dogshit

[pure sundial]

Clipping rn one sec

[kindred shoal]

wtf happened lol

[pure sundial]

For anyone curious

[kindred shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/van-blood-sport-scream-angry-gif-12324023

that is hilarious

lol

[pure sundial]

"are you looking at me" dawg I can't see anything

[neon whale]

is it me or is RR preset E complete ass

graphics are way worse than before I feel like

[upbeat magnet]

It’s fucked rn

[neon whale]

this is the first game I play where my eyes really hurt when playing it. Shit is a blurry mess

[woven moat]

They overcooked it

[lime bridge]

I turned off the parallax and suddenly preset E looked totally fine

[mortal wolf]

• Tonemapper: PsychoV-14
• Contrast Adaptation: 60
• Auto Exposure: Custom3
• Adaptation Speed: 50

[neon whale]

I hope when my 4K display arrives the situation gets better

[upbeat magnet]

It’s a pile of shit

[pure sundial]

Is this different to the one you just sent?

[upbeat magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-shades-off-poop-pile-jeff-goldblum-ian-malcolm-gif-17408803

[stray grove]

@neon whale 4k wont fix the game for you 😅

[mortal wolf]

yes, 2x

[pure sundial]

alright

[neon whale]

can you pin this? so when I come home from work I can find it easily monkaS

[neon whale]

yeah but I play at 1440 DLSS quality. 4K DLSS performance should have a slightly higher resolution before the upscaling part

so my copium is that shit will be slightly less blurry

[dreamy field]

still blurry on 4k too

[stray grove]

@neon whale depending on monitor size it might look worse lol

[neon whale]

[upbeat magnet]

Sorry to break it to you, regardless of upscaling preset, personally, it’s still horrendous.

[dreamy field]

RR is very blurry

[wanton apex]

the new update is still crashing on amd here

[upbeat magnet]

Tried up to 5K.

[dreamy field]

id rather use NRD over RR

[pure sundial]

yeah much better

[dreamy field]

they should replace the vanilla denoiser with NRD

[neon whale]

is the FSR implementation as shitty as the DLSS one?

[dreamy field]

its basically all of the upside of RR without the blur

[pure sundial]

I did like the speed of adaptation going outside in the last version but this is pretty good

[mortal wolf]

now needs a slider to be more like custom1 for dark scenes since the flashbang is solved

[pure sundial]

what was causing it?

[neon whale]

that's seems perfectly fine TBH

[kindred shoal]

yea that looks good

[mortal wolf]

basically history is useless when you enter a loading area

[wanton apex]

anyone with a amd gpu is able to play with the latest update?

[lime bridge]

Was about to say I think custom 1 still looks great in dark scenes once settled

[polar shadow]

whats the best way to get notifications when there is updates for this?

[stray grove]

@polar shadow check the pin

[ruby tusk]

Much better, progress lookin good

[lime bridge]

If you have the memory hat thing, the transition out of it back to the normal looking world is still a bit funky. Minor issue though

[spring meteor]

hang from below the window

[polar shadow]

yeah sure but thats manually ig ill just keep checking

[modest hatch]

Expedition 33

Fight me

[fallen knoll]

Does anyone know if stats on the dagger apply to the main weapons

i.e Crit rate

[spring meteor]

CD is pretty much the opposite

lmao

wouldn't want it any other way, tbh

[tame vault]

I've been away with family and not played for a few days. Has update busted visuals? I play max with RR

[mortal wolf]

holy crap this loading system is horrible.

[worldly vapor]

pretty good gameplay

[woven moat]

Sadly yes

[ebon zinc]

rr has presets ingame?

[neon whale]

with the latest patch the switched the default preset from D to E

[spring meteor]

didn't know it even had presets

[neon whale]

so if you activate RR you get E by default

[ebon zinc]

ah okay thanks

[tame vault]

Can we just revert to D?

[ebon zinc]

are we able to disable parallax with reno or do we need another way

[tame vault]

What's broken?

[woven moat]

Displacement maps, the tessellation effect is obnoxious and blury this patch, particularly with RR enabled.

You can turn it off with a mod but it makes surfaces look alot flatter, but in some way more detailed.

[ruby tusk]

no hud mod on nexus

[woven moat]

You revert to D using profile inspector, I haven't tried it personally but those hat have said it didn't fix that issue.. I don't think it's a RR specific issue, more so the game engine.

[tame vault]

Ah, that sucks

[woven moat]

Yeah kinda spoilt it for us.

[tame vault]

I was really happy with it before!

[woven moat]

Same , they should have left it alone.

[low crane]

Must be an NvAidia problem. No such problems on amd at this moment

[pure sundial]

yeah because you guys dont have rr lol

[polar seal]

new update has fucked me hard

[low crane]

wrong

[pure sundial]

you have the inferior rr

[spring meteor]

Pearl Abyss pls

[stray grove]

@low crane sure you dont have those issue on amd 😅

[spring meteor]

fucking decouple RR from Cinematic+ settings

[cyan crown]

There's a mod for it apparently on nexus

Atleast to decouple RR from Max

[dreamy field]

does it work?

[cyan crown]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/214

[fleet jacinth]

it might exist but does it work?

with how super good this engine is, who knows what doing that breaks

[cyan crown]

It works but read comments. Personally don't use it as I think my perf is enough given its a single player game (120s with FG 2x, 1440p and cinematic/max obviously since RR enabled.)

[mortal wolf]

Tonemapper: PsychoV-14
Contrast Adaptation: 60 or more
Auto Exposure: Custom3
Adaptation Speed: 50 or more
Low Light Exposure Limit: 50 or less

Warning: Outdoors feel like outdoors

[kindred shoal]

does that mean its mega bright? lol

[long drift]

omg

[neon whale]

Warning: Outdoors feel like outdoors
WHat does this mean? 😭 I'm a basement dweller 😭

[fleet jacinth]

outdoors doesnt have a look

[cyan crown]

Walks outside; Flashbang

[pure sundial]

fuck yea

[low crane]

https://klipy.com/gifs/james-franco-the-interiew

Outdoors? What even is that?

[pure sundial]

bin64 my favourite folder we meet again

[mortal wolf]

jesus, even sdr looks good (well, sdr brightness on hdr)

what have i done

[pure sundial]

you got me excited

[cyan crown]

As a fellow sdr enjoyer, I must take a peak.

[mortal wolf]

vanilla hdr / psycho11 sdr / psycho14 hdr (70 adaptation contrast) / psycho14 sdr (70 adaptation contrast)

eh.. borked the comparison

[dreamy field]

comparison with ssdm on vs off with shader toggler, its quite noisy and more pixelated with it on with this update

[dreamy field]

only a minor issue ive noticed is whenever you teleport anywhere, for the brief second the colors get very very wrong but not the actual teleport animation itself thats fine, just the terrain around the player and objects etc...

[pure sundial]

oh yeah its bright

[fleet jacinth]

this is where i shake my fist at steam

why cant i just.. not update the game?!

let me play the release version that was better

[dreamy field]

i think u can use steamcmd for that

[subtle sinew]

I reverted to the version from before this weekend

[pure sundial]

5 PM in game

[subtle sinew]

definitely doable

[kindred shoal]

I cant go back on the gameplay updates lol

Aint no way

[fleet jacinth]

and saves were compatiable?

thats my worry

[kindred shoal]

But also im not having these awful graphics bugs so

I guess im lucky lol

[subtle sinew]

I saved by mistake with the new update and it was ok but granted I had done very little

[fallen knoll]

im trying this out so far im not seeing any difference

what should I be looking out for

[subtle sinew]

dude platforming is so bad without the tighter controls

[fallen knoll]

tryna compare No max with Low lighting settings vs Default and Max lighting

[subtle sinew]

but at least the game doesn't look like ass

[inner latch]

Hey guys i cannot keep up with the chat, there is a good version of the new addon for amd users?

[fallen knoll]

platforming? u dont just spam force palm and fly across

[stray grove]

@inner latch pinned comment

[subtle sinew]

there was one where the platforms appear at your feet and you couldn't really reach the other side without it

[cyan crown]

You can turn down lighting from max and RR stays on theoretically

[pure sundial]

idk how you make the section in the top left smaller

[clever rapids]

ray reconstruction on basically disables dlss 4.5 you are running 4.0 RR preset E now.

[polar seal]

hmm the last 2 renodx dlls from today have been crashing the game on load after clearing shader cache - might use an oldie

if possible...

[vivid iris]

idk if you're using the psycho11 option for SDR I added, but I did something a bit weird with it. Did psychov naka rushton to 4.f and then reinhardextended by luminance down with white clip 4.f.

[cyan crown]

Did they change the preset? I didnt manually change mine for RR and by default it was D according to dlss overlay

[kindred shoal]

I have been using forges build since before the 1.01 patched dropped all today lol

[gleaming marlin]

The are some Skyrim 2011 lods before mods came
Out

[kindred shoal]

I never updated and my game has been great

[dark bobcat]

Hey guys the smoke bugging out with stuff all over camera/other visual bugs since patch. They're only due to the patch right? Not also due to Reno or the shadertoggle, yes?

[mortal wolf]

didn't even look

[vivid iris]

it was really blown out in SDR without doing something a bit weird

game is bright

[mortal wolf]

this is brighter still, but there's an exposure slider

then again i'm on adaptation contrast 70

[low crane]

This one crash for me, amd.

[fleet jacinth]

i hope they will make the game playable by friday

[dark bobcat]

Anyone?

[fleet jacinth]

show some examples. i havent heard of people having that issue

[pure sundial]

Liking this reno addon a lot, thanks shortfuse!

[mortal wolf]

Tonemapper: PsychoV-14
Contrast Adaptation: 60 or more
Auto Exposure: Custom3
Adaptation Speed: 50 or more
Low Light Exposure Limit: 50 or less

Warning: Outdoors feel like outdoors

Supports SDR (though didn't care to match too much)

[dreamy field]

ive only had issues with the games SSDM otherwise thats about it tbh

[fleet jacinth]

Seabed Survey Data Model

[dreamy field]

lol

not sure why but whatever they did this update made the ssdm even more pixelated, and have dark outlines around the materials, which inside the outlines is the non SSDM textured object, but only inside them, very weird

[fallen knoll]

the difference is 30 fps lol but i genuinely see no diff

[dark bobcat]

Weird, thought folks were talking about it up there for sure earlier. Don't have my own proof rn, I'll see.

But it's lines going around the screen

Glitching

[hardy owl]

Hi there guys, what does the latest pinned mod changes?

[cyan crown]

If you're talking about the no forced max lighting mod the difference is supposed to be performance gain.

[worldly swan]

seriously, the sun flare has been missing since post patch renodx hdr, nobody here noticed?

[covert ruin]

i think it’s known

[clever rapids]

patch notes mention change to e now. so assumed it does. didnt check it myself

[mortal wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/dormir-gif-18132707

[cyan crown]

Ahh didnt read them fully tbh only about gameplay stuff.

[clever rapids]

what game setting do you reccomend for optimal visuals ?

[fallen knoll]

Yes but what im saying is theres no difference in look between Low and Max lighting quality with no forced mod

check the ALT description of the photo i sent for comparison

[neon whale]

i have lens flare disabled

[fallen knoll]

almost free 30fps gain

[cyan crown]

Yea that's good then haha

[clever rapids]

also. am i crazy. or did the latest patch INCREASE the pop in everwhere ? even on max i see foilage pop in etc when i didnt before.

[cyan crown]

Maybe indoors gets funky, but its already kinda bad indoors

[polar seal]

does anyone have a previous version of the reno dll file maybe lazors last?

[clever rapids]

why would you need that ? game engine changes broke a lot of it with the patch

[hardy owl]

Please don't traumatize me anymore

[low crane]

This is the latest working build for amd.. Still some black flicker going on sometimes.

[polar seal]

thank you kyle!

[clever rapids]

so im not crazy ._.

[dreamy field]

ive no clue what this is but the shader compiler options look, odd lol

[clever rapids]

i hope someone figures out how to override these "optimisations" they are doing. x3d cpus can eaily handle what they were doing initially....

[thin kelp]

for what?

[dreamy field]

i wonder if this is just leftover files or just a weird workflow they have going on

[marsh sinew]

RR/ standard dlss 310.6 v 310.5.3 any tangible difference?

[pure sundial]

not really

the framegen dll is pretty big tho

less latency can go up to 6x and less vram usage I think?

[frozen birch]

Hello I'm using nvidia gpu and i've got an ips with about 450+ nits which one should i use the one on pinned or shortfuse version? 🙂

[hardy owl]

Why have they removed the issues with the blurry and flickering when using RR and upscalers?

https://crimsondesert.pearlabyss.com/en-US/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=68

It was there yesterday, why have they removed it?

[pure sundial]

they did remove it what the fuck

[ruby tusk]

Its still in their discord

[thin kelp]

this one or from pins is latest?

[neon whale]

SHORTFUSE ONE IS LATEST

oops caps

[thin kelp]

kk

[upbeat magnet]

They acknowledged the shimmering/flickering issues in their discord. Hopefully it can just be resolved via a hotfix.

[low crane]

Shortfuse latest aswell as the latest pinned CTD on AMD, fyi.

[pure sundial]

Night sky feels a bit too bright imo @mortal wolf Any of the sliders effective at making it a bit darker similar to custom2?

[hardy owl]

I don't understand why they are taking so long to fix something so basic man

[upbeat magnet]

It’s only been 24h.

[hardy owl]

Wrong. Its been there since the game came out

[stray grove]

i just noticed when trying to sell stuf from inventory at a merchant moving through my item is laggy AF like the game keep switching fg on\off

[upbeat magnet]

I’m aware of flickering issues in the last build and on release with DLAA. I dont believe this issue is the same, and this issue now affects all presets..

[pure sundial]

Idk man they have to fix an issue with something that's baked into the engine I don't think it's just a quick fix

[muted crow]

chill we dont know how it works, just give them time

[upbeat magnet]

We also cant say how deep the issue is. What might seem simple to us on the surface could prove to be a deeper problem in-engine.

[hardy owl]

This is from the first or second day of the release

Screenspace displacement was there from day 1

[dreamy field]

it definitely seems worse now than it was before though

[ruby tusk]

It is worse

[upbeat magnet]

You don’t find it notable that it went from a smaller and limited issue to now a wider issue after the latest patch?

[dreamy field]

this doesnt cover the odd dark outlines im seeing around basically every obect that has ssdm but its already super pixelated and noisy, on vs off

[dark bobcat]

1. It is worse.
2. Wasn't enabled for folks using RR.

[thin kelp]

still black screen uff

Jon pinned version works

oh wait i disabled addon

[sly vigil]

I fucking knew it was only an issue for RR users

[low crane]

I posted a working build for amd some posts up.. but that has some issues too, but its playable.

[thin kelp]

will try tnx

[sly vigil]

Was saying all yday I didn't see any flickering

The game doesn't even look that bad with standard RTGI now they cleaned it up a bit tbh. I always thought RR looked too blurry anyway wasn't worth the 40% perf hit at all

Now it flickers as well? Pass.

[thin kelp]

yours also didnt work but anyway

[fleet jacinth]

imo it was worth it, now.. i cant even play the game anymore until they fix this

[thin kelp]

will wait for next versions

[low crane]

What gpu?

[sly vigil]

Wasn't worth it at all unless you have a very fast GPU the image quality takes a shit, you basically need to have DLSS which is implemented poorly and/or run framegen to blur the image even more

[fleet jacinth]

yep, just a big mess overall

[sly vigil]

Id take a stable and sharp image with less latency and higher frames all day long

[woven moat]

That first shot looks amazing

Is this with the latest one fuse posted ?

[pure sundial]

I'm still on the second one before that one but essentially the same thing yea

[woven moat]

Ok thanks will give it a try

[upbeat magnet]

Anyone with shimmering issue currently in game?

[pure sundial]

ya

sure

[upbeat magnet]

Toggle between model quality low vs ultra/cinema?

[pure sundial]

okk

[upbeat magnet]

Curious what it does to the shimmering on your end

[pure sundial]

yep one sec

let me try get it to day first so it's more visible

[upbeat magnet]

Yup np

Cleared shimmering for me but royally fucked other things lmfao

[pure sundial]

Low

Ultra

Cinematic

Everything else Cinematic + max lighting + RR, DLSS quality 3440x1440

@upbeat magnet

[upbeat magnet]

You da man. Thanks for checking. From the footage it looks similar to what I’m observing as well. Less visible shimmer, more pop in.

[pure sundial]

All good

[karmic quest]

Bro why is your ground so detailed, are you disabling the SSDM or whatever the shit was called

[ruby tusk]

yeah he disabled skill based match making

[woven moat]

Lol

[karmic quest]

Bro give me a break

[late marlin]

The raytracing Mode without RR looks so much better since the Update. Way less weirdness going on

[pure sundial]

optiscaler -1.2 mipmap bias, forced 16x anisotropy

[karmic quest]

Where can I adjust the mipmap, I think it was in Martins mod with POD80?

[pure sundial]

In optiscaler

[late marlin]

But on a 5070 ti (5000 series in General) it still gives These red artifacts in dark areas, right?

[pure sundial]

No, not noticable when it's dark

I play on a 5070 ti

[karmic quest]

Where is it exactly kind sir

[pure sundial]

search up optiscaler github

[late marlin]

But you know what i mean, right? This Driver lvl anisotropic filtering bug

[pure sundial]

It's through optiscaler not nvpi

[woven moat]

Is optiscaler worth using ?

[karmic quest]

Ahh Im actually dumb.

For some reason I thought its in reshade

[pure sundial]

Lol all good

[karmic quest]

Are you running Martins mod too?@pure sundial

[pure sundial]

it uses the same dll as reshade so just rename the optiscaler dxgi.dll to winmm.dll or d3d12.dll when installing so it works with reshade

[late marlin]

Wait... So you can force anisotropic filtering to all Games and it works without the artifacts on a 5000 series GPU? That's huge wtf

[pure sundial]

nah

[karmic quest]

Amazing, thank you

[upbeat magnet]

Bro what the fuck why does low not cause the shimmering

Do they gimp near-field models for performance to allow higher draw?

[pure sundial]

Yeah I suppose so, only installed it for this game

[pure sundial]

Because it basically removes the displacement maps causing the issue

Which is what people have been doing with shader togglers

but the downside is it reduces quality in other areas too

[woven moat]

NPCs look bad though

[upbeat magnet]

Ooooooooooooooh, I see

[late marlin]

I was just asking AI If there is a way and it didnt tell me about Optiscaler in this case, so thank you for telling me. Definitely trying this Out.

[pure sundial]

Yeah no worries

[woven moat]

I just forced 16x anis though NVIDIA app, didn't see a difference tbh

[upbeat magnet]

That actually makes sense. Thanks for doing that check for me, makes sense why it solves it

[woven moat]

I'm in a 4080 tho

[upbeat magnet]

Basically a lesser way of solving it than the shader toggle, it seems.

[pure sundial]

yea

[late marlin]

I HATE the bad Texture filtering in most Games. Why do I even Turn the textures to max if they go blurry after a few feet? I hate this so much

[pure sundial]

cuz this game optimised for 8 gb gpus and consoles

I am using like 7 gb of my 16gb vram

[woven moat]

Eww brotha

[pure sundial]

the LOD's and textures are dogshit, they should at least give us the option if we can afford to run higher texture resolutions

[late marlin]

Almost every other game is the Same that doesn't have a dedicated AF Option. Ugly

[upbeat magnet]

Also big upvote on optiscaler. Was running that for stalker 2 and didn’t even consider it for this game. Next on the list for me lol

[pure sundial]

tbh I don't even know if forcing 16x anisotropic actually makes a difference in this game, I just turned it on never tested it

[woven moat]

What does optiscaler do

[pure sundial]

the textures are still really bad

[woven moat]

I'm a newbie to all this

[pure sundial]

.

[cerulean night]

yeah i hate seeing all my Vram just sitting there while LOD's pop in and out

[pure sundial]

Take this for example

[thin kelp]

6800xt

[upbeat magnet]

Tbh I actually didn’t notice the textures until this update and I really started looking at them separate parallax. Absolutely disgusting.

Source engine looking textures

In 2026. Kill me

[stone comet]

MHWilds eating 24gb of my vram and still see polygoned LOD's

[mental dune]

why DAFUQ

they didnt make possible for PC to make use of more VRAM

[cerulean night]

this is also true aha 🥹

[late marlin]

Can you also adjust the dlss sharpen effect in Optiscaler ?

[mental dune]

they could add shit like " INCREASING PAST THIS POINT WILL MAKE THE GAME RUN WORSE THAN STATED"

[woven moat]

Probably made for consoles and ported to pc

[stone comet]

Also the clutter system legit works like a 6m radius around you and continously spawns in procedurally generated stuff 😭

[pure sundial]

You can, but better to use RCAS in renodx

Dlss sharpening is inferior

[upbeat magnet]

PA devs out here just

https://tenor.com/view/cleaning-lazy-sweep-sweeping-hiding-gif-11120468

[late marlin]

For a simple sharpen Filter i use liliums HDR contrast sharpen. Is there a dedicated sharpen Filter in the renodx section ?

[woven moat]

Yes

[mental dune]

https://klipy.com/gifs/yeah-bwoi-grin-1

PA devs after dumbing down the gameplay and see increased sales

[pure sundial]

yeah they added it directly to reno so you don't have to use it separately in reshade

it's the same lillium's rcas

[stone comet]

Theyre not even dumbing it down they're making it overall more fun

They even added custom animations for air stabbing and make it an actual feature

[woven moat]

It does wonders for RR at performance, makes it heaps crispier without looking oversharpened

[pure sundial]

The gameplay changes have been really good to be fair

[upbeat magnet]

I think gameplay wise they’re doing great stuff tbh

[pure sundial]

they listened to the legendary mount feedback super quick as well

[upbeat magnet]

+1

[mental dune]

ye, but they objectively were dumbed down compared to release

[stone comet]

And this is the 2nd big ass patch within roughly a week which is nuts

[pure sundial]

Yeah they turned a bug into an actual feature pretty cool

[woven moat]

I just want legendary textures

[late marlin]

Oh, OK nice. Have to look it Up. But all the Options in renodx should be fine right out of the Box, right? I should Change the peak nits to the nits of my TV and thats it, right ?

[woven moat]

Correct

You can adjust it to your liking

[mental dune]

not even textures, just not having loading in front of me

[pure sundial]

yea but if you plan on using the custom auto exposure in reno, (which I recommend because it makes nights actually dark), you will have to download the light fix mod which is in pinned messages.

[upbeat magnet]

It seems like there were definitely some shortcomings or differences of opinion when it comes to graphical implementation, many of which are biting them right now. Thus the “sweep under the rug” gif lol

[late marlin]

I did and it look amazing 🙂

[pure sundial]

yea you should be good then

[mental dune]

https://i.redd.it/caayneu1w1571.jpg

[upbeat magnet]

But gameplay updates have been remarkably quick and thoughtful.

[mental dune]

CD has same shit, textures looks good when u look at everything combined , not individual

[late marlin]

Man, I wish it wouldnt be so complicated to get Special k to work with reshade. It's always such a pain, so I havent installed it yet. I would like to though

[upbeat magnet]

Agreed. Wholistic approach.

[mental dune]

ye, when i see people, " look at the ground , looks likeshit" im like bro, if u look at any npc in video game they are dumb as well, u dont go in cyberpunk and analyse how shit they are do you?

[stone comet]

it works fine now, just use latest nightly build

[stone comet]

if it doesnt usually just renaming reshades dll from dxgi to reshade64 would work too

[stone comet]

im running SK, reshade and optiscaler with 0 issues at the moment

[late marlin]

I tried it in wuthering waves, and it was so hard. Renaming stuff and choosing compatibility Things in Special K. This makes my brain explode.

[mental dune]

RR still looks broken andshit

[stone comet]

i promise you its easy now just a launch type deal

[frozen thistle]

@jade magnet i dont have pagedown button how can i change that

[stone comet]

at least for CD

[plush flint]

so for the latest reno build, is there any recommended tweaks ?

[late marlin]

So you mean reshade nightly or Special k nightly?

[stone comet]

SK nightly

[cerulean night]

I think steam screenshot made it worse but im also getting banding in the sky. 🙁 shame because otherwise this scene looks great

[mental dune]

i got much better bsandings

[upbeat magnet]

Objectively though, optimization and fidelity are two completely different directions, and it seems like they wanted the best of both which is why some of the gripes we have are a thing. 7GB VRAM = optimization but at the cost of pop-in within a 6m radius. High view distance = fidelity, at the cost of lower res textures, etc.

[mental dune]

when i switched from 8 bit to 10 bit

[upbeat magnet]

It’ll get worked out in time when they find their stride now that the game is out though.

[pure sundial]

try lillium banding filter in reshade

[late marlin]

Do the Special k settings reset in Games when I install the new Version?

[stone comet]

uhh nah

theyre saved in their own individual profile folders

[mental dune]

ye, but sureeeely they could add for PC more customised setting and let us choose how we want our game running

[upbeat magnet]

Agreed, a bit more nuanced control rather than presets for certain features could be nice and not out of the realm of possibility with time.

[pure sundial]

They seem pretty responsive to player feedback, I feel optimistic they will do something about this

[upbeat magnet]

They added back the shimmering to the issue list since someone said a couple hours ago it had been removed

It’s on their list and they are literally actively working on it as we speak.

So I’m also optimistic

[late marlin]

Oh so these are only the DLL, i Always use the Special k tool Version outside of the Game to start the game. This tool doesn't automatically Update the Special k dll to the latest, right

[upbeat magnet]

As much as I may throw shade sometimes for comedic effect lol

[jolly isle]

is it fixed?

[stone comet]

SK has nightly and latest, most of the nightly stuff takes a while to get pushed to latest which autoupdates

[jolly isle]

its been 24hr since the patch

[upbeat magnet]

Nah not yet

[stone comet]

shortfuse fixed a buncha stuff they just need to merge some stuff me thinks

[jolly isle]

[upbeat magnet]

Well I guess it depends what you’re referring to lol

[jolly isle]

whatever the patch broke

[late marlin]

Ok, but I still have to rename stuff tick the reshade setting in Special k with some compatibility mode, right ?

[plush flint]

Is psycho V14 the best tonemapper to use now ?

[jolly isle]

try reshade screenshot

[stone comet]

uhhh not really? just install reshade to CD

[mental dune]

ye, i understand having limited hardware so u want controlled experience as a console, but let us pc plebs customise it lol

[upbeat magnet]

Shimmering = no official fix. But you can either run with no RR, or have models at low with no mods to remove shimmer at the cost of fidelity. Alternatively there are mods that remove shaders that cause the issue.

[mental dune]

I run with lightning at MAX and it helps with shitty shadows

with RR off

[jolly isle]

I'm running everything at max with RR on

[mental dune]

u dont have visual glitch like in my video?

[jolly isle]

what video

I juust got home from work

[mental dune]

this

[late marlin]

I did, ok so Starting the game with the Special k frontent injection tool should work then? I never put some Special k dll in the Game folder manually

[stone comet]

Nah you dont need to just launch it through SK

and youre donezo

[jolly isle]

no I use parallax fix when the ground isnt stone cobbles

[stone comet]

thats not a parallax fix it just disables it completely

[plush flint]

My RR become blurry as hell on shield with the update wtf

[jolly isle]

people refer to it as that so I call it that so they know what I'm talking about

[cerulean night]

https://discord.com/channels/775961783579049994/1488101196362416148 i put a rough bug report in their discord, maybe if this issue is bothering you bump so we can get a fix

[neon whale]

wait so you just enable and disable the parallax thing as you play? that seems miserable TBH

[late marlin]

So Copy and Paste the DLL to Game folder is enough ?

[jolly isle]

the parallax disabler from the no hud mod on nexus

default was 0 numpad on the keyboard

[stone comet]

Copy those DLL's into the SK folder

[jolly isle]

I honestly just forget 99% of the time

it only is noticable if you look at a steep angle

[late marlin]

Special k doesn't work in any Games on my end though except i start These Games through this Special k injection tool

[jolly isle]

like right against the walls

[upbeat magnet]

Pretty sure people are disabling multiple shaders now with the patch- not just parallax.

[jolly isle]

and 99.9% of the time I'm not even looking that hard at the walls so whatever

[stone comet]

Thats why Im saying updating it wil help

[jolly isle]

I disable parallax and the noise toggle that fixes rain

I also disable hud a lot

[upbeat magnet]

Are you using hud or this one?

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/256?tab=description

[jolly isle]

this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/1

[neon whale]

this one I tried it yesterday and it break the smoke. if there are any source of smoke you get grey, flickering lines across the screen. had to disable it immediately

[jolly isle]

parallax off doesnt look so bad anyway

[upbeat magnet]

Fair enough. I’ve seen some positive feedback on the one I linked over hud as people claimed they were able to solve the shimmering but with other costs like the smoke issue

[jolly isle]

like, if you arent looking for it you dont really notice they arent tesselated or whatever

the detail makes up for IMHO and it also fixes the flicker

[late marlin]

But where does the Game get the Special k injection from If I don't start the Game from the Special k Tool and also don't Copy and paste the dll to the Games folder ?

[cerulean night]

no issues with smoke when i use it 🤷‍♂️

[covert ruin]

that looks cooked imo, everything just looks flat

[jolly isle]

and it also doesnt have the super bad flicker

and the rocks all have greater texture detail

but yeah its flatter

and its also while standing still in a screenshot

[neon whale]

maybe they fixed it in the end.

[jolly isle]

99% of the time I'm not just staring at the floor

[cerulean night]

unfortunatelty its pick your poison right now, flat or smeared 🙁

[covert ruin]

yeh i’m just running without RR for now

[plush flint]

Why did this update made the game blurry and flickering everywhere with RR ??

[mental dune]

fixing the flicker for RR at the cost of losing depth idk if it s worth it for me lol

[jolly isle]

RR switched to preset E

[neon whale]

they updated the RR preset to E and it's garbage

[jolly isle]

I heard you can swap it back to preset D

[covert ruin]

it’s more than just the preset tho cos i’ve tried D and still bad

[plush flint]

My god it’s atrocious on my end

[upbeat magnet]

You can, but there are costs according to a few people who have tried.

Other issues present themselves.

[jolly isle]

I just use the parallax off

at least till they fix this

[late marlin]

Preset D is way more blurry though

[neon whale]

from what I'm reading on Reddit, by updating to E they fucked stuff on preset D, so both presets are cursed

[upbeat magnet]

It’s more due to displacement maps than the RR preset.

[jolly isle]

besides, parallax off has other benefits, it makes anywhere that isn't a cobbled town look better because most of the terrain, rocks and canyons aren't flat objects to begin with

buildings and walls are just like boxes for some reason so they look flat as fuq

[upbeat magnet]

SC until fix. 🤷‍♂️

[plush flint]

RR is unusable daytime

[jolly isle]

I was leaning towards keeping it on but with the flicker with it on now... might as well disable parallax

[covert ruin]

yeah it’s either disable parallax or don’t use RR

[rugged sequoia]

I updated it this morning. Might have fixed this problem.

[mental dune]

naah, i prefer seeing this than disabling stuff and looking like random stuff put in lol

[jolly isle]

yeah it looks fine in a still image

[neon whale]

oh it's you. yeah I'm gonna try it once I come back home from work. I liked the overall image with your mod

[rocky umbra]

Dont use RR is an easy choice - performance drop is just wrong.

[neon whale]

problem is that the Reno mod is made with RR in mind

[mental dune]

is still looking good and with frame gen u dont see perceived fps loss

when using RR

[jolly isle]

all the flicker goes away

[rocky umbra]

I cant even get 60 fps with a 9070xt and 9800x3d with RR 🙁

Thats my base minimum to enable FG.

[jolly isle]

I get ~64-72/61-70 fps at Max 1440p with RR on but with DLSS Quality/Balanced

but if I use frame gen I only get like 55 FPS base for some reason

55-> 105-110 fps

[rich zephyr]

dont worry, its the same on nvidia too. RR takes a lot of frames away

[rocky umbra]

And we cant be using FSR/DLSS with RR right? because Its somehow broken?

[stone comet]

FG does have a slight hit to perf

[rocky umbra]

FG isnt quite 2x from my tests - closer to 80% i think.

[jolly isle]

well my QDOLED doesn't like anything below 60fps even though the VRR range is 48-360

it flickers

[mental dune]

i disabled that

[rich zephyr]

newest renodx version gives me driver timeout on a 9070xt. that normal?

[jolly isle]

disabling gsync?

[mental dune]

ye

no flickering

[stone comet]

yeah uh only way to sort it is lowering HZ to 120

since youre hitting 120 roughly

[mental dune]

i had random black flickering

[jolly isle]

instead you get tearing

[mental dune]

i dont see the tearing

[jolly isle]

and some people dont see the issue with 30fps gaming

[plush flint]

Forced RR preset D is way better on my end

[upbeat magnet]

I’m streaming out and no issue really with tearing tbh

[mental dune]

i have 110 fps in x3 framegen, i dont notice any tearing lol

[upbeat magnet]

At least not to my eyes and I’m playing in VR

[jolly isle]

I cant help but notice it

I'm cursed

[frozen thistle]

shader toggler off or on what you guys recommend

[jolly isle]

[mental dune]

this game works way better with nvidia tech

[jolly isle]

are you trying to get 60fps with native render?

good luck friend.

[mental dune]

i have 5070ti 9800x3d and i do 4k perforamnce with x2 framegen without RR and x3 with RR

[stone comet]

yeah you got the AMD debuff im afraid LOL

[jolly isle]

I can do like 180fps without RR

[rocky umbra]

Did they fix fsr/dlss messing with RR though? I will run RR only if the image isnt all messed up 🤷‍♂️

The performance hit has to be worth it

[jolly isle]

its absolutely wild how demanding it is

[stone comet]

the ingame lighting without RR is dogshit that's why it's so cheap

[upbeat magnet]

No

[plush flint]

RR is now a garbage

[jolly isle]

Cinematic settings with no RR is a huge FPS jump over RR on with max lighting

[mental dune]

did u try lightning MAX RR off? it helps a lot

until they fix RR

[stone comet]

i just play perma RR

[narrow token]

when is it not ideal to use 10bpc setting for my monitor? Is there any reason to be on 8bpc if monitor supports higher

[jolly isle]

isn't lighting max just pathtracing on?

I cant remember where I heard that

Im not sure if its right tho

[upbeat magnet]

RR is clamped to max, I do not believe max is clamped to RR though

[jolly isle]

the performance hit seems to imply its doing something significant though because cinematic vs max is still a hefty FPS hit even without RR

[mental dune]

light max RR off

still worse than RR on, but RRon rn for me aint cutting it until they patch it lol

[rocky umbra]

The biggest potential improvement is in HDR. Your gradients with HDR content will potentially look better with 10 bit ( im also assuming your 10 bit isnt 10 bit but 8 bit + frc). Alot of monitors suck at frc, so you might not even see a difference.

If there is no difference - simply go 8 bit for the higher fps.

[jolly isle]

those shadows are disgusting

[shut arrow]

How?

[upbeat magnet]

Almost as disgusting as flat displacement maps 🤫

[jolly isle]

I agree

[upbeat magnet]

almost

[jolly isle]

bruh acting like I wouldnt want depth AND detail

[plush flint]

Less blur and flickering, obvious when you look at your shield

[jolly isle]

I sincerely hope the fix the flickering because it do look good with depth

[rocky umbra]

@narrow token Download the displayHDR test online and check the gradient section with HDR on/off and your max fps. If you dont see a difference - go to 8 bit and enjoy the higher refresh rate 👍

[jolly isle]

also the texture smearing issue

[mental dune]

RR on

[jolly isle]

so much better

[mental dune]

ye, but i get shimmering everywhere which is way worse than indoor shadows 😢

[rocky umbra]

You mean we can decouple the lighting max setting from RR now?

[mental dune]

ye

[jolly isle]

edit: thought you meant RR ON without max lighting

[mental dune]

looks much better than cinematic and ultra, but still tanks fps

[narrow token]

legend, thanking you

[rich zephyr]

help: my game crashes with newest renodx version with amd 9070xt. anyone else having this?

[mental dune]

it s the middle ground between RR on and off

[neon whale]

AMD debuff

[cerulean night]

https://discord.com/channels/775961783579049994/1488101196362416148 if anybody else is having issue with Parallax and RR maybe bump my bug report on CD discord? hopefully we will see a fix.

i know there is something on known issues but its vague

[upbeat magnet]

It’s already in their log

As well as noted in their disc

[rocky umbra]

How - is it a mod?

[hardy owl]

Just did. Please everyone do it

[ebon parcel]

Vignette slider in the updated addon completely changes the look of the game. now it's true HDR. @vivid iris you are a genius.

[cerulean night]

"When using upscaling and Ray Reconstruction, some background elements may flicker or appear blurred." this doesnt really apply to the screenshot i posted though

[mental dune]

no, u can turn off RR and have max lightning

RR works only with max light

but max light works with RR off

[rich zephyr]

so its a known issue? or not ?

[upbeat magnet]

The entire issue is related holistically

[mental dune]

so the shadows are still worse than RR ON, but RR off and light max still give better shadows than light cinematic for example

[neon whale]

yeah apparently the addon doesn't work on AMD right now

[plush flint]

You think the RR stuff will be fix soon ?

[radiant sluice]

They removed from known issues, so lets hope so

[upbeat magnet]

They removed it and readded it.

It is actively being worked on

[ruby tusk]

It's still on the discord list

[cerulean night]

not background objects though are they? i think its best if their known issues reflects the actual bug at hand

[cerulean night]

source?

[plush flint]

Background ?😂😂

[upbeat magnet]

It is all related to displacement maps.

[plush flint]

Just look at the shield on back

[cerulean night]

uh huh...

[rich zephyr]

ok thanks for the info.

[upbeat magnet]

In order to solve the issue with RR/scaling, they need to solve the displacement

[radiant sluice]

For now I'm using https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/256?tab=description, and its working well

Well, there's a "fake screen tearing" at the bottom of the screen, but it seems it happens even without that mod, it's just more noticeable with that mod (I say fake because it happens even with gsync/vsync)

[radiant sluice]

I didn't see that they readded it, hahahahah, sadge

[rich zephyr]

you dont want color fix or anything like that in HDR..... because HDR colors already come calibrated and with the intent of the dev

[mental dune]

When using upscaling and Ray Reconstruction, some background elements may flicker or appear blurred.

still there

[upbeat magnet]

It was removed earlier

They have readded it since

[mental dune]

funny

they sorted it out

press apply

[cerulean night]

i still dont think that reflects the bug i am seeing

[mental dune]

bugged again

[upbeat magnet]

And it was also mentioned directly in their discord by the devs

[rich zephyr]

many people use hdr without knowing why.
you wand HDR to fix coloration and brightness. not hvae it broken again the same with sdr...

[mental dune]

what disc

they ahve

[cerulean night]

its not "some elements" and they are not "background"

[upbeat magnet]

Is the bug you are referencing flickering?

[cerulean night]

smearing

[rich zephyr]

even older versions of this reno mods dont work on amd cards... i guess its back to games native hdr xD

[mental dune]

i was amd lover until i got nvidia and now i understand nvidia tax

[cerulean night]

dude please

[rich zephyr]

dont get me wrong, i also have nvidia cards. but i prefer using amd atm

[mental dune]

what does amd have over nvidia if not price?

[radiant sluice]

Its working well with reno actually, GuiltySpark did a more detailed test, I just played with it and it feels good, I had RR off after the update (it was way too blurry), now its on again with this mod, it seems it doesn't change colours or something, @rugged sequoia can tell more

[upbeat magnet]

I can do the same thing dude.

[rich zephyr]

do we even need RR on settings under cinematic lightning ? i mean how heavy of an RT is it than we need to reconttruct the image ? idk if it makes sense

[upbeat magnet]

Chill, I’m aware of what you’re describing.

[cerulean night]

yes but what is the defining feature, blurred or background?

[upbeat magnet]

Blurred.

[cerulean night]

if i say big red dog, doesnt mean im talking about all red things

[upbeat magnet]

The flickering is not background related, is it?

Notice how that’s also mentioned?

[mental dune]

everyone talks about it im sure they are aware of it

[upbeat magnet]

They are capturing three symptoms in the same issue.

[cerulean night]

i think its better if the known issue reflects the actual issue at hand but ok

[mental dune]

im sure they just broke something and shipped it in the main game anyway bcs most people dont use RR on

[upbeat magnet]

I mean, that’s fine, I’m simply trying to reassure you it’s been captured.

[rich zephyr]

guys, do we even need RR below cinematic settings?

[cerulean night]

unless you work there, you cannot

[rich zephyr]

especially below cinematic lightning ?

[mental dune]

u can thave RR and cinematic light

cant*

[radiant sluice]

interiors and night looks really better with RR on, I have an oled monitor, so depending on how its blurry or oversharped, its way too distracting

RR will force max light

[upbeat magnet]

I’m sure PA will call you directly by hour with updates!

[cerulean night]

look at my blurred "background elements" here a whole 3ft from my character!

[rich zephyr]

yea, but have you tried max light (cinematic) without rr? if not do so

[cyan flax]

keep getting crashes with the latest mod in the pinned section. 9070xt user. cleared the shader cache but still crashing on loading screen. any fixws for it?

[cerulean night]

im sure youll pull more assurances out your butt instead!

[rich zephyr]

idk, performance hit on RR is way too much for me to enable it.
id rather have it off and play with quality upscaler mode, or if youre on 1440p you wont even need an upscaler if you have a 5070 card or something...

[upbeat magnet]

Just trying to be helpful and reassuring, it’s up to you whether you choose to take the information you are provided.

Not sure what reason I would have to mislead you

[mental dune]

RR off MAX light looks WAY better than RR off CINEMATIC light

but also a lot less fps

then u turn on RR, even better ,even more fps loss

[rich zephyr]

yea but what is your upscaler setting?

[mental dune]

4k perf frame gen x2 RR off x3 RR on

[rich zephyr]

thats the issue

of course your image is gonna look like shit

[mental dune]

it doesnt though

[rich zephyr]

try the other way around

[mental dune]

game has good frame gen

[rich zephyr]

generated frames have way lower resolution, you know that right?

[mental dune]

i use 4k perf which looks way better than native 1440p

[rich zephyr]

so youre esentially playing in 720, upscale to 1440p. then you use RR to reconstruct the bad image that is coming from frame generation

holy shmoly 😄

play how you want brother

i dont mean it bad

but there is a method which can give you a better image quality 🙂

[mental dune]

it doesnt lol

u can have 110 fps 4k perf

cant

on 5070ti

and no frame gen

and max light

[rich zephyr]

you can, even on quality upscaling

yes you can

[mental dune]

u cant bro i have the pc

i tried it

[rich zephyr]

you dont need RR. you can have quality upcaler

you can do this native on 1440p without RR and looks better and less noise

play how you want 🙂

[mental dune]

u claim native 1440p without RR looks better than 4k perf with RR?

and have 110 fps

[rich zephyr]

not exactly like that

[mental dune]

like i dont get waht u mean lol

[rich zephyr]

but, if your internal resolution is high enough, you dont need RR

if you framegen from performance, the generated frame will also have lower resolution

anyway, i am not here to go over settings ^^

[mental dune]

i have 50 fps native 1440p max light RR off no access to frame gen

[neon whale]

RR on and RR off + Max light is almost the same perfomance

[rich zephyr]

i do play with 4k quality fsr, everything to cinematic and max out. and no RR at 60 fps everywhere, no framegen

if i enable RR, i get like 30. on a 9070xt

[neon whale]

RR on an AMD card is heavier than RR on a NVidia card

[rich zephyr]

said who ? nvidia users experiencing same fps drops brother.

[mental dune]

i have 110 same scene RR off, 80-85 RR on same scene, frame gen x2

[rich zephyr]

and youre on nvidia?

[mental dune]

ye 5070ti

[rich zephyr]

yea see, if you framegen 80, your base is 40

you could have native 1440p without RR 😄

[mental dune]

trust me

[rich zephyr]

native is king

[mental dune]

i know my pc

[rich zephyr]

😄

[mental dune]

it doesnt work like that

u claim u know my settings that work for my pc better than me while i said i tried everything lol

[rich zephyr]

i get your point, dont worry. we all have preferences. and to be fair, ingame shadows suck

[mental dune]

native 1440p DLAA with hdr DOESNT work, its bugged, NATIVE 0 dlss, sucks fps on 1440p

[rich zephyr]

generally this game has some graphical issues i havent seen anywhere else lol

[neon whale]

not at all. AMD cards gets a 23% reduction while an Nvidia card get 15%

[mental dune]

4k performance looks better than quality 1440p, and using frame gen helps a lot with perceived smoothness

[neon whale]

here

[mental dune]

i prefer framegen artifacts over 50 fps

[rich zephyr]

thats a rtx 5080 against a 9070xt. the 5080 is a faster card ^^

[neon whale]

my brother in christ percentages are percentages

[rich zephyr]

and not by little... its a heck faster

[rich zephyr]

so youre comparing a 5080 to a 9070xt ?

[neon whale]

no I'm coparing a 5080 without RR to a 5080 with RR

and I'm comparing a 9070 XT without RR and with RR

[spring meteor]

[rich zephyr]

its 9% faster on nvidia, only math. hmmm interesting

[upbeat magnet]

This shit had me rolling ngl

[neon whale]

I mean lmao

[upbeat magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/bookio-gif-13932157847762104386

[rich zephyr]

is there a mod out there that unlocks RR for lower graphic settings ?

[upbeat magnet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/214

[fast geyser]

Is Pearl Abyss discord interesting to follow? Devs communicates on the issues at hand?

[neon whale]

does it work now? I remember when it released that yeah you could change the thing but it really didn't change anything under the hood. you would get the same FPS

from the comments apparently it does kinda work for AMD but not for Nvidia

[upbeat magnet]

I tried it briefly, didn’t notice much of anything albeit with not much testing personally, but reports claim lowering below max you lose ReStir which is essentially the algorithm that allows for path tracing.

So shit will look off

[hardy owl]

Doesn't seem so. This one is better lol

[mental dune]

RR and max light works bcs max light i heard it s some kind of path tracing

RR and lower light i didnt bother to see lol and test it myself with the mod

[rich zephyr]

maxlight alone is a huge improvement

[plush flint]

Sun is just a white dot now, cool

[zenith hemlock]

https://crimsondesert.pearlabyss.com/en-us/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=78

new patch

they fixed DLSS

[fast geyser]

And probably broke RenoDX

[zenith hemlock]

Graphics quality when using NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction and DLSS has been partially improved. We will continue to look into related issues going forward.
Improved screen appearing blurry in certain environments, flickering where the sky and clouds meet, and flickering when chimney smoke effects overlapped with nearby objects.

[dreamy field]

uh oh

WAIT, PARTIALLY/

[dreamy field]

ig well see how good partially is

[mental dune]

ye, testing it now lol

[neon whale]

Forge crashout incoming

[dreamy field]

tho what causes the blurriness is half on part of RR and a big part on the ssdm

[rich zephyr]

yea, i use native now, with exposure at 70%

[mystic jewel]

oh no, forge is gonna go mental

[hardy owl]

Partially fixed lol

[mystic jewel]

why they hotfix partially makes no sense, just do it once do it right

smh nvm

[mental dune]

still looks like shit

gg

[hardy owl]

Exactly. Absolutely fucking ridiculous

[hardy owl]

So it hasn't been fixed?

[mental dune]

check video

[plush flint]

My god, blurry deer shield 😂😂

this is without

Man I am losing my patience with this crappy situation

[mystic jewel]

[neon whale]

did you pet that dog?

monkaS

[mental dune]

look at the boxes, they shimmer like crazy lol

with RR on

[mental dune]

RR test priority

[dreamy field]

it kinda looks like the ssdm isnt as pixelated but its also been blurred in a different direction

[neon whale]

the shield is a blurry mess too

[low crane]

lol crazy times. Game is broken on NvAidia while Reno is broken on amd.

[neon whale]

no stability at all

[dreamy field]

the blur on the wood i was staring at just before this update now looks like its shifted upwards instead of all around the wood

[dark bobcat]

Guys this shimmer has been fixed with today's Shadertoggle update. It's the way to play right now, till it's really (definitively) fixed.

[ruby tusk]

I mean it is actually better

[mental dune]

it s also low quality so dont look at details, shields looks fine ig

but the shimmer on boxes is there like crazy

[mystic jewel]

pa should just send one of their devs here for a couple of hours and it would be done

[dark bobcat]

I do also want to see if chimney smoke really does look cleaner. This was also a consistent issue.

[dreamy field]

and it fixes a lot of texture blur

[ruby tusk]

Yeah the textures don't look as blurred

[dreamy field]

SSDM is like a wanna be pom but it lacks texture detail

[ruby tusk]

still blurry but not as bad as before

[main badge]

whats shadertoggle?

[neon whale]

I hope it didn't break after the update release now

[dreamy field]

seems so far like it works

[plush flint]

Reno broked ?

[mystic jewel]

theres been an update to that?

[golden scaffold]

It's so funny when your randomly hop on and read that something of an urgent matter in a game like this is a chimney smoke lol

[ruby tusk]

smoke does look better

[mental dune]

RR issue is like everywhere u go, u cant walk 100m without seeing flickering in ur face 😢

[golden scaffold]

Ah yes really need that chimney smoke to look good for my gameplay

[main badge]

its a 70€ game

[golden scaffold]

(I'm joking)

[mental dune]

people also pay 70 for fifa every year

[golden scaffold]

Could have been worse issue we could be having, I'm glad it's just a chimney smoke 😅

[main badge]

its not just chimmeney smoke unfortunately

[dreamy field]

meanwhile ssdm for tesselation 🤢

[golden scaffold]

I know I know, but it's funny. I can't stop laughing

[main badge]

I mean game is great dont get me wrong, but it does have a fair amount of graphic and optimization issues

[mystic jewel]

at least on pc we can somewhat tweak them

when you on console youre turbo fucked

[golden scaffold]

the whole situation is just you can't know if you should be crying or laughing

[main badge]

for me its neither

its not a big deal

[ruby tusk]

people still buy and play COD

[main badge]

let people do whatever they want with their money

[ruby tusk]

no

[main badge]

enjoy what you enjoy, why care about others

[upbeat magnet]

I’m crying rn but I’m going to be laughing when Forge comes on and crashes tf out on people talking about disabling SSDM is “fixing” the problem

[ruby tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-tongue-gif-5470663296754303074

[ruby tusk]

cause I care about everyone

[mystic jewel]

it's a band aid to one of the many problems, but the improvement you get when you turn it off is pretty significant

[main badge]

sorry, whats SSDM?

[hardy owl]

I love that

[upbeat magnet]

I don’t disagree, not saying it’s not an improvement by any means.

[golden scaffold]

They just pay full price to Sony to play an inferior version (I got it from keyshops at least) and just accept and enjoy the shimmery, blurry, pixelated mess like it's the best PS1 style graphics, it is what it is, console players can't be pixel peepers, they got games to play. My console buddies are almost at the end of the game already, while I'm still in chapter 3 pixel peeping

[rocky umbra]

There's another patch out 👀

[mystic jewel]

screen space displacement maps

[main badge]

what issues does it cause?

[mystic jewel]

As of right now it makes things look like an oil painting lol

[upbeat magnet]

Yes

[dreamy field]

basically tesselation but it looks wrong

[mystic jewel]

one sec lemme show

[hardy owl]

I am gonna need years of therapy to recover from those words at this point

[dreamy field]

funny thing is some roads in cities, dont even use SSDM but further on the road, the exact same texture, has it

[main badge]

its gonna be your winter soldier trigger lmao

[dark bobcat]

Lol when you just toggle on/off the displacement, and you see all the rocks around you just get fatter

[rocky umbra]

These CD devs started off great but im starting to think they're incompetent AF

[mystic jewel]

left is on right is off

[rocky umbra]

Every patch since the first big one has broken something.

[primal estuary]

I thought that was RR, like in cyberfunk

[mystic jewel]

yeah its weird

[main badge]

the fuck

is this happening in 1.01.02?

[mystic jewel]

it's what's been happening since launch pretty much

[dark bobcat]

Not for RR users, it's been off for us till 0.01

[main badge]

does it do anything positive or its outright better to just disable it?

[plush flint]

What are we looking ?

[mystic jewel]

oh shit

[vestal flicker]

The rocky wall in the back is much more detailed when it's on. Everything else is much worse😅 ...

[dark bobcat]

Does do some positive but right now its implementation is very problematic. Currently worth getting the mod to disable it.

[main badge]

oh yeah I do use RR so I guess thats why I havent noticed it

still its bad that the game seems to have been developed with RR on in mind

[mystic jewel]

it does positive stuff yeah, but the way it's implemented is just borked

[main badge]

it shouldnt have bugs like that no matter if you use RR on or off

[mystic jewel]

Yeah rocks generally look better with it on, say generally

[dark bobcat]

No, the fact that displacement was off for us wasn't even intended. We had the better experience... on accident.

[cerulean night]

What's the verdict on the new patch? Does it help at all? Does it break Reno?

[dreamy field]

did RR even use SSDM originally?

[mystic jewel]

breaks some of reno's stuff, but the hdr is fine

[dark bobcat]

like what's broken

[mystic jewel]

check pins

[cerulean night]

Newer patch

[dark bobcat]

That's what I'm saying it's been off for RR users

Not on purpose afaik

till 1.01

[mystic jewel]

yeah im in right now and it seems to be working same as yesterday, not sure about more lights

but thats outside reno

[dreamy field]

its kinda weird watching rocks partially grow when you get close enough

[cerulean night]

Perfect thanks 👍 ill give it a go

[dark bobcat]

Ah thought you mean the newest hotfix broke more stuff or something. Thanks.

[dreamy field]

light mod seems to work

[mystic jewel]

nah dont think so, but then again i might just be blind and oblivious

[hardy owl]

The patching in this game has been very disappointing so far. They have broken stuff, and they changed the horse and Kliffs animations to make them more responsive and they look visually worse now. I really hope they take more time to fix stuff because this ain't it chief

[worldly swan]

[karmic void]

https://crimsondesert.pearlabyss.com/en-US/News/Notice/Detail?_boardNo=78

[karmic void]

RR improvement?!

[hardy owl]

Does the mod to remove Parallax Occlusion still works or we need an update?

[worldly swan]

LoL

[mystic jewel]

the shader toggle? it's working fine yeah

[stone comet]

only RR update mods mightve not broken completely then

[smoky brook]

is it safe to DL new patch

[smoky brook]

didn't work for me yesterday but I posted a fix above or you can use the Martin Spielt mod

[hardy owl]

I am tired boss

[plush flint]

It doesn’t work for me, I have error for add on when launching

[rugged sequoia]

In certain ranges and angles I got horribly flickering shadows now. Definitively new with the latest "hotfix". It's only with RR on, But I can't play with the horrible lighting and nosie without RR.

It's really annoying.

[hardy owl]

So the patch not only doesnt fix the issue but it breaks the mod that fixes the issue. Fucking hell lol

[neon whale]

time to update the mod again 😭

[plush flint]

Reno + shader toggler do not load at all on my end

[mystic jewel]

I'm using martin's toggles and they fine, wouldn't know about any other ones

[ruby tusk]

works fine for me

[rugged sequoia]

Anyone else got these horrible shadows? Try hernand city place in broad sunlight. The balcony for example draws a horrible sahdow at medium distance. Not at close, not far away, but medium. And many other objects as well and also my own shadow in movement seems off.

[smoky brook]

I'm keeping steam in offline mode fuck this

[hardy owl]

Its a problem yes, the shadow lod is super short, it loads shadows five meters away from the character

[dark bobcat]

Okay. Is it just me or the update made pop-ins, especially bushes, far far worse?

[rugged sequoia]

With frame generation my own shadow has extreme artifacts now. That wasn't the case before. Tried many different settings. Mainly a problem with RR.

[radiant sluice]

Starting to feel like an "early access/beta" tester, game release a hotfix every hour hahahahha

[rugged sequoia]

Yeah, I noticed that too!

[frozen shale]

Another update just now on |Steam.

[smoky brook]

Reno should pin a game version recommended for us to all stay on

[frozen shale]

Graphics quality when using NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction and DLSS has been partially improved. We will continue to look into related issues going forward.

Improved screen appearing blurry in certain environments, flickering where the sky and clouds meet, and flickering when chimney smoke effects overlapped with nearby objects.

[rugged sequoia]

Wasnt't quite sure if I just missed it before. buit I immediately noticed it now.

[covert ruin]

guys is the shimmering gone with the update?

[smoky brook]

ugh do I update cos then I gotta fuck with depot download if I want to revert

[cerulean night]

Just to confirm Reno isnt loading for others with new update

[dark bobcat]

No... pop-ins are FAR worse right now.

[cerulean night]

?

[hardy owl]

Seriously?

[mystic jewel]

reno loads for me fine no issues

[lime bridge]

I like how it is a patch for Steam even though they seel the game on a couple other PC marketplaces

[smoky brook]

Only thing I can respect Pearl Abyss for is testing in prod

[dark bobcat]

Okay I'mma need a mod or something to increase LoDs immediately with this patch lmao

Hell nawwww

[covert ruin]

but is the shimmering fixed?

[cerulean night]

you sure your on 1.002?

[mystic jewel]

yea

[dark bobcat]

No. Get Shadertoggle for the shimmering fix.

[ruby tusk]

fine for me

[low crane]

Pinned is broken on amd

[hardy owl]

They haven't

[cerulean night]

hmmm ill drop it back in the bin folder must have done something wrong my end

[plush flint]

Ok good for me now, Reno + shader

[cerulean night]

thanks folks

[smoky brook]

This does not sound like the main jitter fest

How about the whole ground having an epileptic fit

[cerulean night]

smearing seems maybe a little better when stationary? but hard to tell

[dark bobcat]

Was already less than when moving from before. Gets worse when cam is moving, this was always the case.

[naive jackal]

lol just saw some new footage of the PT mod for Dark Souls 2, finally the game is looking like it did in the pre-release trailers 😆

[cerulean night]

Yes but seems more than before

[cerulean night]

Edges seem better than before when stationary but same as before when moving camera

[hardy owl]

How is that related to Crimson Desert?

[cerulean night]

But as I said, it's minimal/maybe not even real
Very hard to tell. But definitely not fixed

[ruby tusk]

At least they're trying

[naive jackal]

@Gonzo It's not, something to take the mind off the issues in CD for moment for a anyone interested

[earnest beacon]

How did u solve it?

[golden scaffold]

Does anyone else absolutely hate the new movement system?

It feels so wrong. Why did they change it was fine

[hardy owl]

I hate how they downgraded the animations. Kliff's now turns around in a very weird way. I don't understand why changing the great animations it had. Same for the horse

I hope someone can mod the older animations back

[golden scaffold]

They did similar thing in W3, but they kept both options.. (and both are still not as good as original CD was) now it feels like like the bad version of W3

[flint moss]

Its a worrying trend, they're trying to please the ones hating the game

[covert ruin]

the new mid air sword dash is cool though

[mystic jewel]

they're zelda'fying it lol

[hardy owl]

Exactly. Add an alternative animation toggle. But dont change the fucking game to appease the loud minorities

[fleet jacinth]

Maybe it wasn't the loud minority

[golden scaffold]

I didn't even see anyone complain about it how was this an issue??

[mystic jewel]

well, maybe asian/korean demographic was loud enough

which we don't see or hear often

[smoky brook]

platforming does seem less frustrating, you could carry too much momentum and fall off unintentionally before

[quartz tendon]

Not only that, but houses are in a continuous earthquake too apparently. Btw, has anybody an idea why Skilled in Archery is so hard? Am I missing something?

[flint moss]

Might be a hot take but that annoyance made platforming more intense which was fun

[smoky brook]

stockholm syndrome

[flint moss]

Perhaps

I just pray they're not dumbing down the game

[ruby tusk]

Make sure yall ask the devs for a high res texture pack
