From Software (Sekiro, ELDEN RING, ARMORED CORE VI, NIGHTREIGN)

[minor sky]

Currently working on overhaul

gonna move over to macleod boynton for grading

[marsh frost]

is sekiro actually different ?

[minor sky]

i only own sekiro and ac6 on pc

don't wanna update all of them anyway

just gonna add the new stuff to sekiro for now

[minor sky]

kind of stupid af that they use a lutbuilder for such simple code

[marsh frost]

future proofing

[minor sky]

been the same for all these games

[marsh frost]

better than fake pq to save 0.1ms

[minor sky]

they do something worse than fake pq

they use a lut for pq

[marsh frost]

Do they use luts a lot

[minor sky]

lut for tonemap, lut for color grade, lut for pq encode/displaymap

their tonemap is just exposure, pow, reinhard, another pow

    r0.rgb = g_ReinhardParam.y * r0.rgb;
    r0.rgb = pow(r0.rgb, g_ReinhardParam.x);
    r0.rgb = r0.rgb / (1 + r0.rgb);
    r0.rgb = pow(r0.rgb, 1 / g_ToneMapParam.y);

[lost mural]

duuuuude

[marsh frost]

simpler is better

[minor sky]

250 pw, 300 ui, 1000 peak
vanilla / reno old / reno new

  float3 reference_color = renodx::tonemap::neutwo::PerChannel(color_linear, 2.f);
  color_linear = reference_color * renodx::math::DivideSafe(LuminosityFromBT709(color_linear), LuminosityFromBT709(reference_color), 1.f);

just using full purity and hue from perch to 2.f

super cheap to apply too

idk if this is final

[marsh frost]

cant see the diff on my sdr phone

[minor sky]

fire is super yellow in vanilla

let me upload 100 pw 400 peak

old / new

[marsh frost]

ya thats more obvious

Maybe check other scenes

maybe it also has pinky fires

[minor sky]

fire is super yellow in some areas

no more green in the fires

well there is some

but not as much as before

the fire glows now

wait let me adjust

[minor sky]

game is pretty bright

i'm lerping 25% strength towards vanilla tonemap now

could go all the way to 50%

old / new

[onyx aspen]

looks insane

[minor sky]

that was with highlight saturation at 50

default before was at 55

I think I'm gonna keep highlight saturation at 55

old / new

highlight saturation at 55 might be too much

sdr / new

@solemn cypress

didn't add any new sliders

just hardcoded the hue shift and blowout

[hexed cloak]

Yeah 50 looked better to me

[minor sky]

Accidentally placed the user sliders after film grain

[solemn cypress]

Ayyy let’s go

Thank you very much

I’ll check it out in a few mins, will donate a bit as well, as promised

[solemn cypress]

btw am im not sure if im wrong on this but is sekiro meant to be played with d93? it feels a bit like it @minor sky

[marsh frost]

idols look too blue ?

it also looks less detailed than vanilla

[minor sky]

I’ll expose the blowout and hue shift parameters

Need to be autistically tweaked

[minor sky]

Any Japanese game could potentially be d93

[solemn cypress]

I be autistic like that

[onyx aspen]

isn’t there something in the code that tells if a game was made for d93

[marsh frost]

d93 matrix

[minor sky]

It’s like gamma mismatch

[lost mural]

just tried it
finally no need for special k so reshade could properly recongnize the hdr format

[minor sky]

Ya for whatever reason even though it uses NVAPI I can still override swapchain

[minor sky]

gonna have highlights and highlight saturation default to 50 now

sdr / vanilla hdr / renodx

• adjusted blowout and defaults

[solemn cypress]

based

gonna check rn

[solemn cypress]

i think highlights was fine but yeah saturation was a bit much im only using 51

[minor sky]

Make sure the idol’s blue isn’t too saturated

Needs to blow out enough so the detail is visible

[smoky tangle]

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Was struggling so much with getting a good HDR with Sekiro, and that last file works great.

[solemn cypress]

lol @minor sky

no big deal since it only happened through these gaps but yeah thought id report it

[minor sky]

Let me try something

If I clamp negatives

It might fix

[solemn cypress]

if i reduce highlight sat to 49 its normal

maybe thats a hint

[minor sky]

oof can't view cause I'm not at the right time of day

you're gonna have to test this

[solemn cypress]

oge

send build

[minor sky]

oh wait

might know what it is

maybe idk

[solemn cypress]

did not fix it

[solemn cypress]

can i send you my save file somehow maybe

[minor sky]

ya

[solemn cypress]

ill test this

if it doesnt work ill figure out how to send save

hmm no

sent save file in dm

[minor sky]

ok so replacing the save file is aids and requires some hex edit bullshit

might have another unfinished save I can use

[solemn cypress]

lol fr

sadge

you know what location im in from the clip?

does time of day change there over time in the game?

[minor sky]

ya mt senpou

it changes over the course of the story

seems like i'm not blowing out enough anyway

highlight sat 50 / 49

more detail visible with 49

first see if this build that adds an extra clamp here fixes

[solemn cypress]

oh maybe its because

my blowout is at 0?

because at 1 it goes away immediately

[minor sky]

shouldn't require that

[solemn cypress]

ok

yeah well

still broken sadly

[minor sky]

oh wait i'm dumb

wasn't even editing the right shader

try this

[solemn cypress]

bro i hate that i cant quit to desktop

[minor sky]

alt f4 works fine for me

[solemn cypress]

always have to go back to the main menu and look at the intro

[minor sky]

oh right the fromsoft shit that tells you not to alt f4

[solemn cypress]

yeah probably, it always complains about it tho

xd

[minor sky]

its not even giving me that warning

we could get rid of the vanilla ui blending

that's custom stuff they did for hdr

we can just replace it with neutwo under ui

[solemn cypress]

mewtwoo

https://tenor.com/view/mewth-gif-10061982

[solemn cypress]

❌

[minor sky]

• increased blowout

[solemn cypress]

it reduced it a little bit maybe?

but still there

dont worry about it i guess i can just run blowout at 1

[minor sky]

gotta figure out what's actually doing it

might just be in the ui blending which comes after

I can rewrite that

[solemn cypress]

but why would the UI do that just when you look throw that "window"

[minor sky]

no idea

[solemn cypress]

🤝

that makes 2 of us

[minor sky]

• added luminance scaling
• adjust blowout/hue shift

[solemn cypress]

u didnt gib autism hue slider

[minor sky]

not needed

[solemn cypress]

oge

[minor sky]

i realized when it was doing pow in the tonemapper

its hue shifting in the opposite direction

since its increasing highlights per channel

making the fires more pink

hue correcting that undoes that

I still needed some hue shifts but now it looks good

[solemn cypress]

loading game up rn

[solemn cypress]

oh that fixed the sun in the senpou location

[minor sky]

sdr / vanilla hdr / renodx per channel / renodx by luminosity

[solemn cypress]

hmmm i be getting some banding in the sky i just noticed, not dlss related, checked with it off

looks really weird

[minor sky]

is the dithering enabled

[solemn cypress]

which dither

wait wtf my nvidia dither is disabled

nvidia trolling me

[minor sky]

the mod has a dithering slider

grain type

either dithering or film grain

[solemn cypress]

it is but its not really doing much

i dont really see much filmgrain even at 100

maybe ill have to add lilium filmgrain shader on top

the dithering in nvidia driver didnt help with it

[minor sky]

ya ritsu set default film grain strength to a third of what we usually set it to

[solemn cypress]

is the perceptual filmgrain static lol

[minor sky]

wait film grain isn't working

ya

[solemn cypress]

yeah was boutta say sumn aint right

lmao

[minor sky]

ya ritsu forgot to set the random variables

[solemn cypress]

happens to the best

[minor sky]

either that or I messed something up

[solemn cypress]

no it was like that in the original build as well im pretty sure

i dont think it works in elden ring n shit either

[minor sky]

think it was just ritsu

[solemn cypress]

[minor sky]

ya

I see

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

[solemn cypress]

in elden ring i just used a filmgrain shader

i didnt actually think anything of it

[minor sky]

• fixed film grain

[solemn cypress]

goat

does that fix it for other games as well?

or just sekiro for now

[minor sky]

ya, though the tonemap improvements don't apply to those

[solemn cypress]

yeh makes sense

[minor sky]

vanilla hdr / renodx

[solemn cypress]

weird, i dunno what this is about

film grain works

but its still banding

if i enable DLAA and especially preset M it gets real bad

have to use K

[minor sky]

let me upgrade render to 16 bit

[solemn cypress]

[minor sky]

don't think it really helped much but try

[solemn cypress]

alright 1 sec

[solemn cypress]

ayeee youre the man

its perfect now

and this is with DLSS M

which was even worse before, the screenshots i shared before were all dlss off

[marsh frost]

wtf

16bit matters

[marsh frost]

how much power draw is dlaa m

600w ?

its like 850w on my 5090

though im on lightning bios so its 10% higher than the real power draw

I think a little bit more hue shift would look better

[solemn cypress]

500 ish

[marsh frost]

native hdr is still more detailed most of time ?

[solemn cypress]

?

[marsh frost]

renodx should be more detailed for you

2500 nits peak

but at lower peak i find native to be more detailed

maybe reno is using a higher shoulder idk

[solemn cypress]

looks flawless to me

but so does native

i think

havent done much with native

say like the idols they look just as detailed on both

[marsh frost]

native idols look more detailed for me

you can try lower the peak

[solemn cypress]

bluds screen clipping

[orchid geode]

what method are you using to get DLSS?

[lost mural]

which mod are you using to implement dlss in here?

[winged rover]

Huutaiii SekiroTSR adds DLAA
https://www.patreon.com/posts/sekirotsr-v1-1-0-126625276

But I don’t know if it works with RenoDX maybe 1.2.0 ver does

[minor sky]

I should add rgb9e5 for amd users

Since rgba16 doesn’t work on amd

[minor sky]

which location are you testing

vanilla / reno

made hue shifting and blowout stronger here

wait accidentally had saturation at 6

anyway here vanilla is more detailed than it was in hirata

vanilla / reno

anyway here's what I have

[solemn cypress]

What changed?

Just hue and blowout?

[minor sky]

added lut scaling and lut strength sliders, added gamut compression before lut + decompression after to preserve wcg before lut

[solemn cypress]

[minor sky]

oh still forgot to move film grain after user grading / tm

[solemn cypress]

musa trolling

[minor sky]

never beat ac6

guess I can update that at some point

[solemn cypress]

same

i bought it recently

because someone said its banger

forgot who tho

[minor sky]

its very good

[solemn cypress]

mightve been u

[solemn cypress]

boutta load the game up in a sec, should i wait for this change or just play

[minor sky]

• fixed film grain

[solemn cypress]

big diff

im like 99% sure d93 is the correct choice in this game, been checking in a bunch of locations

[minor sky]

lilium would know

[solemn cypress]

like top of ashina castle where you fight genichiro with all the snow around you

its way too warm with d65

looks weird

should be more white/blueish

imo anyways

@minor sky what you think

[minor sky]

ya looks more like you would expect on the right

no way to know unless we see what monitors they used

[solemn cypress]

[minor sky]

maybe then we can see if they default to d93 or something

but that's normal in japan

but they also could be aware of that

idk

who knows

[solemn cypress]

for elden ring i think i used d65

but maybe that was wrong all along kek

ill have to recheck that game

[marsh frost]

snow isnt blue irl

[lost mural]

the purpose of colorgrading doesn't have to imitate real life

[marsh frost]

i just dont believe sekiro is d93

theres a late game map already looks super blue on d65

[marsh frost]

new hue shifts look perfect

[solemn cypress]

It’s not orange either bish

[onyx aspen]

snow isn’t blue or orange

[solemn cypress]

Need d79

Middle ground

[marsh frost]

its not actually orange on mine ?

[solemn cypress]

You know what I mean

Shut up

[onyx aspen]

your brain is playing tricks on you because you are switching between them

try opening the d65 first alone it will look natural

[minor sky]

you can't switch between d65 and d93

you have to wait for your eyes to adjust

[young loom]

is this different from https://discord.com/channels/1161035767917850784/1379097072854372473

and does it work with elden ring ray tracing?

[solemn cypress]

no and no

its just updates to sekiro mainly

[tiny idol]

question, so this is universal and will work across both Nightreign and Sekiro? was looking for Nightreign mod but Nexus shows no update since June 2025

[minor sky]

Only Sekiro has been updated so the new sliders aren’t gonna do anything in nightreign

Nightreign is all the old code

[tiny idol]

ok gotcha, makes sense. i never used the old one so idk which version i should use if i wanted it for nightreign

@minor sky i think the shortfuse renodx wiki shows a snapshot from january, idk whether i just use your recent one or that?

[minor sky]

Use snapshot

[polar prairie]

@minor sky this Mod covers all From Software games?

[minor sky]

i only updated sekiro

[polar prairie]

I need it fo Sekiro anyway

[minor sky]

the other mods are still the same as they were before

[lost mural]

any plans for elden ring?

[minor sky]

don't own it

don't wanna have to fitgirl it

whenever psycho gets pushed

I'll move the mod over to that

and it'll be easy enough to ritsu to port the sekiro stuff to elden ring

[lost mural]

what's psycho, i'm not in the loop on that 🙂

[minor sky]

some new tonemap stuff shortfuse was working on

[lost mural]

nice!

[young loom]

dark souls 3 reno please? 🥺

[marsh frost]

i tried to mod ds3

ended up giving up

[young loom]

its really that bad?

i tried ds3 lighting engine but it kept crashing immediately on launch

[marsh frost]

no its not related to modding

[young loom]

and apparently i'm the only one with that issue

[marsh frost]

i lost interest in that game

and didnt want to learn more

so i just gave up

[young loom]

understandable its a hobby after all

[onyx aspen]

really only after 1000 hours?

[marsh frost]

1200 hours

[marsh frost]

maybe 1300, also played on the ps4 for at least 100 hours

heres bloodborne

i ported my saves to shaps4 now

[marsh frost]

its been 10 years since i was obsessed with fromslop games

[onyx aspen]

holy fansoftware

[marsh frost]

not really a fan now

not particularly a fan of elden ring

i think the open world design isnt good

and i dont like the combat

and nightreigh is like, not interesting

[onyx aspen]

what about ac6

[marsh frost]

good game but too less content

didnt play too long

[solemn cypress]

DS3 has lighting Engine which has afaik HDR, though it’s still early and I think in paid beta or sumn

Pumbo worked with Ragevitamin on the HDR for DS2 and 3

[young loom]

yeah i tried that but it keeps crashing and no one in that server could help me

i think theyre mostly focused on updating ds2 lighting engine becasue ds3 hasnt received an update in like a year

[solemn cypress]

yeahhh rage is only doing DS2 right now, once hes finished he wants to port all the pathtracing stuff etc to DS3

sad that its crashing for you :(

[young loom]

i got ds3 because it was 50% off for the first time in forever

i'll play it when ds3 le comes at least as a beta

now i gotta wait for ds2 to be on sale

its ok i know those mods take a while it was just odd that even as an alpha it seems to work for most people

[obtuse lodge]

Would anyone mind sharing their settings for Sekiro? I have Reno installed but it still just looks very flat to me so not sure if I’m doing something wrong

[solemn cypress]

Restart your pc and load up sekiro again

Trust

[obtuse lodge]

I did that but it still doesn’t pop like some of the screenshots I’ve seen in the server. I can tell toggling Reno off and on does something but the changes are almost imperceptible unless I’m really focusing on the screen exactly as I’m toggling it

All other Reno mods are amazing on my monitor so that’s why I’m convinced I’m doing something wrong

[solemn cypress]

Can you show a screenshot

HDR one

[marsh frost]

this game has a semi dynamic time of day

[onyx aspen]

i thought it changes when you advance the story

[obtuse lodge]

I know this isnt the best spot but I was in a hurry so I just took them at the first place I loaded in. Hopefully it shows because for whatever reason HDR screenshots just dont load properly for me on Windows 11, even using the Reshade screenshot feature

Reno active

Reno off

[onyx aspen]

try this #1484495867586281493 message

[minor sky]

Are you using this version

that version fixes the washed out bug

[obtuse lodge]

I was using the version that’s on the GitHub page. I replaced that one with this one and now my saves won’t load lol. As soon as I load in the game just crashes. I put the GitHub one back in and the save loads again. I remove the GitHub one completely and it loads. Weird

[marsh frost]

it does

[naive garnet]

does the mod work for armored core 6?

haha i guess i got my answer 😄 hope it ends up being a thing in the future

[minor sky]

I thought armored core 6 worked

Maybe rt doesn’t?

[marsh frost]

ac6 has no in game rt

its garage only

[naive garnet]

testing again

the github mod worked but not the one posted here

but re-testing

game is very buggy with HDR lol

was washed out had to restart PC

@minor sky something is causing the fog to go crazy

on this version

it's just a lot of fog ?? lol

[minor sky]

Ya the one posted here is only updated for Sekiro

[naive garnet]

Fair 😄

[naive garnet]

this looks really good thou

the github one works fine 👍

Thank u for the mod

[minor sky]

its ritsu's mod

I just added some tweaks for sekiro

which I guess will get ported to the other games at some point

[naive garnet]

Thank you for the tweaks 😄

[vapid garnet]

any chance this gets updated to support RT on Elden Ring

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twt-reaction-meme-funny-begging-crying-gif-11151243012681431164

[marsh frost]

no

rt is a meme in elden ring

supporting that makes no sense

[vapid garnet]

idk bout you but rt in indoor scenes makes a subtle yet pleasing difference. In the end if u got gpu headroom to enable the setting why not use it?

[marsh frost]

It adds boiling/noise to the foliage

and rtao is applied on top of regular ssao

Its just more contrasty indoors tbh

not actually pleasing

[young loom]

I liked how it makes the grass look more grounded

But yeah I'd rather have reno

[hollow dust]

@minor sky Is the code merged?

[minor sky]

No it’s in a branch called fromsoftrewrite I think

It’s only Sekiro though

Also it’s forcing swapchain to fix NVAPI. Idk why it just works here

But might not work with Elden Ring or ac6

[hollow dust]

I'll check it with nightreign

[hollow dust]

Vanilla / RenoDX

[onyx aspen]

replay incoming

[hollow dust]

V3.0.0

• Fix NV HDR not engaging correctly
• Update tonemapper
• Film Grain

[minor sky]

probably should remove the luminance scaling option

looked off in sekiro

[minor sky]

the red cloth that the candles are on looks weird

looked better with per channel

[hollow dust]

It's optional let's keep it

[solemn cypress]

looks great

[marsh frost]

maybe a bit more blowout/hue shifts

spells like ||Bayle's Flame Lightning|| look a bit off

[hollow dust]

Pics?

[minor sky]

maybe time for psycho

but will probably need to force bt709 hue shift though

which means it won't look much better

the color choices are too deliberate in souls games

especially for spells

[lost mural]

in RE too 🙂 although the current Reno versions for those look fantastic

[minor sky]

ya I have to adjust psycho17 to add all the sliders and stuff I need

then add it to a bunch of games

[lost mural]

i personally haven't tried it, don't wanna install cyberpunk
is it a major improvement?

[minor sky]

cyberpunk was on old stuff

so in cyberpunk its a big improvement

[lost mural]

nice

[hollow dust]

https://github.com/MohannedElfatih/renodx/tree/fromsoft

[minor sky]

Do you have a link to psycho 17

It’s buried somewhere in club room

[hollow dust]

Better to take it from crimson desert

[marsh frost]

on my phone now

basically orange vs yellow

[marsh frost]

Sorceries generally look fine with whatever tonemapper, since the textures themselves are already quite desaturated

[minor sky]

Bright purple turning blue would be an issue though

[marsh frost]

can test gravity spells

[marsh frost]

but they probably arent very purple

Sorceries look cyan in sdr

you'd assume they are blue

but they are just cyan in fact

[hollow dust]

Vanilla / McDonalds / PsychoV17 defaults / Pyscho v17 1.1 cone response

@minor sky

[polar prairie]

does cone response look a little too contrasty or am trippin?

[velvet marten]

looking at the graph, i think so

[polar prairie]

actually it resolves a bit more details zooming on it

[marsh frost]

PsychoV17 defaults looks good in the first scene but produces pink hues in the second scene

[hollow dust]

Peak 800 / Peak 2k

Hues change based on peak

[slate grail]

sekiro is not there for me

[minor sky]

can force hue shifts with this version of psycho and it has more sliders. I also replaced naka rushton with reinhardpiecewise, then restore untonemapped luminance, then apply user grading sliders, then n2 maxch to peak

[hollow dust]

Vanilla / Old luminosity / PsychoV17_custom

Removed some params because I couldn't be arsed to make sliders

[minor sky]

Hirata estate in Sekiro is good for testing

[solemn cypress]

woah

that looks alot better i think than that super yellow fire in vanilla

[marsh frost]

unfortunately it also makes orange pink

[hollow dust]

Psycho doesn't improve it much

[forest verge]

Would it be possible to combine ray tracing in Elden Ring with Reno? Or to implement this type of ray-traced shadow with Reno?

[minor sky]

probably have to fuck around with root signatures to get ray tracing to not conflict with reno

either that or you make it so reno has no cbuffers and thus no sliders

meaning it would have to hijack the in game sliders

[forest verge]

Would you want to do that? I think it's a lot of work. RT in this game is usually only worthwhile in the open world, and even there you don't always see it clearly. But I think it improves the atmosphere in the game.

[minor sky]

don't own the game

i played it on console

only own sekiro and armored core

I downloaded elden ring from other sources to try it on pc

but the rt was awful

also I tried the rt on ps5 pro

foliage shadows become pitch black

[onyx aspen]

bad rt tbh not worth the trouble

spend that performance on unlocking fps

[marsh frost]

ya the rt is just bad

[grave zephyr]

Hello guys, someone pls help me. I was trying the Dark Souls 2 lighting engine to use hdr and it looks great, but I would like to only use the hdr, so is there a way to only use hdr so we can play the game without other changes?

[flint garden]

Nope

[hollow dust]

V3.1.0

• Fix RT in Elden Ring

@minor sky Do you want to integrate Psycho before I PR?

[flint oxide]

yea rt is pretty useless in elden ring

[minor sky]

ye I can do that

[plucky eagle]

Nice!

[minor sky]

gonna add psycho now

          .new_format = reshade::api::format::r16g16b16a16_float,
          .aspect_ratio = renodx::mods::swapchain::SwapChainUpgradeTarget::BACK_BUFFER,
      });
    } else if (vendor_id == 0x1002) {  // rgb9e5 for AMD
      upgrade_infos.push_back({
          .old_format = reshade::api::format::r11g11b10_float,
          .new_format = reshade::api::format::r9g9b9e5,
          .aspect_ratio = renodx::mods::swapchain::SwapChainUpgradeTarget::BACK_BUFFER,
      });
    }
  }

  renodx::utils::resource::upgrade::SetUpgradeInfos(device, upgrade_infos);
}

there also needs to be a check for if the gpu supports rgb9e5 cause not all amd gpus support

maple had code somewhere for that

also are you gonna keep the auto game brightness calculation

shortfuse and i both don't do that anymore

[minor sky]

game brightness 250, peak 1000
vanilla / n2 / psycho

[minor sky]

https://github.com/mqhaji/renodx/tree/fromsoftrewrite

• added psycho
• made per channel default

[minor sky]

game brightness 250, peak 1000
vanilla / neutwo / psycho

vanilla / neutwo / psycho

I should probably be using bt709 hue shifts for neutwo instead of bt2020

it looked better on purple highlights when I did that in death stranding 2

psycho is nice

blue lights don't turn violet

none of the weird blue to violet stuff

[minor sky]

Could just use bt2020 or bt709 hue shifts with psycho

[marsh frost]

it should be purple here, since its a plasma weapon

plasma weapons are all purple in ac6

while laser weapons are blue, different types of weapons have different colors in AC6, making the same makes no sense

[rain tendon]

psycho/Newtwo/Vanilla

[marsh frost]

order is messed up ?

[rain tendon]

Same as above coral wepons

[marsh frost]

3 looks like vanilla

[rain tendon]

Maybe

ah reverse

fixed

[marsh frost]

there are four types of energy weapon colors basically

plasma/laser/pulse/coral

[rain tendon]

Oh yah I forgot about pulse

[marsh frost]

musa had it posted

the pulse blade

[marsh frost]

this

[rain tendon]

Have to crank saturation to get close to correct. (Kawasaki shoots Laser and plasma at full charge)

[rain tendon]

We forgot about the yello ones the stun weapons

[marsh frost]

plasma rifle left and laser rifle right

[hollow dust]

Why not? I like it.

[forest verge]

It's really cool that you've implemented a fix for RT in Elden Ring. Thank you so much and great work!

[flint oxide]

How exciting

[solemn cypress]

Very excited to continue to not use the broken ahh RT implementation

[ornate storm]

On github there is no guide for installing RenoDX for Elden Ring

I'm worried about getting in trouble when connecting online

What do i gotta do to disable multiplayer in Elden Ring?

[solemn cypress]

Hmm I’m always offline because I use FPS uncap and ultrawide and DLSS/DLAA mod n stuff so I couldn’t tell you

Playing online ain’t worth it for me

[ornate storm]

How can i set it to permanently offline?

Just in case

[solemn cypress]

you on steam?

cmd /c start eldenring.exe & rem %command%

[ornate storm]

Yea

Thank you so much!

[solemn cypress]

put this as your launch options

this will start it offline without the anticheat

[ornate storm]

Great

[ornate storm]

Thanks

[solemn cypress]

[weary locust]

Hey guys! I started playing Elden Ring and the game turns grey when i turn on HDR ingame settings. Anyone knows what should i do?

[marsh frost]

cant reshade because of eac

so you have to be offline

[marsh frost]

https://discord.com/channels/1408098019194310818/1486668882776293558

[minor sky]

@hollow dust I can replace neutwo with just psychov and have it force hues from bt709 tonemap

[hollow dust]

Go wild. You have better eyes for color

[marsh frost]

n2 looks fine to my eyes

psychov looks kinda wrong

not sure how forcing hues from bt709 tonemap looks though

[minor sky]

the max channel n2 stuff I'm doing now has issues with colors that are pure red, blue, or green

[marsh frost]

maybe a little bit too saturated

[minor sky]

like in death stranding 2

there are these red lights on some enemies

they end up being pure red

instead of properly blowing out

[marsh frost]

its fine in fromsoft games i think

[minor sky]

ya it's also too saturated, but I can tweak parameters for that

[marsh frost]

psychov looks wrong here

it turns purple into desaturated blue

[minor sky]

ya I'll just force different hues to fix that

[marsh frost]

n2 looks too saturated there

you can see some pink there

i think those games require different parameters

[minor sky]

for n2 I'm forcing a fixed amount of blowout and hue shift

which I shouldn't be doing anyway

psycho with hue shifting is probably the answer

for whatever reason devkit isn't loading changes in ac6

so I guess I'll have to rebuild

[marsh frost]

in elden ring it might be particularly tricky

[minor sky]

can't get good comparison pics though

[marsh frost]

spells like Bayle's Flame Lightning or Placidusax's Ruin should look yellow

current n2 looks orange

the icon is yellow at least (the laser not the fire)

[minor sky]

vanilla / neutwo / psycho

this is with bt709 float3 purity_hue_reference_bt2020 = renodx::color::bt2020::from::BT709(renodx::tonemap::ReinhardPiecewise(color_linear_bt709, 5.f, 0.18f));

now it's indigo instead of light blue / cyan

using a bt2020 tonemap as the reference color seems better

vanilla / neutwo / psycho
purity_hue_reference_bt2020 = renodx::tonemap::ReinhardPiecewise(color_linear, 4.f, psycho17_config.mid_gray);

[solemn cypress]

ive a tough time deciding which i like more

vanilla looks ass tho

[minor sky]

float3 purity_hue_reference_bt2020 = renodx::tonemap::ReinhardPiecewise(color_linear, 5.f, psycho17_config.mid_gray);
vanilla / neutwo / psycho

[hollow dust]

Indigo's hard to see

[minor sky]

ya

guess we'll just stick to neutwo for now

• tweaked tonemap

vanilla / neutwo / psycho

[flint oxide]

What a day two reno dx updates in one day

What a time to be alive

[minor sky]

vanilla / neutwo / psycho

psycho is so clean

[marsh frost]

still needs to be more purple i think

n2 looks too pinkish

[minor sky]

problem is it blows out to white in sdr/vanilla where it would show that nasty purple color

meanwhile psycho looks great but may not be lore accurate

[flint oxide]

im really liking the new psycho v

forgot to look at the new film grain

[minor sky]

https://github.com/mqhaji/renodx/tree/fromsoftrewrite

• add ui visibility and hue emulation method slider

[versed quail]

Anybody got some settings for sekiro to go by? Pretty new to HDR and wondering how to configure RENO in game. If there’s a guide or anything of the sort please direct me.

[minor sky]

defaults

just set peak to whatever your display is capable of

game and ui brightness are preference/viewing environment

203 is the "standard" but I find it way too bright

I do 100 usually

[solemn cypress]

Thanks for cooking

I’ll have to try this in ER soon

[flint oxide]

Its looking real good imo

[marsh frost]

do you have any methods to improve the lut scaling

the current one actually makes the visibility worse

[onyx aspen]

right looks much better

there shouldn’t be much visibility in darkness, thats why the lantern exists

[flint garden]

I'd argue the visibility is even better on the right

[marsh frost]

you are blind then

you can barely see the grass near the tree on the right

[onyx aspen]

could be the classic woled black crush

[marsh frost]

its not

right is still nowhere near perfect black

waveform of right

[flint garden]

Bbbbbbut the details

[minor sky]

Ya I’ll mess around with it

[solemn cypress]

? i can see perfectly fine there?

[minor sky]

try this

don't have elden ring to test lut scaling

[marsh frost]

worse than native

and still raised

[flint oxide]

definitely not seeing that, where is that?

[marsh frost]

a bit weird

though it does increase the visibility

[flint oxide]

Where is this?

[marsh frost]

Recluses' River Downstream

[minor sky]

Does lut scaling increase wide gamut a lot there

How does scaling off vs on look

[flint oxide]

ok

[flint oxide]

that doesnt look good, but im not seeing the same thing

[minor sky]

does half strength look ok

[marsh frost]

walk forward

[marsh frost]

no still weird, also i found those luts look different with n2 or psycho

[flint oxide]

ok now i see what you are saying

[marsh frost]

vanilla/N2 lut scaling off/N2 lut scaling 50

[minor sky]

might have to settle on partial lut scaling

too cursed

hmm

[marsh frost]

well i need to check sdr

[minor sky]

for the lut

[marsh frost]

wait a sec

[minor sky]

its using gamut compression and decompression to keep wide colors

I'll make that a toggle so you can see if that messes anything up

[flint oxide]

im getting better results with jpn modern imo

[marsh frost]

why do those luts look different though

[flint oxide]

no nvm

[minor sky]

the tonemap is different before the lut

were they different before

[flint oxide]

it seems to be better if i turn lut scaling way down

[minor sky]

oh i did mess up some of the lut scaling params

[marsh frost]

SDR (not in an hdr container)

none of them matches

[minor sky]

oof

i'll have to download the game

anyway try this

[marsh frost]

those luts dont look that bad in sdr

[marsh frost]

doesnt do much

actually this kinda looks worse

[marsh frost]

well this at least makes reno with lut scaling off matches sdr

its broken before i think

N2 game brightness 250 with lut scaling off/ vanilla brightness 4

native is more contrasty because of itm ?

[flint oxide]

Do you think its good to use Marty's Exposure Fusion?

i kinda like how it looks with reno

[median nexus]

I am assuming this is not safe to use online?

[flint oxide]

definitely not

cant use a reshade add on

[median nexus]

Bummer

[flint oxide]

im playing uw and with dlss too, so none of those work online anyway

have you tried "seamless co-op"?

[median nexus]

Yeah, it’s nice for co-op with friends but for solo I like to play vanilla

[flint oxide]

yeah same here, but im not playing without UW and Reno

[minor sky]

oh i forgot about something

nvm no I didn't

[minor sky]

how do I fix the dpi scaling issues in elden ring and armored core

without injecting anything

[minor sky]

@hollow dust is final_sdr supposed to have if (HandleFinal(float4(HDRScene.Sample(SS_ClampLinear, TEXCOORD_1.xy).xyz, 1.f), UIScene.Sample(SS_ClampLinear, TEXCOORD_1.xy).xyzw, SV_Target, SV_Position, true)) { return SV_Target; }

or was that just there for testing

and should the us crt and jpn crt be removed

thinking it should just be called white point and say D65 and D93

[marsh frost]

i dont have dpi scaling issue in those games

[minor sky]

i'm at 175% and the game renders at a lower resolution even if it says 4k

unless I lower dpi scaling

[minor sky]

neutwo / psycho

[flint oxide]

ngl i dont see the difference

[minor sky]

the hue of the glowing effect

it's purple with neutwo but blue with psycho

[onyx aspen]

try the high dpi scaling option in the exe 🤔

[sharp frigate]

wait, elden ring has bad hdr? i thought it was pretty good last time I played it?

[marsh frost]

not bad

but you can still improve it

[marsh frost]

check gravity sorceries

[marsh frost]

im at 200% and its fine

[hollow dust]

Yes. Game doesn't engage HDR until main menu so logos are still SDR

[flint oxide]

starting to get my parry timing down on radahn

[minor sky]

anyway I'm prob done making changes
https://github.com/mqhaji/renodx/tree/fromsoftrewrite/src/games/fromsoft_engine

use display commander if you get the washed out bug

[flint oxide]

i think it is looking pretty good

[uneven jetty]

JPN Modern looks so nice in Sekiro, it suits the cold environment well (makes a lot of sense)

I prefer it to the orange tint of US

[wintry scarab]

Same. And I always thought the white point thing was just a meme but I actually like it in Sekiro

[low pike]

does HDR work with ray tracing?

[minor sky]

ritsu just added support in the beta we're working on, its the pinned version

[minor sky]

@hollow dust I don't have anything else to change so you can upload to nexus

[low pike]

THX for all the great work

[verbal oxide]

is there a way to get this to work with the erss-fg mod? currently turns my game mostly into a black screen

[flint oxide]

Unfortunately the feature you need with erss fg is hdr bypass and it a feature of the pay walled version of erssfg

[toxic perch]

Hey apologies if this is asked a lot, but does anyone have the bug where the Elden Ring's HDR is super washed out when you launch it? I've looked up like a million fixes and nothing works. I have a second monitor, and my primary AW3225QF. Any help would be super appreciated

and follow up question, I went to the pinned message and found some hlsl files but am not sure whre to put them...

[onyx aspen]

#1484495867586281493 message

[onyx aspen]

use the .addon

[toxic perch]

thank you!

[toxic perch]

I have DC installed, unsure where to place the addon or the hlsl files. assuming the game install folder, but not sure if I have to select them in reshade or not. any help here would be very much appreciated

[onyx aspen]

you don't need any hlsl files only the .addon64, put it in the folder you installed reshade in

[toxic perch]

huge help, thanks. once it's in there do i need to do anything to load the add on or configure it in game? or will dc handle that on it's own?

[onyx aspen]

once you are in-game click HOME button to open reshade menu and go to renodx tab to configure

DC is only needed to fix washed up image caused by nvapi

[toxic perch]

got it i think that's where my confusion was, thought the addon had to do with DC. last question - will dc fix the nvapi issue by default or does it need configuring?

[onyx aspen]

by default

[toxic perch]

you're the best thank you!

[rancid nebula]

anyone have a tip to get elden ring to launch? the anti cheat wont let me launch it

[minor sky]

make a copy of the main exe and rename it to the battleye exe namestart_protected_game.exe

[daring hollow]

Hi guys I'm trying to find the RenoDX mod release for Elden Ring Could someone please point me to the correct channel or link? Thanks

[placid breach]

I just installed RenoDX and reshade for Elden Ring and it wont start, any ideas?

[onyx aspen]

what a beautiful screenshot

[placid breach]

Thank you sir, that worked. So you can only use RenoDX and reshade in offline mode then?

[onyx aspen]

yeah

[placid breach]

Ok thanks for the help, appreciate it

[rotund crane]

which engine option in reshade?

dx11/12 or vulkan or which

[onyx aspen]

dx11/12

[lethal kernel]

hello, i wanted to try out renodx for nightreign, however:

i see it enabled/ticked on in reshade/addon, but i cant access the sliders for tweaking, they are simply not there
hdr in-game is greyed out, hdr never worked in nightreign (restarting pc etc never worked for me). i dunno if this is the problem for renodx not working..?

Any help possible? thx

Edit: im sry im blind, didnt see the new tab at the end.....
Anyway, unless i can get hdr working, renodx simply wont work 🙁

[minor sky]

Might need exclusive fullscreen enabled in game in order to turn on hdr

[lethal kernel]

strangely, the display settings wont save....?
whenever i close the game, the resolution resets.
the ini configuration option "read only" is ticked off....
it should apply the new settings in the config....idk why it keeps resetting to fullscreen 4k...
i read, that changing from windows into fullscreen may fix the hdr bug, but i cant even try that

[brisk marsh]

what is the difference between the pinned renodx and the one provided by RHI for sekiro?

bc anytime i try the one from rhi my screen will just stay black or white

[hollow dust]

Pinned one is newer

[unborn oxide]

Okay the latest pin does work for me with RT

So that's good

[opaque niche]

Is the latest (pinned) version broken in Sekiro in regards to the UI? The UI seems to be rendered as stretched to the full HDR range. The game itself looks OK, but menus, HUD, subtitles, everything is overblown.

[topaz loom]

@hollow dust ac6 rt broken still

[onyx aspen]

literary the most useless setting in the game just works in garage not even gameplay

[unborn oxide]

I'm still running it with RT on in Elden Ring and so far it seems fine

[topaz loom]

I wanna see it

[hollow dust]

Actually for you or did someone else complain?

[topaz loom]

for me yeah

the garage is full black

i understand if u don't wanna add it tho

it's pointless

xD

[hollow dust]

Nah, I'll add it for you

[topaz loom]

just wanted to tell you

[hollow dust]

Same fix for elden ring, I just forgot to push it 🙈

Lemme know if it works so I can push

[topaz loom]

I'll try later thanks

[unborn oxide]

I've been using the one Musa posted and pinned and that one has been working for me

[topaz loom]

for ac6 rt ?

it works ty ritsu

[unborn oxide]

In my case elden ring

The previous build Ritsu posted didn't work for me

[onyx aspen]

i think renaming the exe for elden ring and ac6 fucks with gsync, the tools that disable eac all together seem to work better

[uncut urchin]

Hello, is the pinned file for sekiro the same as the one on renodx GitHub mods page? Also, I normally just apply the renodx addon and most of the time I don't change anything else but on sekiro it looks a lot darker, I did raise the game brightness a little bit but was wondering if the game og hdr is just too bright?

[onyx aspen]

yeah it's inverse tone mapping so highlights look "brighter", also their default brightness 5 is high around 240 nits while renodx default is 203
you can increase it to your liking if it looks dim

[uncut urchin]

Thanks

[smoky fossil]

any idea why i got black screen when using reno in ER ? i se ethe ui but not the game and when i desactivate reno i see the game normally

[unborn oxide]

Are you using the last pinned version in discord?

[unborn oxide]

Ah see that Ritsu has pushed an update that isn't pinned

Could try this one as well

But I've used the pinned one without problems

[smoky fossil]

will try thanks
