Resident Evil Requiem

[brittle badge]

I remember in dd2 experimental path tracing, there was no denoiser or rr so u can just use dlss 4.5 preset l and the denoiser produced a pretty clean image

[sweet estuary]

anyone having weird texture bugs

where as you walk some textures become black

[lime nimbus]

I DDU for every driver update

I also only update drivers every 6 months or so

But DDU’ing has only positives to it, and barely takes a minute. So do it.

[wet kiln]

Yea takes like 5-10 minutes tops, I swapped to 581.42 and gained like 2-4 fps from 566.01, though preset K makes the game compile shaders every time I started it and the screen was pitch black after

[quasi lodge]

lots of negatives if you have custom NVCP settings for individual games

I suppose you could export nvcp settings using NVPI, but that could affect the efficacy of the DDU, not sure I just don't DDU unless i'm having major issues

[marble iron]

finally working fov mod https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/64

doesn't break cutscenes

[sweet estuary]

thats overkill man

no you dont need to constantly wipe your temp files

you are installing the same driver over and over again

DDU is meant to be used when driver uninstall fails

[lime nimbus]

There’s options to keep the nvcp settings as is

During ddu

[lime nimbus]

It’s alright, I don’t see the downside. Like I said, a min of my time isn’t overkill

If you head over to the official Nvidia discord, you can ask the moderators of the subreddit themselves, who ddu each time when a new driver drops.

This is not something unusual

[sweet estuary]

yeah, reddit mods... the expert authority on everything tech related

[lime nimbus]

Official Nvidia Reddit mods, most of them do it. I just wanted to let you know that it’s not a corner case. Many people do it.

[sweet estuary]

same reddit mods who delete every thread asking for help with tech but keep every single low effort post of people posting pictures of their new GPU

[lime nimbus]

I’m not saying they’re credible, but it’s a common practise.

[knotty apex]

It's stupid to do it every single time

[lime nimbus]

I do it every 6 months. I don’t update drivers every time.

[knotty apex]

"a minute" is a pretty big exaggeration

[lime nimbus]

Unless necessary.

[knotty apex]

Oh well sure that's fine lol

[lime nimbus]

Restart in safe mode, run ddu, restart again? Every 6 months? I don’t see how this is supposed to be cumbersome for me lol

[knotty apex]

You left out the every 6 months part or I missed it

[lime nimbus]

@knotty apex

[kindred bough]

Can you share the files for this? It says it's under moderation on nexus mods and can't download the file

[pulsar wadi]

if someone tried, do you suggest enabling raytracing in requeim? in re village it killed the mood by lighting things up

(or if it is worth for the performance hit)

[winged apex]

the game was authored with PT in mind so what are you asking

[lime nimbus]

What gpu you got and res?

PT looks the best, except for the first area

Rt, deeper in the game artifacted too much for me even with frame gen off

[foggy tide]

seems like it doesnt work indoors

[proven pilot]

Hello, does the latest version of REFramework still have issues with modified FOV? (Cutscenes and item prompt misaligned)
Does the ultrawide fix work well?

[pulsar wadi]

5070ti, 1440p
i know that i can run it, i wanted to know only if it ruins the aesthetic of the game (like i said, in re village by enabling raytracing the game becomes less horror and in the same time you lose a lot of fps for nothing)
but what you said makes me think that rt is better, so thanks

[pulsar wadi]

I didn't know.

[proven pilot]

PT is amazing, enable it

[pulsar wadi]

thanks, i am gonna use DLDSR 4K performance with RCAS to fight the blurryness of RR :)

[potent meadow]

does it only work in 3rd person?

playing in ultrawide i've found increasing the uw fov to 1.3 is much better and doesnt break cutscenes

[foggy tide]

it only works on the intro.

[potent meadow]

oh right

i'm using this with no other fov changes, cutscenes work fine

dont know if it will work in 16:9

i'm liking this more than 7 and 8
those games were good but i feel this is better

[proven pilot]

Thanks I'll try this

[heady arch]

RenoDX is why its called PCMR

[kind fossil]

And? What's your point?

[unkempt seal]

https://youtu.be/ULrt5SZMfew?si=1TJ2QXnKY9wfgUb-&t=204

[surreal cliff]

I saw that video and I don't understand how he can prefer RT over PT, the boiling isn't that bad and RT has a lot of artifacts

[lime nimbus]

Rt has so much more artifacting than pt later on in the game

Is there a seperate mod on nexus to remove film grain?

Or is it just the renodx one people are talking about

[knotty apex]

There is

[unkempt seal]

it was more about the item viewer

but yeah

[knotty apex]

Is he just complaining about the film grain

[lime nimbus]

So I should use that in combination with the renodx one?

Could someone please drop a link to the film grain fix mod

[knotty apex]

It is not necessary if you are using renodx

Renodx just has the slider you can set to 0

I just use the custom grain set to 30 since it looks way better when it is done after upscaling

[lime nimbus]

Oh alright

[unkempt seal]

so renodx filmgrain is done after upscaling as opposed to game's default?

[knotty apex]

Yes

It's pretty clear when you like, set the vanilla grain to 100 and then the custom grain

[stray finch]

looks stupid as fuck

just ruining creator intent

[raw ridge]

i just put only dinput8.dll file alone into directory is that all from re framework needed guys?

[knotty apex]

Yes

[serene shore]

PSA for anyone who got stutters. You need to disable and re-enable GSYNC and VSYNC through nvidia control panel. It happened for me the first time i installed reframework and the hdr mod. I thought it was a reframework issue but i also had the issue without ref.

[raw ridge]

if the yes to my question?

[knotty apex]

Yeah

[raw ridge]

ok thanks

[knotty apex]

The other files are for VR mods and similar stuff

[raw ridge]

got it

[kindred bough]

Boiling effect annoys me aswell, but still I think Path Tracing is best comproimse between all the modes (no rt, rt, pt)
There's also visible halo/ring effect especially while I'm playing Grace in 1st person and moving camera

[lime nimbus]

This has to be done everytime you restart the game?

Or just once after installing reframework?

That is, moving the DLL file

[serene shore]

I did it once after installing ref and that seems to work

[teal mountain]

I tried this and was still getting sporadic stutters unfortunately. I put an additional frame cap using displaycommander and now it seems they're gone

[marble totem]

Noob Q, which reframework version should I download? Pragmata?

[serene shore]

RE9. It's not visible until you expand the list

[marble totem]

SG

Second noob Q, with re9 should we turn on in game hdr when using with Renodx

[marble iron]

i mean in the DDU app itself there is a big text that says you only need to use it when switching gpus and not for a simple driver update

[lime nimbus]

alright I’ll just reset my nvcp

And try

[serene shore]

Is there a way to hide reframework ui from appearing every time you start the game ?

[unique snow]

yes

there is a checkbox for remembering open/closed state

should be the first or second drop-down menu

[manic oriole]

Is the 591.86 driver functioning properly with a 5080? Was it only the most recent pulled back one causing issues?

[lime nimbus]

Yes, 591.86 is functional

But reportedly, the driver pulled out gave 15% better performance on PT

[manic oriole]

Hmmm

The huge 40% performance loss numbers was exclusively on 4080/90 then?

[unique snow]

I use 595 on my 5080, works great, haven't tried anything else

[manic oriole]

595 is the pulled back one no?

[lime nimbus]

Yes

[vagrant arch]

Should I still configure the game brightness sliders or does RenoDX override them?

[unique snow]

override

Nexus Mod page explains it all

[vagrant arch]

oh, I just saw the new .addon64 file in the github releases page, thank you!

[naive fern]

hi what do you set the game brightness to?

SDR EOTF Emulation: Choices include Off, 2.2 (Per Channel), and 2.2 (By Luminosity)

what to choose here?

[abstract quarry]

Luminosity is recommended

[serene shore]

Ty man

[signal sky]

Per channel is the default

[serene shore]

Did some more restarts and problem came back. Turned off nvidia frame-gen and now it seems to be fixed

[sonic musk]

@fierce wedge Option to add the separate EOTF emulation for the UI? Honestly, I'm thinking the game might look better in sRGB but the UI is messed up then

[signal sky]

Oh, interesting. sRGB is what sdr used?

[sonic musk]

No idea

Probably not

But it does look crushed af at times

[signal sky]

Ohhhhhh gotcha

So you think for now it’s better to leave that to vanilla?

[sonic musk]

Up to preference, but I'm surprised to see how many people say the vanilla looks fine and reno looks crushed

[signal sky]

Vanilla is lifted af

[sonic musk]

More than I would expect, that's for sure

[signal sky]

The brief Reno testing I did seemed fine. Game is just dark generally

[sonic musk]

ye

But when it gets dark the shadow detail clips pretty bad

RE4R was the same really

[signal sky]

Yeah for me it’s pitch black

I think it’s intentional tbh

[velvet ferry]

I thought intentional

[signal sky]

To make you pull out the flashlight and have a very narrow fov

[sonic musk]

the Fov is kinda trash too

[velvet ferry]

I thought the flashlight was the craziest tech, so small, so bright

[signal sky]

I do like it cause it feels oppressive but yeah I can understand those who don’t

[sonic musk]

The FPS perspective is borderline unplayable to me

And I'm not the one to usually complain about this stuff

[gusty pond]

for those who have updated their DLLs; any improvements, any preferred DLSS presets? experience with PT and non default presets?

game was fantastic though being a capcom game of course had a few problems. nothing bad enough to ruin the experience though 🙂 hope everyone else is having a great time with this title

oh and one more thing, I'm sure this would be better asked in an optiscaler forum but I'll try here. in my previous experience getting optiscaler to work with reframework I always ran into the same issue: when DLSS was turned on in reframework I couldn't see the optiscaler menu, but with it turned off I couldn't EDIT upscaler options in the now visible menu because, well, it was turned off. since this game has DLSS integrated by default, I take it this will probably not be an issue, what are your experiences?

[dense sapphire]

already an option, no?

[fierce wedge]

I added that yesterday

[wraith rivet]

thx il try

[stark ermine]

Hi, onece I install this mod, the game seem to lock to SDR mode. I'm using Linux.

Oops, it turns out that the game is using the wrong PROTON which doesn't support HDR.

[signal sky]

Oh true yeah

It is

Just tried it and without eotf emulation it looks lifted imo

It does crush shadows less that’s true

I think I like it significantly more with per channel. It’s more punchy

And actually more accurate in theory I believe

[sharp stump]

Use this mod instead. But you need DSX for it to work.

[signal sky]

Off // Per channel

Actually off might be the move yeah

[sharp stump]

you mean luminosity?

there is 3 settings.

[signal sky]

I didn’t test luminosity

It’s pretty similar in regards to crush

Off looks lifted but detail is much preserved

Wait lemme try one thing

per channel with shadows 85

Still pretty crushed compared to off

[sharp stump]

yeah the higher the shadow the better

Can put it at 100 or so.

[signal sky]

Nah it will still be crushed vs off

Shadow crush or greyish blacks is the choice xD

[sharp stump]

is it safe to update reframework from 01260 to 01262?

[signal sky]

Yeah sure

I actually forgot to do it imma do it now xD

[signal sky]

Really torn with this

I cant get perfect blacks with off but it does look better

Like you cant even see the drawers on the bottom left corner with 2.2

They are crushed to oblivion

White wall also gets a slight bluish tint with 2.2

Probably per channel stuff

Yeah I do think @sonic musk was right, having this off is the way

It crushes way too much for the sake of inky blacks

[proven mauve]

Can someone guide me on the best settings for LG OLED CX? I am not talking about brightness but rather the other settings.

[fleet rover]

use RTINGS

[proven mauve]

talking about renodx settings for re9

like the gamma settings 2.2 per channel or the other one.

[signal sky]

You have a comparison above

Pick your poison

No perfect option imo. Dunno if Musa could figure a better solution for the blacks

[proven mauve]

this is with path tracing?

[signal sky]

Yeah

all maxed

Imma go with off

2.2 crushes too much

Not even lifting shadows helps

[proven mauve]

sigh off might be the way then for now

[fierce wedge]

the color grading clips shadows earlier in the pipeline and then the tonemapping and 2.2 brings them back down

I can try scaling the color grading luts

[serene shore]

Maybe when the next update for the mod arrives, we could have rcas also

I know it's just a toggle from Lilium's HDR Shaders but just saying

[bleak cliff]

I mean... it's a horror game, maybe it's intentional that some details are crushed in low-light situations... it occurs also in sdr with default settings so i think it's intentional

[signal sky]

The default is that it doesn’t crush tho

I think

The crush is introduced by the mod with 2.2 afaik

I could be wrong tho

[bleak cliff]

i checked default in sdr and renodx hdr and it's the same. remember that if you disable hdr in game you have to disable it on windows as well, otherwise the windows hdr will raise blacks again

[signal sky]

Oh so sdr looks the same as 2.2 on?

[fierce wedge]

if you click the match sdr button

it makes it looks like sdr with 2.2 gamma

the defaults are similar to sdr with 2.2 gamma just slightly raised shadows

2.2 luminosity / 2.2 luminosity with shadows 85 / srgb / srgb with lut scaling

[signal sky]

Oh you implemented the lut scaling already? Nice!

Test inside the hotel in the kitchen. It was crushing hard there

It’s a 3 min walk from where you are

[coarse kettle]

@fierce wedge shouldnt you change the discord status from "draft" to "ready"?

[sweet estuary]

Is it on nexus?

[gritty sparrow]

I see what you mean haha

2.2 luminosity looks so damn nice

Off raises blacks

But at least I can actually see stuff

I'm conflicted haha

[eternal trench]

The boiling is mostly contained to the intro racoon city streets sequence. For whatever reason, the wet effect and rain has some issues. I also noticed in in very specific places indoors. In the Care Center there's a set of windows opposite end to the courtyard doors and to the right. The volumetrics from the light coming in from those windows is really messed up. Another area is the building in the courtyard when the room becomes an elevator, there's a lot of fuzziness happening because the bouncing light isn't taking into account the height motion

besides that it has been extremely stable so far

some of those issues are probably FG related

[gritty sparrow]

I also just saw this comparison

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1rh9dpn/do_not_use_preset_e_with_path_tracing_in_resident/

Do you guys agree?

[fierce wedge]

srgb no scaling / srgb with scaling / 2.2 luminosity with shadows 85

[signal sky]

Yeah srgb with scaling looks the best

Is this the new thing?

[fierce wedge]

ya

might've took the pics wrong

[signal sky]

Good shit

[fierce wedge]

srgb no scaling might be shadows 85

whatever

[signal sky]

You can also look here

Its just at the end of the path ahead

Lots of black there to test

[sonic musk]

Haven't looked at the latest build yet, mb

[signal sky]

Imma wait for the lut scaling build to come out to play

[fierce wedge]

srgb no scaling / srgb with scaling / 2.2 luminosity with shadows 85

[winged apex]

Preset E is broken in everything, it never got shipped in any game

[fierce wedge]

these are scenes where you have access to the flashlight though

[signal sky]

Hell yeah that´s it

[gritty sparrow]

Can you please explain what is scaling? Haha

[unkempt sparrow]

Anyone else getting laser sight ghosting?

[signal sky]

Yeah I don´t know if the actual intent is for it to be crushed

Would need a sdr image as ground truth I guess

[fierce wedge]

the sdr match preset matches sdr

we assume 2.2 for sdr

[signal sky]

Oh ok

Doesnt the game use scRGB or 709 for SDR tho

[fierce wedge]

so basically 2.2 channel and 50 shadows is sdr

[signal sky]

Like it gives u an option

[signal sky]

Then yeah I guess the intent is to crush it xD

[fierce wedge]

rec709 oetf is meant to be used with 2.4 gamma displays which means that it would appera even more crushed

[signal sky]

Whether its good or not Im not sure

[fierce wedge]

that setting shouldn't even be exposed

doesn't make sense

[signal sky]

Yeah its weird

[inland topaz]

Finished the game last night. Only had the last couple hours with Reno because I played most of it on Friday but it looked great from what I saw.

Game is fantastic imo

[fierce wedge]

right now the shadows slider is run before the 2.2 correction and tonemap

I could move it to after

that might be best

[signal sky]

I found that shadows didnt do much yeah felt kinda limited

[autumn spruce]

I think even for me the default reno settings make parts of the game look a bit too dark. I’m basically blind without the flashlight but def feel its intended. I might also try the sdr preset/settings later tonight.

[fierce wedge]

it seems intended cause there are rooms when you first arrive at the care center with items you can interact with that I don't think you're supposed to see until after you get the lighter

[autumn spruce]

What’s really annoying is now that I’m playing Leon more, his hair unless he’s directly in a light source is a dark brown to almost black at times

[fierce wedge]

like those childrens books

[signal sky]

Yeah seems like it

[autumn spruce]

But idk it might be like that without the mod

[dense sapphire]

Indiana Jones ships with E. D breaks depth of field in that game. Basically just don't ever change RR preset from whatever the game shipped with

[gentle basalt]

Hello people just got my first gaming pc and currently playing requiem and I haven't got a clue how to install the HDR mod is there any videos or step by step instructions 🤣

[signal sky]

I guess I´ll start playing with 2.2 and try lut scaling when its released

[autumn spruce]

Yeah you’re def not supposed to see in that section. There’s other areas I’m talking about where it just appears too dark at times or maybe im just so used to having played games in sdr before that im more sensitive to true blacks

I couldnt figure out how to fix leons hair tho

[fierce wedge]

• download reframework here and drag the dinput8.dll file into the game directory
• install latest reshade with addon support, select re9.exe, you don't need to select any of the shaders or the addons listed during setup
• drag the renodx-re9requiem.addon64 file from here into the game directory
• Run the game and access the ReShade UI with <Home>. Select the Add-ons tab and disable Generic Depth and Effect Runtime Sync, then restart.
• Run the game and access the ReShade UI once again. Now you can navigate to the RenoDX tab and adjust the settings to your liking.
• Settings in the Tone Mapper section do not apply in real time and require the user to toggle HDR off and on again in order to apply in full

[gentle basalt]

Thank you 👍

[autumn spruce]

Musa, so when changing the EOTF Emulation setting either a reboot of the game or turning hdr off and back on will apply the change in game right

[signal sky]

HDR on and off yeah

[autumn spruce]

Any of those too sliders/settings basically

[fierce wedge]

ya

[autumn spruce]

Sometimes i just prefer to reboot the game. My 2 monitors r annoying and it sometimes turns hdr on for the second

No matter how many times i tell it only use hdr on main display it doesnt care

Effing windows smh

[fierce wedge]

just adjusting hdr sliders in the game's menu should be enough to trigger a shader reload

[autumn spruce]

Ah the in game ones that are being overridden? Ok cool

Ty sir

[signal sky]

You think the new build will be up soon? I kinda want to wait for the lut scaling lol but Im itching to play

[fierce wedge]

prob less than an hour

[signal sky]

Nice! Will wait then

[autumn spruce]

Oh sidebar guys, if you come across any kind of stuttering in a few sections (specifically for me it was when playing as Leon), turn Mesh Quality to Low

There was this repeatable very bad stutter in one section mid game, changing it from Standard to Low fixed it completely for me. Saw people on reddit saying turn orr ReBar but i didnt even need to do that

Legit thought my gpu was dying or there was a vram leak or somethin it was so bad

[kindred bough]

I'm confused. Which setting most closely matches the developers intended vision for the game?
Eotf off/ 2.2 per channel/ 2.2 by luminosity

[signal sky]

2.2 per channel in theory

Just click match sdr button

[fleet rover]

||Are you talking about the raccoon city part with leon?||

[sharp stump]

@fierce wedge I think game uses rec 2020 for hdr and not srgb or 709rec.

you can only change that setting when HDR is off ingame.

[polar summit]

The problem with not doing gamma correction is that the black floor is lifted

[fierce wedge]

rec2020 is the color primaries, while in sdr srgb and rec709 refer to the gamma curve which makes the setting confusing

[polar summit]

black is no longer black

those same scenes are black in SDR even with srgb gamma

I ended up just cranking shadows up till i see lifted floor

[autumn spruce]

I’m on mobile so I can’t see how to tag my text as spoilers, and its not rlly a spoiler IMO since they showed you going back in the trailers but yes. That area, and it’s actually the first longer Leon section before you reach the center which is labeled separately past that on the map

[polar summit]

and then did -1

[fleet rover]

im literally at that part rn and your suggestion worked so thank you!

[quasi lodge]

is this ideal? setting unchecks my sefault isnt it?

[autumn spruce]

I cant say exactly when it happened here to avoid spoilers tho, it was a specific sequence

[autumn spruce]

Awesome, yeah it happened when facing certain directions or looking at specific objects it seemed and was happening, actually in a pretty large area but i went back to where u can save and it still happened im like wtf. Mesh quality is the culprit

[fierce wedge]

it's likely what's intended by the devs but I feel like its crushed in some scenes, hence why I upped shadows to 85

[sonic musk]

bt709 with the 2.4 eotf is actually a bit brighter than sRGB with sRGB eotf

[quasi lodge]

yeah i think it looks phenomenal esepcially compared to washed out vanilla

i just run defaults

[fierce wedge]

then they def fucked something up there cause rec709 oetf + 2.4 eotf should add a ton of contrast

[polar summit]

I think it's just a setting meant for 2.4 gamma viewing

[sonic musk]

sRGB with sRGB EOTF / BT.709 with Gamma 2.4 EOTF

[polar summit]

Alan wake 2 has similar settings for gamma

[sonic musk]

Alan wake also had Gamma 2.2
And in theory sRGB and BT709 should match when viewed with correct EOTF

[fierce wedge]

in alan wake its meant to match your display setting

[polar summit]

yea exactly what I mean

[polar summit]

Yea this should be the same

[still lance]

can anyone help me my game looks very bright

[fierce wedge]

there is no rec709 display setting, rec709 is a curve meant to be mismatched and used with 2.4

[polar summit]

right that's what you mean

[fierce wedge]

srgb with inverse srgb would match rec709 with inverse rec709, but there's no inverse rec709. that's supposed to be used with 2.4

[spark vale]

I play this game with some friends and our schedules dont line up great. So pretty much every time we play there’s a new Reno build and 500+ messages of discussion

[sonic musk]

correct

[fierce wedge]

so who knows wtf they were doing

[spark vale]

So thank you Musa and community, you’re helping me slowly get the best visual experience possible for first playthrough

[fierce wedge]

cause now its not even in the code anymore

they baked the rec709 shit into the luts now

[polar summit]

seems like different people worked on each mode or something

it's bizare

[sonic musk]

So it's switching LUTs when you change the setting?

[quasi lodge]

my only issue is the game hitches occasionally random times seems almost like traversal stutter wonder if it's reframework still

[still lance]

how do i change this

to this

[heady arch]

so whats the "intended by the devs" setting? At the beginning with Grace you are not supposed to see anything without the lighter

[quasi lodge]

the sections where you can't see anything still are pitch black even with musas slight tweak to shadows for me.

[fierce wedge]

ya its the same shaders

so it has to be built into the luts

[fierce wedge]

2.2 per channel with shadows at 50, the mod has a match sdr button that does that

[sonic musk]

No one knows for sure
The UI and the SDR calibration seems to imply that 2.2 is correct option
But it looks kinda bad

[fierce wedge]

its something i'm adding rn

calibration menu could just have been passed off to some random person

so who knows

[heady arch]

so if you use renodx, does the ingame brightness settings matter?

[fierce wedge]

no

it overrides those

[sonic musk]

yeah
probably done by the different people that haven't been in a room together ever

[heady arch]

Ok thanks, so match SDR is "what the devs want you to see" and you just see the better highlights

[fierce wedge]

ya

[quasi lodge]

so the default is more balanced just doesn't match SDR doesn't crush black as much

[fierce wedge]

ya

[heady arch]

They should do something about the banding, 10bit is not enough or what ?

[fierce wedge]

I can do something about the banding on nvidia gpus

[signal sky]

It’s RR

[fierce wedge]

ah ok if its rr then maybe not

[signal sky]

Happens in cyberpunk too

[heady arch]

its many games not just Requiem

[sharp stump]

PT forces RR on.

[pure chasm]

I’m using Lilium’s blue noise dither for banding, pretty damn good if you ask me

[mental glen]

lol driver defo matters a ton on 4090

20fps faster on quality mode than i was on balanced before

[heady arch]

RR creates banding in the flashlight ? If you pause the game you can see it clearly in the grey background

[dense fjord]

ewww turn off chromatic abomination

[signal sky]

Most likely

[mental glen]

stop crying cuh

[sharp stump]

So I am using Ultra+ mod and just changing the PT Ray bounces to 16 will drastically reduce boiling / noise.

[signal sky]

Didn’t change a lot for me

[heady arch]

yeah but what about FPS

[sharp stump]

for me it was like 4 to 6 fps loss

not really heavy. Game uses 3 by default.

[heady arch]

Musa what can you.do about banding with NVIDIA cards?

[pure chasm]

Some form of dithering likely

[sharp stump]

I am also not talking about banding but boiling from fence in intro / steam area.

[heady arch]

would like to try that

[signal sky]

Yeah I tried 16 and didn’t change much. Was a tiny bit better but not significant

Doesn’t hurt tho

[pure chasm]

Try the one from Lilium’s package

[heady arch]

The reshades deband doesnt do much

[pure chasm]

Not talking about deband shader

Lilium launched his/her own dithering shader

I’m using it since it was a beta a few months ago

[sharp stump]

does anyone turn off camera bobbing?

[autumn spruce]

What part of the game are you at without spoilers? If you’re playing as Leon, try setting Mesh Quality to Low as it corrected a severe stuttering issue I had during a main section of the game

[pure chasm]

Mine hitches too occasionally

[ornate kernel]

Yeah, I started to see those on today’s beta. On yesterday’s it was fine for me, but maybe I’m hallucinating

[heady arch]

The stutters are small for me and are completely random..Something to do with their crappy DRM again?

[quasi lodge]

stuttering isn't severe I am probably like 1-2 hours in just occasional noticeable hitches

[pure chasm]

Maybe reFramework related?

[heady arch]

Maybe

[pure chasm]

I think it was better yesterday with one of the earlier nightliies

[quasi lodge]

also camera movement on controller seems not smpoth as it should be maybe cuz i turned motion blur off

[small igloo]

banding is not RR

[pure chasm]

Agree!

[small igloo]

it happens on normal RT mode and even raster mode

[signal sky]

Most likely

[autumn spruce]

I’d honestly still try mesh quality on low, doesnt even rlly make much visual impact

[heady arch]

Musa said he has something in mind for NVIDIA cards

[signal sky]

Oh it does? I assumed it was RR as in cyberpunk

[small igloo]

yea just wanted to emphasize it's not caused by RR

[autumn spruce]

Fixed the issue which you’ll come across later in the game, i was mostly smooth up until then

[signal sky]

Mb

[quasi lodge]

praydog releases a new version loke every hour so im gonna try the alteat when i get home

[small igloo]

yea I know what you mean but there's also banding not caused by RR

[serene shore]

Have a hunch that it its frame-gen related. Had zero stutters when playing without it

[small igloo]

same

I also came to the same conclusion

since I turned off frame gen I had no hitches

[autumn spruce]

0 issues with FG on my 9070 xt with RT High

[small igloo]

probably dlss fg

haven't tried fsr or xess

[pure chasm]

You’re on to something

[sharp stump]

Some ppl claimed that FSR FG is much better actually.

[autumn spruce]

Frametime was flat using it whole time up until the section i mentioned and it ended up being mesh. Possibly the microstutters are also related bc it says something about how 3d movement is handled

[timid sky]

for me textures looks blurry even though with RT high and presets M,K DLAA, I see a lot of shimmering in that medical chair

[sharp stump]

doesn't have the noise / artifacts that DLSS FG has.

[signal sky]

Yeah FG never helps lol

[signal sky]

No way

[sharp stump]

using PT? if so RR overrides DLSS presets

[small igloo]

the game runs surprisingly well with PT on

I guess since it's kinda closed spaces there's not much to render

[autumn spruce]

I just did but i dnt have an nvidia gpu to test dlss fg against

[serene shore]

Yeah I'm on 5080 and have the stutters at very specific intervals. Latest reframework & mod. Uninstalled both and issue persists.vsync on & off change makes no difference.

[signal sky]

Yeah. On the streets tho like in the beggining it dies a bit

[signal sky]

Could easily be FG then yeah

They need to improve it asap

[kindred bough]

Has anyone else noticed subtle screen flickering in this game? Not VRR flicker - I disabled it completely. Something visible when looking at a wall and slowly moving the camera. The screen gently shifts between slightly brighter and slightly darker over and over. It's hard to notice though.

[signal sky]

Rather reflex needs massive improvements

[pure chasm]

I’m on 5090 and have them too.

[hidden sphinx]

Anyone know how to set this up in the mod or which setting needs to be tweaked?

[sweet estuary]

Wouldn’t changing mesh values lead to drastically worse visuals

[small igloo]

maybe using display commander to replace reflex could help with FG

maybe not

[timid sky]

using RT high, without RT ( RT off) I don't see any shimmering/boiling artefacts

[signal sky]

Probably not

Never worked for me

[small igloo]

🙁

[sharp stump]

B/c RT high doesn't use RR

[signal sky]

I do think the game is totally fine vanilla tho

[sharp stump]

by default.

[signal sky]

Just some minor quirks

[small igloo]

I mean yea the game runs great and looks awesome

[signal sky]

Main thing is the hdr

[sharp stump]

PT forces RR on.

[small igloo]

textures could be a bit higher res though

[signal sky]

Welp they look the part if you don’t pixel peep imo

Optimization is also important

[small igloo]

yea it's mostly fine

[serene shore]

Should be Capcom's denoiser. Totally normal and nothing to worry about on your end. Also normal to have small white artifacts in different scenes as the denoiser can't keep up.

[signal sky]

Yeah I got those white artifacts

Kinda distracting as they flash

[autumn spruce]

Apparently not. I also noticed barely any difference between standard and low

https://youtu.be/1frLPE40dfY?si=YWYwx90pg_bzPJVu

[timid sky]

I thought with preset M it should look much cleaner no blur no shimmering, and there is no option to disable RR and enable preset M with PT 🙁

[sharp stump]

PT mode in the game forces RR on. and so Whenever RR is used it uses that preset instead of DLSS one.

When using RT high it I believe turns off RR off.

Hence why there is no noise / boiling effects.

[heady arch]

They need to update RR to a newer model

[sharp stump]

You can try it if you want.

[fleet rover]

Visually is RT high or path tracing better?

[sharp stump]

Just replace DLLS with newer ones.

PT is better. For most part.

But uh it has some major boiling / noise when rain and steam combine near fence lol

[heady arch]

PT is the best if you care about photorealism

[sharp stump]

I am using Lazorrs mod right now to set Ray bounces to 16 and that seems to downplay the boiling issues a bit.

[small igloo]

lazorr did a mod?

[sharp stump]

yeah

first RE Engine game mod

[small igloo]

that's awesome, where did he post it?

[sharp stump]

Right now best thing is he got rid of hero rim light and made it easy to change ray bounces.

In his discord. its mostly beta right now.

[quasi lodge]

i was debating whether this is the best looking game I have ever seen it's either this or alan wake this def has better character models

[sharp stump]

There is new RE9 channel.

[kindred bough]

Thanks for the answer because it's driving me crazy lol
But it's only visible in this game in my case so you're probably right

[desert nebula]

Ohhh I need that for the hero rim light

[quasi lodge]

maybe cp2077 modded and path traced but the chracter models arent as good as either AW2 or this

[small igloo]

thanks

[sharp stump]

welcome 🙂

[small igloo]

damn I was waiting for the hero rim lighting mod

[signal sky]

Yeah I asked for it and he just did it, hes the goat

Welp imma start the game with the 2.2 thingie I cant wait more

[blazing fiber]

where can i dl it?

[signal sky]

Ultra+

[desert nebula]

Does that go in the autorun folder?

[signal sky]

yep

If yall wanna see the nice stuff hes cooking go to that server

[desert nebula]

Love that guy

[small igloo]

oh he actually did a bunch of tweaks that's awesome

DoF as well

[signal sky]

Well he just exposes them

You can tweak

By default its vanilla

[versed magnet]

Extra bounces for PT. Small performance hit, less boiling.

[quasi lodge]

i turned off dof vanilla is so bad

[blazing fiber]

Is there one for RT too?

[versed magnet]

Yeah. Seems they do DOF before upscaling.

[small igloo]

yea it doesn't mix well with upscaling it seems

a lot of aliasing

[versed magnet]

Not yet. But I imagine that will come. But don't know anything. Just guessing.

[quasi lodge]

i mean I think DOF is silly effect in games

[blazing fiber]

Where can i find this guys mods?

[versed magnet]

I like it when done well. Same with motion blur.

[signal sky]

Happens at native TAA too

That ain’t it

[versed magnet]

https://discord.gg/efrnhGcs

[sharp stump]

16 ray bounces for me was only 4 to 6 fps loss

make sure you choose what channels you can see. Gotta unhide them first.

[versed magnet]

Could be doing anti aliasing after DOF too. So the DOF is trying to blur an image full of aliasing. And then TAA and DLSS can't work with the blurred image.
It's just a guess at why it looks so badly aliased.

[signal sky]

Could be

[blazing fiber]

Did you test out "Radiance cache" ? Does it work?

[steady flame]

The image quality hit is bad enough that I moved down to RT High instead

[versed magnet]

In my short testing, it works pretty well as long as you keep the bounces for the RC at 1. Otherwise the lighting gets too flat and bright in certain areas.

Little to no performance cost it seems. Actually performance increase in some areas. Clears of a lot of noise and boiling. But it's not a panacea.

[versed magnet]

Radiance Cache with these settings seems to work really well:
Bounces: 3
Tile size: 2
Scene scale: 2

Works wonders in indirectly lit interiors, like that warehouse in Racoon City. Haven't yet seen any issues with it.

Don't mind the compression.

[fierce wedge]

2.2 per channel (matches SDR) / 2.2 luminosity pre tonemap shadows 85 (current defaults) / 2.2 pre tonemap shadows 95 with lut scaling / srgb with scaling / srgb

https://x.com/NikTek/status/2028115702113321122

NikTek (@NikTek)

Disabling Resizable BAR completely fixed the stuttering issues

I find it weird how that was the cause of this whole issue, re-BAR is supposed to make games perform better, not worse.

If you're on PC and are experiencing stuttering issues in RE9, try disabling Resizable BAR

[heady arch]

What do you have in mind for the banding issue(For NVIDIA cards)?

[fierce wedge]

just upgrade the render format from r11g11b10 to r16g16b16a16. not sure if that will actually help though

i couldn't notice a difference in re4

[desert nebula]

We have a banding issue?

[heady arch]

Yeah in some cases

[versed magnet]

Scratch that. Certain locations will crash with radiance cache enabled. 😭

[formal tapir]

is my nvidia app bugged or is it just not allowing dlss settings in re9 for everyone

theres nothing under the optimized settings thing

[fierce wedge]

someone mentioned they saw banding and then someone else said that it was just RR doing that. if its rr doing that then upgrading to rgba16 probably wouldn't make a difference

[small igloo]

there definitely is banding without RR in some cutscenes

[formal tapir]

theres a border around every ui item with the mod that i found extremely distracting

[blazing fiber]

Theres banding on AMD too. Fix it by using custom grain at 30

[fierce wedge]

that was fixed yesterday

[small igloo]

newest file on nexus should fix thatr

[sand pivot]

but nexus only shows 1 file uploaded

[formal tapir]

is there any reason to have that reframework film grain mod with this

[fleet rover]

lolol

[sand pivot]

dont laugh 🙁

[fierce wedge]

no

[sand pivot]

im just curious cause you often see diferent files

as they are updated

[fierce wedge]

I just replace the old file with the new one. I usually don't archive

[sand pivot]

there you go!

kool, been using the one

[formal tapir]

the archive is there i just checked

[fierce wedge]

ah ok it must do that automatically

[sand pivot]

really? i only see one

[formal tapir]

it says file archive under it click that it takes u to the old one

[sand pivot]

ok now i see it

[fierce wedge]

you have to click archive

[sand pivot]

yes yes

[formal tapir]

if ur into that for whatever reason

[sand pivot]

you are correct

i got OCD!!

i didnt notice that much film grain until you took it off

that was nasty shit!

Musa the option you have as custom grain, is that like a happy medium you set up?

[oak maple]

very nice

[brittle badge]

I got all my challenges done and plat-ed ... I'm done with this game

donezo

[formal tapir]

that grass needs some touching i fear

[oak maple]

yeah srgb with scaling is the ticket

[dense sapphire]

Musa do you know if there's a sharpening filter active when using dlss? Seems like there is one when using TAA, but I can't tell if it's active when using dlss

[signal sky]

I played the first hour with 2.2 and looks great too tbh

What a game

[oak maple]

it's insane how much easier life would be for artists if they just used the right encoding in SDR

[coarse kettle]

Would you say for someone that doesnt understand HDR the other one is better?

[sharp stump]

The nvidia drivers 595.59 had the profile for nvidia but it was withdrawn to too many issues.

[fierce wedge]

this just adds new options, defaults are the same as before

so if you don't change any of the new sliders then its the same as before

[signal sky]

There is 2 match sdr buttons

And both do the same

[dire helm]

What is the default dlss sr preset in this game?

[fierce wedge]

fuck I messed up

both are different

just name is same

[signal sky]

When I click they aren’t

Same values

[fierce wedge]

one should be setting SDR EOTF emulation to off

and another one to 2.2 per channel

[signal sky]

Hmmmm lemme be sure

Yeah same

Doesn’t change anything eotf is 2.2 always

[fierce wedge]

ya giving them the same name probably breaks it

TEST BUILD

• adds lut scaling sliders
• adds preserve shadow detail button

[signal sky]

Ok working now

[fierce wedge]

I should probably add a post tonemap flare slider

[signal sky]

Match SDR // Preserve Shadow Detail

I think match sdr looks best

But the new option is cool too, not sure

its quite different

[analog cave]

Isn’t 2.2 per luminance more accurate?

[fierce wedge]

channel is accurate to how it would look in sdr on a 2.2 display

[analog cave]

Ah I see

[fierce wedge]

but it shifts hues and smears colors

[sand pivot]

when i click preserve shadow detail. it crushes the blacks on me :/

[signal sky]

I think Imma go match SDR yeah

[unique snow]

finished the game

[fierce wedge]

you have to toggle hdr off and on again since it moves the sdr eotf emulation slider

[sand pivot]

oh right! thanx

[teal mountain]

how do you personally prefer playing, out of curiosity?

[fierce wedge]

so far I've liked the defaults but with game brightness 100

so 85 shadows and 2.2 luminosity

still messing around with flare and scaling stuff

[brittle badge]

when you say game brightness 100 do u mean the 3rd hdr ingame slider?

[signal sky]

Yea

That’s mega low I’m surprised

[fierce wedge]

i only play at night

game brightness 100 and all effects off
defaults (2.2 luminosity + shadows 85) / match sdr / preserve shadow detail / srgb

game brightness 100 and all effects off
defaults (2.2 luminosity + shadows 85) / match sdr / preserve shadow detail / srgb

[signal sky]

Yeah me too. I guess my eyes are tired cause I use 203

[fierce wedge]

are you on an oled monitor

[gritty sparrow]

I am on a C2 using 203 as well. Is that correct?

42" C2

[blazing fiber]

300, like the game defaults to, looks good to me.

[stray finch]

we are kindred spirits gaming in the dark

[fierce wedge]

there is no correct, it's just preference

only thing wrong would be game brightness higher than peak

that would be less range than sdr

shadows 50 / pre tonemap shadows 85 (old defaults) / post tonemap shadows 85

[signal sky]

Oled TV yeah LG G5

[woeful shadow]

I rolled back drivers but can’t use preset L or M anymore. Is there a way to get around this or do I need to wait for nvidia to come out with a non broken driver?

[signal sky]

Yeah match sdr consistently looks the best on my screen

[fierce wedge]

203 on a tv is probably less fatiguing than a monitor

[signal sky]

Here second one too

[fierce wedge]

unless you're really close to it

[signal sky]

Yeah its pretty decent

[signal sky]

2m, bit more mayb

65inch

[sand pivot]

i thought the in game brightens slider was disable with Reno

[signal sky]

I do suffer from eye fatigue sadly tho

[fierce wedge]

it is

the renodx brightness slider is what I'm talking about

[polar summit]

post tonemap looking good

[fierce wedge]

i'm gonna make post tonemap shadows default to 85

and pre tonemap default to 50

[heady arch]

the difference is so minor that you won't notice during gameplay. Am i Missing something ?

[fierce wedge]

meant to clean up dark scenes

[fierce wedge]

what display are you using

[polar summit]

Peak 1k and Trueblack 400 look different in shadows as well keep in mind

[signal sky]

Yeah I sent this comparissons to people with LCD and they were like… huh?

I told them to go to their oled phones and they were like AHHHHHH

[fierce wedge]

ya difference is pretty noticeable on my oled

[signal sky]

Yep. OLED magic probably

[polar summit]

much more noticeable with TB400

Still an improvement with with Peak 1k tho

probably needs higher shadows still

[fierce wedge]

ya 1000 mode is shit on most oled monitors

tvs are fine ofc

the abl is ass on my g80sd

[polar summit]

ye it differs per model

Dimming is a non issue in this tho

but it also struggles with dark scenes

I ended up with shadows at 97 to not have it look super crushed in peak 1k

lol

[heady arch]

PG32UCDM

[smoky kraken]

oh my freaking god i've been wondering why the game looked sort of blurry since yesterday and just saw it had set itself to 1920x1080 resolution lmfao. i've been easily playing like this for 10 hours now.

[heady arch]

time to replay lol

[smoky kraken]

i hate it so much when games randomly reset their settings

[heady arch]

Only thing that gets reset for me is DLSS Quality back to Performance

[unique snow]

DLSS settings always reset back to performance

known "bug"

[heady arch]

What mode are you using ? I'm told that the most accurate HDR mode for my display(PG32UCDM) is the console HDR which is like the HGiG from TVs

[coarse kettle]

This happened to me atleast 3 times

[smoky kraken]

yeah but it was dlss performance AND 1080p

so i've been playing at 540p internally on a 2160p screen

[sweet estuary]

is the new version out? i dont see it in pinned or nexus

[polar summit]

the only accurate mode is TB400

[analog cave]

He plays true black 400

[unique snow]

rip

[analog cave]

So 400 peak 100 paper white

[icy arrow]

sorry to change the subject but I think the best FOV mod so far just released https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/99?tab=description

Does not mess with cutscenes or interaction markers

[heady arch]

But you lose Highlights, right ?

[polar summit]

yes

if you wanna keep the highlights then yea console hdr is the best

without dynamic brightness boost

[analog cave]

Yeah but way less ABL

[heady arch]

So what's the best to use with RenoDX ?

[analog cave]

Its preference

[heady arch]

For a game like Requiem

[sweet estuary]

The preserve shadow detail option turns off word emulation

[heady arch]

which is mostly dark

[sweet estuary]

I assume that that’s by design?

[serene shore]

is this nexus ready ?

[finite portal]

This is perfect, so far I was using the RE Requiem FoV modifier set to 1.2 but this is even better. thx

[fierce wedge]

not yet, still working on stuff

[fierce wedge]

ya

[desert nebula]

Looks good. Gonna try this out

[fierce wedge]

I'll have a new build in a minute that should maek the warning text dynamic

[polar summit]

Peak 1k modes (console HDR) can also struggle with dark scenes

[icy arrow]

only tiny nitpik is that have to crouch or aim after changing the FOV values for it to take effect

[unique snow]

nice, for the 2nd playthrough

[finite portal]

It's locked to older non transformer models if you use path tracing, if not you should be able to enforce M and L

[polar summit]

Personally I do prefer it in most games still 🤷‍♂️

[heady arch]

Which monitor ?

[polar summit]

Same as yours

[heady arch]

Ah nice, do you mess with RenoDXs settings or leave everything at default ?

I'm playing with ''Match SDR'' and I'm very pleased with the results

[knotty apex]

this is like the perfect game to use your 1000 mode in though?

[mighty kelp]

After 10 hours this game could be a new path tracing reference

[green raven]

Basically you have to chose between 400 True Black (most accurate) and peak 1000 (better highlights but strong ABL)

[heady arch]

It's sad that monitors progress way too slow..Not even TB600 in 2026..

[unique snow]

using EOTF boost on my msi, it looks amazing!

[green raven]

Yeah, basically nothing new since the first Alienware QD Oled monitor

[heady arch]

and devs don't give a f*ck most of the time, thank God we have Musa. Also DF's Alex doesn't care about HDR, at all

[unique snow]

in the end DF needs to make money, and doing HDR content is probably not worth it (yet)

[green raven]

While on TVs the evolution is insane

[sonic musk]

DLAA (with preset E) looks softer than TAA, so I recon no

[heady arch]

Lineman does some HDR content though

[sonic musk]

The milky shadows just fit the aesthetic much better I think

[sharp stump]

yeah I had that happened to me too.

[fierce wedge]

certain areas are still pretty low contrast even with 2.2

[unique snow]

yeah sometimes

[fierce wedge]

the gap between alan wake 2 and the rest of the industry is still clear

[heady arch]

AW2 has the best HDR ?

[fierce wedge]

subjectively I think it has the best and most interesting looking color grading and also has the best hdr tech implementation wise as well

[heady arch]

Who's the guy behind it ? The one that put HDR in Control and Alan Wake remastered ?

[fierce wedge]

Pumbo on this server

[polar summit]

Have you tried Hellblade 2?

Thought it looked pretty good as well

[fierce wedge]

i played like 5 seconds and got bored

[polar summit]

Understandable reaction

[fierce wedge]

the overdone facial expressions annoy me

[polar summit]

The game itself was quite disappointing coming from the first one

[heady arch]

It's one of the most(if not the most) impressive UE 5 techs out there

[polar summit]

but i thought it looked fantastic

[sand pivot]

and she got an award for it ahaha

[heady arch]

Only The Coalition with the upcoming Gears can come close or even surpass it

[oak maple]

it's less that it's the aesthetic and more that it's mathematically accurate. Correcting the gamma mismatch is ultimately a hack, it's just matching SDR with the hope that the game was successfully designed around the actual problems caused by the mismatch.

but the game has crushing issues with 2.2

[gritty pond]

there's some particularly dark areas where I found 2.2 looked kind of ass. I toggled Lilium's gamma fix on a couple of times and wasn't feeling it, so ended up completing the game just using vanilla HDR because I didn't want to wait for Reno or use ongoing WIP builds, but I'm keen to check it out on my "insanity" difficulty run. This is a vanilla screenshot of one such area that looked awful with 2.2 fix to me, but I didn't take any comparisons, unfortunately

[fierce wedge]

how far into the game is that

[gritty pond]

about 1/3

[fierce wedge]

how long from when you get the requiem gun

I'm early into the care center part

[gritty pond]

it's the Grace section immediately following the care facility

[heady arch]

Yeah, it looks bad even at the beggining when you first encounter the big monster and you see the dark area with the red light

That's the only spot I've found that it didn't look good

But maybe it looks bad because PT's light bounces aren't enough and make that particular scene look bad

[fierce wedge]

TEST BUILD

• made warning text dynamic
• add post tonemap flare slider
• new defaults

maybe just no 2.2 emulation with scaling turned up should be the defaults

[finite portal]

Thanks, I think RE Requiem is one of the best AAA releases in a long time mod there are still things that would annoy me without mods. RenoDX and people doing releases for all those games is the best thing since sliced bread

[chilly gyro]

Daniel Owen droped a video showing anywhere from 20-40 percent buy rolling back the driver on both 5000 and 4000 series cards

[heady arch]

I thought 50 series are not affected

[chilly gyro]

He showed 20 percent on a 5090 in opening scene

[heady arch]

lol

What a sh1tshow from a 5 trillion company

[chilly gyro]

Wonder if ai wrote the driver

[unique snow]

with these things I always wonder if the old drivers are just not "rendering" some things correct or at all

[heady arch]

They don't care, data center is the way now

[unique snow]

in any case the perf on my 5080 with 595 was excellent

don't really want to test anything else

[heady arch]

I'm playing with 591.86 on a 5090, plays fine with some very small hitches here and there

[unique snow]

no hitches here, I just ran out of vram and some point

and did what musa did and turned down shadows from max to high

but this would not be an issue on a 5090 of course

[heady arch]

REFramework causes them

or maybe Rebar

[unique snow]

I use reframework (obvious) and rebar is on

[heady arch]

gamepad or m/k ?

[gritty pond]

rebar isn't enabled for Requiem, even with the latest pulled drivers and its game profile page, so you'd have to be forcing it globally for it to be active and you shouldn't be doing that anyway

[unique snow]

oh ok then I don't have it on I guess

[unique snow]

m&kb

and no controller plugged in

[glossy quail]

no stutter here on a 5090 as well. i had some when i was using frame gen, but after disabling it and played 4 hours i've had 0. seems like it's either FG or reflex causing it in my experience. or maybe how those things interact with various fps caps

[unique snow]

<- FG 2x (240hz monitor)

[gritty pond]

I had a stutter with FG as well, so I ended up just capping at 60FPS without it instead and then it was smooth sailing

[glossy quail]

it's very repeatable for me. i can play the opening section with FG on and i'll get stutter. disable it and i won't

[unique snow]

5090 can do PT with 60+ at least, so not too bad

[glossy quail]

my display is 120hz so not a huge point in enabling FG with a 5090. i'm at like 150 fps in interiors without it

[unique snow]

with dlss of course

[finite portal]

I have stutter in loading zones

thats it, runs smoothly otherwise

[heady arch]

It's not really noticeable for me, no gameplay breaking by any means

I'm gonna try install the latest REFramework and test the new FoV mod

[unique snow]

one of the better PC releases tbh, shame that apprently both nvidia and amd fucked their driver releases lol

[glossy quail]

no fov slider is the biggest issue

i saw lyall mention they might try to get an fov mod that doesn't affect cutscenes/interaction prompts working

[unique snow]

yep

[unique snow]

we have a mod now

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/99?tab=description

this does what you want

Features

Adjustable FPS/TPS FOV sliders, with separate sliders for ADS (aiming).

** Does not affect cutscenes or interaction markers.**

[alpine wigeon]

Yes ! Got tired of switch on and off, especially with UW on top

[glossy quail]

oh dang

nice, thanks

[formal tapir]

thank god i was getting really motion sick but the default reframework one too busted to be actually useful

[unique snow]

yeah

[chilly gyro]

Any else get constant stutter when zooming in on scope ?

[unique snow]

Capcom loves to render the game twice with scopes in re4

maybe they do it again

that would effect performance

iirc..

[fierce wedge]

sdr eotf emulation off
lut scaling off / on

scene doesn't need scaling but shows it's at least not crushing

[formal tapir]

most confusing thing is why render inventory items without upscaling

[sweet estuary]

idek what a LUT is but i assume its baked in and not an option we have to turn on or off

[heady arch]

What's the ''correct'' values for 4K ?

[fierce wedge]

its a texture that has color grading in it

if you turn off a lut you lose the grading

[sweet estuary]

depends on what you are comfortable with

[sweet estuary]

ah so its default with the mod

i was wondering why there wasnt a LUT scaling mod

[fierce wedge]

the game uses luts for color grading

[sweet estuary]

*option

not mod

[heady arch]

I think arround 65(Default is 45) is good

[signal sky]

Ain’t 2.2 more accurate tho

[fierce wedge]

yes

people don't seem to like it

[signal sky]

Hey I do

[blazing fiber]

This is so confusing to me. Is the default settings on the current build the way th devs intended it to look/how its supposed to look?

[signal sky]

That’s match sdr

Always

[fierce wedge]

current settings raise shadows compare to match sdr

[heady arch]

''Match SDR'' = What the devs want you to see

[formal grotto]

I feel sometimes to be honest that I also get black crush with the old defaults too in some cutscenes for example, but the game is supposed to be dark and colors and highlights really pop a lot...

You have a flashlight at all times which fixes gameplay concerns

[formal tapir]

i think with the mod the blacks were really crushed on some of leons parts

colors i dont think pop that much at all theres no problem there

[signal sky]

I mean if it’s how it looks on sdr then that’s how the game looks

[heady arch]

And PT's light bounces are kind of limited which can make certain scenes look ''bad''. Chasing the ''perfect result'' here can lead to frustration

[formal grotto]

Would need to tinker with ray length or something

[formal tapir]

the pt was way too noisy at any upscaling level on 1440p, looks good now with the mod from ultra+ and forcing rr globally to preset d which isnt ideal but will have to do as a temporary fix

and by noisy i mean like everything had that dlss 3 boiling effect to it

[formal grotto]

The flashlight in a few later parts has a ridiculous reach suddenly, 2m or something which can get annoying if your room isnt pitch black for sure

[signal sky]

RR preset D is already the default no need to force anything

[fierce wedge]

2.2 by luminosity + post tonemap shadows 85 / srgb with scaling / srgb

[formal tapir]

i had it set globally to most recent so

[heady arch]

I prefer the more contrasty look

link for the Ultra+ mod ?

[formal tapir]

idk it was in here somewhere up

[autumn spruce]

Looks like theres been few reframework updates today

[signal sky]

Get resident evil role

[signal sky]

Yeah i updated nothing really major

[autumn spruce]

Yeah i looked also, didnt seem like much

[heady arch]

You update by just replacing the dll, right ?

[autumn spruce]

Yeah i think so

Just the dinput8 dll

[fierce wedge]

srgb with scaling / 2.2 luminosity / 2.2 luminosity + post tone map shadows 85

[formal tapir]

i think the 80 shadows might be the biggest problem for me

custom grain is great the default grain looked more like a graphical error than simulated film grain

[scenic flower]

The new reframework nightly finally works on epic

Awesome job with the mod. Look fantastic

[fierce wedge]

I think defaults are just gonna be 2.2 luminosity + 85 shadows

the darker parts are too dark with just 2.2 luminosity

and the parts that aren't very dark can be washed out without 2.2

[signal sky]

Yeah to me it looks best at 50 shadows but maybe some future areas could be bad at that

[thorny grotto]

tbh i even tried 70/75 and 85 seems to be just better to me

[blazing fiber]

I think the default settings of the current build looks fantastic

[fierce wedge]

updated

[autumn spruce]

I still dont get why the hell Leon’s hair turns dark brown/black once u hit the city

[ivory walrus]

What could be causing this?

[foggy tide]

seems like the file timestamp was still from yesterday?

[heady arch]

PT issue?

[autumn spruce]

Using RT High, im on a 9070 XT so no PT

[heady arch]

I remember Geralts hair becoming black in some scenes after the RT patch

[autumn spruce]

Wut, that’d melt my brain lmao

[fierce wedge]

their cdn is trash you might have to open in private browsing to see it update

[foggy tide]

yea, incognito mode works. Thanks

[heady arch]

So no more "Match SDR" ?

[fierce wedge]

that button is still there

[autumn spruce]

even funnier is I currently see this, 2028 lol

[ivory walrus]

Its unplayable right now. Never seen this before

[fierce wedge]

fuck

ok updated that to say 2026

[heady arch]

Should I use the new defaults or continue with the "Match SDR"?

[fierce wedge]

I like new defaults

also depends on accuracy of your display

like aw3423dwf crushes the shit out of blacks

[heady arch]

PG32UCDM with console HDR

[autumn spruce]

not sure whether you'll find urself updating again as u go further along in the game, but im curious how you think it looks when you see later parts/areas

I was originally playing the beginning in SDR until u first released the initial version, HDR with the mod way better

[heady arch]

"Basement" looks fine with match SDR so far

[fierce wedge]

updating never ends

[autumn spruce]

lol i figured, but i know some games only need a couple updates then done, think Ritsu did 1-2 versions for Nioh 3 before they uninstalled lol

[fierce wedge]

resident evil is a higher tier of game than nioh 3

[autumn spruce]

true

[fierce wedge]

I constantly update the re mods

I have to go back and rewrite the re7/2/3/village mod at some point

well not rewrite

[brittle badge]

I'll be honest on path tracing E looks better than the default D

way less boiling

[fierce wedge]

since I already did a rewrite a few months back

[fierce wedge]

usually volumetric get messed up by E

[autumn spruce]

this games got me wanted to go back to RE4 remake and knock out more achievements i never completed, maybe village too

i also never played RE2 on PC, was on console back when i bought that

might need to get on sale

[brittle badge]

I've played the entire grace to rpg and there's boiling in volumetric fog in light, but like way less than what u get on D

[open wren]

this is just not true, there is significant ghosting with preset E. I posted a video in here earlier showcasing it, and other people have posted comparisons recently showcasing that its worse than D.

yeah, there's less boiling in areas, but there is really bad ghosting in areas too

each preset has tradeoffs

Capcom chose preset D due to the ghosting issue

[lunar bridge]

I'll take the no ghosting

Im also upscaling to 4k so the PT boiling issue probably isn't as bad

Using DLSS quality

[open wren]

#1475306538481483920 message

here's a video I posted showcasing the very bad ghosting with preset E

and this is just in one area

it happens in other areas throughout the game

[sweet estuary]

This is dlss quality

[autumn spruce]

Musa, u still like custom film grain on 50 if u stick to the new defaults? I think i was playing with 30 on last build. i just normally turn it off on every single game

forgot what u said the custom film grain achieves or helps with if anything

[open wren]

yeah both presets have issues, you are going to have to cope with either boiling or ghosting. I'd rather take the boiling. the ghosting is extremely bad with preset E

its damn near broken lol

[signal sky]

E is always broken Im baffled at how so many people recommend it constantly

[fierce wedge]

I like it at 50

[blazing fiber]

In this game it helps with color banding

[signal sky]

50 is nice

[fierce wedge]

oh right I need to add the fp16 upgrade option

[signal sky]

I did see some extreme banding btw

Pretty atrocious looked like a million color rainbow

[autumn spruce]

what should i look at to see if i can notice the banding? where does it usually occur?

[blazing fiber]

custom grain at 30 helps

[signal sky]

I have it at 50

[signal sky]

You will notice it

[autumn spruce]

cuz might bump back to 50 then, im trying at 30 bc that fuzziness still too much for me around 50 personally

[signal sky]

I saw it in the first hour of the game

[autumn spruce]

oh, im way past that lol ok

[signal sky]

I think it was a flashlight in a cutscene

Cant remember much other than I went EWWWW

[blazing fiber]

You will see it around the flashlight illuminance

[signal sky]

Yeah in regular gameplay it doesn’t look bad tho

It’s just certain cutscenes I think

[autumn spruce]

Leon if he went emo lol, small snippet i took of just his head to avoid showing where i am at

[brittle badge]

I actually notice no ghosting, is it fps dependant?

cause mine runs at a stable 228 fps locked

[signal sky]

There is no ghosting at all

A lil in rain particles if any

Probably res dependent tho

[brittle badge]

🤷‍♀️ so prob res and fps dependant

E is perfect for me

[signal sky]

At least in what I played

[signal sky]

Oh no I meant D

I never use E xD

[arctic solstice]

How should my settings look for Preset E

I use the override?

never used NVPI

[brittle badge]

nvidia profile inspector, just drag the resident evil 9 exe onto it and force preset E

[signal sky]

People still coping with E

[arctic solstice]

Meh mainly because youtuber did some testign with it

but we all get our own resutls ig uess

[lunar bridge]

On these newer qdoled monitors the only way blacks look good is to use the preserve shadow detail option

That I've found anyway

Not that these are great monitors for HDR

Curious if just turning HDR off with these are the better option

[arctic solstice]

No DLL override?

[lunar bridge]

For this game anyway

Or like everyone's saying the game is just dark regardless

[arctic solstice]

E def looks a lot better

The active boiling was distracting

[gritty pond]

E has its own issues, it's a pick your poison deal and not a clear cut best option, but whatever works for people

I completed the game with vanilla HDR and was happy with it, but man, reno looks good

[arctic solstice]

What's the issues that E has faced?

what would make it worse than the wall moving>

I just want to make a decision based on what looks best and least distracting

[unique snow]

personal preference

[brittle badge]

oh I had none of these ghosting issues on E

[lunar bridge]

What are people using as an indicator to see if E is activated?

[coarse kettle]

in 4k isnt even close to this

[brittle badge]

I think it's res dependant tbh

[arctic solstice]

I am not playing Grace as third person

I am playing as the intended first person any glitches there?

[coarse kettle]

nvidia overlay

[lunar bridge]

The Nvidia app?

[thorny grotto]

It depends, did you use NPI?

[lunar bridge]

I did

[kind fossil]

I'm using the reg tweak which shows it in bottom left

you can turn it on and off with this

[lunar bridge]

Ahh ok I've always seen that I just never used it

So adding it to the registry keeps it on indefinitely

[kind fossil]

Yeah

[lunar bridge]

Until taking it out?

Ok

[kind fossil]

Yeah

[lunar bridge]

Gotcha

Thank you

[sand pivot]

this is happening with new reno add on

wooooooo

[gritty pond]

same lol

[sand pivot]

had to use R11 .....

[lunar bridge]

@sand pivotthe new test build?

[coarse kettle]

i confirm

[gritty pond]

@fierce wedge new option seems busted on the menu, even after toggling/restarting game

[coarse kettle]

and reseted

[signal sky]

Nvidia gpu or amd?

[sand pivot]

yes

[coarse kettle]

nvidia
