Resident Evil Requiem

[copper raven]

My friend was having around 35-45 fps with 9070 on cyberpunk at 1440p performance

[solid shale]

I did that and with path tracing the boiling and shimmering is so bad 😭 nvidia really needs to upgrade ray reconstruction

[copper raven]

Whetever that falls into "handle" is up to person i guess

kekw~2

[restive quarry]

Yes, somewhere around tier below performance

But no gpu actually handles pt

[mental glen]

real

my 4090 in shambles in this game tbh

[copper raven]

Even extremely gimped PT is so hard to run

[mental glen]

like cp77 with U+ highest PT settings runs better

than this

[restive quarry]

Yeah 5080 and 4090/5090 get close enough that dlss gets them over the edge but everything else is strugglebus

[solid shale]

my 4080 gets 11fps with PT and DLAA

and PT and DLSS performance or balanced looks rly bad with boiling and stuff even at 1440p

[mental glen]

i get like 19 on 4090

[solid shale]

im running RT high with DLAA now and its 80-90fps

looks great but i rly wish i could have path tracing...

nvidia needs to fix RR

[copper raven]

My problem with rt in this game is rt "high" looks like rt low or something

[solid shale]

ya it rly doesnt have much rt at all

[mental glen]

yeah RR is genuinely trash

[solid shale]

which i guess is why it runs so well but idk

RR is stuck on DLSS2/3 bascially

it doesnt hold up compared to 4.5 now

so dumb

[carmine lantern]

And it’s already using fp8 so there prob won’t be an rr update till dlss 5

[mental glen]

yeah i really hope they give us Transformer 2 RR soon

[solid shale]

really..... damn

RR 2.0 60 series exclusive

[mental glen]

dont do me like that

[restive quarry]

The RT is pretty low res and the denoising is unfortunate but the game gets most of the way there for the look and benefits a lot from rt imo

[copper raven]

Yeah I think they somewhere mentioned rr was already using fp8 acceleration

[carmine lantern]

Yeah rt high looks terrible in the opening city area

But later on it looks fine

[copper raven]

Wait till dlss5 uses fp4 and 40 series bros will get cucked

[mental glen]

yeah but that doesnt mean they cant update it to a newer model lol

[restive quarry]

Yeah once you get to the second half it's smooth sailing for the rt noise

[analog cave]

Honestly resorting to CNN with Path Tracing really helped

[copper raven]

I mean sure but I am scared of the cost

[analog cave]

in terms of performance

[mental glen]

[serene shore]

Not gone on my end. Latest driver, tried adding optiscaler, rebar on/off, vsync + gsync on/off. Will just play the damn game at 60-80fps 4K DLSS P PT w/5080. Still perfectly playable. One last issue is that with the latest driver changing RR presets is impossible, even with Profile Insprctor

[analog cave]

My reaction when the 6090 is 10,000 USD msrp

[dense sapphire]

huh

what do you mean

[analog cave]

Preset E

[copper raven]

Preset E is transformer

[restive quarry]

The revenge of trashformer

[terse field]

Left has what looks like subsurface color noise, somehow

[carmine lantern]

Preset e is still transformer old nvpi mislabeled it

[copper raven]

It doesnt have same letters with upscaling

[analog cave]

I am talking about DLSS....

oh

what

Okay that is strange

[carmine lantern]

Rr is forced with pt

[analog cave]

I was not getting 100+fps before with frame gen+DLSS Perfomance stock

[restive quarry]

You have to downgrade dlls to get CNN

[dense sapphire]

that's an sss comparison, left is "low", right is "high"

[restive quarry]

Which will probably break shit

[analog cave]

I am using the app this time around because I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade (again lol)

That is strange though

[copper raven]

Getting higher fps with CNN RR is normal but I doubt visual quality holds up

CNN RR was barely better than base denoiser in Cyberpunk and worse in some places

[carmine lantern]

cnn rr looks horrible

[copper raven]

It had 2x oil paint look of transformer rr

[dense sapphire]

CNN RR is turbo ass

[timid sky]

who installed 595.71 is there any HDR issues so far? Just saw a thread on nvidia drivers feedback one person reporting that he have HDR problem on his HDR monitor/tv, I'm also running s90c and I see picture seems to be dimmer than before and lack of colors washed out

[carmine lantern]

on my g60sd its ok

[analog cave]

Yah never said visually it looked better

was just testing it out

[vagrant arch]

Is the "Game Brightness" setting the same as Paper White? In my VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified monitor (G81SF) the paper white setting should be 101, but the game looks surpringly dim with "Game Brightness" at 101.

[terse field]

At a first glance, the low setting seems to be less “crunchy” and is smoothing out things like finger articulations’ wrinkles, i.e. doing actual SSS, so it’s a bit weird

Would need to do deeper comparisons though

[fierce wedge]

ya that's what game brightness is

[rapid copper]

The 'toggling HDR causes a no signal black screen/display disconnect' thing is not a new problem. This is a thing for me even on the 576.88 driver, Windows 11 on a 5090

FWIW if anyone else encounters this, you can resolve it by hitting Win + P a few times, which toggles the Project panel and causes Windows to detect the monitor again

[mental glen]

just dont toggle hdr

[rapid copper]

Lol yeah pretty much. But if you do!

[velvet ferry]

So should I update driver

[mental glen]

i personally did

do with that info what you will xd

[karmic jasper]

dude i am the most pussy player to exist

this game spooky

[velvet ferry]

bro i feel u, I'm getting a lil scared 😱

[solid shale]

ngl any cost is better than 11fps with DLAA to make current RR look usable at 1440p

[solid shale]

asme its very scary

[oak maple]

scariest resident evil game (I've played)

can't believe they got my ass ||with the monster hand reveal twice||

[terse field]

I feel you bruv lol

[restive quarry]

I think 7 (and kind of 8) has higher peaks for the fear factor but grace's story does a much better job of consistency

[terse field]

I just unlocked the East Wing with Grace at the beginning of the game, and it’s oof for me

[fierce wedge]

I love how the enemies in the care center are so memorable

[terse field]

8 was super easy for me in that regard, very few instances aside like ||the baby||, it was like it was not even trying for me (and I do think they were not trying for this game)

[fierce wedge]

Unique behaviors

And good enemy placement

[terse field]

7 was a lot scarier

[fierce wedge]

This is scarier than 7 easily

[oak maple]

as an experience, this is probably the best resident evil game and I'm not sure it's very close? But I do feel like replayability won't be as strong in this one.

[terse field]

For me yeah 9 at least at the beginning of the game where I am is definitely the scariest

[fierce wedge]

replayability in general is worse with the slower first person RE games I think

[oak maple]

yeah

I was replaying village before this and it really wasn't hitting like the first time

meanwhile re2/3/4 are kino every time

[restive quarry]

Yeah it's very action but ||dababy|| is horrifying

[fierce wedge]

Re2/3/4 you’re put into the action immediately

[restive quarry]

I think I agree. Feels the most well put together

[fierce wedge]

Just wish Grace’s running speed was faster

Enemies could be faster too to compensate

[oak maple]

yeah....

[terse field]

Again still early, but it might accomplish what 8 tried to be but better, i.e. a sort of medley of everything good things in the franchise

[fierce wedge]

Feels a little ridiculous when you’re getting chased but you feel like you’re just power walking

[oak maple]

I have mixed feelings on the heavy acceleration/deceleration to amplify the horror elements too. Like, it works, but also the game feels like shit to control so...

[fierce wedge]

Maybe increase fov would make it feel faster

[fierce wedge]

I set both accel/deccel to max

[restive quarry]

I like the cramped fov

[oak maple]

I'll have to try

[restive quarry]

Not being able to see shit around me is nice for a change and keeps me on my toes

[fierce wedge]

I hate when people post pics with fov maxed

[terse field]

I’m still using the default FOV too

[fierce wedge]

I’m using default fov too

[terse field]

From my couch, it is cramped a bit, sure, but no motion sickness or whatever

[restive quarry]

But I also have no issues with motion sickness so some people it's just a rip

[woeful oracle]

I'm pretty far into the game ||currently just got to RPD with Leon|| and I'm fairly certain this is the scariest RE but definitely the best feeling game from a gameplay standpoint, they've just polished and tuned the formula so much over the last three games.

[oak maple]

I would have to change the FOV if I were playing on my monitor, the motion sickness would be crazy for me

[coarse kettle]

https://youtu.be/hYv9xR7sERg?si=a9szdkzkTasYqmlT

saw this video, I don’t know the guy. But it seems to be good work.

[oak maple]

but yeah my rule of thumb is always to adjust fov for comfort and not to be a peak gamer

[restive quarry]

I'm not sure 8 was super into this idea though, like 8 is just 7 with almost all of the DNA replaced with RE4 stuff

[terse field]

I think it’s mostly because Grace’s first person gameplay in particular is very slow paced, and you are not gunblazing around a la DOOM

Otherwise yeah, that FOV would be puke inducing

[unique snow]

I could not even enter the house in 7, the kitchen was the most I could do lol

re9 was no issue for me

maybe I should try 7 again

[coarse kettle]

I played in third person. If silent hill 2 didn’t need first person to me to be scared, I will just go RE way

[restive quarry]

Def go back and try 7 then

[oak maple]

it took me until I was like 30 years old but I'm finally mostly desensitized to most horror. Though Alien Isolation still fucks me up

now I can get scared and not want to quit at least lol

[terse field]

The four main areas really felt like a tour around the “different” kind of things RE can do, sort of, from “traditional” corridor monsters with a stalker lurking around at the beginning, to more trigger happy sections at the end

[unique snow]

I changed it from default (46) to 60, was getting nauseous

60 is just enough, without breaking the immersion

[restive quarry]

Yeah this is all more or less re4 stuff but with jack baker sprinkled in

[terse field]

I was expecting 9 to be the one to now change things around in terms of what the franchise is going for gameplay wise, but not this time I guess

At least it feels extra polished

[restive quarry]

Nah 9 had to be the culmination game for 30th anniversary

Following the remakes of the 3 most popular games in the franchise

[terse field]

It’s everything the franchise did at its best, more or less

[coarse kettle]

I liked the game. But still think 2 remake is better

[terse field]

I sincerely hope they will skip remaking 5 and 6, for the love of god…

Please don’t waste years of work on that shite

[proven pilot]

I play with 60 too, it's perfect

[restive quarry]

Code Veronica is allegedly next

[gritty pond]

need a Code Veronica remake that reworks the game to add a Wesker boss for Chris' final fight and Claire fights Alexia instead

[terse field]

That’d be great, then no more remakes

Just do new things

[restive quarry]

I'm just hoping CV gets a 3r style remake with a bunch of content cuts

[coarse kettle]

I didn’t played them, neither saw videos. But for some reason I’m starting to think that they would do better in today’s audience than back in the day. Specially 5

[restive quarry]

CV is pretty bloated

[terse field]

I prefer something new and shit, than an old shit remade rofl

[heady arch]

HDR will be broken in CV aswell 😄

[terse field]

5 was the “beginning of the end” for the franchise back then, the whole “if you like 4 you have to like 5” that apologists are using to defend it has always been a load of crap.
Sure, it shares many of its DNA, but almost nothing of its flawless execution.

And 6, no need to say anything about it lol

[heady arch]

Haven't played RE 1, 0 and CV

Waiting for remakes

[terse field]

1 is already remade lol

[heady arch]

Actually I haven't finished 5 either

[restive quarry]

1 and 0 are very unlikely to be remade in a modern over the shoulder style anytime soon

[heady arch]

They are making a proper remake

[coarse kettle]

I don’t think they will have the work to remake 6. Too many routes to work 😂

[terse field]

“Proper” ??

[heady arch]

Like re 2/3/4

[terse field]

RE1 on GC is more or less the most perfect remake treatment a game ever had already

[sharp stump]

Anyone use latest driver? And is it good? Nvidia. ? I have 4080 so asking more or less the 4xxx series ppl.

[terse field]

No need to make it like the new remakes

[restive quarry]

Yeah what makes the last one not proper

[terse field]

It’s probably the one example of a remake that made the original completely obsolete

That cannot be said of RE2/3/4R

[heady arch]

Need next-gen visuals, modernized camera/controls etc

and Musha's RenoDX 😛

[restive quarry]

Re1make is also available on all modern platforms in a relatively recent port, re2/3 couldn't say the same (and 4 remake was the natural next step for the cash cow)

[gritty pond]

I agree RE1R doesn't need a remake, but they absolutely will do one. Fixed camera and tank controls (the updated modern controls in RE1R HD are really ass, so ignoring those) are a massive turn off to a huge portion of modern RE players

[terse field]

https://tenor.com/view/nah-han-sung-kang-fast-x-no-gif-9009623534519168477

[abstract quarry]

Hey guys, should we leave “scene grading” at 100?

[heady arch]

Well, the ''Golem'' leaker said they are preparing 1 remake and CV

[restive quarry]

I think if they were going to do it then we would have more solid evidence of it

[abstract quarry]

It looks like it applies a yellow filter

[heady arch]

and then 5

[terse field]

Leave my boy alone 😭

[oak maple]

yeah re1's remake still looks awesome. Pretty much prerendered backgrounds perfected

[terse field]

Yes, it’s the game’s grading

[coarse kettle]

To be fair, there are rumors. But wouldn’t they make 1 first if they intend to? They made 2/“3”/4

[abstract quarry]

Ok, thx for your replie

[heady arch]

1/CV/RE 5 coming till 2028

[terse field]

But yes I heard of the rumors about how they’re “not against remaking it”

[oak maple]

tbh I'm tired of the notion that everything needs to be a third or first person shooter

[heady arch]

just bring it on

[oak maple]

fixed camera angle RE still slaps

[terse field]

To which I say, what a fucking waste of time

[restive quarry]

1 had an existing remake on modern platforms, no reason to remake at the time (especially since 2 was multitudes more popular)

[heady arch]

Path-traced RE remakes and proper HDR lets go !!

[sharp stump]

Anyone use latest driver? And is it good? Nvidia. ? I have 4080 so asking more or less the 4xxx series ppl.

?

[heady arch]

And I hope the upcoming movie is good this time

[terse field]

CV is in an actual need of a remake

Not 1

Why spending years on something you already perfected 25 years ago

[heady arch]

it's outdated

[terse field]

Rofl

[restive quarry]

I don't really think anything does or doesn't "need" a remake

[terse field]

Yeah sure

[coarse kettle]

It gathers new players

[terse field]

More like it’s a more proper candidate for one

[heady arch]

pre-rendered backgrounds were good in PS1 era but not anymore

[restive quarry]

Yeah there are definitely better choices than others

[coarse kettle]

Kids will not play the games before 2015

[restive quarry]

They're not gonna remake 0 because no one gives a shit

[terse field]

You truly are saying “I did not play 1” without saying you did not play 1 😛

[restive quarry]

They should remake umbrella chronicles

[heady arch]

I haven't, I was like 5 years old back then lol

[terse field]

Did you play the original 2 and 3?

[heady arch]

Nope

[terse field]

That’s why you say it’s oudated lol

[heady arch]

The remakes gave me a chance to see the universe

[terse field]

You never tasted what fixed camera angles perfected had to offer

[heady arch]

I remember my father playing them

the fixed camera yeah and the door opening without seeing what's behind it

[arctic solstice]

What does match SDR do does it look closer to the SDR version while retaining HDR range i am guessing?

[heady arch]

SDR Look with HDR highlights

[coarse kettle]

I played FFVII rebirth first. When I went to play the OG there were some places so good…

[terse field]

2R did not make 2 obsolete because we lost in the process to using over the shoulder, in terms of ambiance and tension

[arctic solstice]

What do you recommend for RE9? P1000 TB400 or any of the two with match SDR?

[heady arch]

What dispaly ?

[arctic solstice]

Pg27UCDM

[terse field]

They turned what was a technical limitation into a game design strength

[heady arch]

Have PG32UCDM, I play with console HDR and match SDR, looks almost perfect to me

[terse field]

I like 2R a lot like most people, but 2 is still very much its own thing and has not been made obsolete, compared to 1R and 1

I am still mad at them abandoning using a proper soundtrack throughout most of the game, just because ambient noise are more “immersive”

(When it’s really not)

[heady arch]

Requiem has a really impressive audio

[arctic solstice]

Thank you

[terse field]

They ditched 2’s legendary soundtrack and replaced it with footsteps and wind noises, mofos lol

[heady arch]

But Grace's gameplay has A LOT of action, I thought it would be more ''hide and run'' than shooting

''Run for your life'' = Jogging in RE games

[heady arch]

You can try the new ''Preserve shadows'' mode, I've found it ''washed out'' for my taste and kept using ''Match SDR''

[unique snow]

just pay for the deluxe and use the old soundtrack

[signal sky]

YEAH. I’m loving it

[signal sky]

For me I don’t think so? But yeah it’s good af

[signal sky]

Yeah same to me. I may get scared the first 20 mins or so but I get used to it soon

[coarse kettle]

in my opinion 7 is scarier

[gritty pond]

yeah, I found 7 more spooky, but 9's a strong contender for my favourite in the series, absolutely loved it

[signal sky]

I got scared shitless in the care center but now I’m just running around with not that much fear. I still love the vibe and tension tho

[coarse kettle]

the game is only scary if you dont have bullets, think about that

[signal sky]

Yeah

[terse field]

You barely hear it tho

[coarse kettle]

7 is scary even with bullets

[mental glen]

bro i was already scared just playing the first section of the game with grace

[coarse kettle]

but the last game i played before requiem was silent hill 2 remake, so... walk in a park if you ask me

[mental glen]

shit looks pretty realistic plus the sounddesign

[signal sky]

OH yeah there’s a few scares there

I jumped with those

[mental glen]

playing that in a dark room with headphones

hella tense

[signal sky]

Same

I think requiem is scarier

SH2 I was just smashing everyone to bits

[mental glen]

ive only played RE2 Remake

[signal sky]

Im absolutely stunned by the enemy design in requiem too

It’s so damn good

[mental glen]

still need to play like all these others

[lusty jetty]

Sound design is amazing

[mental glen]

[mental glen]

fr

[signal sky]

What about 5 and 6

[coarse kettle]

my friend... the ambiance in silent hill was so... i was allways scared. in requiem allmost seemed i played with two leons to be fair. Maybe i played it wrong xD

[lusty jetty]

Espically on a 7.1.2 System

[mental glen]

was told theyre shit, can skip

[lusty jetty]

Ye skip 5 and 6

[signal sky]

Well different sensitivities I guess. For me SH2 is creepy but Requiem is scary

[lusty jetty]

They need to remake the entire crap from ground up

[signal sky]

COWARD. (I’m missing only those 2 lol)

3 ain’t that good either tbh

[lusty jetty]

RE isn’t really scary anymore

[mental glen]

i dont remember why i bought 3 specifically

[lusty jetty]

It’s more action than sh

[mental glen]

i was talking to my friend who loves these games and he said something about 3 why its worth getting but i honestly forgot why

[lusty jetty]

Espically 8 and 4

[coarse kettle]

people talk shit about 3 but nemesis for me was really scary at the time

[lusty jetty]

I think 3 was the weakest if we leave out 5 and 6

[coarse kettle]

Mr X is ok, do your thing xD

[mental glen]

yeah

[lusty jetty]

And I wonder how they gonna fix re6 if they remake it eventually

[coarse kettle]

too much work xD

[lusty jetty]

It felt like a Michael bay movie

Rewriting that crap gonna take ages

[mental glen]

prolly best to just leave it be

if its that bad

[oak maple]

if you like the gameplay of re4, re5 is still worth playing

[lusty jetty]

It’s more an action game than a horror game

[terse field]

By publicly saying it’s shit, and remove it from any and every platform on earth

[lusty jetty]

That’s the problem

[oak maple]

re5 is re4 if it stopped pretending it was a horror game

[lusty jetty]

Could have been some call of duty story campaign

[blazing fiber]

You aint seen sht yet boi. 😏

[mental glen]

xd

[coarse kettle]

sincerely i hope they remake 5. new fans didnt even know Chris. he was just the cool guy that appears in the finales xD

[terse field]

(And also so much worse in general lel)

[lusty jetty]

Chris is cool af

[oak maple]

I enjoyed re5 a lot more than I thought I would

[terse field]

“RE4 if it was not a good game”, what a description

[mental glen]

I’ll keep it in mind

[lusty jetty]

RE5 was alright

But 6 was idk

[oak maple]

6 is better forgotten

[terse field]

Look, if I being 100% honest… 5 is not bad lol

Being the quality drop from 4 is just too insane for me to ignore

[velvet ferry]

7 is the GOAT hate me if u must

[oak maple]

re5 is a fucking awesome co-op game

one of the best

[coarse kettle]

7 is the Terror goat

[oak maple]

as a resident evil game it's bad, but I choose to think of it as its own thing

[terse field]

And because of that (and some of the things it did with its “monsters”, like the machinegun wielding and covering zombies and swarm of Lickers), I… kind of don’t want to see it anymore than necessary lol

[glad marsh]

dude the first part where first get introduced to the monsterl had me shitting fucking bricks

[terse field]

And it had the first signs of 6’s DNA too

[coarse kettle]

might replay 4 when the RTGI mods gets realesed

[mental glen]

I didnt even get to that

i was mainly testing performance and RR n stuff

so i just restarted the mission at some point so im back on that main street

too scared

[signal sky]

Yeah this was peak

So fucking good

[analog cave]

Yeah the remakes are getting tiring

Because there’s no setup to anything because we know what’s gonna happen

Probably why all this setup to RE 10 is taking forever atp lol

[brittle badge]

am I the only one to dislike this game? I felt like they shoulda either do a full grace or full leon and not dilly dailly on either, you should be able to pick who to play as when you start the game, instead we got half assed action on leon's side with barely any combat with his powerful toolkit arguably more op than re 4 and grace's sections are way too short and using the blood collector slowdown is too slow, not to mention they gave her 2 handguns and that's it, it just felt lazy by design to force tension

when you get to leon's part and play him then you realized 2 hours is all you get, that's it, with all those guns and tools he has

grace's section is also just 2 hours, you figured maybe this was a beginning to something, maybe she gets more stuffs later, nope ... no

still plat-ed the game but this was not a good re game on either front of horror or action

[coarse kettle]

I liked the game but still think that 2/4/7 are better

[mental glen]

you are in the vast minority so yea

[coarse kettle]

9.5 user score metacritic btw

[analog cave]

Gameplay wise I loved this game

Story wise it’s okay

[polar summit]

L take

[mental glen]

yeah steam n shid also all bangin reviews

[analog cave]

Now do I think this deserves top 1 game of all time

FUCK NO LMFAOOOO

[brittle badge]

there was almost no progression, no escalation, the bosses fights are all over the place

[analog cave]

But it’s a great game

[coarse kettle]

I tought we would have a gta like driving part with Leon…

[polar summit]

I thought the grace sections were the best in any re game that ive played

Absolutely fantastic

[mental glen]

i can only judge the beginning grace section and that one was great

[restive quarry]

I think this is easily top 3 games in the franchise

[polar summit]

I agree

[restive quarry]

Solid contender for #1

[polar summit]

Almost every re game falls off a cliff after the first half

This one doesn’t

Which in itself is pretty good

[unique snow]

imagine if 7 ends after you get on a small boat

would probably be a 10/10 game

[polar summit]

The game would be better for it lol

Not story wise

But the last section is such a drag

[restive quarry]

I don't think 7 should have ended there but they needed to rethink the sections after the baker house

[unique snow]

yea

[terse field]

It’s the closest we’ve ever had when it comes to transferring the original 2/3 type of stress and intensity in the moment to moment gameplay to something else than fixed perspective, from that early Grace section I am doing

[brittle badge]

what was the point of Mia ...

[modest wharf]

4R/2R/9

[polar summit]

It felt very similar to 2 and 3 remakes and 7 of course

[terse field]

Because of the switch to over the shoulder perspective maybe, I never felt as scared/oppressed as in the original game (regarding 2R) when doing my first run, or at least it was different

Grace’s early section is giving me close to that stress and apprehension of entering the next room, wondering what you’ll find, as the older games (2 and 1R)

[coarse kettle]

I just saw a video saying next games are RE0 Remake and Code Veronica remake. Leaked by “IGN”

[brittle badge]

I can't find anything scary in re 9 tbh

there's jumpscares and that is still not scary

[terse field]

0 lol, who caaaares

[restive quarry]

RE0 would be interesting as it has basically no dedicated fans

Can't see Capcom going for it financially

[brittle badge]

only problem with re 0 was the inventory management, that was an okay game with one of the best graphics on gamecube

[restive quarry]

0 and 1 remake are pretty famously not unit movers

[terse field]

Because it was mostly a game done in the exact same framework as 1R, minus the brilliance

Playing it back then, it was like… uuuh sure, okay? It had nothing original to offer and add to the franchise

[restive quarry]

iirc they're both among the worst selling games in the franchise, not sure if the hd ports changed that at all

[brittle badge]

wdym nothing original, you can literally control 2 characters with limited inventories

[terse field]

I think it’s the only one I don’t have on Steam actually lol

Minus the MP games

[restive quarry]

And I assume Capcom cares a lot about original financial performance

[brittle badge]

there's no games where u come in and be like ... lemme control 2 distinct characters in a re game

[terse field]

Which added nothing past the novelty, and anyone that played that game knows the living hell of inventory management between the two characters…

[terse field]

1R should have done a bit better than CV

[brittle badge]

you said "nothing original", I pushed back cause that was original

[terse field]

Which itself did a bit better than 0

[terse field]

K, sure

[coarse kettle]

But we have to get some new level design. Police/Hospital/Castel almost the same

[terse field]

Like the icy peaks of RE6?

[brittle badge]

so out of you guys how many actually plat-ed the game or even finished a 1st playthrough of re 9

[terse field]

God that section with the sniping enemies in the snow was horrible lol

[coarse kettle]

Didn’t play 0/1/5/6 my friend. I started with 7 😂😅

[restive quarry]

I finished it on Saturday

[gritty pond]

I'm halfway through my insanity playthrough

[brittle badge]

what's your opinion on it

[restive quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-its-peak-its-way-too-peak-its-honestly-more-than-peak-meme-gif-14944785001351870503

[terse field]

Just play 1R out of these

And you’re good

Which then will make you want to play the original 2 and 3

Like a giga chad

[gritty pond]

it's a strong contender for my favourite in the series, with RE2R being its competition. I loved the back and forth between Grace and Leon

[brittle badge]

insanity is designed to be played with either u skips past most enemies or have unlimited ammo cause if it takes 3 requiem shots in the head to kill a blisterhead that's dumb

[restive quarry]

Like I said, I think it's easily top 3 games in the franchise and a strong contender for #1

[brittle badge]

the hardest part of insanity is avoid the shotgun zombie at the beginning of the game

[thorny grotto]

As of now I'm having the time of my life. It's rivaling RE1 and RE2 as the best in the series

[polar summit]

I died more in the first leon section on insanity than the whole first playthrough on standard

Lol

I think my one complain is that the standard difficulty is just too low

Didnt really feel challenging enough especially not as a grace

[brittle badge]

on insanity I was like ... lemme unlock infinity axe durability with the mortal edge and insta kill things instead of just shooting them

[gritty pond]

there definitely should have been a middle ground between standard classic and insanity that you could play to begin with

[polar summit]

Definitely feels like it

I like the way more limited resources on insanity as grace

And the higher tension

But fk me like 5 shots to stagger a zombie is a bit much

[restive quarry]

so are standard classic and standard modern different in any way other than the ink ribbons

the description kind of makes it sound like it but it's not specific

[brittle badge]

they are all standard but standard classic is treated as a harder mode so the game gives u 1500 cp for it

[restive quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-abbreviate-walter-white-hank-breaking-bad-gif-11609305132227978440

[coarse kettle]

RE10 Chris and Leon only pew pew pew 🔫

[brittle badge]

I like leon's new toolkit too much for it to be like 2 hrs of actual gameplay

[analog cave]

Yakuza takes it a step further

[brittle badge]

I like grace sections too much for her to be just a few crafting recipes and 2 handguns that don't matter cause only 1

[polar summit]

Idk how u went through it in 2 hours tbh

[restive quarry]

2 hours sound like intentionally trying to blaze through it

[polar summit]

I see it on a repeat playthrough

[analog cave]

I would like a girl squad game

[polar summit]

But even then u need to optimize i think

[brittle badge]

on my 1st go in blind playthrough the timer at the end says 7 hrs 11 mins

[analog cave]

Yeah

[brittle badge]

and I was looking hard at things

[polar summit]

Timer at the end is not accurate

[restive quarry]

grace's section is all about the limited inventory management and the throwables, i don't think giving her more weapons would improve anything. would probably make them worse

[brittle badge]

the timer at the end discounts the cutscene

that's about it

and the time u sit looking at menu

[polar summit]

Sure i guess

I had 11 hours

But i did some save reloads idk if it counts those

Probably not

[brittle badge]

well if you reload using the save point it doesn't count

[coarse kettle]

Claire and Grace why not

[brittle badge]

but if you die and it reloads there on continu it count

[restive quarry]

need a claire and jill game

[analog cave]

Would be dope

Me thinks

[brittle badge]

everytime you press continue it adds time when u reload

when u die

[restive quarry]

got a lot of chris and leon by now

[analog cave]

Especially Leon Jesus Christ

[brittle badge]

also my 1st playthrough some guy told me I got 30k cp if I didn't use blood collector so I did do that

[analog cave]

Did you hear @restive quarry ||apparently they cut dialogue saying he was going to retire ||

[brittle badge]

and the end time is still 7hr11

grace is just too easy even with limited resources

[polar summit]

🤷‍♂️

[brittle badge]

you guys wish for christ, sooner or later there's gonna be expansion

hopefully chris or more leon or whatever

cause grace's arc is done, never gonna see her again in a new game

[polar summit]

Big doubt on that one

[brittle badge]

unless they intend to make emily the new main character then we gonna see grace again

then it's revealed that grace is actually not the real grace !!!

[polar summit]

Grace will be coming back 100%

[brittle badge]

like ethan ...

[polar summit]

Ethan was the most blank character ever

And he got 2 games

Grace is actually

So well written

[brittle badge]

idk about the well written part but you like her I get it

[polar summit]

I mean

You didn’t like the game that’s fine

A game for everyone is a game for no1

[gritty pond]

probably shouldn't be discussing the finer plot points so openly when a bunch of people here are still in the midst of their first playthrough

[polar summit]

Grace is a breath very fresh air in a series of characters that are apparent superhumans

[brittle badge]

I have a lot of problems with the story more than the gameplay ... and grace introduction makes me rage

[coarse kettle]

There are lots of people who really loved grace. I personally would like Clair instead

[analog cave]

Agreed, if so use spoiler tag

[analog cave]

Obscur expedition 33

[coarse kettle]

Claire* xD

[brittle badge]

I'm just gonna go from the beginning of the game and that's it, as we all know grace is a nice analyst for the fbi, somehow the fbi sends her out into the field to investigate without a partner, this is not standard protocol whatsoever, maybe her boss is corrupt or something but then he's not. she stutters every sentence and can't make eye contacts so she looks down when she talks with anyone, how does she even get this job

not even gonna bother explain the story cause spoilers

[polar summit]

Maybe she’s a good analyst

[brittle badge]

they aren't combatants, these ppl don't get sent into the field, she has to buy her gun herself cause states don't fund her firearms

analysts do what analysts do, stay at the HQ

[rapid copper]

Its almost like there's some, idk, larger force at work manipulating things to make her go where they want her to... just a hunch

[brittle badge]

look, let's talk larger malevolent forces that want her where she is ... instead of infecting a random cop to try and scare the shit outta this girl who you want cooperate with you, this guy who is a supposed scientist just do jumpscares cause ...

and yes, what if she gets killed by that zombie cop cause ppl die, especially non trained ppl

the game may be fun but let's skip the plot being good, it's not, it's servicable

[polar summit]

🤷‍♂️

I don't disagree with your points

But i still think grace as a character is well written

and I did enjoy the story

[rapid copper]

Lol these critiques have huge 'I have never played a video game before' energy

[brittle badge]

enjoying something is different from it being good, batshit insane spectacles are fun, not good

[rapid copper]

What if the enemy killed the protagonist? Did they not think of that?

[brittle badge]

I stopped taking RE stories seriously since re 4 to begin with, is it a fun game, yes

same to 7 and 8

werewolves and mud ppl ... fun? hell yea

[rapid copper]

Yeah, that's the energy resident evil wants from the player. Its fun!

[brittle badge]

good? not really no

[knotty apex]

After the last of us was the first video game to have a real story I just can't take resident evil seriously anymore

[polar summit]

What's a game you'd consider having a good story

[brittle badge]

someone gave an example above you that's one

[polar summit]

I guess people really do like different things innit

I thought TLOU was aggresively mid as a game as a whole

[brittle badge]

we just talking story here

[restive quarry]

don't forget the 2nd video game that had a story, clair obscur expedition 33

these are the only 2 video games with a story

[knotty apex]

That's right

[polar summit]

I didn't see the story as much better than re9 tbh

[restive quarry]

tlou is fucking abysmal dogshit

[polar summit]

I didn't really vibe with it idk

and TLOU2 story was just dogwater full stop

the gameplay was great tho

[coarse kettle]

If you see the whole story of resident evil is kinda good

If you see games alone… no

[polar summit]

I mean I definitely wouldn't say it's the best shit ever

it's still just kinda average

but it works well for the type of games RE are

imo anyway

[brittle badge]

re to me is just " get into shit situations for some reasons, then get out, with michael bay spectacles"

been there since 1 to 9

story is ... servicable but not its strong point

like take resident evil 3 from 1998

somehow shits been happening and jill was just chilling in her apartment instead of trying to get out days before

[polar summit]

it is more of a

enjoy the ride kind of thing

than think about it too much

Also i think almost all RE characters are just

cool

[brittle badge]

RE been insane since 2000, take code veronica, u saying this girl claire was a normal girl prior to re 2 and now she's out here doing stunts at the beginning of the game like a seasoned special agent

fun games anyways

[polar summit]

Yea I mean that's part of the reason why i found Grace compelling

[restive quarry]

claire was trained by stars members, just unofficially

[coarse kettle]

It’s the bloodline 🩸

[brittle badge]

leon was a normal cop, then he's now doing parry against objects with 10 tons of mass and be like "I'm sekiro now"

shit is fun as fk tho

but it's so dumb

[polar summit]

tbf that was AFTER additional training he got

post RE2

[brittle badge]

did you know he can parry a rocket launcher from the final boss?

like he can actually do that

[polar summit]

no

lmao

[brittle badge]

[polar summit]

but that's cool

LOL

[brittle badge]

they shoulda just clone Leon instead of making B.O.W

[polar summit]

https://tenor.com/view/ohhh-duh-why-didnt-i-think-of-that-gif-21849807

[brittle badge]

I was thinking maybe I'm tripping when the final boss took out a rocket launcher outta nowhere and blast me and I hold the parry button in a panic, somehow he parried it

shit's so peak I swear

reason why I dislike re9, not enough playtime for both characters

[polar summit]

I think I agree with you with that on Leon's parts

they felt a little thin

compared to something like 4remake

in the sense that

there's maybe too much downtime in his sections

[brittle badge]

it just felt leon's half was rushed, they had 2 bosses consecutively right after another

I feel like his part shoulda been maybe twice as long

grace's felt just right

[polar summit]

I don't like when these type of games overstay their welcome

so i think the runtime was fine

[restive quarry]

length was definitely just right for me

another hour or so and it would have been overstaying for sure

[brittle badge]

not enough gameplay for me on the leon's part

[polar summit]

and I liked how every leon segment felt unique in a way

just play it again

easy content

[brittle badge]

the more u play the more u optimize and the shorter it gets

[polar summit]

just like any RE game

[static ivy]

Does anyone know how to get rid of this issue? At different points the game has weird lighting artifacts. I think it only happens when DLSS is on. It's very distracting

[polar summit]

what driver are you on

i had this with 595

[knotty apex]

todays driver is the cause of this

nvidia is on a roll

[polar summit]

I think shaders don't load properly or something

[static ivy]

Yeah I'm on the lastest too

[polar summit]

yea that's 100% the cause

[static ivy]

Damn Nvidia...

[polar summit]

I thought they'd at least fix that but no

lmao

[knotty apex]

game ready btw

[polar summit]

worth noting those issues only happen with RT

not with PT

or no RT at all

[limpid ivy]

Wow , cool result . Tell me please , this shader its from RenoDx mode , some slider in there ?

[velvet ferry]

Interesting tested the game on my s90c 4k qdoled and the default settings look a fair bit different than on my msi mpg 341cqr x36 qd-oled.

[tropic shell]

@fierce wedge so is your setting for custom film grain at 50 just your personal preference, or are you defaulting it for some benefical reasons for gameplay that are unknown to me since i only started playing. Thx in advance

[unique snow]

I have it turned off, didn't like it with PT

[fierce wedge]

i think the grace section at the start of the care center is scarier than any part in 7

[signal sky]

It’s up there for sure

Later on that area becomes less scary but still pretty tense

[restive quarry]

i don't think it's as scary as what re7 gets up to, but i was also much more of a scaredy-cat when i was playing re7, so it's hard for me to judge that

[lyric bridge]

Re7 vr tho, I haven't tried it myself but that sounds horrific

[restive quarry]

i've never been as physically on edge as i was with Marguerite

[fierce wedge]

ya that's the game's color grading. I would never turn that off, at least not for an initial playthrough. Also the tint it applies varies per area.

[signal sky]

Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking

If I played this 5y ago I would DIE

As I in fact did with 7

[fierce wedge]

Preference

The game already has grain

I just replaced it with ShortFuse’s

[queen kernel]

Finished the game today. Played the whole thing in SDR.
I think I read somewhere that reframework causes noticeable fps drops?

Is that true?

[signal sky]

Not sure haven’t played without cause native hdr is atrocious

[rare steeple]

believe that was resolved https://github.com/praydog/REFramework/issues/1564#issuecomment-3977473190

[queen kernel]

hence why i decided to just have the first playthrough in SDR. tried Native for a sec and didn't like it.

[queen kernel]

thank you 🙂

[rare steeple]

i played with native hdr and lillium's black floor fix and thought it looked great

happy to have a mod now though

[fierce wedge]

i think native looks ok if you lower the brightness setting to fix the weird scaling

and use black floor fix

then you can raise the brightness back up if you need to with lilum brightness adjustment shader

[queen kernel]

i haven't even installed reshade for the game yet. i wanted to have a normal playthrough without bothering with settings and such. was the right decision 🙂

[signal sky]

Yeah I just waited one day for the goat Musa to release it and then started

[queen kernel]

nah, sir, not gonna be using Native when you made a Reno addon lol

[formal grotto]

Btw I now had to limit with RTSS to 100fps while in 120hz mode for VRR not to have flicker and to be absolutly smooth. Even though the frametime graph was great before the gsync did not work correctly and I had still some screen tearing on the lower half of the screen with anything between 100 and 120 fps .... As soon as i set it to 100fps it became noticably smoother. Testing by turning with controller in rehabilitation care center lobby.... Dlss quality + 2x framegen

Also a friend bought Requiem on epic store and his dlss quality level saves normally and does not reset to performance on every restart 🤣 has something to do with the version from Steam or installing it on C drive.

[signal sky]

Mine is not on C drive so its steam

[signal sky]

I ended up turning Vsync on cause after some more testing in other areas I had small flicker whether it was on or off or limited to 100. Didn´t really change

Its really small tho and doesn´t bother me

And I also was getting tearing with vsync off no matter what, not a lot but yeah

We just gotta learn to live with a bit of flicker on OLED, it is what it is

[versed magnet]

I also continued to have VRR flicker, and tried different solutions. The best I feel is using Display Commander with these settings. Keeps GSYNC on, but with no flicker. It does increase input latency from 45 to 60 ms, but doesn't feel bad at all. It disables reflex, I think. The key is the Safe Mode FPS limiter. That gets rid of flicker. But only if reflex is disabled it seems.

Replacing DLSS FG with FSR3 FG also got rid of flicker. But had some pixelated artifact in places. Nothing too bad, but prefer the above solution.

[carmine lantern]

Does it get rid of flicker because fsr fg doesn’t force reflex?

[versed magnet]

Hmm, not sure. Maybe. Nvidia overlay couldn't figure out the latency when replacing with FSR FG, so not sure.

[formal grotto]

Very likely. Something is wrong with reflex, turning it off and on again once you are starting the game switches it actually on and the input lag goes from 60 to 40 but also introduces flicker. Starting the game and not touching the graphic settings leaves the latency at 60ms with framegen enabled.

[fierce wedge]

that might be why I was thinking the game was running better when I launched it last

[versed magnet]

I think I have VRR flicker in all games I use DLSS framegen in. Alan Wake 2, Indiana Jones, and this.
Not sure about Doom Dark Ages though.

[formal grotto]

Yep I think so. Enable the nvidia "alt+r" overlay and notice how the latency shift once you make changes to reflex/dlss quality/framegen while you are ingame 🙂

[formal grotto]

Indiana jones and doom dark ages are both idtech engine and behave very similar if I had to guess so its unlikely one does it differently.

[signal sky]

Its always fucking reflex fr

[carmine lantern]

Idk what it is about Indiana jones for me but even at a high fps and smooth frame times it feels so juddery

And the vrr flicker is insane in it

[restive quarry]

Nvidia slopflex

[carmine lantern]

Also doesn’t help that all cutscenes cap to 60

[signal sky]

Imma try DC

[formal grotto]

Haha you probably play the Windows game pass version?

[carmine lantern]

On steam

[versed magnet]

I think I got it down to a manageable level by capping it at 100 FPS, with native framepacing in SK.

[carmine lantern]

The auto saves in the Vatican are also obnoxious

[formal grotto]

Yes 100 fps limit is somehow very magical on my 5090 with Requiem and gsync

[carmine lantern]

Micro stutters every couple seconds

[signal sky]

How do I import this? Just copy paste?

[formal grotto]

Okay sad, a problem with game pass is that nvidia does not detect the game if not on steam which adds terrible stutter when turning the camera 🤣

[carmine lantern]

The microstutters are just from the autosaves

Which idk why they never added an option to disable or limit frequency

Legit every couple metres at some points

[signal sky]

Youre using default cap and advanced setting reflex to off right? Might be easier that way xD

[versed magnet]

Try just putting that .toml file in the root folder of the game.

I had to do some weird back and forth switching on and off of reflex to disable it. Kinda hard to explain, and not sure exactly what the variables are called in the config file.

[signal sky]

That seems to work yeah

Flicker still there tho

It’s veeeery subtle

But it’s there

[versed magnet]

Hmm, damn. For me it's completely gone.

Except for when real frametime lurches happen of course. Traversal stutters and the like.

[signal sky]

Imma try rebooting to see if it load stuff correctly

Nah still there

[sand pivot]

so guys! to many messages! question i have 4090! should i update driver or keep old?

[sharp stump]

the voltage issue that happened in 595.59 doesn't affect 4xxx series.

So fans and voltages and all that are fine.

Though it is affecting all the 5xxx users.

I am on 4080 and don't have the voltage issue.

[sand pivot]

stop it!!!!

now it flip to 5xxx series ahahaha

[fresh bison]

afaik, SK is still the only way to diable reflex when using FG, DC has an option to suppress but at least with the latest version at nioh 3 launch it doesn't get disabled with that option

[formal grotto]

Latest owen video compares 5090 with old, very old and new driver and depending on the scene the performance in best or worst with the new driver 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

https://youtu.be/MOKUqmCwjMo

[sharp stump]

A lot of the 4xxx users and 3xxx users say they got fps boost from latest drivers. in resident evil 9 requiem.

Still not as good as 575 drivers or whatever those are.

[signal sky]

Yeah doesnt seem to work. SK gives me headaches to get running sadly

I don´t have MPOs in my TV

Cause Nvidia

I wont waste more time in it since flicker in this game is pretty minimal but man

Please fix fucking reflex nvidia

[fresh bison]

reflex 😡

[sand pivot]

updating! let's see

[signal sky]

They announced reflex 2 and then said fuck it

Its literally what´s killing my experience in high profile games where I need reflex and FG

I always get some flicker here and there

[fresh bison]

low gpu utilization and vrr flicker are important reflex features

[signal sky]

They should at least let you turn it off

Why the fuck is that not an option

[sharp stump]

This is screenshot of my Afterburner for my 4080 with RE9 open.

[signal sky]

You can use RTSS overlay

[sharp stump]

nah. don't like using RTSS lol

plus you can see my driver version in the screenshot. That immediatly shows I don't have voltage issue lol.

[foggy tide]

time for insanity

[sharp stump]

I've read insanity is worse than RE4R insanity

the enemies are extremely spongey and you don't keep everything in NG+

[signal sky]

Holyyyy that´s fast

[sand pivot]

but how were ur frames?

i did updates scene hits 62 fps

will roll back now

[sharp stump]

well depends. in some areas I hit 110 or 80 fps with fg on.

I am playing at 1440p with DLSS Quality.

[sand pivot]

i'm pretty sure this scene was in the 80s yesterday

i will confirm now

[sharp stump]

clinic?

[sand pivot]

leon first scene in Raccoon

[sharp stump]

clinic area in first room you start in I am about same fps.

oh Raccon city I hear hits GPU's hard.

[sand pivot]

yup i either check that scene or first

[sharp stump]

I am not looking forward to that.

[sand pivot]

the issue is on heavy PT scenes

clinic has always be the same either or

now scene hits 102

thats 40 fps !!!

i can't make this up man ahaha

[foggy tide]

casual diff, infinite ammo, skip cutscenes

[signal sky]

Welp makes sense

[signal sky]

Can you do infinite ammo and such for insanity?

Or they block that

I want to do it for the trophy lol

(I assume there is one)

[brittle badge]

yes, but spongey is still spongey, a blister head takes 3 requiem to the head to die

it's not designed around not having unlimited ammo

best weapons with unlimited ammo is the semi auto rifle with the scope off and charm on and aim for the head, more consistent than using the magnum revolvers

or just parry with mortal edge

[distant marlin]

any idea what's causing this rain effect?

[foggy tide]

you can

[blazing fiber]

Im avoiding playing because i dont want it to end. Shits just soo good man

[wet kiln]

How the heck is my gpu 50-53°C all the time in this game despite having tried like 4 different drivers 💀

Wonder if it's not drawing enough power

[spark vale]

I'm getting some weird over and underexposure effects while playing as Leon, during cutscenes and transition some zones in the medical center

it only happens when I ahve the renodx tonemapper turned on

https://streamable.com/txsh8o

not recorded in HDR but you get the idea

[onyx kestrel]

I stopped my PS5 Pro playthough to play on PC when I heard the RenoDX mod dropped. Night and day difference. Even adds to the scare factor. Well done.

[solid shale]

does anyone know how i get higher FPS with DLAA than custom 95% render scale in nvidia app??

thats really odd lol

i thought 95% was lower than DLAA's 100%

[solid shale]

im on newest driver and my 4080 super is hitting 64c or higher (this has been running for like 2min)

bro i gotta figure out how to fix this ugly shit

even with DLAA and Preset K i get this

damn

it only happens in some areas

and goes away when i shine my flashlight

weird

[dense sapphire]

driver issue I think

[foggy tide]

do you have MFG enabled? i get weird noises on X3 but not on X2

[solid shale]

nah i have a 4080, only on 2x

[solid shale]

damn i just updated to the new one today

i noticed this a bit yesterday with the old driver tho too

[dense sapphire]

I could be wrong, I remember reading a comment about white noise in the new driver thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1ritsbd/game_ready_driver_59571_faqdiscussion/o88z3ff/

[solid shale]

idk i saw it in rdr2 first like a month ago when 4.5 launched

but it was with the new M or L presets

[dense sapphire]

Idk if the same issue

[solid shale]

i see it in RE9 even with K and DLAA

[dense sapphire]

I notice white noise in pitch black areas sometimes, but nothing like that

[unkempt seal]

That's what I did in AW2 with Display Commander using reflex limiter to 100 fps and any VRR flickering fully gone in that case

[unkempt seal]

RR or PT?

[lime nimbus]

@unkempt seal @teal mountain @surreal cliff has the new driver fixed FG stuttering for you guys?

I saw comments in the Reddit thread saying it did, so wondering if I should update

[heady arch]

The game is smooth

although I never had major stutters before

[surreal cliff]

Couldn’t play a lot since I installed the new driver but I still had some micro freezes, maybe less severe. But it might be shader compilation since it was new drivers.

[lime nimbus]

Alright lemme know if you play a bit more

[dense sapphire]

Yes PT. Only really noticed it in the beginning hotel

[lime nimbus]

Ok the new driver gimps core clocks and voltage as per testing

I won’t be updating in that case

[surreal cliff]

I wonder if my undervolting is making things even worse maybe?

[lime nimbus]

Your uv with the new driver would hit worse clocks

Because the voltage is being capped

[jolly mist]

Do yall reccomend using the mod for this game yet? or waiting for a newer one, im super new to renodx so im trying to figure out wtf im doing lol

also, idk whre to even copy and paste the file in the games files tbh

[winged apex]

I only played a bit of the intro as Grace in the hotel. At several points when moving around I had some huge frametime spikes causing a big visible stutter, 5090 and 9800x3d

I wonder if it's REFramework? I am on latest nightly

[heady arch]

The game precompiles the shaders when you launch it, so doubt they are shader stutters

[heady arch]

Just install it and select ''Match SDR''

[surreal cliff]

I doubt it precompiles all the shaders on startup, no game ever does. But still it’s strange to have such different feedback between players.

[heady arch]

TLOU 1 did it on launch and it was talking 20-30 mins to finish 😛 Then they significantly reduced the time but not all shaders were compiled, leading to hitches during gameplay

There are stutters when zooming with the sniper to close enemies

[serene shore]

It's frame-gen and the stutters still exist in the latest drivers. Also for those who overclock, the latest driver doesn't allow for higher clocks than 3000mhz for some reason w/ a 5080. I rolled back to 591.86 and it fixed it

[jolly mist]

where is that at? or u mean in the ingame settings?

591.86 is the latest recommended driver ?

I installed the one that got deleted, no issues so far but I’m starting to get a bit worry about fan issues

(Didn’t try Requiem yet)

[winged apex]

I only saw people saying the new drivers fixed fg stutter

I dont have a point of comparison because I updated prior to playing

But these stutters don't look like anything to do with FG

[lyric bridge]

I had to delete the shader cache file to prompt the compilation step when using Reno

[winged apex]

They are big stalls like something in the render thread

[marble iron]

i still have stutters with FG with the new driver on a 5090, but i don't think it's FG, it looks more like traversal/autosave stutters

[winged apex]

Yes, but I had 2 big stalls like that when going through a bathroom

dont think it was autosave

[marble iron]

stutters completely go away if i disable FG and lock to 60 but playing at 60 sucks

[serene shore]

Yes i also saw this. Did some tests yesterday but they are still here on my end. If i disable frame gen they disappear. Also did a clean driver install just to be safe

[serene shore]

You don't need to lock at 60 for the stutters to disappear

[winged apex]

Well I know what FG stutters look like which is like uneven frame pacing micro stutter, these are big stalls like assets loading or shaders compiling

I only started getting them inside the hotel

the whole part leading up to getting there had no drops

[marble iron]

yeah, frame pacing is actually good with FG, it feels smooth, but there are occasionally some big stalls

[marble iron]

there are actually some shader stutters too. when you turn the lighter on as grace for the first time on a new driver there's gonna be a stutter

[serene shore]

Perhaps you 're right. I'm just thinking they might be related to fg cause if I replay the hotel section without it I don't get them anymore. Almost like fg enables something that causes these stutters which are bigger in duration than the normal fg stuttering as you mentioned

[marble iron]

maybe reflex is the root cause?

[serene shore]

My replays were with reflex on, so maybe not. However I have heard that reflex is broken when not enabling fg. Don't know how true that is

[knotty apex]

Mh Wilds has a similar issue which oddly seems to be tied to dlss sr instead of uh anything you'd actually expect

In that case I noted that you get a big stutter every 40s or so from just having it turned on with or without dlss fg

Fsr fg is able to prevent or mask it somehow

Disabling HAGS in windows fixes it though doing so locks you out of dlss fg completely

Capcom removes Enigma DRM from Resident Evil 4 remake (Enigma DRM was added 28 days ago) https://t.co/CuSBXgsH5g

X · Mar 3, 2026, 5:05 AM

game is playable again without crack

or old exe lol

[marble iron]

lol why would they add it at all just to remove it almost instantly

so denuvo is gone too?

[heady arch]

[heady arch]

They removed denuvo and put their own Enigma garbage which hurt performance a lot..People complained and now they removed Enigma

[marble iron]

huh, i wonder if they actually listened to complaints and that's why it was removed

[heady arch]

Since they removed denuvo, the game was immediately cracked. So there was no point for another DRM

[marble iron]

what's crazy is that they put the same enigma drm in dino crisis releases. protecting 20+ years old game lol

[heady arch]

If a game is good, it will sell..DRM is just cancer.

[marble iron]

exactly. cyberpunk had great success without any drm, same goes for baldurs gate 3

[mental glen]

Crazy that they’d even listen

[formal grotto]

Yes it is broken. Enable nvidia performance overlay. Enable dlss and Reflex, reflex does not work and the overlay shows 60ms latency. When enabling frame generation the latency drops to 40ms and the game feels more snappy too. But also introduces flicker and stutters if you are not limiting your fps between 100-114.

[formal grotto]

Have you tried a 100fps limit with gsync/vrr enabled?

[unkempt seal]

Reflex doesn’t work without FG?

[unkempt seal]

This. I’d try to framecap with DC.
Think imma wait a couple weeks for updates and driver updates before I dive into the game lol

[heady arch]

Nope

[marble iron]

you mean with FG? no, i've tried 120 and there are still stutters

[formal grotto]

Yes with frame generation, with 100fps limit on 120hz mode on screen the game is suddenly totally smooth, no hitches, smooth turning and frametimes. Limitting to 102 gives me hitches again 🤣

[marble iron]

interesting

[formal grotto]

Please try that and confirm I'm going insane

[marble iron]

do you have vsync on in nvcp?

[unique snow]

Capcom say that ~ 50% of its games sales are from PC (as of Q3), expect this number to continue increasing, will strengthen PC development framework
https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/data/result.html

and they sell most on PC

[formal grotto]

Off as it caused flickering

[wet kiln]

This shit broke my game - it wouldn't even launch from steam. The getaround using an older .exe before that update worked for me lol

[wet kiln]

Is there any way to fix the issue with hair flickering/ghosting like crazy with FG on in this game btw

[unique snow]

maybe you are forcing some dlss preset that causes issue

I did not have that.

[wet kiln]

Yeah preset K, but I reset it back to og dlss 4 with the default preset and it was still noticeable, forcing vsync to fast in nvcp seems to have minimized this issue for some reason

[marble lotus]

I'm assuming this is discussed and possibly debunked here, but some guy says the Reno mod is crushing shadows and I wanted to know why he's wrong if he is. Sorry to waste anyone's time

https://img.home.hexmode.org/images/rer/

[formal grotto]

Minor spoiler alert for that picture btw.

Yes you should check the "preserve shadow detail preset" if you think shadows look off (crushed).

[unkempt seal]

even made a webpage for it and everything

Scotopic vision range (below 0.01 nits) activates only after 30 minutes of being in a complete darkness and scotopic vision lacks any colour perception

TIL

[unique snow]

afaik the current renodx release has changed this anyways

[marble lotus]

Why does this happen? Thanks

[marble lotus]

What's it changed?

[limpid ivy]

A patch was recently released for Alan Wake Remastered, which adds 10-bit color for SDR. Can you tell me if Requiem for SDR already has a 10-bit color or can it be added using RenoDx?

[unique snow]

renodx can even do 16bit

[marble lotus]

where did you learn this? That's cool!

[unique snow]

oh I meant there are options for you if shadows are crushed, I think it is called "preserve shadow details"

• add preserve shadow detail button that improves visibility in dark scenes

via https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/20?tab=files

[marble lotus]

yeah that's what the other guy said Hydrophil

[kind fossil]

https://biorand.net/

[unique snow]

already re9 support?

doesn't seem like it

[unkempt seal]

literally on the website you posted 😄

[winged apex]

i don't get what's the best reno preset for this game

[small igloo]

if you ask me just use default

"match sdr" has black crush which I don't like cause it feels unnatural

but definitely a bit scarier

I use preserve shadows and even then I pushed shadow brightness up a bit

it's kinda straining my eyes otherwise

[unkempt seal]

what monitor / tv do you have?

[small igloo]

LG C5

[unkempt seal]

interesting. I don't have the game yet so can't attest to anything. LG C9 here. Just don't get why match sdr would have black crush tbh

[unique snow]

best = what is best for you, I e.g. put game/ui brightness down to 100, but I also play in a dark room

[small igloo]

it's creator's intent

[unkempt seal]

paperwhite 100 nits?

[unique snow]

yea

game default is 300

mod default is 203

[unkempt seal]

yeah I usually hover around 140-160. I do like a lower paper white so it feels more dramatic / impactful

[winged apex]

i mean match sdr sounds like what's intended as default?

[small igloo]

if you want creator's intent go with match sdr yea

[kind fossil]

https://opm.fransbouma.com/Cameras/residentevilrequiem.htm

Otis_inf cam tools are out 👌

[tropic shell]

My experience so far:
After Renodx HDR, Sdr is now unplayable for me. In dark rooms and especially in transitional rooms where you go from dark to bright and vice versa the transition is so distracting. The same effect i get with match SDR and preserve shadow detail options. Currently everything is looking great for me at default Renodx settings in HDR . I only disabled film grain for my preference. Regarding performance. I have 4070 ti , 5700x3d . Capped at stable 120hz at max settings except shadow one tick lower and high RT with x2 frame gen at DLSS Quality. Vrr is disabled cause i cant stand flicker and raised blacks. WOLED panel with VRR simply doesnt work for me if Fps is a lot under my native 240hz for the reasons i mentioned. Btw using latest nvidia drivers with no problems. Only stutters i see are the autosave parts and ocassional shimmering and boiling artifacts that are from RT, but that cannot be helped without Nvidia or Re updates.

[small igloo]

so what settings do you use in Reno?

[tropic shell]

Just using default at preset 1 with 800nit cap for my xg27aqdmg and lowered to 0 custom film grain.

And ingame calibration for Hdr set as guided by game.

Again if you are testing match sdr and preserve shadow option you must disable then enable hdr ingame for settings to hook.

[unkempt seal]

so anything other than default in Reno causes eye adaptation to be abrupt?

[dense sapphire]

Why is native res significantly brighter than using upscaling? 🤔

[vagrant haven]

Maybe I missed somewhere that specified, but what do the different presets do for RE9? I think there’s like 3 or 4 different ones

[tropic shell]

Presets are all same at default except "off" option. They are used for your covenience to have it set up each to your liking.

[small igloo]

not really an eye adaption issue as much as simply black crush

you have scenes where shadows are mostly absolute black and then you walk a bit further and you have normal lighting

as I said I think the sdr look is kinda hard on the eyes even in a dark room

you can't see anything a lot of the time

[bleak grotto]

Should I delete the remove film grain mod if I use this mod, and just remove film grain using it?

[small igloo]

probably yea

doesn't make sense having 2 mods that can do the same thing

[dense sapphire]

DLSS Quality / DLAA

[gritty pond]

yeah, any level of upscaling lowers the brightness, considerably in some scenes

[chilly gyro]

16.5 hours to beat the game, god knows how reviews were doing it in 8 lol 😂

[brittle badge]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiw-tT7skgo||

[scenic narwhal]

is this build better than one from nexus mods ?

[dense sapphire]

Yeah that was me, noticed it the first day but forgot about it

[gritty pond]

lmao I missed the name when looking back to forward the message

[dense sapphire]

Some scenes there's barely any difference

But that one was huge

[gritty pond]

even in the preview image when selecting the quality setting in the menu, you can see the brightness jump up for native

[dense sapphire]

oh true it does, never noticed that

bizarre

taa matches dlaa for brightness

[gritty pond]

this is DLAA vs. performance with the same Reno and in-game settings otherwise

[dense sapphire]

How does that even happen

[gritty pond]

same behaviour when totally vanilla, of course, but Reno makes the differences stand out more because it's not washed out

DLAA / performance

[copper raven]

Is this with PT?

[gritty pond]

yeah, all my screens are

[copper raven]

Does it happens at RT High too? I thought maybe it is related to RR

[dense sapphire]

It kind of looks overexposed here at native, but idk. Maybe I'm just used to how it looks while upscaling #1475306538481483920 message

Happens with raster as well

I tested TAA vs DLAA

[gritty pond]

if DLAA is a match for TAA, I'm inclined to believe that's the intended look and upscaling is what's botching it somehow

[dense sapphire]

maybe, although I think console is upscaling in every mode

wonder how it compares to console

[copper raven]

There is much more shadow detail here in DLAA. Many people thought match SDR was crushing shadow details too much. Maybe it was not intentional to crush it this much if its a bug 🤔

[dense sapphire]

That's what I thought too, but I checked another scene that was super dark and there wasn't much difference

[somber field]

disable PT and use preset M. I think the brightness should be the same as native. Cant find it know but the new presets M especially did something to tonemapping (ie changes when it happens or similar) cant find it know. RR did not and a a gen 2 update... yet

Found it. Did not go through the whole video so no timestamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeLpB93yLR4&t=840s

[dense sapphire]

this is different than what M does

[gritty pond]

yeah, M/L are far better at resolving highlight brightness, but this is the whole image becoming dimmer, not just highlights, shadowed regions are where it's most noticeable

[dense sapphire]

Performance / DLAA

[somber field]

Not sure then . Turh off PT and compare with M preset

[dense sapphire]

Looks similar here

[somber field]

Is PT off here?

[unique snow]

amazing lol

[sonic musk]

Happens with RenoDX too?

[gritty pond]

yeah

[dense sapphire]

No PT on. I already tried with PT off, comparing TAA to DLAA and DLSS. TAA and DLAA match, DLSS is dimmer

[dense sapphire]

Yes

Happens with SDR too

[brittle badge]

he does even more amazing stuffs in the game ... that's just the tip of the iceberg, leon is at kratos territory now

[dense sapphire]

Performance / DLAA

[sonic musk]

Happens with FSR1 too?

[dense sapphire]

See here shadow detail is similar, they're both crushed. So I don't think the game being crushed has to do with this

[unique snow]

I know, finished the game!

or would have not clicked a spoiler!

[gritty pond]

it does darken near black in certain scenes, like look at the structure to Grace's right, the shadowed region of her backpack and the door archway to her left in my screens I just forwarded

[brittle badge]

nemesis needed to be taken out with beeg ass railgun ... leon is like ...

[dense sapphire]

TAA / DLAA / FSR 1 / DLSS Q

FSR 1 doesn't dim like dlss quality does

[dense sapphire]

TAA / DLSS Q / PS5 Pro

[polar summit]

I think this is only visible in screenshots

btw

when i take a screenshot it does not look like it does in game

[dense sapphire]

Maybe bad comparison, hard to tell there

[dense sapphire]

Definitely visible in-game

[polar summit]

not for me

My game on performance matches DLAA screenshot

but the performance screenshot is dimmer

[gritty pond]

screenshots aren't going to look different to in-game and gugbyump's got Lilium's analysis shader visible in some of these comparisons and you can see the difference in it

[polar summit]

okay DLAA doesnt match either screenshot

it's cooked

yea

[karmic jasper]

is dlaa too dim or is dlaa too bright

who knows

[gritty pond]

DLAA seems right

it matches TAA and FSR1

[karmic jasper]

i highly doubt this game was made with native rendering in mind on any of the platforms

Does this happen in SDR?

[dense sapphire]

happens in SDR

looked at DF's console video and it definitely matches PC when upscaling

[karmic jasper]

Yeah because native was never a target

[dense sapphire]

PC upscaling / PC native / PS5

[green raven]

What resolution ?

[dense sapphire]

1440p but doesn't matter

sign is overexposed at native

lol but the 120hz mode is brighter, because it's using FSR 1

So who knows

[gritty pond]

the 120Hz mode should be a match for base PS5 and Xbox Series S/X as well

maybe not Switch 2 if that's using DLSS?

[sonic musk]

120hz mode has no RT, that's why it's brightner

[dense sapphire]

idk why it's so washed out in their comparison though

yeah I tried no RT on PC and it looks nothing like that

[sonic musk]

hmm

[dense sapphire]

Unless there's settings that I have to lower, but I don't think any of them would alter it that much

[fierce wedge]

I found it too crushed. Similar to how I felt about re4.

[fierce wedge]

Marginally
