Resident Evil Requiem

[fair heart]

I know one probably exists, but I just wanted to complain lol

[nocturne vine]

Lmao

Valid.

[sweet thicket]

There’s an awesome movement mod that’s I’ve used for awhile. I don’t believe it increases speed but it makes both Leon and Grace feel a lot more fluid. Let me try to find it

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/653

What are you recording settings?

If you don’t mind sharing 😄

[oak flint]

Using this #1165308683090137160 message

[sweet thicket]

Ty!!

[toxic narwhal]

Lossless scaling adaptive frame gen with a second GPU does this and it's magic when it works right

[wild ridge]

Tbh it feels like that should make sense because she should be injured quite a bit at this point

[fair heart]

I thought about giving this a try but everyone I’ve spoken to says that the Nvidia frame gen is better

[fierce wedge]

before it was basically just stretching out their curve that was built into a LUT

but I found the exact tonemapping code they used to generate the LUT while working on pragmata

[fair heart]

going to try this now lol

👀

[fair heart]

possibly cursed but running DC and Relimiter together 😄

[fair heart]

Great lighting, seemed like a good spot to take a selfie

[fair heart]

Finally beat the game. So when do we get RE 10? 😄

[static fossil]

Leon is ruining the pic

[fair heart]

Told him he was killing the vibe

[worldly sedge]

Regarding renoDX for RE9, we agree that you only need the dinput.dll file and the renoDX file in the game's root directory for it to work. Is that the only requirement?

[oak flint]

Reshade dxgi.dll

[worldly sedge]

Huh? I don't understand why you're talking about the ReShade.dll We absolutely have to use the ReShade addon to run RenoDX. My question concerns the other prerequisite, the dinput.dll file. Is this the only file that needs to be put in the root directory? Because on the GitHub page there are other files, and I also have Re:Framework appearing in the top left corner when I launch my game, so I'm wondering...

Since I don't speak English and use a translator, the translation is never 100% clear, and I wonder if I've missed something... It's rare for games to require other prerequisites to run RenoDX, just ReShade, and here I have other things to add, so I'm wondering if I've done something wrong.

[oak flint]

Dinput only needed

[worldly sedge]

A big thank you, nice friend.

[sweet thicket]

What do you guys use the take HDR screenshots? I've watched some videos on snipping tool, Special K, etc but wanted your guys' take

Also, is ShareX just never going to implement HDR?

[earnest ether]

gamebar or whatever its called creates a .png and .jxr

[sweet thicket]

I got rid of gamebar from my PC, but I may have to redownload it

[earnest ether]

works best for me but i havent looked into it too much. Reshade just regular printscreen does .png too

[sweet thicket]

Oh, does it?

[earnest ether]

pretty sure it does, and saves it where your .exe is in whatever game

[oak flint]

Reshade
print button on keyboard

[sweet thicket]

Thanks!

[true sonnet]

I think the final area in this game is a great test for near black details

Just finished the game last night

[fair heart]

So did I

[true sonnet]

It looked brilliant on my G5

That cave portion of that final area

[fair heart]

Yeah game looks excellent on OLED

[true sonnet]

Just wow

[fair heart]

I’m kinda sad it’s over now lol

Wish there was more to do in a replay, but I hear we will get a DLC soon

[true sonnet]

Ya I picked the bad ending at first and me and my gf were like wtf

True ending was so good

I may just try out the insanity mode if we have rocket launcher

I am so glad I didn’t give up at the basement

[fair heart]

Remember I told you to keep going?

[true sonnet]

Ya it was so much fun after the basement

[fair heart]

Glad ya kept with it

I had some performance issues in Raccoon City, but other than that 10/10 game

[worldly umbra]

hey my game is crashing on startup with renodx

i just got the mod from nexus

[oak flint]

Working fine here

[worldly umbra]

the new reframework build was the problem

i got the old one and it was fine

[sweet thicket]

Yeah the latest framework crashed my game too

Latest nightly*

[worldly bear]

Should i use default or sdr match preset for this game?

[fair heart]

BSAA Emblem charm on the sniper rifle, with no scope… you’ll thank me later

[fair heart]

I just use RHI to stay updated

[oak flint]

Default

[keen rapids]

i am getting crash on startup with the new nightly reframework. which version should i use instead?

[sweet thicket]

RHI?

[stray finch]

https://discord.com/channels/1408098019194310818/1474481327691665553 (RHI)

[sweet thicket]

Woah

[fair heart]

yeah its a game changer for keeping everything up to date. The only thing it doesn't pull from is Discord if there is a bleeding edge released on one of the channels, but you can just drag and drop that in

[oak flint]

Why framegen don't work on prologue cutscene

[wet kiln]

Is there an ultrawide cutscene mod that works with renodx mod yet?

[gritty pond]

REFramework itself can do that

graphics tab, tick ultrawide/aspect ratio fix, override FOV, and enable vertical FOV @wet kiln

[devout dove]

REFramework crashes for me for no reason Edit: Worked after i used re framework 1362

[unkempt seal]

yep, it never does

[wet kiln]

Ty it works

[fair heart]

I recommend Reshade HDR Installer tool to keep all that up to date

[devout dove]

It crashes though

[fair heart]

Did you update it?

[devout dove]

Yeah, i used an older version and it didnt crash

[oak flint]

in game brightness max - full, min- 0, average - mid.

[analog cave]

@fierce wedge Yo, my renodx is the latest but it doesn't show the aces tab anymore idk what happened if it's a reframework update thing or what

Okay interesting

just reinstalling it went back to the newest one even though it was reporting I had the latest one

wtf

[unkempt seal]

what is this supposed to illustrate? that in-game brightness is doing something? oO

[oak flint]

Nah, just comparing, paper white between 200 and 300

[unkempt seal]

too high, needs like 140 or 120 nits :> its a spoopy game

[oak flint]

i think 150, 225, 300 paper white suit this game, according to room light. Although, horror genere are meant to play in dark room.

@fierce wedge
is this correct ?
according to SDR match - Paper white 300
according to math - Paper white 225
according to caliberation - Paper white 150

[fierce wedge]

I would say that the math doesn't really work anyway and should be ignored but ya

can't remember about calibration but whatever the image peaks at is the actual value of the cvar in the code

but that cvar doesn't really map to diffuse white properly

[oak flint]

vanilla HDR pw is much closer to Renodx 225 or 240 pw, maybe

[abstract sedge]

Hey guys! Should I use the "match SDR/purist" option with SDR EOTF emulation set to "off" or should I leave everything at default with the match SDR option?

[sweet thicket]

Its preference

[abstract sedge]

But which one is more similar to how the devs likely wanted it to look like?

[sweet thicket]

Purist

[abstract sedge]

perfect thanks! So without SDR EOTF emulation set to "off"?

[fierce wedge]

Honestly purist looks like shit to the point of not being plausible

More likely the devs moved to grading in hdr

The nexus version is newer and much better

Doesn’t have purist anymore

What was called purist before is now called match sdr

[ember flare]

So for the Nexus version what do you suggest?

I just did a playthrough with defaults but lowered film grain to 10

[fierce wedge]

Defaults on nexus

Well 203 brightness is way too high for me but people like that

I’d recommend lowering it to around 150

[ember flare]

It looked great indeed

I'm on a shitty miniled

[fierce wedge]

Ya then 203 is better

[ember flare]

And it looked very good

[fierce wedge]

On my old miniLED tv

[ember flare]

Better than launch day for sure

[fierce wedge]

I would use a higher game brightness

Since lowering it too much

Would put too much of the image into the darker end where the display just wasn’t capable of showing it properly

[ember flare]

Yeah dimming zones and all that

[analog apex]

i find myself always using exactly 125 brightness with almost all games so far using renodx on my lg c1 in a dark room, anything lower looks a bit dim to my liking and anything higher looks really bright especially the usual 203 default lol

[sweet thicket]

Do you guys play on 4k?

And if so, are you guys running 5090s for 4k?

[terse field]

No

[nocturne vine]

Yes

[stray finch]

Maybe

[oak flint]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_jJ_bdtDhdglqtppY53veJIfN3I4HKcI

[static fossil]

upscaling

[ember flare]

9070XT 1440p with Quality Upscaling is enough to be locked @ 120fps on my system

IIRC I had RT on Medium or something as per DigitalFoundry's recommendation

[abstract sedge]

Ooh interesting! So you recommend renoDX default with this game instead of "match SDR"? i heard that normally with most games "match SDR" is the best to use.

[ember flare]

This game has shit match SDR though

[fierce wedge]

I don’t think the game was graded in sdr

[ember flare]

black crush everywhere

[fierce wedge]

Match sdr is useless but I left it in anyway

[abstract sedge]

aah okay thanks lmao, will use the renodx default with "reset all". I will also lower the game brightness in renodx to 150, but what value for game brightness in re9 settings do you recommend? since you said this.

[fierce wedge]

I play in a dark room and like 100 but most people don’t like that

[abstract sedge]

alright sounds good, so game brightness of 150 in renodx settings and game brightness of 100 in re9 settings?

[abstract sedge]

Sorry for asking so much but i was a little confused as i thought that renodx game brightness overrides the re9 settings game brightness

[fierce wedge]

It does

You can ignore re9 in game settings

Oh

You meant in re9 settings

Anyway it’s ignored

[abstract sedge]

ooh perfect thanks! So you play with 100 game brightness but what did you mean with this?

[fierce wedge]

Minileds can’t show dark colors

So if you have a low game brightness with miniled most of the screen will just be a soupy gray mess

[abstract sedge]

Alright thank you so much Musa. I love renoDX so much and it makes gaming so much better. I will check if i can find a place to donate you

[abstract sedge]

Aaaaaaah okay perfect, now i understand. thank you so much!!

[fierce wedge]

It’s linked on the nexus

[unkempt seal]

Same. When I first started using renodx way back when on my C9 always kept 203 at default, then over time 180 > 170 > 150 > 140 > and now 125-135 is my sweet spot also lool

[unkempt seal]

how did you record with FG? shadowplay?

[oak flint]

Not using framegen here,
But can be recorded through obs display capture and locking framerate and vsync from nvidia control panel.

[unkempt seal]

oh, ok ok. hmm display capture does induce a much higher overhead does it not?

[oak flint]

No idea😅

[distant cape]

I guess I was using an old version that had a preset called “preserve shadow detail” that I really liked

[fierce wedge]

ya new defaults are closer to preserve shadow detail anyway

[formal grotto]

I also used preserve shadow detail preset. I even started to feel crushing details near black is as noticable and even more ugly than black level raise 😬

[fierce wedge]

Ya black raise is often fine

[sweet thicket]

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/1995?tab=description

He has made it!

[undone hound]

yes, took me a while lol.

[sweet thicket]

Looking forward to trying it out with PT. Did enabling Radiance Cache give a slight performance boost just like Pragmata?

[undone hound]

Yes

I believe I fixed RC from crashing(probably overlooked some location though).

lmk if you encounter crashes with RC though

[sweet thicket]

I may do another replay so I’ll have it enabled and see if any locations crashed

[static fossil]

found radiance cache to produce really weird artifacts when indoors in raccoon city

but that was with that poorly made ai coded ray tracing tweaks mod

[undone hound]

Yeah, there'll still be some odd lighting issue with RC in some location. May have to mess with the scenescale and tilesize

[carmine lantern]

Tested crashing in rpd and orphanage?

[undone hound]

Only RPD but if you can test Orphanage for me, that'll be great

[sonic musk]

Love it
What are the settings used for the RT ultra screenshots?

[undone hound]

The preset and texture,mesh,transparent buffer set to highest

[sonic musk]

And PT?
Interesting you managed to get rid of the RR blur

[undone hound]

Also shadow preset to the max (only if you have extra vram headroom)

For PT, preset PT Enhanced and texture,mesh,transparent buffer set to highest

[undone hound]

Yeah that RR blur was annoying lol

[sweet thicket]

Been replaying a bunch of scenes to test how your mod is affecting it. I see some 'dancing' spots of light in some scenes but overall everything runs well

[undone hound]

Dancing spot light is when RC is on right?

[sweet thicket]

Yeah, I believe so

Also, good change on adding presets. They're great for testing

• Save/Load + Profiles

[undone hound]

I'll see if I can find a good value for RC later

Ty, I first started the profile system for MHWilds because too many settings to keep track of

Preset came later because it's was the number one request

[sweet thicket]

Do you think you'll go back to your other mods and add them eventually?

[undone hound]

I should huh?

[sweet thicket]

It would be convenient. Without the settings screenshots you posted on your mods' pages, I would've been lost. I pretty much follow the settings you post

Not a big priority though, but it could save you questions in the future if you include presets

[undone hound]

Thank you for the feedback. I was planning on updating Pragmata and adding preset

and also fix the RC crashes for PT

[sweet thicket]

Yeah that's a solid one especially since people use PT or RT

@undone hound What's next for you since you finished requiem? You've got all the RE Engine games done

[undone hound]

Hmm, go back and fix any bugs I missed. Is there Reno for Dead Rising Remaster?

[sweet thicket]

I am unsure tbh

[fierce wedge]

No

Apparently it’s slop

Censored or whatever

[undone hound]

Ah, I messed around the demo the end of last year and I found out there's raytracing.

[formal grotto]

Okay apart from jumping from 3 to 5 bounces I don't see a lot of differences with PT.

Also when using the latest version of reno from nexusmods, setting 1500nits peak brightness does not deliver 1500nits peak ingame anymore, is that a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

[distant cape]

Image looks less blurry to me tbh

[dense sapphire]

stabilize IBL lighting is a massive improvement

[undone hound]

Yep, and I included disable ibl sampling in case people want to turn it off completely

[sweet estuary]

But doesn’t disabling or messing with ibl sampling lead to loss of detail for some material

[dense sapphire]

Yeah I was using disable ibl sampling with the U+ script, but I did notice some rare downsides to disabling it

comparing disable vs stabilize, stabilize doesn't seem to have those downsides

[undone hound]

Yeah, that's why on the PT preset, I made sure it's not toggle

[undone hound]

That's great to see. I wasn't too happy with disabling IBL Sampling because it ruined some details in the beginning. Took me a while to get the correct settings

[unkempt seal]

played the entire game with it off and found only the beginning suffered a bit, which is a tiny part of the game really. But this mod now looks juicy, this screenshot looks nuts compared to vanilla. But I honestly don't remember it being as bad as the vanilla screenshot?
Only settings I used when I played was literally bounces 5 and IBL off

[nocturne vine]

I don't remmeber it being as bad as vanilla SS either, but it's easy to just get in the way of things and stop noticing after a while.

So, could've easily just skipped the mind 😄

A/B comparisons can get wild like that.

Still haven't finished the game, though. So, might try the mod.

Wonder what's the perf cost with PT.

[polar summit]

vanilla does in fact look that bad

and it's all cuz of default IBL sampling

[unkempt seal]

Ah, so maybe that’s why I didn’t see it that bad cause I had ibl off the entire same?

[static fossil]

still cant get rid of the atrocious fence shimmering at the beginning of the game

[polar summit]

Most likely yea

Leon scenes in RC that rely solely on the flashlight for lighting look absolutely horrendous with default ibl sampling

Granted idk where that sceenshot is taken exactly but it looks to be one of those scenarios

[unkempt seal]

It’s one fence, gotta get over it bro

[static fossil]

i guess

[undone hound]

Yeah, can't do much about that and the 3 windows after leaving the basement. I can somewhat fix the windows but it'll ruin other areas so not worth it

[static fossil]

oh yeah the windows

whats with the denoising screwing up there

[undone hound]

No idea but we do really need a new model for RR lol

[distant cape]

JoHien's mod really cleans up a lot of the boiling for me

[static fossil]

what resolution is this

[distant cape]

DLSS balanced 4K

Just a screenshot tho

Probably converted from hdr. Just noticing this is a lot sharper for me than it had been

[nocturne vine]

https://youtu.be/tYd5DfcGyS4

[carmine lantern]

👀

[sweet estuary]

does it break REFramework?

[stark igloo]

i tried it and its working fine

[sweet thicket]

I had to reinstall resahde and everything is working fine

But yeah, we do need a REFramework update. Lots of errors in the logs

[stark igloo]

i did get a crash in raccoon city during a cutscene. its after open the garage door by inserting the two power fuse

[queen kernel]

i'm playing LMDF and it's without issue so far

[sonic musk]

I'm glad they waited for JoHien's mod with the update

[dense vortex]

does JoHien's mod really fix the RR blur? Like for example, does the floor plan mounted on the wall in the care center main hall look better? And I'm most curious about Raccoon City, can you see a big difference there?

I’m going to test it when I can, but I’m really curious because those were the biggest issues for me

[undone hound]

Right on time for new content lol

[undone hound]

The map near the save room? Make sure to use the default RR preset D instead of E.

[dense vortex]

yeah, it looked bad for me when I played the vanilla game when it released on both presets. I haven't tested it with the mod yet

I'm also curious about the performance impact with the mod, let's say with the defaults for PT. is it big?

[undone hound]

I'd say the performance impact from default PT isn't too big. You can scale back the ray bounce if needed. You can also try Radiance Cache to gain some performance back. The only downside is that some areas will have lighting artifacts. Give it a shot though!

[sonic musk]

The biggest issue with Radiance Cache is the light lag, though it is probably still not as bad as the vanilla RT

[undone hound]

Almost forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder lol

[undone hound]

Anyone here play with RT?

[undone hound]

Someone send this to me, lol. https://fixvx.com/StormslayerDev/status/2052499708535353623

Stormslayer -HD Remasters/Gamedev (@StormslayerDev)

Me with a 6 year old GPU, installing this graphics mod anyway. 😆

QRT: GameGPU_com
https://t.co/3VLCUdOy03

A new graphics mod RE9 Graphics Enhancement is now available for Resident Evil Requiem. It completely removes the game base limitations on ray tracing quality and expands rendering parameters.

Users gain full access to deep adjustments of lighting, shadows, and textures through the REFramework menu. Full resolution reflection algorithms and experimental features for bounced light calculation have been added.

The installation of this modification strictly requires the REFramework platform. The developer recommends using the new radiance cache parameters with caution to avoid unexpected graphics crashes.

[stark igloo]

i did start playing it with your mod.

[undone hound]

I was going to ask if anyone who played on RT mode encountered an issue where RT gets disabled after the basement section?

[stark igloo]

welp i already passed that section unfortunately

[undone hound]

Okay, not a problem. Do you by chance have a save after the basement?

[distant cape]

There are issues but E does look sharper than D

[stark igloo]

i gotta go home and check. right now im at leons section at the city

you need a copy of the save?

[undone hound]

Nah, I'm trying to verify if you encountered the disable rt issue.

[formal grotto]

Since the update its crashing in the beginning section cutscene when the Cop starts to attack. The graphics and lighting become very dark.

[stark igloo]

RT is still bugged out after the basement. i went to emilys room and the reflection on the glass is all gone. this is RT using high/

[sweet estuary]

@fierce wedge what do the new options bring

Is match hdr the best one?

[dense vortex]

is new game+ worth playing or is it better to just start a new playthrough?

[sonic musk]

It's pretty much the same
The only difference is that on NG+ you keep the charms and you start earning points as Leon from the beginning
But all the items and upgrades need to be reacquired as normal

[pallid grotto]

Did the new patch change something? Cause im pretty sure you couldn't start new game before, it always forced you into "second playthrough"

[undone hound]

Okay, thanks for checking for me. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, whether it's intentional or a bug. I have an old save from after the basement section dated March 19th and all the RT functions are working correctly. Looking online, it seems this was first reported on February 28th, which means the patch hadn't happened yet. One method that seems to work is by enabling path tracing in the in-game settings (not every GPU has this option) and then overriding the rendering to the RT pipeline.

[sonic musk]

Afaik it's intentional, it was disabled on PS5 pro as well because denoising shit itself so badly in that part that they decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater

[static fossil]

is that a figure of speech

[sonic musk]

[undone hound]

Man, that's crazy. They decided to include the PC too huh?

[sonic musk]

Probably just made a change globally and pushed that to all SKUs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HFly4CUHoU

Though this refers to a different section of the game

[undone hound]

I find it odd that my first playthrough start on March 12th. Of course I was playing with PT and created multiple save point so I can go back to test out the mods.

[undone hound]

Thanks for showing me this video though. Somehow I was out of the loop lol

[eternal wasp]

Tone Map Type: Choices include Vanilla and RenoDX.

But ingame I can only see Vanilla and ACES.

Is this normal?

[fierce wedge]

ya forgot to update the nexus description

[fierce wedge]

defaults are best

previous mod was adjusting the tonemapping by adjusting exposure/brightness and stretching the original tonemapper which was fixed to 1k peak

I found the exact tonemapping code they used on github

so I was able to implement it properly in the updated mod

[sweet estuary]

Oic

[dense vortex]

oh then I think I will just play new game plus thanks

[sturdy tide]

Yeah I don't remember there being a way too start a new game at all, unless they patched it in? You always have all charms unlocked from the start and all Leon items in the shop right away, without being able to find them in game again.
And on the other side you can't keep upgrades and selling weapons isn't refunding them.
Capcom really fumbled both NG/NG+.

[undone hound]

Wish they kept storage inventory like RE4R so I can upgrade all the weapons

[sturdy tide]

Yep, I dunno why they changed it, I love both unlocking everything and running game from scratch with guns to pick up, now we have neither.

[pallid grotto]

They really fucked up in the replayability of this game altogether
Standard (modern) is way too easy, and Insanity is just a chore and unfun, only really playable with inf ammo

Guns seem to do jack-shit against staggering enemies, so it's just perfect parry similiar, unlike in RE4R where you could get like 48% chance on handgun shots so you could actually have fun shooting enemies

Etc etc

[sturdy tide]

True, by the end of my first playthrough on Standard (Classic) i had saved up enough ammo for RE10, and the final boss died in few clips.

[pallid grotto]

And the aiming system with leon is pretty bad too imo and this new mode highlights that even more, I feel like 3rd person ADS zooms in waaay too much compared to RE4R, and a tight crosshair instead of a laser is a huge blunder

[pallid grotto]

Yeah same

[winged apex]

you have mods to change zoom fov

[pallid grotto]

Though I think I died to the final boss like 2-3 first playthru, so at least that was a bit challenging at least for me, so thats good

[pallid grotto]

Ah thats good to know ty, tho shouldve been like that in the game

They had the perfect leon gameplay system with RE4R and just took no inspiration from it :/

[sturdy tide]

I still absolutely love the game and can't wait for next RE, but it's cheesy and disappointing compared to 2, 4 and 8 in many ways.

[pallid grotto]

Yeah agreed, lots of people overhyped 9 understandably so, but im not even sure if i would put it in my top 5

[static fossil]

the base gameplay is kinda lacking but with mods that change it its really fun

[pallid grotto]

Yeah though this clip kinda highlights what I dont really like haha

Animations are really cool thats for sure, but perfect parrying + executing zombies is a bit too easy and you spend more time in animation than gameplay

if you keep doing it for every zombie, which you kinda have to do in insanity (no inf. ammo), then leons section really becomes half animation locked, half running around, sometimes shooting

[static fossil]

yeah i can understand why people wouldn't like that sort of gameplay

i just like seeing leon do badass shit while being somewhat in control of him

[dense vortex]

can't you just always delete your save file? This isn't an online-only game. But if that's true, it's weird that you can't just start a new game

[sturdy tide]

Well you can, if you dont mind getting rid of everything, including all challenges... Thats not good at all.

[winged apex]

bro what, re4 is x10 cheesier than re9

8 also filled with cheese

[sturdy tide]

Well, all REs are 🙂 But this time I feel like they made a bit too big of a bet on nostalgia, and the story is a bit more nonsensical.

My headcannon to explaining the biggest what in the story though is that ||Victor absolutely has no idea about anything and rolls with whatever, and Grace just lucks out on the tape for password, i still love Victor though 😂 ||

[static fossil]

what was the point of ||them escaping the elpis room just to try and get all the way back up again||

||and zeno waiting for like 2 hours expecting them to get back||

[sturdy tide]

||Leon was just saving Grace first and foremost, like a gigachad he is. Zeno - no idea, was probably waiting for Leon to despawn and Grace to come back.||

[sonic musk]

Ye the game is pretty dumb even by the RE standards

You can tell the story was being cobbled together last minute

[sweet thicket]

I’m releasing an FOV mod that I’ve been working on soon. I figured how to add Camera Offset changes without moving markers. Definitely worth trying one of the current FOV mods on nexus rn and adjusting TPS Aim

[pallid grotto]

Nicee, def gonna check it out then when I replay the game in the future

[queen kernel]

before the game even came out, i was very skeptical of mixing 2 completely different gameplay types together

i loved my first playthrough, even the second...but then it's just not too fun to replay

and get this much stealth the hell out of RE

they could have made the next amazing game buidling upon either RE4's or RE2's style of gameplay

instead they mixed everything together and ended up with just a "good" game

rant over lol

[fierce wedge]

grace parts are the best

but also less replayable

[pallid grotto]

Yep 100% agree

[pallid grotto]

I dont think it was a bad idea to mix it together personally, i think the pacing was good for the most part (apart from the intro and the || laughing cloned children part || on replays, why cant we still skip those ugh)

But some parts with leon were really bad, running through an empty care center because it was easy to clear everything with grace even on hardest difficulty

RPD section was fun too but the lack of enemy variety between the 3 zones was also meh, and at the || lab not having more fights against the elite guards other than 2 small sections is the biggest fumble they did ||

[queen kernel]

the level design is great but it's not fun to control her

neither in first nor third person

it's worse than re7-8 & re2-3

[queen kernel]

it's a bad idea in the sense that they can't execute it very well as it's not as focused

and yeah, for the intro and chloe section i just use a trainer now

[pallid grotto]

Yeah fair, but tbf its the same director as RE7, so if it was all horror im afraid we would've gotten the same deal again like the boat section in 7

[queen kernel]

i heard that guy likes to implement replayability killers in the games he directs...it kinds shows lol

the intro section in RE7 is awful on replays

i love the game but have to always keep a save file after you arrive in the Baker house

[pallid grotto]

Yeah, even tho I liked Rev1, the FBC parker flashback scenes are like that for sure, though they werent that fun the first time either

[static fossil]

i liked it only because of the pretty graphics

[pallid grotto]

I liked it too, thats why I said I only dont like it for replays

[queen kernel]

pretty graphics alone don't do it for me anymore...hence why i have zero desire to replay Alan Wake II

[winged apex]

did they add full dualsense haptics or just adaptive triggers?

changelog said "vibration functions"

ingame doesnt say haptics anywhere either

[formal grotto]

you can feel rain in the street in the beginning. full support

[fierce wedge]

noice

[winged apex]

ok cool

i dont know if the game had good haptics on ps5

up to devs how well its used

[heady arch]

Is there a RenoDX mod for Stellar Blade ?

[coarse kettle]

It appears ✅ with Unreal Engine mod.

https://clshortfuse.github.io/renodx/renodx-unrealengine.addon64

[ember flare]

Yup and kinda necessary imo

[distant cape]

New Nvidia Drivers that launched today completely fixed my stuters in RE9 Requiem with Frame Gen and Reflex on. No longer need to cap FPS to avoid hitches.

In notes:

Fixed Gaming Bugs
Enhanced smoothness when DLSS Frame Generation is used with V-SYNC. [5999586]

[limpid ivy]

I understand that these are stutters that don't have a clear cause. When I start the game, everything is fine at first, but then the FPS drops sharply and returns to normal after about 10 seconds. Have you experienced this?

[static fossil]

idk raccoon city completely shits itself when i run it with path tracing

5 second stutters every minute

[carmine lantern]

How much vram do u have

[winged apex]

dedotated wam

[static fossil]

12

[sonic musk]

Turn down the mesh quality or however it's called

[static fossil]

It is turned

it's really weird even putting dlss on ultra performance doesn't help

[sonic musk]

You mean you already set it to low?

[static fossil]

yes

[sonic musk]

Did you tried reducing the texture setting too?

You're using frame gen?

[static fossil]

huh

ill go test that one later

no fg btw

[sonic musk]

I know that people reporting stutters in RC were hitting the VRAM bottleneck, though usually turning down mech quality did the trick

As a last resort, you could reduce the output resolution (upscaling doesn't help much with VRAM)

[undone hound]

@static fossil What resolution you're playing at?

[static fossil]

1440p

[undone hound]

Are you playing with any mods? btw, you can reduce your shadow quality to high to free up some vram

If you're using my mods, set texture quality to high and shadow quality to high would be enough to keep vram under 12gb

[static fossil]

thanks

do you recommend switching rr to preset d or e with your stabilize ibl lighting option

[undone hound]

I recommend preset D for this game

[static fossil]

thank you

hey sorry to keep asking questions but does shadow quality affect anything in path tracing

i cant notice any differences between lowest and high

also some zombies dont seem to cast shadows
this happens to me regardless if i have your mod im just wondering if you know why

[undone hound]

For PT, shadow quality only show up on transparent reflection. Yeah, that's weird with the shadow. I never killed zombie on that stairs so I gotta check it out later

I had a comment saying his photo mode shadows is missing even with the mod disabled. Found out that save is borked because his other save works fine.

[static fossil]

i dont think its scene dependent actually

its like 30% shadowless zombies and the rest are normal in every section

[undone hound]

was it always like that for you?

[static fossil]

yeah

might be a problem with the game version idk, its two patches back

[undone hound]

If you're 2 patches back, do you have a save after the basement? Enable RT and see if reflection is still there

[static fossil]

you mean right after the elevator scene?

[undone hound]

Yeah

[sonic musk]

Dead bodies are culled from BVH for the performance reasons mayhaps

[static fossil]

guess he's a dead body technically

[static fossil]

yeah i do get reflections

rt and pt

[undone hound]

Okay, thanks. Wish capcom can patch this back in for PC instead of me trying figure how to get this to work for AMD users

[hexed quest]

so latest RR Preset D + latest DLSS Preset M?

[sonic musk]

Super resolution model doesn't matter when ray reconstruction is enabled, if that's what you're asking

[oak flint]

Does contact shadows work with pt, or need to be disabled

[dense sapphire]

PT overrides contact shadows

[visual plover]

hey on an LG G5 i have once again the problem with RenoDX that default settings "overexpose" volumetric fog resulting in a washed out image since this game has volumetric fog pretty much everywhere. In the rare instances w/o fog the game looks perfect but as soon as there is fog it"s like sb pissed all over the screen (pardon my french)

if i change to "match SDR" the fog looks better but it crushes blacks like crazy in darker areas.

i have been having this issue with a lot of games lately when using RenoDX on the LG G5. On my old LG C9 everything is just fine

any ideas would be much appreciated

[static fossil]

turn off eotf emulation

[visual plover]

thanks for the reply . Since i played around with every setting i am pretty sure that didn't solve it entirely either but i will have to check later.

so this is a known issue?

also, if i turn on liliums black floor fix on default settings the picture improves a lot but again suffers from black crush

(lilium on top of RenoDX i mean)

[static fossil]

idk
im not as knowledgable as these other folks but i know that 2.2 eotf emulation option causes that crushed blacks look

[visual plover]

ah so you mean eotf emulation off when i am running 'match SDR' not for default settings

[static fossil]

yea

i think default has that off anyways

[wild ridge]

This game was probably made with HDR first in mind and not SDR

Capcom said a few years ago that they would switch

[fierce wedge]

Ya mod doesn’t use 2.2 emulation by default

[visual plover]

was that in response to my issue? For me the problem is not just limited to RE9 but most games i have been playing on the LG G5.... It's driving me crazy bc renodx used to be perfect ootb on my C9

[oak flint]

[thorny grotto]

What graphics enhancement are u using?

[oak flint]

PT enhanced preset

[thorny grotto]

LUA script from Lazor?

[oak flint]

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/1995

[thorny grotto]

gonna check it out, thanks. I think I have manually adjusted most these settings already with Lazor script

[oak flint]

Stabilize IBL lighting

[thorny grotto]

Did u notice a big improvement over Vanilla?

[oak flint]

Big improvement is on non PT scenes.

[thorny grotto]

I mean running this script preset over Vanilla PT preset

[oak flint]

Yeah it's a improvement.

[thorny grotto]

I have change LOD Bias, increased Rays Bounce already, removed hero light, film grain and applied RCAs already

[oak flint]

PT enhanced preset set ray bounce to 5, and disabled film grain - in default pt preset. rest don't know

[sonic musk]

Strand shadows tank the performance in some scenes, so disable that

Ray bounces over default 3 don't really add much, disable that too and you're pretty much at vanilla performance with much better image

I'm talking about PT enhanced preset

[thorny grotto]

All the tests I’ve done actually over 5 u don’t see benefits but with 5 it helps also with boiling and also it makes the image more coherent imo

[unkempt seal]

What does stabilize IBL do exactly? I played the entire game with IBL off and it looked great throughout

[static fossil]

turn it off and on with your flashlight on in dark areas

youll see the difference

[undone hound]

@unkempt seal Here's a short clip.

[sonic musk]

Damn
So that was responsible for turning everything into a mush

[undone hound]

Yeah, lol

[unkempt seal]

thanks for the demo. I don't remember seeing it like that (could be fuzzy memory tbh) but I did play it all with IBL off

[undone hound]

True, IBL sampling off will remove blurriness too

[static fossil]

hey whenever you have radiance cache on you can see a lot of light bleeding through the culling or whatever whenever you're indoors in raccoon city

im just wondering if that's fixable

[oak flint]

It was mentioned in the enhancement mod page

[static fossil]

not directly

[undone hound]

I don't think it's fixable but if you can tell me the exact location, I'll check it out. On my playthrough, I had RC disable

[static fossil]

its just anywhere inside buildings in raccoon city

[oak flint]

https://www.gematsu.com/2026/05/resident-evil-requiem-demo-now-available

[worldly sedge]

Hi,
honestly, I don't know what you thought of this game, but I find it so much less than average compared to RE8 Village, to name just one example.

[static fossil]

who are you talking to

[winged apex]

https://tenor.com/view/guy-arguing-guy-talking-to-wall-talking-brick-wall-gif-18667615

[pallid grotto]

I think grace's part was 10/10, but leon's part was a huge disappointment up until the ||lab, and even in there the only exciting thing was fighting the soldiers||, and the final bossfight was fun too. I dont like how they made perfect parries too powerful, and shooting enemies doesnt make them stunned so you can kick them like in re4r

[static fossil]

it does

you just need to shoot them in the head or leg a bunch of times

[pallid grotto]

idk I might be misremembering then, I played max difficulty and wasnt really able to stun them, most of the time they just died before the stun. tho I aimed at head, never really aimed at legs

[static fossil]

have you never watched other gameplay then

it's quite a core part of gameplay almost

although i agree i remember the stagger being really hard to pull off
but then i modded it to increase the value

[pallid grotto]

yeah, I loved the charms in re4 where you could get like 48% chance to stagger with pistol, that was fun, and not really op

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdYftKSCA54

I only found this video just now, not sure what difficulty would this be, but the amount of shots needed to stun an enemy is insane

id prefer it if it took less shots, but would also do less damage or something

I mean sure having something different for combat than re4r is not necessarily bad, but I still dont like it at all personally lol

[static fossil]

yeah the balancing in this game is pretty subpar

like the alligator snapper being completely pointless once you unlock the silencer 9

[pallid grotto]

oh yeah absolutely that too

RE8 had a problem where every new unlocked gun was better than before, so it had zero weapon variety, then comes RE4R which is very balanced, almost all guns in every category is usable and there's not really one thats the best of the best

but then that gets nuked in RE9 for no reason at all, especially when weapon models reloads etc. are cool about every gun, but who cares because theres only one thats worth using

[ember flare]

I 100% the game and the enemies stagger waaaaay easier when you shoot the legs

Basically impossible to stun them with headshots on Insanity

[static fossil]

there's a bunch of videos like this where they just make leon insanely overpowered
https://youtube.com/shorts/xXL_Ub1VfwU

but its fun to see i guess

[pallid grotto]

good to know thx, I just hate aiming at legs so I guess i aint staggering anyone

[pallid grotto]

yeah its very cool visually, especially the first time you see it ingame, but I honestly just much prefer and love the crunching sound when kicking enemies in re4r dunno why

I think its the uncertainty of it, you get a kick but you dont know if you'll actually kill the enemy or not, so you gotta wait for the sound cue, but for RE9, you know you're killing the enemy as soon as you see that button prompt, so you just watch a 5sec cutscene afterwards

and as cool as these finishers are, having a group of enemies, but then being interrupted multiple times for like 4-5 seconds gets kinda annoying, whereas in RE4R the kick is very fluid, takes like 1s or less, so theres no wait time

[static fossil]

kick doesnt kill enemies

i guess you still technically know when a kick kills because if you kick a low health zombie it sends them flying

[pallid grotto]

yeah true, its just that crunch sound that I miss ig haha

[static fossil]

i was agreeing with you

[pallid grotto]

I just found this vid, only watched like 1m of it, but perfectly shows some of my other issues too with it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVtDIpbe-aE

[pallid grotto]

ahh ok

a comment highlights that in RE4R, on professional, the melee kick crit sound doesnt always kill the enemy, which I dont remember happening, but if its really true, then thats a bit annoying too

[static fossil]

yeah even though ive barely played re4r i can tell re9 has a bit of issues
like the hatchet attacks being borderline useless because zombies can still lunge at you during them
some animations having a small delay before having you cancel into a parry position
and just overall gameplay being inconsistent as shit

one thing ive heard about re4r is having good consistent mechanics

re9 doesn't have that at all
even down to the enemy timings

[pallid grotto]

yeah agreed, though all of these are just part of the issues, could also get into ADS animations and all that too lol

I did a replay of RE4R somewhat close to RE9, so I guess thats why these issues annoyed me a bit more

the lasers over sights are bit of a preference, but I swear theres some fuckery going on when ads-ing in RE9 compared to RE4R, its a lot less fluid, and slows you down much more

[worldly sedge]

I'm talking to those who have played this game. I'm using a translator who doesn't speak English, so the translation isn't always 100% accurate, as I'm trying to explain. But I'm disappointed with the game, especially compared to RE8 Village or the RE4 remake, which are excellent...

[unkempt seal]

RE8 was absolute mid tier slop IMO. I loved 9 though

[thorny grotto]

I think exactly the same

but Beneviento section was good

[worldly sedge]

Okay, everyone has their own opinion, as they say, tastes differ. Personally, I didn't feel that sense of pressure, the amount of fighting, the action like in RE8. Mind you, I'm not saying RE8 is my favorite, but it's much better than RE9. Finally, I'd add that my favorite was the RE4 remake... So there you have it, everyone has their own tastes, thankfully there's something for everyone...

👋

[pallid grotto]

I'm not sure if I would say I liked it much better than RE9, but I really liked RE8 too, I liked a lot of things about it, its ending was very sad too. And the pacing of it was also very good, especially after RE7 with the boring ass boat section

[acoustic whale]

Hello people, I would like to install RenoDX for Stellar Blade, what else do I have to do other than installing the mods via RHI?

woops wrong channel

[worldly sedge]

Yes, you're not wrong, as I said earlier, there really needs to be something for everyone...

[sweet estuary]

Re8 was not good

[fierce wedge]

re8 was fine

the good parts were early

[sonic musk]

RE8 is a pale xerocopy of the OG RE4

[oak flint]

Re9 seems somewhat copy of re2, storywise

[sonic musk]

Grace section is aping RE1 more than anything
Because all the assets were made to be reused in the RE1/RE0 remakes
Just like RE8 was almost entirely recycled for RE4R

[terse field]

I’ll that that kind of “recycling” any day of the week tbh

[pallid grotto]

Exactly, but also a lot of assets in the game are for CV too, RE9 probably has the most assets thats gonna be reused for that remake, especially since it's coming early next year possibly, RE0+1 is still 2-3 years away

[stark igloo]

DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction in august https://youtu.be/NvSYk0PjLrU?si=T-XtZbuqENlctQ9s

seems i can finally play this game in august then

[static fossil]

No more boiling!

[thorny grotto]

I wanna cry! If they got rid of boiling I will play all the PT games over again!!!

[sonic musk]

Yall remember those are cherry picked excamples
