007 First Light

[tranquil zenith]

it really is just every single thing that you gotta climb on, it all has a line of paint on it

[tepid mortar]

Atleast is not like ps horizon series

[tired rock]

there is so much yellow paint it is insane

[tranquil zenith]

I just feel like I never ever have to even look around to find a way to go

there's either arrows, a tarp or paint and it's such an insane amount I can't unnotice it

[mighty wind]

Putting me off big time reading this!

[valid wadi]

bro just playing it rn and having time of my life xd

[kindred mantle]

Not having any of these issues. No flickering at any quality level with L, M definitely works and is probably the best choice, K has the same cost that it always does. What do you mean M doesn't work at all?

[tranquil zenith]

the game is great, it's just like, I could do without all the paint and stuff

I've not had any issues or whatever besides that which is just a choice they made

[brisk needle]

im at chapter 4 and I only noticed yellow indicators in the first chapter, after that theres barely any I think, only the white indicators

but like, those are kinda needed so you know where you can vault over or climb

[tranquil zenith]

ye lot of this stuff ofc

but there's also just actual arrows painted sometimes

[timid wharf]

Hmm. It would be nice to have an option to turn it off, but it's no big deal. Hopefully they'll add it in a future update

[tranquil zenith]

colours will look awful in that pic ofc since it's just a screencap while HDR is on lol

it's not a rly big deal but it's enough to the point where I think it's overdone, still having a blast tho

[brisk needle]

what annoys me more is some glitches, which happen a bit too often for me, like this one (mission 4 spoiler)

[robust venture]

huh, haven't had that. I did have a boss that got stuck in a shooting cycle

[tranquil zenith]

gotta say I have yet to actually see anything glitching out

what surprises me even more is that I haven't ran into anything gamebreaking. my friends don't call me QA Neal for nothing

I tend to always find the weirdest glitches and so far, there has been nothing lol. also on mission 4

enough time left to find something I guess

[pliant sage]

Aside from the graphical issues from fg and hdr, I haven't seen any bugs at all. Haven't had any crashes either and I'm on the last mission. Game has been smooth sailing in that regard. At least for me.

[daring timber]

Guys can someone please tell me which DLSS preset should I use? Preset K,L or M

[tranquil zenith]

mostly a preference thing I'd say

I use M, lot of people like L

[daring timber]

I use DLSS quality as I have 5090

So I am not sure which preset to use for DLSS quality

What do you use for DLSS quality or performance?

[tranquil zenith]

I use quality, on 1440p with a 4080

[inner seal]

pretty much just default to M in every game unless there is flickering in base game that it cant resolve, then try L

L is more expensive and ghosts and smears more, and tends to cause more aliasing artifacts than M, but has stronger temporal denoising

[proven ingot]

I left it on K in 4K balanced RTX5080 and see no issue. slight banding with 2xfg, but doesn't bother me

[inner seal]

if you can, never use K due to it killing highlights and specular details and changing HDR, also has a lot more particle ghosting

[daring timber]

@inner seal so you use M right?

On quality

[inner seal]

pretty much always use M anywhere from perf to quality

[daring timber]

L is intended for ultra performance?

[inner seal]

quality is easy enough in this game

L is definitely better if you need to use ultra performance, but they just say that cause its more expensive

[kindred mantle]

getting crazy stutter in Chapter 6: Uninvited, there are a ton of NPCs on screen though

[daring timber]

Makes sense

[kindred mantle]

it's pretty bad

[inner seal]

someone mentioned CPU being killed by lots of NPCs

[pliant sage]

Yea people have said it's cpu bound during the npc heavy scenes. I didn't have an issue but I also run a 9800x3d. No idea how it is on lower end cpus.

[inland birch]

Only gameplay complaints I have right now is I feel like it’s impossible to not bump into people every 2 seconds

[glacial sand]

When faced with the choice of running DLAA with 2x frame gen versus DLSS Quality no frame gen, which is generally considered the better option for most games? I’m running both on ultra settings at 4K on a 5070ti.

[inland birch]

Like bond is saying sorry to people 100 times a mission

[pliant sage]

I never run dlaa anymore unless the dlss implementation is horrible

It's a waste imo

[inland birch]

What frame rates are both getting and what refresh rate and resolution monitor

[pliant sage]

Quality looks nearly identical to native these days

[inner seal]

generally speaking no benefit to running DLAA with 4.5 anymore in most games (cough CD cough), if you really want a bit extra then use 75%

[glacial sand]

Both around 80-100fps. I have the Asus PG32ucdm which is a 240hz 4K QD OLED

[inland birch]

Quality then 100%

Or even lower if you want high framerate

[inner seal]

this games major artifacts didnt seem to improve at all between quality and dlaa

[inland birch]

In some games I can definitely see a difference in picture between quality and DLAA in 4.5

[wicked wasp]

changing the tonemapping
luminance / per channel

[inland birch]

But then I play for 5 minutes and the difference becomes unnoticeable

If you’re not actually looking for it or A B comparing

[inner seal]

not like DLAA is affordable in any high fidelity game anyways unless you are low base res

[glacial sand]

Cool, so generally go with quality without the frame gen. Any particular preset recommendation? I leave it on default (which I think is K on quality) as I find L is too expensive

[inland birch]

I think it mostly comes down to some devs using internal res or output res for effects that use % resolution

[inland birch]

I mean fair

[inner seal]

at least at my res, I find M on performance to be as good as or better than K at quality

[inland birch]

It’s very select games

[pliant sage]

If you value specular highlights you really should not use K

[inner seal]

but also like I mentioned K kills specular highlights and highlights in general

[inland birch]

The devs that ported Ragnarok to pc for example use like 1/2 res or something like that for reflections on water but it scales with internal, not output

So dlss just murders reflections

[inland birch]

Oh yeah I’m a preset M truther

[inner seal]

M is definitely king

L for edge cases that you can't fix with the game

[inland birch]

To be fair I really haven’t messed around with L at all

[glacial sand]

You gents use M on quality?

[inland birch]

Yeah

[inner seal]

I do right now, but its totally fine to go lower

especially at 4k

[inland birch]

In doing quality 3x fg in this game

I sit locked at my 224 cap at 4k

[glacial sand]

Noice which gpu

[inland birch]

5090

9800x3d

[verbal crater]

thats a nice starter pc

[inland birch]

I’m only on mission 4 though so I can’t say I’ve tested everything

[glacial sand]

Hahahhaha yeah entry level

[inland birch]

Yeah it’s enough to get your foot in the door for sure

[inner seal]

I don't think a lot of folks realize that 4.5 can be a huge performance boost given perf M is pretty much as good or better than K quality

(at 4k)

[inland birch]

I always try to hit fps cap stability so it just depends on the game

Whatever combination of preset and frame gen count work best to hold 224

[inner seal]

oh for sure, but I don't feel bad for using performance anymore when needed depending on graphics settings/game

[inland birch]

Same

[inner seal]

is a savior at 5k x 2k

[inland birch]

As long as it’s not a gow situation

[tepid mortar]

To be honest with you guys. If I use M on performance / quality it seems almost the same in 4K

[inner seal]

yeah 4.5 is quite good

[tepid mortar]

I couldn’t say which was which in a blind test

So I just use M performance

Never tested in 1080p though

When it launched I nitpicked some photos and I even think that M performance is better than K quality at 4k

[inner seal]

in 1080p its not nearly as good

[tepid mortar]

M performance at 4k is 1080p native so…

[daring timber]

@inner seal will there be issues with ray tracing and how the image looks using preset L or M? Is K better at ray tracing?

[kindred mantle]

I think 4.5 looks ugly at lower output resolutions, even 1440p. I need to use downscaling to make it look good

[inner seal]

that is simply an over generalization from one video

basically can conflict a bit with lumen temporal reflection denoising

not that temporal reflection denoiser looks great with K either

4.5 is incredible at shadow denoising though

[daring timber]

Ok thanks

[inner seal]

its pretty game dependent, how heavily the game flickers pre TAA is a big factor

[daring timber]

What about 007 specially

[kindred mantle]

4.5 is good in 007, much better than K

[hybrid bay]

Yes, it’s worse

[worldly haven]

4K nits

rip my fuckin eyes

[glossy tartan]

lol that level was low key seizure inducing

dope music though

[wicked wasp]

BETA BUILD 8

• set in game hdr on
• not all shaders done yet, but the unfinished ones might be unused anyway
• as usual disable generic depth and effect runtime sync in the reshade addons tab and then restart

Changes:

• improved/simplified tonemap

NEEDS TESTING:

• test if flashbangs appear ok or become overly bright

[glossy tartan]

anyone know how to keep hdr on when restarting the game? It keeps disabling itself

[proven ingot]

wait for patch

[glossy tartan]

Gotcha, thanks. Seemed like it was a bug

Also, any other suggestions for reshade settings other than peak brightness that yall recommend?

if any.. looks great on my LG C2 on PC

[wicked wasp]

luminance / channel

[tranquil zenith]

honestly all I did was change peak and game/ui brightness

[inland birch]

in the current build, the luminece or per channel scaling is the "purist/enhanced," right?

everything else is purist equivalent by default

[wicked wasp]

enhanced was removed entirely

its purist by default but with some changes if you have it set to luminance

actual purist is per channel

[inland birch]

i was gonna say, it defaults to luminance lol

[wicked wasp]

yes

[wicked wasp]

can anyone confirm that flashbangs aren't fucked up by the mod

[tranquil zenith]

I've not been met by a flashbang yet since I've started playing so if I end up seeing one I'll let u know

[kindred mantle]

first time I encountered a flashbang was with beta build 7 and it looked fine, wasn't extremely bright or anything.

[vestal dragon]

i havent been flashbang yet

[wicked wasp]

gonna actually play the game for real now

do we have optimized settings

[inland birch]

having this issue where if i die and click retry, it just infinite loads

probably unrelated to reno though

[sullen rampart]

Ultra, DLAA, FG lower latency that no FG

[tough granite]

Well I’m glad they know. Should be fixed in the first major patch I hope.

[strong gull]

No it was just disabled now when I started the game after the patch.

[wicked wasp]

maybe it was on purpose

cause they weren't sure about the film grain issue

actually nah it's not like that on console

[weary tusk]

I am using the latest beta 8 and I don't have the renoxd (Enhanced option, just vanilla and renoxd?

[queen quail]

I hear it's good

[strong gull]

Are you sure it's infinite? I just thought this happened, but it only took a long time.

[inland birch]

I had to try one of the fights a couple of times

it loaded in like 5 seconds the first two times

then i waited like 5 minutes

so i guess it could have worked eventually but still

for sure a bug

[kindred mantle]

Enhanced was removed in 8

[weary tusk]

Ah okay

[uneven mantle]

strange flashing here

[tired rock]

bug with the game or their native HDR, had this issue before i even got reno

[tranquil zenith]

have funn

[wicked wasp]

the opening was incredibly boring

by opening i mean first couple chapters

haven't gone on an actual mission ytet

but it's basically been uncharted slop so far

[inland birch]

the story reallllllly picks up

like it gets very interesting

that is if the spy genre is cool to you

[wicked wasp]

at the part where he fucks rn

finally

[tranquil zenith]

lmao

[tough granite]

Hahaha

I’m almost done chapter 9!

Almost at the final chapter. It’s been addicting due to the story and such good pacing of gameplay types

Amazing game

[strong gull]

Haha same place, same time

[dry tusk]

does modifying the exe prevent reno mod from loading? I had to make some changes to get full screen cutscenes and then the mod stopped loading

[harsh rivet]

Latest build works with latest patch right?

[clever tapir]

Is there a working intro skip mod?

[uneven stone]

works for me
https://www.nexusmods.com/007firstlight/mods/12

[junior inlet]

gotta be a bug with some of these textures right? Some of them are nasty

[inland birch]

breaks 100% of time on every retry now

[blissful ledge]

i have slow loading when doing retries but its like 45s-2min

but i havent tried beta 8 yet i was on like beta 2-3

[inland birch]

it freezes up

line the little icon they have that spins

ive waited 5+ minutes some time

hmmm

[blissful ledge]

yeah i just wonder if thats due to renodx or something else

yeah id say that could be related but idk

[inland birch]

wonder how that happened

update maybe

[daring timber]

I am really enjoying the pacing of the story

[inland birch]

what mission are you on?

the number

[daring timber]

Beginning the mission In the bar

[inland birch]

Did yours also lock up? Like the loading icon

[blissful ledge]

no not yet, but i havent had to retry with renodx beta 8 yet

but i had no issues with like 15 retries on beta 2-3

[blissful ledge]

no freeze so far, 1 retry

[halcyon star]

Still in Beta 1?

Do the Beta builds update themselves?

[blissful ledge]

no

u need to download the newest beta from hte pins

[tough granite]

LETS GOOOOOOO

spoilers the game has credits

[halcyon star]

Gotcha, thanks

[cyan token]

😡😡😡

[empty bear]

Sigh. Game has credits, gonna stop playing until they're removed.

[prime moon]

SDR Credits? refund

[shadow surge]

What are y'all playing with your bloom at?

is 100 the default value for vanilla?

[clever tapir]

25

[inland birch]

got a lockup on a cutscene

its bedtime anyway though

[wicked wasp]

yes

100

[opal pebble]

just do it. i guess everything is subjective so i dont wanna overpromise but for me this is the bond game ive always dreamed of and more - as an obsessive fan of the franchise, this is more than making up for the lack of a new movie

thats probs the best way i can put it. easiest recommend ever to anyone who likes the bond movies/universe already

[wicked wasp]

cursed graphics

[smoky lava]

yea, whatever that is (AO?, Contact shadows?) scales with render res

it's not too bad at native

but looks awful with dlss

[wicked wasp]

ya native looks fine

[weary field]

Games not launching with renodx, did it get patched?

[pine sierra]

I just installed and launched it with reno just fine

[weary field]

I installed reshade then dragged the addon file to retail folder, did I do something wrong?

[smoky lava]

did you install reshade with addon support?

not that it would crash the game without it but still

[weary field]

Yep!

[smoky lava]

it's fine for me as well

[weary field]

Fixed!

[thorn wigeon]

But do they know about FG screen distortion?

[worn timber]

so is renodx usable in the game

[robust venture]

Yes

[frosty mortar]

if i’m using dlss model M on quality is there anything extra i have to do about sharpening?

[slim cobalt]

was anyone able to fix white dots in a specular that happens on occasion on wet or glossy surfaces?

[frozen nebula]

Does this also remove some elements like glass, lights, etc that the other one does?

Other one was working fine, until in some areas I see it removing too much stuff.

Found a fix for it?

[worn timber]

can anyone make a compration of the difference between original hdr and renodx

[frozen nebula]

Look up screenshots in this channel from Musa, he has shared a few. Use the search filter to make it easy.

@wicked wasp removed purist option?

[frozen nebula]

Nvm, gotcha.

[green canopy]

can someone tell me how can i figure the nits of my monitor ? in the website it says 1300 and windows hdr calibration puts it at 600

i have the lg 480 hz monitor LG 27GX790A-B

[zinc fossil]

I think that is the correct setup

the lg monitors are a bit weird, setting windows hdr to 600 will output 1300nits effective brightness

I think it's the same with their new ultrawide

[green canopy]

coz the game looks so orange in the deset mission and i dont know why

[green canopy]

im new to all this oled hdr stuff and its just a great tech that needs alot of research to enjoy it xd

[zinc fossil]

this is what RTINGS recommends: (they say it takes colors from roughly 6 to a 9.4 out of 10)

Picture Mode: gamer 1

Contrast: 70
RGB: 50-55-56
Gamma: Mode 2
Brightness: 69 (100 if you use SDR or HDR and put peak brightness on high too)

stole this from a redditor

[green canopy]

the issue is when u turn on hdr the settings on the monitor are locked @zinc fossil i cant change anything

[zinc fossil]

ah then those settings are probably for SDR

yea I think you're gonna have to do some research on settings to be sure

LG monitors are a bit weird with the settings I think

[green canopy]

i tweaked a bit the renodx menu and omg the game looks insane now in hdr lol

[remote idol]

i just got the MSI MPG 341C X36 yesterday which is 5th Gen QD-OLED and 1300nits
everything just looks night and day better compared to my previous non OLED display
been kinda holding off on 007 until it came heh
just got to the nightclub bit near the start and it looks stunning

[green canopy]

ive had my oled for a while and for 007 just stay somewher that has a static lamp or something and shadows , keep tweaking the settings untill u figure the best for ur game i will screen shot mine

[wooden tinsel]

no, this one is from Gametism, he's far more experienced than the other mod's auther

[zinc fossil]

btw you can take hdr screenshots through reshade

it will create HDR PNGs you can view in chromium base browsers or discord

[green canopy]

how ?

[zinc fossil]

check the reshade settings to configure the hotkey

I think by default the print screen key will create a screenshot in the game's root folder (where reshade is located)

[timber tendon]

Thanks man, I noticed that the Purist mode is gone, does this mean you figured out the missing blue or we have to choose Luminance in order to see it? Sorry if I said any of that wrong

[green canopy]

beautiful ey ? @zinc fossil

thanks for the help, im gratful for joining the server cant wait to learn more from you guys ;D

[lone osprey]

UI Brightness setting changes the overall game brightness, should the value for UI Brightness be the same as the value for Game Brightness?

[thorn wigeon]

The game drops to 40 fps every now and then, can't play without a framegen

[zinc fossil]

that sounds like a missing shader actually

are you in the beginning of the game?

or do you have any other mods installed that alter any post processing?

[lone osprey]

I'm on the first mission, the one on the mansion. I only installed the skip intro mod, but before installing it, the UI brightness slider had the same behavior.

[dim niche]

Playing with native hdr + frame gen makes certain part of texture wired ( tearing , mushroom ghosting ) , e.g . M office door

Does the mod fix this ?

[quaint oriole]

no, I hope it can in the future tho

[thorn wigeon]

I need HDR and framegen

[clever tapir]

Noticed this on the main menu only

[celest trench]

Does it do it when you're actually in the game? like not in a cutscene or anything, the entire main menu is a part of the UI so it affects it. Otherwise this setting should be agnostic to game brightness and honestly should/could be as low as you desire.

[marsh geode]

Hi friends, I know most of you already have the game but if anyone of you has a 50 series gpu and has not redeemed a game before, I have an extra nvidia steam code of the game that sadly couldn’t redeem on my gpu since I already claimed a game before, nvidia only allows one code per gpu. DM me if interested

Edit: code already sold to a lovely person from this group, cheers!

[tough granite]

Game is fantastic

Tac sim basically turns it into Hitman

[white fjord]

I just wanna say thank you so much for this ❤️

[kindred mantle]

What's your output res and DLSS quality level here? This happens to me at 1440p native/DLAA, but doesn't happen when I use DLSS quality

If you're at 4k DLSS quality then I guess 1440p internal res is just fucked up for some reason

[pure raft]

frame gen and hdr still got issues follownig yesterday's patch?

[kindred mantle]

Yes, still broken

[cyan igloo]

i think preset M is a bit fucky in this game, i forced preset L and it looks a lot better, maybe try it

[smoky lava]

i tried both L and M at performance and quality 4k

and they looked the same more or less

only native cleaned it up

[cyan igloo]

i use performance dlss and preset M had a lot of shimmering on grass, L cleaned it up lots

i think K on quality/dlaa also looks good

but it hits my fps too hard

especially without using framegen

[smoky lava]

idk man this game is just

artifacts everywhere

runs like ass to boot

[cyan igloo]

yeah honestly it definitely needs more patching imo

[smoky lava]

Native TAA doesn't AA very well

and DLAA is extremely heavy

[cyan igloo]

i think some of the textures look really bad as well in some areas

[smoky lava]

I don't even care about the textures that much

[cyan igloo]

like everything else looks great and a random object looks like its ps1

[smoky lava]

the image is just rendered weird

weird lines everywhere regardless of render res

[cyan igloo]

are u using framegen?

[smoky lava]

sometimes yes

sometimes no

the game plays like ass without frame gen

super stuttery

[cyan igloo]

the game looks really bad with FG for me, the hud elements and everything else look really bad

[smoky lava]

but it looks like ass with framegen

so pick your poison

[cyan igloo]

so i just play without FG now even though it has higher input latency without frame gen

i will not understand why theres no reflex option in this game and only turns on when using FG

so u end up with lower latency if u use FG compared to not using it which is really backwards

[smoky lava]

I'm not that latency sensitive when i play on controller

but i do notice the extremely inconsistent framerate

[cyan igloo]

i can definitely notice latency even when playing on controller unfortunately

i havent had too bad of a frametime graph without FG on though its fairly stable

[smoky lava]

oh the graph is fine

but it doesn't feel fine

like i get visible stutter on camera pans and stuff

[kindred mantle]

I'm at 1440p, but I set a custom res to 75% (1080p) and I'm seeing the foliage flickering like in Musa's video. This does not happen at DLSS quality though (960p). It also happens at 1440p DLAA

[smoky lava]

it just runs like turbo ass

[kindred mantle]

Some internal resolutions are just fucked for some reason

[smoky lava]

I would check again but idk how the game handles saves

don't really wanna replay half the game to get back where I am in case it overwrites

But yea a bugged dlss implementation wouldn't surprise me

[cyan igloo]

do u guys delete the shader cache when installing the new renodx mod? updating from beta 7 to 8 now

[smoky lava]

Guess i can try balanced to see if it cleans up some artifacts? idk

[smoky lava]

I don't unless it's specified as needed

[kindred mantle]

Balanced might be fine. Can you check Ultra Performance just to see? I tried 1440p Performance (720p) and it didn't have the flickering

[cyan igloo]

i think there was a bug in this game where i had insane stuttering when i was first playing and someone mentioned turning off g sync and turning it back on

and it fixed it? this game is weird bro

[smoky lava]

dude

what

quality balanced performance

all have the flicker

ultra performance does not

????

[cyan igloo]

lol

[kindred mantle]

Yeah idk what they did

[cyan igloo]

is the move playing this game on ultra performance ?!

[kindred mantle]

Just try setting a custom res

between the presets

Unlucky that all of 4k DLSS levels are broken

except for UP

[smoky lava]

ultra performance seems to be missing the effect tho

idk what it is

looks like ambient occlusion

[hollow yoke]

are you overriding DLSS presets etc.? If not, the game is using 310.6, so the default behaviour will use preset L at ultra performance, M at performance, and K for balanced/quality, so that might be why

[smoky lava]

Native TAA/Quality/Ultra Performance

[smoky lava]

i'm overwritting with optiscaler

[lone osprey]

yes, moving the UI brightness slider ingame does affect the whole image except the UI. I removed the shader cache of my GPU just in case, the shaders recompiled when launching the game, but the issue still persists.

[inner seal]

bro what is that foliage

[smoky lava]

💀

[inner seal]

the AO is uh

a huge blob

[smoky lava]

hang on it could be that optiscaler is not actually applying the change

[kindred mantle]

It's not the DLSS preset, I have it forced to M and I'm seeing the same behavior

[lone osprey]

Fixed it, turns out, HDR was disabled in game.

[cyan igloo]

Weird, I forced preset L in the Nvidia app and I haven't had noticable issues like that

Although tbf I'm not too far in the game either

[kindred mantle]

It depends on your internal res it looks like

[celest trench]

Gotcha, I find I have to turn HDR back on every time I launch the game with reno.

[cyan igloo]

I think you need to turn it on everytime with or without reno

It's a known bug

[kindred mantle]

960p (no flicker) / 1440p (flicker)

[smoky lava]

can confirm optiscaler works as well

[cyan igloo]

So this game just likes using lower resolutions more ? Lord

[smoky lava]

I think it's the AO that's just broken

[kindred mantle]

It does look like AO is missing at 960p

[smoky lava]

flicking back and forth, that doesn't even seem consitent

[gaunt geode]

based on the current tempo, what do you think guys? How long will it take to get a 1.0 of this mod?

[cyan igloo]

yeah sure seems like it, this game really needs more patches

[cyan igloo]

Can't say but I think the betas so far have been good ive been playing using them

[kindred mantle]

Yeah maybe not. Either way I prefer when it doesn't flicker

Visual difference isn't that much

[smoky lava]

there's no AO option in settings either

bruh

[kindred mantle]

i hate the stupid dropdown for each setting

why

[inner seal]

you dont want to click 4000 times

[smoky lava]

"optimized" game

my favourite word, love it when it gets thrown around at everything

[kindred mantle]

I do not

Okay I can't tell if it's just FSR3 being dogshit but it seems to have the same flicker at 1440p quality

whereas dlss doesn't have it at 1440p quality

[smoky lava]

I forgot the /s

[tepid mortar]

So maybe the best is to force preset L in performance?

[kindred mantle]

FSR quality / DLSS quality

Okay so FSR quality matches 1440p native

[sand night]

I think it's already using it as default

[kindred mantle]

in terms of the AO

and has the same flicker as 1440p

[smoky lava]

I guess dlss is technically broken below a certain res?

but that makes it look better so i don't even know

maybe everything above a certain res is broken instead

[kindred mantle]

lmao

75% res is more performant than 66%

because it's broken

[smoky lava]

[kindred mantle]

so that's why DLSS has poor scaling I guess, especially at 1440p

1440p native is broken, 960p isn't

[smoky lava]

I wonder what res ps5s run at

and if that maybe is the treshhold

[still saddle]

is it worth playing with renodx hdr or stick to sdr for now?

[kindred mantle]

reno is worth

even native HDR is better than SDR

So the problem isn't really DLSS scaling, it's that FSR is broken and so are certain resolutions at native

That make them way more performant than they should be

[sand night]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDwRAk292bw

performance mode looks blurry and with a lot of flickering

Even quality sometimes lol

probably using fsr1

[kindred mantle]

1080p / 960p

1080p runs faster

[sand night]

How?

[kindred mantle]

Certain internal resolutions have foliage flickering, like 1080p and 1440p. 960p doesn't have this flicker so I'm assuming something is broken at 1080p and every other resolution that has the flicker

@smoky lava does it flicker at native 4k TAA?

[smoky lava]

yes, but much less

not as clean as ultra performance

1078p also no flicker

if i go past 1080p it starts flickering

or well

the ao visibly changes

at that 1080p treshhold

above looks terrible and results in flicker

below looks fine

can't make this shit up

[kindred mantle]

Lol the performance difference

[smoky lava]

for whatever reason if i do 240hz the performance tanks at 1080p

so it's reflex/vsync locked at 115

should be couple of % higher without

but yea

absurd already

[kindred mantle]

Does that have to do with the new drivers? I think there's a bug with gsync on 4000 series cards

idk exactly

might have to do with DSC

[smoky lava]

balanced and quality seem fine?

could be tho

I rarely run at 240hz so I couldn't say for sure

[kindred mantle]

that's bizarre

it's weird how the AO behavior doesn't change below 1080p when using FSR

[smoky lava]

neither does it with Xess

so the only non borked is sub 1080p dlss

you love to see it

like it actually looks so much better

in a zone with tons of foliage

[inner seal]

time to look through the shaders to see if they reveal anything interesting

[kindred mantle]

incredible stuff

[inner seal]

curious about this one

[sand night]

Ultra performance is worth it?

Playing in 4k

[smoky lava]

dunno i didn't really play around much with it outside looking at those bushes

just do custom res

as close to 1080p as u can without reaching it

[sand night]

I'm currently playing at 4k with dlss performance

So it should be 1080p

[smoky lava]

yea 1080p is broken

1078p is not

[sand night]

yeah, i noticed some problems

Will try testing it later

[smoky lava]

at least in terms of ao

[sand night]

Problem is only with folliages? or AO too

[smoky lava]

AO in general changes at that threshold

AO on foliage is what's causing the flicker at 1080p and above

specular reflections are still bad tho

and there's still diagonal lines on everything

[sand night]

DLSS ultra performance with L preset is probably better than Performance with K, right?

[smoky lava]

I don't know how well ultra performance stacks up on other things

[charred grove]

is there a hdr renodx mod out yet?

where to find?

[tepid mortar]

Pins

[queen jolt]

What preset are yall running on this game

L, M or K

I’m currently playing 4k DlSs quality

[vestal dragon]

i always run L no matter what tbh

[queen jolt]

is L the best?

[vestal dragon]

overall yes

but more heavy

[queen jolt]

Ahh okay

Performance taxing?

[vestal dragon]

yep

[queen jolt]

ok

[inner seal]

M is the best

L is for if you need to cope with game having too much flickering, otherwise L generally has more ghosting and smearing

L also has more aliasing artifacts

as a general rule of thumb for every game anyways

[vestal dragon]

For me L has better image quality and more stabilty

and a lot of people ive seen think the same

[inner seal]

nah

[vestal dragon]

oh yea

but oh well

personal preference i guess

both are good

so its not that you are gonna be wrong with any of them

[charred grove]

i am on 4090 always use preset K

[inner seal]

L is exclusively for if there is too much flickering in base game, but yeah both are fine

[inner seal]

can't really recommend K unless game has too many problems with instability that can't be fixed

K kills specular details and highlights

and has much more ghosting on things like particles

or if a game has too much forced sharpening then would need K, like horizon - granted that game is oversharpened no matter what you do

[sand night]

I only use K because I have a 3080ti and performance in L or M is really taxing playing at 4k

[inner seal]

ye on 30 series it can be a bit much

but on the bright side at 4k, perf M is better image than quality K

[sand night]

Yes, FH6 I used it

But this more demanding games I'm stuck with preset K

[fresh lance]

was using balanced L on my 5080 but perf heavy in some parts so perf M is the way to go for me without FG

[sand night]

I'll probably change my GPU when they release the 6000 series. In my country 5070ti is not worth it

[fierce fable]

would you say so even for DLSS Quality?

[inner seal]

in general yes

it of course depends on factors like output resolution and the particular games characteristics

[fierce fable]

assuming 4K. the sharpness of the most recent model is always too much for me...

[vestal dragon]

M tends to oversharp

[inner seal]

just always turn off sharpening, is fine

[fierce fable]

thats my observation, but i tend to trust Lazorr. :)

[tepid mortar]

thats L

[inner seal]

there can be particular games where it is problematic, but in general I have always disabled all sharpening in every game

[tepid mortar]

can someone explain for what is DLSS Fix (Beta)?

i never had problems with renodx + dlss

[vestal dragon]

both can oversharp, but M looks more oversharp than L in my experience

L is more cleaner

but i mean

[inner seal]

DLSS fix is to make reshade handle framegen correctly

[smoky lava]

they don't oversharpen

[vestal dragon]

there are pleanty of videos showing the difference

[smoky lava]

it's base game sharpening you see

[inner seal]

agree

[smoky lava]

generally

yes videos showing me Horizon forbidden west

great comparison

[tepid mortar]

so should i be using it with 007 ?

[inner seal]

if you need to use some reshade effects with depth buffer or whatever

[vestal dragon]

there are more

[tepid mortar]

oh ok. so the reshade itself, not the adons

[vestal dragon]

iven seen cyberpunk, stalker, the witcher, rdd2

exp33

just need to look for it

[smoky lava]

rdr2 i would assume?

[vestal dragon]

yeye

[smoky lava]

both that and exp33 have baseline sharpening

[kindred mantle]

4.5 does look sharpened at lower output resolutions, I don't know exactly what it is but it does look unpleasant. that's why I have to use optiscaler for output scaling

[smoky lava]

exp33 can't even be turned off

[inner seal]

L is slightly softer, more ghosty and smears a bit particularly on particles, but hides some temporal noise better - and introduces aliasing artifacts on high frequency semi distant surfaces - M has less temporal denoising and can be less stable in certain situations, both are fine but L will have more artifacting in general

[restive mica]

personally i find the slight oversharpness of preset M way more enjoyable than the slight blurriness of K

[inner seal]

I pity anyone who played E33 with the default sharpening filter

awful

[smoky lava]

idk about stalker 2, but tw3 and cyberpunk can also have sharpening enabled

[restive mica]

(4k perf)

[smoky lava]

ye it's horrendous, U+ carries that game visually

[vestal dragon]

I think, in general, it’s personal preference, unless a game happens to favor one of them for whatever reason

[inner seal]

stalker 2 has a shit ton of base game problems and dlss 4.5 can't even be used vanilla

because of the insane amount of temporal instability

and bad motion vectors

you have to change all of the GI settings and disable motion vector dilation for DLSS

[dense swift]

Eveytime I try to download the pinned Reno I got a virus message

[inner seal]

tryna find cause of artifacts lol

[peak sandal]

007 first artifact

[restive mica]

is this what the software rt sees or smth?

[inner seal]

nah, just debug output in the TAA pass

[dim niche]

Put frame gen on + hdr and watch the door of M office

[inner seal]

working on this nonsense atm

[tranquil zenith]

your plants and stuff are shimmering like crazy... I'm on DLSS quality, Model M, FG enabled and they're not shimmering for me, only some light reflections do

[inner seal]

apparently its dependent on the input resolution

[inland birch]

I’ve definitely seen some crazy shimmering in some places

The glass doors with the vertical lines in the hallway outside m’s office

It almost looks like no AA at all

[tranquil zenith]

the small amounts of shimmering I get is mostly if a floor is reflecting some light or something

[tranquil zenith]

what the hell is even that

[inner seal]

fun debugging various shaders

is it anything that is lit by a directional light has lines?

[mighty wind]

Needs path tracing

5090 users playing with resolution scaling (DLSS) off right? Looks bad, shimmering, even at DLAA

[small umbra]

Good afternoon. For those who have an OLED, what’s the best HDR configuration for an OLED C5 in this game?

[green canopy]

the game has dlaa ?

i have amd and and ther eis no fsr native

[green canopy]

to be honest i have done some tweaks but it only works sfor my oled monitor i suggest u go to a dark area with a lamp and just figure the best

thats what ive done

@proven needle im playing with a 9800x3d and a 9070xt 2k max native 110 to 80 in heavy scenes

[cyan token]

I find the game blurry Even on 4K idk why

[sand night]

Me too. I think it's how the game engine looks

[clever tapir]

yep. I use lilium rcas with sharpness slider set at 0.100

[kindred mantle]

The TAA looks infinitely worse than DLAA

[solemn fox]

So should I go with native HDR or use the Beta HDR file from here? Playing the game for the first time.

[green canopy]

use renoxd hdr

night and day difference if u can tweak it properly

[solemn fox]

I don't want to tweak though😭 . For other games renodx is just a drag and drop and done for me. Does the current one need a lot of personal tweaking?

[green canopy]

not really but for me i had to , i have a weird oled monitor

XD

[solemn fox]

Ok i will just download the mod then ig. I have a 1100 nit mini led monitor

[green canopy]

dont know how it looks on a mini led but give it a try

[kindred mantle]

You don't need to tweak, defaults are good

[tardy lintel]

I see folks talking about a dlss fix - is there a link ?

[unique vine]

Oh no

Oh no no no

Tiled deferred?

Enjoy having to patch a trillion shaders

[inner seal]

working through these atm

pretty sure the normals are just fucked

like half res and scaled poorly or something

[white fjord]

I see a lot of people talking about dlss issues, and framegen issues using the reno that was uploded here? What are the issues specifically though? Currently using dlss quality, preset m, and framegen set to dynamic. Not sure what quite to look for to be "wrong" or "bad"? At 4k

[inner seal]

there appear to be input resolution related rendering problems

[solemn fox]

I have in-game filmgrain turned off. Should I also set the Renodx filmgrain slider to 0?

[inner seal]

doesnt matter if in game is off

[pliant sage]

Finished it. Game was a blast to play and the story was great. Gave me serious Uncharted moments throughout. Might hold off on the Tactical Sim stuff until the update in summer. Gives me a reason to return to it.

[green canopy]

my new skin xd

[bitter shore]

anyone know REBAR on or off for this game?

this isnt UE right?

[frozen nebula]

Gotcha, thank you.. Will swap it out, thanks for the heads up!

[kindred mantle]

Framegen has issues when HDR is enabled, doesn't matter if you're using reno or not.

[sullen rampart]

good news, game is finally in the nvidia app

[long needle]

Hi, just downloaded the beta. The presets don't seem to do anything for me though cause the sliders don't move, They just set at the default. The only change I do notice is that turning on Reno makes everything much more dim. Also manually moving the sliders don't appear to be changing anything either

[inner seal]

turn on hdr

[dry tusk]

any idea why launching the game deletes the reno file?

[inner seal]

defender

[dry tusk]

yup, that was it, thank you

[tough granite]

Is it gonna be an U+ mod through the app?

[inner seal]

no, if I figure anything out would be through reno

[tough granite]

Yeah was wondering

Cool

[long needle]

It is on

[inner seal]

it resets whenever you start the game

[long needle]

Though I have to manually turn it on every time I launch the game

[long needle]

lol was just typing about that

[tough granite]

IOI has it listed as a known issue. So it should hopefully be fixed with the first major patch

[timid perch]

I'm in

[tough granite]

We got a hotfix for a few missions and that’s it so far. Fixed like 5 things

[tough granite]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Reno is ready and sexy

[timid perch]

Playing this this weekend

[tough granite]

It’s very good. Fantastic story and I would mind if Patrick Gibson was the next bond tbh

He was so good in Dexter original sin too

[long needle]

Yeah but that doesn’t solve my issue of Reno not appearing to do anything other than dim everything lol

[tough granite]

Yeah not sure why. None of the sliders are working?

[long needle]

From what I’ve tested yeah. The presets don’t move the sliders. Manually moving them I don’t notice any change in the game

[charred grove]

Do I have to choose a preset in renohdr in this pinned mod .. it is on preset 1 on top of Reno is that the correct one or do I have to Click something to activate?

[kindred mantle]

What do you mean the sliders don't move? You can't drag them?

The presets aren't really presets

They're more like profiles

[tough granite]

You can’t manually move the sliders?

[timid perch]

Presets in Reno are there for you, the user, to save various settings

[long needle]

I can manually move them but nothing actually changes in game when doing so

[long needle]

Oh. Other RenoDX mods I’ve used have had them pre-programmed with stuff

[kindred mantle]

All the presets will be set to the same thing, that's not an issue. I don't know why the sliders aren't working though

[timid perch]

Probably thinking of a different slider. The top most Preset toggle should default to Preset 1. You can do whatever in the below settings and if you wanted to experiment with a different setup without touching your known good settings, switch to another preset at the top and adjust. Then you can switch back and forth.

[charred grove]

So this Reno doesnt Change the default hdr Setting and just is there to be Changed by User by liking?

Or do I understand that wrong 🙈

Sry first time user of Reno sry

[timid perch]

Its doing what Reno does, using its own tonemapping. You can see the difference toggling it off/on.

[kindred mantle]

It works out of the box, just adjust game brightness and peak brightness in Renodx

And make sure HDR is on in-game, it turns off everytime you launch the game

[charred grove]

Ok thanks

[timid perch]

Yeah Peak Brightness is display specific. It appears this mod reads your calibrated peak as the default which is always nice to see. So if you have run the HDR calibration tool, once in Reno you may just need to click the Default button next to Peak Brightness and it'll set itself to that. I just set it up and that was the case. Was on 1000 but pressing the button brought it to my calibrated 800.

The rest is personal preference, for the most part.

[sullen rampart]

I`m finding DLSS Q more stable than DLAA, how is that even possible...

[kindred mantle]

Whats your res

[tough granite]

DLAA has been weird in a lot of games

[sullen rampart]

1440p

[kindred mantle]

Yeah some stuff is broken at and above 1080p internal res. DLSS quality is 960p

We were discussing it here earlier #1499664181170012181 message

[bitter shore]

anyone know about Rebar in this game??

[sullen rampart]

could be related to the rtgi implementation?

[charred grove]

I have played like 40 minutes with DLAA and don’t seem to find anything weird .. playing on 4K

[timid perch]

I'll need to get past the intro sequence, I think. First tried 4K Quality (1440p render) and preset K, but more recently 4K Performance (1080p) with Preset L. Either way i'm still in the into mission where its dark and stormy so its hard to tell.

[sullen rampart]

maybe the lighting causes some weird effects over 1080p

[pliant sage]

I used dlaa for the first hour and thought it was fine. The hair was substantially better on dlaa than dlss quality from what I saw.

[sullen rampart]

Using the tac sims as a quick test, but the shelf on the right shimmers a lot with DLAA, something not present with Q. (ignore the lighting)

[wicked wasp]

channel scaling is purist

[wicked wasp]

channel scaling is the purist mode

[wicked wasp]

4k dlss performance preset m

[frozen nebula]

Yeah, I found your msg after asking.

[kindred mantle]

Just checked this and yeah, it flickers at 1080p and above. Anything below 1080p and it's stable

[restive mica]

is this dogshit dlss implementation, dlss simply being bad or terrible ao?

[cyan igloo]

terrible ao

looks like

[sullen rampart]

did not try anything but preset L, maybe its better on other preset

doubt so

[cyan igloo]

preset L looks the best imo, all the other ones look even worse

[long needle]

Good to know thanks. Still have no idea why nothing changes in game though.

I do also have the "No Letterbox - By Fertlou" mod installed which is also just a ReShade addon. Not sure if maybe that's somehow conflicting with renodx?

[timid perch]

Conflict somewhere. I'm really only in the intro area but I can tell the sliders are definitely working.

[cyan igloo]

does this game have an fov slider or am I just losing my mind in the maze of menus

[tranquil zenith]

probably makes sense there’s more shimmering for you in foliage etc, since I’m on 1440p quality

there’s an FOV mod that’s about it

[cyan igloo]

this sucks ngl, 2026 game with no fov slider on pc

[long needle]

Weirdly its started working now. I can see changes in game even though just looking at the animated main menu background wasn't changing when testing

[timid perch]

definitely do testing in game

[kindred mantle]

1080p vs 1076p. Look how much faster 1080p is than 1076p. Something changes once you get to 1080p internal res that causes stuff to flicker and performance increases

[sullen rampart]

insane comparison, would be cool that the devs know about this

[cyan igloo]

how tf

do the presets use different internal resolutions than standard? did anyone try that registry overlay to check internal resolution prior to upscaling?

[cyan igloo]

this is insane

[kindred mantle]

No, the presets use standard resolutions

[cyan igloo]

also side note, did anyone try using the renodx mod with special k?

[sullen rampart]

submitted the bug report. Let´s hope they review it

[mighty wind]

Are the haptics/triggers good? Wondering if I should dig out the dualsense and ditch the steam controller

[inland birch]

Yeah they’re pretty legit in this game

Triggers are used for gunplay and the haptics are the full audio based ones from native tittles

Only disappointment is they didn’t use the triggers for the gas petal

[cyan igloo]

i need the steam controller fr

[inland birch]

Yeah I’m still in the queue

And I got in within 2 minutes

[cyan igloo]

can't even buy it sadly, not available in my region

[zinc fossil]

I can't even order one

[zinc fossil]

same

[inland birch]

Tragic

[cyan igloo]

i saw it on ebay and it's like 300 dollars bro fuck off

[inland birch]

Wonder why valve does that

[inland birch]

Yeah don’t LOL

don’t support them

[cyan igloo]

genuinely would love to get one for the trackpads and I want to try gyro aiming

i have a dual sense but I have no idea how to set it up for pc wireless with gyro and all that stuff

[zinc fossil]

DSX

[proven needle]

steam literally has presets for that

[cyan igloo]

I tried it on control and the game just didn't register any inputs

[cyan igloo]

is it the paid app on steam?

[zinc fossil]

yea

it's good though and it's a fair price for the effort I think

[cyan igloo]

does it have the adaptive trigger stuff as well and rumble when wireless?

what's the difference between using that and just ol steam input?

[proven needle]

steam input blocks native dualsense features to begin with

[zinc fossil]

I mean you don't need it, steam input is great already

but it has some features to simulate

[zinc fossil]

on some games this happens yea

on other games if you use your controller wireless through steam input some features will simply not swork

DSX helps with that as well

[proven needle]

real native dualsense haptics require USB or making yourself a custom wireless adapter with a raspberry pi

[mighty wind]

I regret buying my steam controller tbh. It can't really be used for browsing desktop as it fucks up as soon as there is any sort of windows popup.....and the dualsense edge and xbox elite is just outright better in games

[cyan igloo]

i see, does the haptic triggers work wirelessly with dsx or only wired?

[mighty wind]

So it was a duff purchase

[zinc fossil]

adaptive triggers work wirelessly even without DSX I believe

it's only haptics that doesn't work over wireless

[cyan igloo]

ill gladly take it off ur hands 👀

[zinc fossil]

DSX has somoe haptics support over BT but I don't think it's any good tbh haha

[proven needle]

some older games still require wire I think

[zinc fossil]

or DSX

dsx does help a lot in cases like that

[proven needle]

yeah because it's fake

[cyan igloo]

i use the gamesir cyclone 2 for a while now and it's been great, the only thing im missing is just actually good gyro

[zinc fossil]

I miss haptics the most

haptics on Dualsense are amazing when implemented well

[inland birch]

You take card?

[wraith pier]

hey are you supposed to do anything other than replace the file when you change to the new version of reno?

[proven needle]

valve gamepad price is absolutely insane to me given it's literally a bog standard xbox gamepad with a trackpad

[inland birch]

DSX is… alright. Sometimes it’s really good but the wireless stuff is still not great.

[proven needle]

cheap build quality, no haptics

and people are gooning that thing

[mighty wind]

Triggers are worse

[proven needle]

also looks uncomfortable to hold

[zinc fossil]

but it screams when you drop it

[proven needle]

oh sorry 10/10

[cyan igloo]

ok worth 300$ scalper prices

[proven needle]

actually seems like a matter of time until someone mods that for dualsense

[cyan igloo]

I'll buy and try out dsx and see how it works on 007

[proven needle]

@zinc fossil did DSX add teh ability to use the psvr2 controllers like a normal gamepad

[zinc fossil]

no idea

I don't follow the updates

I just use the basics

[inland birch]

I mean, tmr sticks, trackpads, 4 back buttons, two track pads, gyro, touch sensitive sticks, touch sensitive grips, better battery than the competition, actually reparable with replacement parts via ifixit, fully featured on pc va wireless with a charging option that isn’t a port.

If you don’t like the ergonomics then nothing matters but if you compare the feature set and price to other controllers with the same features, it’s mathematically a really good deal

Cant compare it to a standard Xbox controller when it does more than the 200 elite does lol

[proven needle]

i compare it to normal dualsense

[cyan igloo]

i really want one ngl because all my games are on steam anyway so it's not a big deal to me

[inland birch]

Then it’s better in ever way except for the things Sony has patents on

F u Sony

[cyan igloo]

also navigating the desktop to play on tv with the trackpads instead of using a keyboard and mouse is a dream for me

[kindred mantle]

Same, hopefully they don't just fuck everything below 1080p as their "fix"

[wraith pier]

anyone know how to fix reno when you change it to the new model?

[cyan igloo]

Fix how?

What's wrong with it

[wraith pier]

it wont launch anymroe after i changed it to version 8

[cyan igloo]

try clearing the shaders maybe

and or reinstall reshade?

[wraith pier]

i reinstalled it and updated it

didnt work

[inland birch]

Yeah the software side stuff with it idk. I heard someone already made a tool for direct input but I haven’t really been following

[cyan igloo]

I tried it a bit earlier and it was working okay but I do keep a habit of removing shaders when updating renodx

had too many bad experiences before

[inland birch]

Apparently direct input lacks trackpad support so the they didn’t do it natively was the reason people were floating around

[wraith pier]

it says check log there were errors laoding some add ons, and i get this in logs ****

[cyan igloo]

Try deleting the reshade.ini file and let it regenerate

[wraith pier]

how do I do that?

[cyan igloo]

there should be a reshade.ini file in the game dir

delete it and start the game

it should recreate it on its own

[wraith pier]

the bottom one?

[cyan igloo]

The top one

[wraith pier]

so go to reshade after and update?

i launched the game again and it still is broke

[cyan igloo]

it should start and recreate the file without it

[cyan igloo]

game doesn't launch?

[wraith pier]

no reno still doesnt

it did before

then i deleted it and pasted the new reno add on file and it wont work anyomre

[cyan igloo]

maybe try running the reshade installer again

the new beta was working earlier for me

[charred grove]

Does the flickering above 1080p you guys encounter I personally haven’t in intro mission has to do with the mod or the game itself?

[wraith pier]

yep still broke lol

nothing works that i understand at least

[cyan igloo]

im not sure if clearing out the shader cache will help but its worth a try

[final wadi]

Is there a recommendation related to the hdr brightness slider ingame (250 per default) ?

[wraith pier]

how do you do that?

[cyan igloo]

im pretty sure renodx overrides it anyway

[wraith pier]

welp

i fixed it

i wish i understood how my own pc fucking worked lol

[cyan igloo]

do u use nvidia or amd

[cyan igloo]

lol

what was it?

[wraith pier]

i turned it on and off

[cyan igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-laptop-duh-gif-8033838636860661307

[charred grove]

How to turn Reno mod off? Press default on Reno near the bottom?

[kindred mantle]

The left most button where the presets are

[kindred mantle]

It will say off when you click it

[limpid aspen]

this can't be right, right? took the screenie using reshade

[tranquil zenith]

I think it's at the very top, where u can switch between reno and vanilla

right under presets

[frozen nebula]

Screenshot is in SDR.

Your game is probably running in SDR, you have to toggle HDR on each time you launch the game, until they fix that bug.

[tranquil zenith]

aren't there supposed to be white light beams in that scene

[limpid aspen]

Oh right, I forgot about that - I did restart recently, thanks

[tranquil zenith]

unless the less lighting option is on I guess

[limpid aspen]

oh gosh yeah, looks much better now

yeah there is @tranquil zenith - every now and then

[tranquil zenith]

ah ye I remember thinking "if someone has epilepsy, this scene is gonna take them out for sure"

everything's flashing like crazy there lol, especially bit further into the map

[timber tendon]

So luminance will still lack the blue color?

[wicked wasp]

luminance is similar to channel but better

No blurple stuff like enhanced had

[tranquil zenith]

I run purist on pretty much every game but on this one I'm running luminance tbh

[frozen nebula]

They come and go.

[tranquil zenith]

I like the way luminance looks better tbh

[frozen nebula]

it's all good.

Not me launching the game, taking bunch of screenshots.

And realize it was still in SDR.

[inland birch]

Does anyone have an issue with lockups on load screens? If I die and return to main menu or retry it just locks up

[tardy lintel]

Is there a dlss fix for the ghosting with hdr ?

[tranquil zenith]

I've not had that issue but also I've not died yet lmao

[inland birch]

This is why hdr is a scam by big light to sell more photons

[inland birch]

On hard?

[tranquil zenith]

uhh purist, whatever that is

[inland birch]

Hard can be rough because you die in 3 hits

[tranquil zenith]

well that's your issue, don't get hit next time :)

[inland birch]

If there’s a lot of guys you can kinda get combo’d to death

Like one hit equals death from stun lock

[tranquil zenith]

I'm not mega far into the game tho

I think at least

[inland birch]

I can’t tell how far I’m in honestly. I want to say I’m in the equivalent of a third act but it feels like theres gotta be more

[tranquil zenith]

I first tried the game on normal and like nah, it's actually just stupid easy on normal

on normal you can pretty much just sprint around and headshot everyone before they even start shooting

[tranquil zenith]

yeah I am probably not as far in. not sure how to mention anything of whereabout I am without using any kind of spoilers

[inland birch]

Theres mission numbers in the title card for each mission

Or you could just spoiler tag your message

[tranquil zenith]

ah I'm not currently on the game

[mighty wind]

The trigger rumble/feedback on something like Forza is way too good to give up though. That's my problem, for me to use the steam controller the game has to have no haptics or trigger stuff at all. Otherwise I'll be using my elite or edge

There will deffo be some games where the steam controller is great though. Big the biggest disappointment is how flaky the desktop support is, and how it doesn't work with non steam games added through steam

[inland birch]

Yeah anything that has the platform specific stuff that only works on those platforms controllers is obviously best with the matching controller

But if it doesn’t have one of those things(99+% of existing titles), the steam controller is better from a technical perspective

[timber tendon]

but would we say the blue is artistic direction? Or no

[balmy kite]

does anyone else have a problem with resolution resetting everytime

i have to manualy set 1440p every time i start the game

[mighty wind]

No, just HDR, which is flipping annoyinf

[boreal harbor]

Hey guys, new here, is the mod still in beta and where can I find it?

[mighty wind]

It's on the pinned comment

Yes, but it works well

Warning that HDR turns off each time you restart the game. Not a RenoDX thing, just a game thing

[boreal harbor]

Thanks fam!

[wicked wasp]

The tonemapper is basically just copy and paste of unreal engine with some small changes so hard to say how much is intentional and how much is incidental

Ultimately LMS clearly looked broken in some areas

But now it doesn’t

[timber tendon]

Ok thank you!

Great explanation

[dense swift]

Guys why I always get a virus alert when I download the Reno pinned

[zinc fossil]

false positive

[dense swift]

What can I do my pc won’t let me download it

[zinc fossil]

you could make an exclusion in windows defender

[tranquil zenith]

just got to 8 it seems lol

[dense swift]

Will check how to do that but I suppose you need to have the files first ? Because I can’t even ddl it

[zinc fossil]

I think you could make an exception for your specific game folder

and try downloading it straight there

[tranquil zenith]

does it not show the flagged file in defender tho

[zinc fossil]

otherwise you could temporarily disable defender, download and move it there

[dense swift]

I click on it and the thing disappear immediately in the defender log

[zinc fossil]

but yea you should be able to see the defender history and make an exception for the file

afterwards you should be able to download

[dense swift]

I did this but started again when I rebooted my pc, will try to do that, make the 007 files an
Exception

[dense swift]

Can’t, the thing disappear immediately it’s weird

[zinc fossil]

it should still be in the history though

usually

it's a bit annoying I know

[dense swift]

Nothing

It’s empty

[zinc fossil]

well I guess easiest would be exception for the game folder

disable it temporarily

download and move it there

then enable it again

[dense swift]

When I check my defender history it say « no recent action »

[tranquil zenith]

I think the problem would be that when he clicks download it won't go to the exception folder

[robust venture]

if he disables defender it should

[tranquil zenith]

oh wait

nvm disable ye

[robust venture]

the exception should allow it to stay when they turn it back on

[dense swift]

Yes it’s done, I downloaded it and it’s in the 007 folder

Now what ?

[tranquil zenith]

if u made the exception for the game folder, turn defender back on

[zinc fossil]

make sure you have an exception configured for the game folder

[tranquil zenith]

boys we got him, I have entered his pc main frame

[dense swift]

Yeah it’s done

Thank you guys

[dense swift]

Im done

The game keep turning HDR off

Annoying

[tranquil zenith]

yupp, just gotta remember to toggle it back on. every timee

[dense swift]

The optimization is nice tho

For such a beautiful game

[zinc fossil]

I'm waiting for musa to finish V 1.0

looking forward to playing this

[dense swift]

Im 4h in I think its really cool

[slate sonnet]

ehh its not that optimized

[dense swift]

Really ?

I have a lot of fps

No hiccups

Really beautiful

[mighty wind]

I think it runs well

Many graphical faults though

Just for us picky fuckers

Also, image seems a bit soft to me. Even at native

I keep rubbing my contact lenses

[boreal harbor]

I tried looking but can’t find this info (sorry) - if my screen’s peak brightness is 2500 nits (as calibrated in Windows), what would be the “proper” in game slider value? Or is that up to preference?
Edit: I am using the mod

[vestal escarp]

Hi guys, it's better for channel or luminance ? thx

[mighty wind]

In game slider does nothing if using the mod. Just set the peak brightness in the mod settings to 2500 and you're done

Which screen do you have?

[mighty wind]

Luminance is recommended by the mod author, hence being the default

[zinc fossil]

luminance looks more natural I think

[boreal harbor]

Ahhh I see, I was on vanilla for some reason 😂 I have an LG G5

[mighty wind]

With RenoDX you can almost always just leave everything at default, except setting your peak brightness in the mod settings

[dense swift]

That why I always use now the sharpener from Illium

It’s the best I ever saw

It’s amazing

you can put it at 100 and it’s not ugly like other sharpener

[mighty wind]

RCAS?

[dense swift]

I just saw recently it’s included in a lot of Reno mods lol

Yeah

[mighty wind]

Are you guys using it even with preset M/L?

I'm rocking DLAA, preset M. Should be sharp enough!! But I might add RCAS

[dense swift]

Im always using it, the difference is night and day

Even at 4k

[mighty wind]

Lilium is a genius

[dense swift]

Yeah he’s the only guy I use reshade option

I can’t play recent game without RCAS and Reno today

Feel like a waste

[mighty wind]

Same, analysis shader is keybound to right square bracket 😊

I need to bind RCAS actuallt

[dense swift]

What’s that

[mighty wind]

Liliums HDR analysis. Shows the brightness (nits) and colour distribution

Max, min, average nits etc

Really helps see if you have raised black levels. Also if peak brightness is being adhered to

It's in same pack as rcas

[boreal harbor]

RCAS is “Lilium’s Contrast Adaptive Sharpening”?

[mighty wind]

No

Liliums Robust Contrast Adaptive Sharpening

You want RCAS, not CAS

[hybrid pendant]

im not seeing that RCAS. Am I missing something?

[inner seal]

turn on hdr

[zinc fossil]

it's in the list you sent but you need to turn on hdr yea

although they should work even in sdr

[hybrid pendant]

oh duh i forgot 007 HDR keeps turning off on boot. ty

which RCAS mode is preferred? Luminance?

[slow solstice]

shockedmonkey
seizure warning for anybody with epilepsy

[oblique glen]

does anyone have a save file in chapter 4?
my save file got corrupted😭

[frozen nebula]

Tried downloading old cloud saves?

https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=3768760

Download your old saves from there, and see if that helps.

[sand night]

If you cap your fps with RTSS or something simillar the loadings take so much longer

I was going crazy trying to figure out what was happening

[slow solstice]

found its not related to renodx, its an issue with the dxgi.dll bundled with reshade causing problems when using dlss on linux - fixed by grabbing reshade64.dll from a nightly build on github

[clever tapir]

DLAA but preset K. With Lilium's RCAS set to 0.100. Seems perfect to my eyes

[livid jolt]

anyone know why post effects settings doesnt take effect when i turn them off
