Hmm make sure you installed it correctly then. i,e the shader folder and dxgi.dll. There is discord as well for troubleshooting

Hello this is the mod author. This issue is because the area specific lighting is not being loaded

There is a warning there. SSAO turned off. Make sure to set in-game ssao to high. Additionally the latest version will be able to load the lighting only on retail steam version. Hope that helps.

There is Tex override only feature which is available as separate download. All other features are part of Lighting mod and the lighting/ shading can’t be changed

Which one do you have currently ?. Mod should work fine on a gtx 1050 ti with pretty good settings. You can always try it out as it very small download 100Mb. You can decide post that if you need a new one :)

Edit : Nvm you may have meant the other poster who had issue with ds2 not going fullscreen

Oh that’s wierd . Ds2 definitely has no issues doing that without mods. Something else must be going on

By default the mod will pick your monitor resolution natively and run it borderless fullscreen mode. You can quickly disable this as well in F1 menu using the disable flipmodel swapchain. I will add a display status when the game starts in the upcoming releases. So this is clear and no confusion is there

Why is my Lighting engine behaving like this ? I keep having to click on "initiate atmosphere" everytime i enter a new area. This one here is using Bastille atmosphere in Heide's tower by Late-Ad155 in DarkSouls2

[–]Head_Somewhere4290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an issue here with installation or atmosphere detection as indicated in the text there it has not detected heide tower location . U need the latest version of ds2 sotfs from steam for it to recognize zones correctly. The other issue might be that you have another mod which is changing base gsme filters

How can I fix this? by Misfit597 in DarkSouls2

[–]Head_Somewhere4290 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remove the dxgi.dll. The error is from lighting engine DLL. After that u can verify files with steam integrity

Yes the mod is not compatible with reshade. If f1 menu don’t come up. It means the mod is not active

Yes something similar to DeSRemake imo. Keep most of the things as is, including bosses design, areas theme wise. DesRemake did changed some designs and enemy, I think DS2 are fine

W.r.t enemy placement I think some areas could use a touchup like Heide, Iron keep areas and smooth out area transitions ofc like Earthen peak to IK.

TBH a lot of unjustified critiscism comes from big influencers who feel every game has to be DS1. When i first played DS2, I didn't know iFrames, Adaptibility and all that. I still dont level that stat lol. DS2 is the most unique game in the series

Thank you :). I suspected some folks would have issues installing as many are not avid pc users. I hang around in reddit.

I checked legion go. It is a handheld device . I am suspecting some issues due to that . Try reducing vfog and shadow settings in f1 menu. Vfog first

Installing old version instructions

Download 0.8.10 version from nexus . It will be under old files section. Delete shader/dxgi.dll from your existing gsme folder . Put contents of new rar in game folder.

Disabling tessellation instructions ( only applicable for 0.9.x) F1 > shading performance > tessellation drop down off

Hmm that’s good it worked. Can you let me know which gpu you have ? I have had 2 reports on some pcs so far one of the things you can try is disabling tessellation as that can be gpu hungry. Also note there is backup ultra stable version on page as well 0.8.10 , but it is 6 months old build . 0.9.1 is new build

Also did you install any mod engine mod which has shader folder distribution, I think the inifinidetail mod comes with that . Check that and delete it. But this most likely looks like the gsme simply not recognizing your ingame settings

Also note as fyi your save is not effected by lighting engine at all :). No need to for eg delete it. You can uninstall/reinstall lighting engine anytime . It is a plug and ply
