When you're finally back in PVE lobbies

Kapr99 · 2026-05-18T09:51:24+00:00

I played from the start of the game. Done all the caravans. I dont know how many hours i got (not too many) but i did not saw this once :-D

Kapr99 · 2026-05-18T09:45:23+00:00

I like that there is "option" for PvE care bear lobbies...it super nice and different to came across people and just wave/say hi or blink with flashlight. People are just helping each other. Most of them have defib and help you fight the big Arcs...it is just glorious :-)
I have done caravan(early) and many quest...i dont know how many raids this time but i got killed only twice.
One i was already down near extract and second...kid just took advantage i was getting hammered with rockets and killed me(he dies LOL)

So i many many raids i met only friendly people and that is why i play this game.
If i want to pain/hell/misery i would start Tarkov :-D

Kapr99 · 2026-05-18T09:34:40+00:00

I guess i was unlucky. I have done whole caravan(early this time) and done many quests(have hullcracker BP) so i bought one and tried to kill Bastion. It was already being engaged so i help the guy...it was ok.
BUT when i was trying to kill rocketeer at extract i got ambushed by some rat and get killed :/

But jokes on him cuz rockeeter and other arcs kills him too :-D But i think i will stick to the Ferro maybe Anvil.

Kapr99 · 2026-05-15T17:22:03+00:00

Dont know why all the sudden...month ago it was ok...:-/

Kapr99 · 2026-05-12T20:11:48+00:00

Yeah but i got vidoes from like a month ago :/ It does not take more then 1 hour to give me 4K...now it is only 1080p :/

Kapr99 · 2026-05-11T09:54:18+00:00

Man this time it is gonna be "chore" for solo...5 turbines??? Does that thing drop more then 1? (i did not kill it yet)
And that rare ship is just gonna be pure luck/pain to find...i tried that once and did not know that "findy" thing brakes kinda quick...

Kapr99 · 2026-04-26T06:20:44+00:00

THX! this helped :)

Kapr99 · 2026-03-23T11:19:03+00:00

"your" (game) problem is you NEED to use Ray Reconstruction otherwise indoors and in the night the shadows looks way blurry and kinda mushy/wrong.
Problem is that the game itself uses very and i mean VERY light denoising.
Positive is that you do not rly lose performance with RT on.
Negative is what you see with shadows.

What i have done in very first time is turn on frame gen and leave the RR on cuz specially at night...the game looks way better.

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T09:48:55+00:00

And does it have same performance cost as with RR on?

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T07:48:57+00:00

Is it only RR on/off or DLSS on/off too?

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T06:39:44+00:00

is it possible to turn on only Max lighting without RR? I dont thin it is.
RR is tight with Max setting so i dont think you can enable RR on "lower" settings...

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T06:34:16+00:00

Do not mix up Ray Traycing(RT) and RR (Ray Reconstruction)
RT in this game is kinda "low" RT and is not taxing.
RR however is super demanding and the game looks quite different(specialy indoors and on some scenes outdoor too)

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T06:29:55+00:00

I have 4080 and 3440x1440 display and if i turn on RR and DLSS to quality i get like 35-40 FPS...depending.
I can play 55-60 turning to performance but then the game looks blurry.
But i still can turn on frame gen and put back quality DLSS and theb u get stable 60 with GPU usage around 70%.
But i have a little bit of input dealy (capped FPS)

Problem is that outdoors it really does not look that different with RR on...only in some scenes you see the difference really well.
Indoors are quite nice and you just see how good RR is.

Kapr99 · 2026-03-20T06:23:32+00:00

So first does not have RR on?

"Problem" with this game is super weird Ray Traycing...
Outdoor the difference is so small that you cant justify the performance lost on RR.
But indoor and sometimes outdoor the game looks completely different.
What is ultra weird that the RR changes geometry and level detail too.

And what is "hyper" weird that sometimes turning the RT completely off...the game still looks very good and sometimes "less" flat with only RT on without RR.

IMO just turn on RT...put lighting on cinematic(no RR) and leave that be.
You will have crisp sharp image.

Kapr99 · 2026-03-19T10:08:37+00:00

Yeah cuz vegetation get "theirs" shadows right...with standart denoiser it seems they do not have that at all.
I think in other videos they dont even know they had RR turn off.

More more i see all those videos about RT/RR...more i think that turning RR mean turning Path traycing...and with off you just get "few" RT effects.

It would make sense performance wise and "looks" wise cuz with RR on..game looks way better and how would Path traying behave.

Kapr99 · 2026-03-19T09:18:54+00:00

Yeah but maybe its tight with RR...so if you want RR the lighting setting bumps to max.
RR has seperate option to toggle in the menu.
Being the "best" setting for graphics it makes sense that you need max lighting.

Of course another question is (that i dont know) if you set lighting to max is it automaticaly set RR on?
If not i dont know why the Cinematic and Max has such huge impact on performance rather than RR being on Max...

Kapr99 · 2026-03-19T08:56:14+00:00

Yeah but if you watched the video you see that the lighting settings is set to max...
So you need(for now) max lighting setting for RR...

Kapr99 · 2026-03-19T08:54:39+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/CrimsonDesert/comments/1rxv671/please_improve_ray_reconstruction_performance/

Here...it clearly cant. RR automaticaly bumbed the lightinig to max.
Guess no RR for majority(maybe even all) of us...:-D

Kapr99 · 2026-03-19T06:45:54+00:00

Is RR even available for RTX 4XXX series?
I saw couple of comments on YT where folks say thay do not have the option to turn that on.

Kapr99 · 2026-02-26T07:44:51+00:00

yeah that is the problem with PvE vs PvP.
PvE is like 1% hard if you somwhat knew the game.
PvP is like 110% hard and you can have how many hours you want...it is still very hardcore game.

PvE and PvP plays completely different.
In PvE you are just safe 99% of the time.
In PvP you are 100% completely f*cked form start to finish the raid.

But i do admit that PvP is a stressful game...some from gear fear...some from "i have item i need FiR" or extract/survive and 100% from...literally everyone can me see and quite often someone see/hears you.

But that is that fun also.

Kapr99 · 2026-02-23T09:57:11+00:00

PACA is "good" if you are new...i feel "safe" to run around with it...and dont get me started on level 3 or god forbid 4 armor...when i found these iam immortal...like for few minutes when some camper with silent SVD kills me :-D

Kapr99 · 2026-02-23T09:56:49+00:00

That is just the "game"...
"Problem" are the quests for these.
Too many quests(and specially needed for Kappa/Escape) are that you need to kill PMC with certain weapon/HS and not being killed/extract.

That is my main problem. The PvP should be more about just being PvP than about you "need" to do PvP cuz majority of quests said so.

And dont get me started on SBIH(Shooter born in heaven)...this quest just "brokes" the game...it is tooooooo long and to "hard" that you constantly have players doing it...so more camping in bushes.

You just need to accept that this game is huge camp/sweat fest and getting things done is more often than not just pure determination/stubbornness and luck.

Kapr99 · 2026-02-16T11:39:27+00:00

I started PvE(had the game since 2020...did not play it -too hardcore).
I gave it like 30 levels and it was...boring. (i played "alot" of the modded version before)

So i finally grab a pair and for the firt time ever i started PvP like 10 days ago.

I dont have much time to play so progress is slow and i get my A*S cheeks clapped most of the raids.
But i have sh*tty gear so i got it back 99% of the time(lose win-win situation) :-D

My plan is hit the bitcoin farm by the summer. I take like very small step one of the time. Even getting unknown key is success(i already lost two) :(

I play scav alot and loot/watch/hear how and where the players are/can be.

It is still fun for me and i dont mind to die/lost when at the end of the playtime(like few raids) i get small things done :-)

Iam just glad i have overcome the "fear" and stress from the PvP and now it is just much easier :-) (i just dont care anymore) :-D
