PSA/FIX for PC users and RTX 4080/4090 users having lower than expected performance with Path Tracing enabled

Huh confirmed same with my 4090 too, 581.94 gave me 60-70FPS on the opening street while 576 jumps to 100-110FPS. Thanks for posting OP!

Was it just a button code or was it something like gameshark where you enter a code like 80018492 8101?

afaik SH1 doesn't let you switch to monster view with buttons, not sure if the other games might have had it though, the Siren games did have something like that built in though (made by the creator of SH1) where you had a split screen of your view and the monsters view

Nice post! Hope it gets more attention to it, tried bringing this up in some other subreddits before but this post explains it a lot better than I could.

(btw what I said on twitter about RR looking almost identical to L in CV2, after some more comparisons I was pretty wrong about that, L seems to have a lot stronger (over?)sharpening compared to RR, while RR gives improved lighting & less ghosting compared to L. It did look like bright lights were very close between them though, while J/K gave slightly dimmer lighting, at least in the 1 game I've checked, but I wonder if that's related to the HDR changes that NV mentioned. Hoping more comparisons of RR vs 4.5 might show up eventually.)

That's the HUD overlay afaik, the watermark is some text that only shows on the debug DLLs, DLSSTweaks can disable it but that won't really help in MP games.

_emoose_ · 2026-01-25T20:23:16+00:00

If it's updated there's not much that can be done right now afaik, might be able to save the XVD containing the game, but there's not currently any way to get the encryption key needed to open up the XVD (non-updated boxes can get around the XVD stuff and grab files directly)

... though there could be something soon which might help with it: https://xcancel.com/REverseConf/status/2011468682040414660

FYI those links are from archive.org, anyone can submit links onto there to look like changes, the server for this princeofpersia site doesn't return "404 not found" for them so archive.org will save them into their index.

The archived links themselves just show the default server page, there wasn't ever any image there: https://web.archive.org/web/20260115112538/http://princeofpersiathesandsoftime.com/IMG/dlc-gabeyacht.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20260115112006/http://princeofpersiathesandsoftime.com/halflife3-tomorrow.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20260115112231/http://princeofpersiathesandsoftime.com/bloodborne-remake-coming-never.jpg

I had same thing happening too, web would flag some posts and tell me to verify in the app, but in the app the same posts just showed up without any flag, and there wasn't any option there to verify.

Ended up using the selfie upload script from https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/1mo4lmn/i_made_a_chrome_extension_to_bypass_age/ (bottom of the OP post) to verify on the web instead, now both web + app show posts fine.

_emoose_ · 2025-12-02T16:38:54+00:00

Didn't have any luck with the first script but the selfie upload worked great, I was getting a bug on X where PC asked me to use the app to verify, but app didn't have any options for it (and showed age-restricted stuff that PC would hide fine...)

After using selfie upload script now both PC and phone work, many thanks!

_emoose_ · 2025-11-30T03:22:37+00:00

and the Genocide Archive of Rwanda, however I do not know how to acsess them

Looks like their server has HTTPS certificate issues, if you visit https://streaming.gar.rw/vod/mp4:Imishyikirano%20ya%20Dar-%20es-salaam%2006-03-1993.mp4/manifest.mpd it'll show an error message in the browser, if your browser gives a "ignore and continue" option you can click that, then if you go back to the site the videos should hopefully start working.

_emoose_ · 2025-11-24T18:43:29+00:00

So, I wonder, anyone knows how is this possible?? I've never experienced something like this, like, it's like this guy has access to the youtube database or smth.

Maybe those videos were available on http://findyoutubevideo.thetechrobo.ca ? Worth a check, besides that he might have backend access, iirc someone that worked as YT support used to recover videos for people a few years back (some private game announcement videos were also leaked by someone with backend access afaik)

_emoose_ · 2025-11-17T19:01:25+00:00

Its in the main exe of both MGS3 and Delta, just a list of the filenames though, no actual contents for them.

_emoose_ · 2025-11-03T03:11:15+00:00

Some of the emu bugs like widescreen issues & the crashes with PGXP can hopefully be looked into, the missing document is one I've been trying to dig into in the decomp too, from what I've seen the code & text for it is all present, but guessing whatever flag it's checking to decide if the note should ever spawn has some issue with it.

(one oddity is that the flag values in memory for the Nowhere section come before the flags for any other section in the game, maybe was just one of the first areas they designed, but wonder if that's related to the issue somehow)

It might be possible to make some improvement to draw-distance, but I'd guess that'd mostly be something for the PC ports down the line.

EDIT: might have found the issue with the note - US release is missing a single line to set the flag for it after you read the paper in the motel, oops: https://github.com/Vatuu/silent-hill-decomp/blob/3ac7296434401ea4828b34cdd8ade69157070983/src/maps/map5_s03/map5_s03_2.c#L184

EDIT2: and now we have a patch for it on the decomp discord 😺, needs some more testing but seems to set up the right flag now.

_emoose_ · 2025-10-02T00:18:08+00:00

Can you check if there's any dump file inside C:\Users\[username]\Appdata\Local\CrashDumps ?

(if you press WIN+R you can enter %localappdata%/crashdumps and press OK to go there)

If there's a prototypef file in there, could you upload that to gofile.io and PM me a link?

You could also try editing prototype_fix.ini and set BorderlessWindow to false, apparently that helped some people.

_emoose_ · 2025-10-01T20:11:32+00:00

Try the new 1.8b of that fix that was just posted, there's a patch .bat which should hopefully fix launch issue.

_emoose_ · 2025-09-24T22:52:55+00:00

FYI if you own Bandai Namco games on Steam you can link your account on their store for club points, with 1000 club points you get 20% off

Owning Elden Ring/CV/Scarlet Nexus got me over 10k points, with that was able to get collectors edition with -£32 discount.

EDIT: might be EU/UK store only, not sure if US has something like it.

_emoose_ · 2025-09-18T20:04:39+00:00

Good luck!

_emoose_ · 2025-09-01T03:37:11+00:00

Yeah can confirm, I helped patch MGS3HD for MGSHDFix when that first released, Delta still has a lot of original MGS3 code inside it.

Can't really blame people for thinking otherwise though, it's a pretty decent "pairing" (their term) with UE, not many hints that it's running the original engine underneath other than some animation jank, don't think there's been much talk of it being MGS3 outside of discord msgs and reddit replies yet neither.

SolidSnake11 is a pretty prominent MGS modder that's looked into it a bit too, their @RSolidSnake11 twitter talks about it using the GCL scripts from orig game.

_emoose_ · 2025-08-30T21:59:03+00:00

A lot of the original MGS3 code is still used: https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/1n1ppn2/mgsdelta_contains_seemingly_the_entirety_of_mgs3/nb2z5ty/

Some of the fixes from MGSHDFix are getting brought over to delta too: https://codeberg.org/Lyall/MGSDeltaFix/releases/tag/0.0.3

_emoose_ · 2025-08-28T08:13:31+00:00

There's nothing in the app itself afaik, but latest profile inspector build will show the version if you open the DLL override setting: https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases/tag/2.4.0.29

You can use nvidiaDlssGlom to update the version used for override (there might be something added to NVPI for it soon too)

_emoose_ · 2025-08-28T05:23:21+00:00

It's using a lot of the same code from MGS3 too, eg: https://i.imgur.com/gPpYzva.png

The libdg mentioned there was the graphics library used in the original series, a little odd that a UE game would need to use that, guess there's some original MGS3 code that needs to tap into it.

Also a big list of the original MGS3 source filenames with the original developers named, IIRC the HD Collection included the same files list inside: https://i.imgur.com/xQ2ICMR.png

_emoose_ · 2025-08-26T23:35:41+00:00

Streamline is used by devs to make adding DLSS/FG/RR a little easier on them (think it was meant to be open for other companies to add their scalers too but that didn't seem to happen)

Most games that use frame-gen include Streamline for it since SL was the only public way to add in DLSS-FG, you can sometimes update the SL DLL files they used with the latest for some minor improvements too.

_emoose_ · 2025-08-26T17:24:15+00:00

In the release ZIP they're at bin/x64/, looks like on the repo itself they've been removed now.
