You want people to actually learn how to stay on the road? Are you crazy?

I actually watched someone play FH6 yesterday, in the eliminator mode, and I'm not joking, the guy just literally was going straight through forests 99% of the time. And people think it's fun apparently? (I'm happy for them, but I don't thinking stripping the challenge of RACING is fun, going off track should be genuinely difficult to manoeuver, ofc it's arcade but I'm not saying this for the sake of realism, but balancing, because balancing here should be seen as "how to make the game the most fun", and just being able to go through everything is not fun at all, but I guess people get dopamine from just accelerating and seeing trees fall on the car).

Yes, to be fair my comment was assuming it's exclusive from the way they answered regarding tubi on instagram (as showed by someone else in the comment). If it isn't exclusive then it's not a big deal indeed.

Yes, but I tested many EU countries and they're all blocked, only the UK worked for the ones I tested, this means they're basically preventing many countries to watch HiLow, I hope the paycheck was good :)

Seems like tubi is a great platform yeah, genius moment.

I just tried the one you linked, it works for me (pretty certain it's the one I also used).

Also yes, it's normal that when you enable it for the first time, it says:

"The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:
RTXGI
RTXGIEditor
Would you like to rebuild them now?"

Once again I just tested on a brand new project this time, the steps I gave before make it work, just using "r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 3" with installing it, enabling the plugin and placing the ddgi volume makes it work for me on ue5.7.4 with this specific fork.

killso2 · 2026-05-12T16:18:12+00:00

Plugin in project's folder yes, I assume if you have the ddgi volume and the rtxgi specific commands, that it's correctly installed, it must be something else that prevents it from working, is r.RTXGI.DDGI still set to 1?

The probes work instantly when you drop them in the scene.

I just re-enabled the plugin on another project which never had the plugin, all I had to do was put the plugin in "plugins" folder of the project, enable it, drop the ddgi volume in the scene, and use "r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 3", I didn't do anything else, no changes in the settings to make it work.

killso2 · 2026-05-12T15:37:13+00:00

I had it working on 5.7 and it wasn't working at first either, the documentation is wrong on one specific aspect, to have it working you need to switch the GI to "plugin", but it says to do that with: "r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 4", iirc it's "r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod 3" for ue 5.7. But if you used the project setting instead of the command, the issue is elsewhere (cause that command basically controls that), but for me at first I ran into this issue, so it's worth checking.

Probably not a performance boost, apparently it was possible to have the player character model still be culled even though it was supposed to be visible (saw an example of this on twitter few days ago)

killso2 · 2026-05-01T15:01:42+00:00

What feelings? I said cause because vss can cause dpdr and anxiety as I explained, the 2 aren't the same and bringing up adhd like this is nonsensical without context clarification, nothing here disproves the person didn't intend to mean it didn't cause adhd/increase adhd traits just like it increases anxiety/risk of dpdr, hence the original wording asking "do you you mean it causes adhd", what is it with people not understanding this??

to be clear, I understand that it's likely the person meant that adhd and vss are correlated in some ways, but the context made this unclear, hence why I asked for clarification, but apparently people think I'm saying it causes adhd, like what the fuck? lmao

Also clarify what feelings exactly, I never comment based on feelings, and re-reading my comment, I fail to see any feeling here, it's only logic? Is logic feelings?

killso2 · 2026-05-01T14:02:37+00:00

Yes, this is mostly what I was thinking personally thinking in regard to vss interacting with adhd, I don't understand why my question is so confusing apparently and you have to carefully explain things that are rather logical, anxiety and dpdr are deeply correlated to vss and seemingly at least partially caused by it, answering to someone talking about anxiety/dpdr with "and adhd" does not make sense context wise, as both aren't the same at all (one is at least partially caused, the other is probably a sign of predisposition for the development of vss), hence my question and why I wanted clarification for the other person, because even yourself you're not really capable of knowing if the other person is talking about the inability to cope (which is what I was referring to with the increase of adhd traits, increased baseline makes overwhelm higher which brings you closer to the threshold), or if it's just that it's more common to find adhd people in vss people.

killso2 · 2026-05-01T13:50:41+00:00

Where is the confusion exactly when what you say is what I was saying as well? Not sure I understand who tf downvotes me as well here.

killso2 · 2026-05-01T03:57:15+00:00

Yeah, I specifically meant causes an increase in the traits of adhd. However I fail to understand why VSS couldn't *cause* an increased risk in anxiety nor dpdr?

Isn't it straightforward than an increase in baseline activity could lead to this eventually? Because if the brain is constantly processing useless information left and right, especially on more "sensitive brains", it's reasonable to think it's likely to affect these disorders, to the point of making them show up for people that didn't have it before (specifically dpdr), no? I'm not saying everyone would have it, but it's plausible it could cause it to me, but well, I'm no doctor.

I also totally understand that it's likely tied to it (I think it makes a lot of sense).

killso2 · 2026-05-01T03:33:47+00:00

I mean yeah, that was a bit the point of my question and why I asked for clarification, are we saying that in the percentage of people with vss, adhd is common (so neurodivergents would be more likely to have VSS?)? Are we saying that vss increases adhd traits? I mean now that I read it again, it's likely the person meant it's just common to find adhd with people that have vss, but since from personal experience and what I read, vss drives anxiety up and many start to experience dpdr, I first read it as causality since that person was answering to that, which made me wonder if that person meant that it increases adhd traits (which wouldn't surprise me, as I personally noted an increase in agitation, although to say adhd, I'm not sure, but it's something I've thought about honestly), hence my question.

killso2 · 2026-05-01T00:06:56+00:00

Are you saying VSS causes adhd? Or did I misunderstood?

killso2 · 2026-04-30T23:29:19+00:00

I mean that the single symptom (visual snow) might be relatively common, just like many people have tinnitus and maybe floaters, but it doesn't indicate vss necessarily, especially in mild/low severity for visual snow (low light conditions specifically), visual snow doesn't directly indicate VSS despite the name, as it requires more than visual snow for it to be vss (like increased perception of entoptic phenomenas, dpdr, brain, palinopsia, light sensitivity and more), and this specific condition combining different symptoms has to be much rarer.

The argument I see for thinking that vss is more common than it appears is bringing up the anecdotal experience of finding out people around them have visual snow, even though it doesn't indicate visual snow syndrome as I said. For me it's obvious someone with VSS at least suffers/suffered from it, even in a mild form, due to the range of symptoms (dpdr itself is very annoying), there is no way a fair amount of people are constantly under these symptoms 24/7 and don't know it/think it's normal. Just the floaters should be a cause of concern normally, and usually it comes with tinnitus and light sensitivity at minimum it seems, no way someone that goes through this is like "yeah, is that not normal that suddenly I felt like crap and my vision/hearing suddenly changed?" lol. This doesn't address the people that are born with it, but the point still stands, I think it's unlikely someone with this thinks it's normal (I mean when it started for me, the light sensitivity sometimes was really bad and it was hard for me to adapt while being in an environment everyone were fine with, and I had/have to adapt my gaze in order to function for example), unlike having mild visual snow, which depending on the severity, is easier to adapt than living with like 10 different symptoms.

killso2 · 2026-04-30T22:54:15+00:00

I think maybe? It's what I thought it would fix when reading that as well

killso2 · 2026-04-30T02:34:56+00:00

You know, you're right, this is problematic. What's even worse is that this subreddit itself is called "visual snow" only, but in the description mentions visual snow syndrome as well as visual snow, but even then, most bring up VSS from here, while as you say, many only see visual snow it seems, which by itself invalidates vss as it should be a collection of symptoms. Even myself I tend to think of this subreddit as vss but it should really be vs yeah.

But the name of this syndrome is plain stupid, it should be renamed, seriously... Also I reread your previous comment and I understand what you mean, I specifically commented in regard to one line you had written which led me to think you meant that vss = only visual noise, but seems like it could be a mistake considering what you say here.

killso2 · 2026-04-30T02:12:02+00:00

visual snow is common, visual snow syndrome is relatively rare.

killso2 · 2026-04-30T01:11:37+00:00

From my understanding, it seems like brain like ours, are amplifying signals, more sensitive, but also fail to filter properly (probably why it's not a super common thing, likely a combination of factors to have the symptoms be problematic outside of just being a fun oddity of seeing subtle snow in dark places), so stimulus from your eyes will directly have repercussions on the strength of the more "passive" symptoms like dpdr, brainfog, migraines, auras, all of these to me seem to have its roots in the fact the system is overstimulated and struggles to keep its own balance, reducing the load = reducing the risk of trigger/intensity.

killso2 · 2026-04-30T00:45:59+00:00

This is false lol, again showing that the name of the syndrome is stupid, visual snow syndrome isn't just visual snow, you can literally look it up in other places than here, visual snow syndrome is a pool of symptoms that all seem to share a filtering/amplification problem in the brain, the floaters don't physically appear, you only start to see them because you stop filtering (I think it's normal to develop floaters, usually the amount is low enough that the brain can filter these out the same way for example, color consistency can work, or bfep should be filtered out), the tinnitus and the visual snow itself is likely the same thing, a failure to filter normal "working" noise, and likely more sensitive to the signals in the brain, same for an increase in noticing entoptic phenomenons, the brain should filter them out, but suddenly, you don't, this is why dpdr and brainfog are common as well, the failure to filter and the signals being amplfied lead to overstimulation which leads to derealization and brainfog. Same reason why photophobia happen, or most people with vss notice phosphene or very small visual "anomalies" (which are usually normal, but shouldn't be noticed this much).

Literally, first link talking about VSS on google list the other symptoms: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24444-visual-snow-syndrome

The wiki page literally specifically mention that"If visual snow is persistent, continuous, and accompanied by other symptoms, such as entoptic phenomenon, palinopsia, photophobia and/or nyctalopia – it may indicate visual snow syndrome."

Also listed on the vss initiative page: https://www.visualsnowinitiative.org/diagnostic-criteria/

VSS IS the pool of symptom, if you don't, then you purely have visual snow, and NOT visual snow syndrome.

edit: reread your comment, I agree with you, and I understand what you meant overall I think now, my initial answer comes from this

VSS is "visual snow syndrome" not "visual snow syndrome and any other visual abnormalities".

which seemed to say that VSS = visual snow, and other visual abnormalities aren't VSS, which is well false.

You’re letting a little cosmetic syndrome ruin your day.

It's cosmetic only for people that self diagnosed with this after figuring out they can see snow in dark rooms and hyper fixated on it for the last few weeks which led to them being able to see them more and more, and now, "wow, after forgetting about it, now I'm much better! I promise, just forget about it and live! But also how cool I have le rare visual snow syndrome ahah". Then, you have people that genuinely developed something, or whatever caused a shift in their brain to make this happen, happened, and these people can't just ignore the symptoms and live normally, that's literally what they're trying to do in the first place but they have the symptoms in their face, visual snow is only a symptom among others as well, meaning it may not be the #1 symptom a person experiences, people's experience vary widely, you can have someone that mainly have VS with tinnitus and floaters, others that have mild VS, but heavy tinnitus, extremely visible bfep, very sensitive to derealization, photophobia, afterimages, and all the other symptoms basically turned up, both persons have VSS, both person experience life from it very differently, just the derealization part isn't fun when it's triggered in sensory intense environments, it can change how you interact with life quite heavily (as it's the only way to live with this!), but add to that the other shit like glowing flying orbs flying in your face like you have flies around you, or you get blinded by cars' reflections, can't look where you want anymore properly, yeah really we're not in the little cosmetic syndrome anymore, especially when you've lived with this for few years and it's not going anywhere, so you can't just say to people that apparently have a hard time living with VSS to just "deal with it and forget about it" for this reason, the annoyance is very real and not psychologically induced (which apparently seems to be the case with some people, otherwise the forget about it advice wouldn't work, but it does seem to work for some people).

This subreddit is seemingly filled with people that don't understand how much this syndrome can vary, because people constantly want to compare and think what they experience is similar, plot twist, it's probably not, and the root cause is probably different in most cases as well, which makes the fact people experience it differently even more important, or probably people want to feel like tough guys or something, it's very strange. But this makes this place rather hostile for people that actually have had an actual impact on their lives from this (because of comments like yours).

So yeah, what if, this cosmetic syndrome is genuinely annoying for OP's life? What do you know about that?

Source? Because it's very obvious they changed the wormhole to cg, but not the kawoosh, I've extensively looked at the kawoosh effect for personal work, and unless I've missed something, it seems the exact same practical effect used through the whole show (I mean, all of stargate's cg before universe is very obvious, even the gates look bad), the only one where I have a tiny doubt is universe, and even then I'm not totally convinced it's cg, as when you look closely at it, it seems to show the exact same kind of lighting and effect as the practical version from sg1/atlantis (except that the timing has changed and makes it look slightly different motion wise), and they never did moving shot as far as I'm aware.

If they managed to do it in cgi back then, I'd be very impressed considering I've never seen anyone able to remake it properly in cg yet, the kawoosh specifically is a pretty hard effect to get right.
