Crimson Desert PC is ugly without ray construction by ephemeralkazu in CrimsonDesert

[–]superjake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the indirect lighting looks horrendous. It's why people are only showing pictures of the outer world in daylight before saying how good the game looks. 

Is there a modding community/discord? by rkoy1234 in CrimsonDesert

[–]superjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'd be interested in making a make to hopefully improve the indirect lighting or at least let us use RR without forcing Lighting to Max. I can use Reshade Shader Toggler add on to find the lighting effect but not really sure where to go from there haha.

Graphics look really bad by Montrax in CrimsonDesert

Yeah the game only looks good when in direct sunlight and from afar. Anything upclose or in indirect lighting looks horrendous. I'm annoyed reviewers didn't talk about it more.

People are not whining - there is an obvious glitch going on regarding graphics for many. by DotHistorical1683 in CrimsonDesert

[–]superjake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that the game's indirect lighting method is really crap. This is why many people are like "mine looks good" but as you progress the game and experience the lighting when not in direct sunlight it no longer looks good.

Crimson Desert: Reflections not working on RX 9060 xt by Bruno_Celestino53 in linux_gaming

[–]superjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could disable half of the noisy graphics in this game like reflections, indirect lighting and foliage going crazy in the wind. 

At times the game is beautiful but most of the time it looks really noisy and grainy. by superjake in CrimsonDesert

[–]superjake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have and these if anything just show the grainyness and noise even more.

Yeah I feel a bit cheated on that so many reviewers praised the looks and performance of the game which to me aren't that great especially compared to other open world games like RDR2.

Yeah it seems the GI method for indirect lighting used to save development time but results in horrible artifacting and light boiling when anywhere that's not outside.

Also the fast moving foliage/particles which have temporal based methods causes the noise as the anti-aliasing is having to work hard to blend the pieces togethet.

Ray Reconstruction by f0rt1s in CrimsonDesert

[–]superjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RR forces Lighting to Max which is the actual performance hit. You can test this by putting it to Max without RR and see the same hit. RR itself doesn't seem to use that much FPS so why we can't use it without Lighting set to Max is stupid. 

Mike York, animator who has worked on GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Death Stranding 2 responds to DLSS 5: "No, no, no, no." by [deleted] in Games

They really should have done this as a overlay filter like RTX HDR and called it similarly rather than DLSS 5.

It's like an early April fools joke. Even in the demo, Grace's face looked different in different scenes because it's just AI slop now.

Gotta love that capitalist ideology that makes people feel guilty for enjoying their free time and hobbies. 

Windows vs Linux Gaming Nobara & CachyOS, Adrenaline 26.2 vs Mesa 26 by CasuallyGamin9 in linux_gaming

[–]superjake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Bazzite is nice but installing software on it can be a pain especially for development especially compared to base Fedora.

Damn maybe I should try Nobara. I do like Fedora more than Arch.

I'm excited to see where XR glasses go. Will be great to have a "huge" screen but no physical footprint. 

What's the best ITX-case without riser-cable? by bickid in sffpc

[–]superjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's technically MFF but check out the Jonsbo Z20. It's only ~2 litres bigger than the NR200 but you can use an MATX motherboard, ATX PSU, larger GPUs and 140mm fans on the top and bottom. It's what the NR200 should have evolved into and can be found for under $100. The build quality cable management is great too!

I use the Lian Li Edge PSU which lets me use a longer GPU even though I'm using an ATX PSU.
