It's okay, I only speak autismo once a month, it'll be gone in a few hours.

Good, good.

This is an English-speaking forum, Crispy & Theodora.

Don't you grok their powwow, I can capisce it just fine.

The gigs change / removing the map clutter is quietly one of their best changes tbh.

I still don't understand why they did it this way. I mean one of the best tips for TW3 was always to turn off POI in settings and this was repeated pretty much by everyone and yet they did something similar in C77.

And yes it changes massively how you play. Stuff happens naturally as you explore stuff on your own instead of zapping from poi to poi which is boring as fuck

I think whoever suggested this was also the one that told them to get rid of all those junk items lying everywhere. It really is the best change so far, shit isn't distracting you the same way it did before.

Did the DLSS API or ABI actually change? You can probably copy the relevant .dll from the newest version. It doesn't need any game-specific training.

this is the type of retard they designed the terrible loot system for

Watching him play Hitman 3 was painful enough, this is even worse.

Declutter WorldMap -deprecated by patch 1.5

Better Vehicle First Person is also not needed any more.

My mod list decreased from 42 to 9 (not counting the utils redscript and CyberEngine Tweaks). I fugured I don't need some things, or they don't make much difference, or were buggy.

Just got another update BTW. 10 GB on Steam.

Steam discussion is already giving a link to patch changes: https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/8232115/

It didn't, but equally it doesn't seem like the actual tech got any changes since the version included in Cyberpunk beyond specifics for other games.

What all were/are you running? I didn't even know there were forty compatible mods realistically worth using together.

Was also wondering about the new patch today.

It's enough to just look through my posts on the previous page 2 pages ago.

Haven't tested without it on this patch, but sure. What you want to do is download NVIDIA Profile Inspector, select 'Cyberpunk 2077', scroll down to 'Texture Filtering'; then make sure 'Negative LOD bias' is set to 'Allow', and set 'LOD Bias (DX)' to '-3.0000'. Should fix any blurriness caused by DLSS, though you probably also want to up the DLSS specific sharpening in the settings, and/or apply some post-processing with Reshade or NVIDIA Freestyle (their equivalent, accessible from the alt-Z menu).

Thanks for the info! I was just using sharpening and that negative LOD clamp, still blurrier than native resolution, obviously, but was okay.

For the record, since you use Redscript - does it need updating for every new build, like CET, or is it only certain patches that need it updated? I just caved and installed a Redscript-dependent mod and I've got a couple more I want.

I just saw it was updated on nexusmods and downloaded the update.

BTW, I don't understand how this game renders things, but I'm playing at 4K native and while driving, objects in the distance look as if I'm short-sighted and I don't wear my glasses.

Found this mod, can't tell if it has any effect by driving through the city: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/3631 Also shadow pop in is still looking terrible. This game only looks good at night time or indoors I'm afraid.

EDIT: Just ran through the same path again with the mod off. Definetly works. The thing seems to be that your choice is between everything looking awful, or only looking awful in the distance.

 

[Perkel]

Someone made a mod that enables combat while driving and adds police/gang chases.

Just got another update BTW. 10 GB on Steam.

62gb on gog.

On Steam you download 10 and then it uncompresses to 62 while it's installing.

Why does Cyberpunk look so shitty with any settings on any resolution? This distortion in the distance:

Is V drunk? Is his relic malfunctioning?

Do you use FSR ? Lower quality FSR like medium or performance really blows image quality.
You can also try switching off chromatic abberation.

Here are my screenshots playing at 4k on ultra. I still can't believe how good this game looks at times and it is not the Crysis looks nuts kind but more like combination of master art and tech:

I think I found out how they do motion vectors for DLSS. This is so simple that even I know how to implement it.

The motion vector is calculated by supplying the WVP matrix of the previous frame to the VS. We transform the local space position of each vertex using the current WVP and the previous one to clip space and pass both results to the FS. We get the interpolated clip space positions in the FS and transform them to NDC by dividing them by their respective W coordinate. This completes their projection to the screen so now we can substract the previous position from the current and get a motion vector. The motion vector is written out to a texture.

That's what I had left on, or rather to "Auto". Thanks!

Nigga I only have Gtx 1070 and my game looks like this photos taken today.

Was Perkel right, did turning FSR off fix the above? I get some blur from DLSS and I'm on a much lower resolution, but it usually looks fine, whereas the far field in your screencap looks like it was put through a Photoshop filter.

I do agree about the pop-in, though. I didn't notice it as much when the game was fresh, but now I see it all the time. Lights, shadows, LOD assets, it's all quite visible in range. Might try that draw distance mod, but I'm not sure I can accommodate a further performance hit.

An image to get your attention

Checking in. I see the game has been patched a lot, including another big update a few days ago.

Is this still a miserable, mediocre mess? Or has it reached the point of being worth playing? I wanted to like it and hope to play it someday when it becomes good, or even "good enough".

DLSS is known to be shit in C77. Try FSR instead.

It is mediocre and it will remain mediocre for reasons that cannot be patched, i.e. core design, but it's worth remembering that "mediocre" is a synonym for "average", not "shit on wheels." So as long as you go in expecting a regular AAA open-world popamoler, rather than the milestone opus years of marketing hyped up, you can have some good fun and you'll have it in a slightly more polished package than most of us did at launch.

I am using DLSS and it looks fine overall, was just curious whether FSR was the source of AwesomeButton's problem. Might give FSR a go out of curiosity, but it sounds strange that AMD's public algorithm would work better than nVidia's proprietary solution on their own hardware.

FSR was indeed causing issue for him but due to him using "auto" setting which wants game to run at 60fps and adjusts its setting to match 60fps first instead of quality.

DLSS in C77 is causing problems because sharpen pass after upscaling is apparently broken. At least this is what people claim. In theory DLSS should give couple frames more at same quality as FSR.
