Topic-Free Mega Thread - v 1.11.2020

[JonasBeckman]

Thought Windows 10 was updated a few builds back in regards to tearing so the VSync state isn’t enforced anymore.

Interesting that it’s branched from the newer Anvil Engine code but went back to D3D11 too, would imagine it’s still beneficial to have Vulkan (Ghost Recon Breakpoint) or D3D12 (Valhalla) support even if for legacy support and DirectX 12 it could have had both.

Seeing how it’s similar code I wonder if disabling the game limiter and using SpecialK wouldn’t be more effective but it sounds like it might not be entirely perfect if some of the settings aren’t applying.

I’m on a 64-bit .dll from November 27th from…somewhere.
Might not matter too much though long as it’s the D3D12 topic SpecialK files or the newer Valhalla ones around late November in terms of compatibility and the newer features.
(Anti debug this or that for support and not crashing in particular and then these HDR additions and such after that’s resolved.)

EDIT: Not the Control one so lets see where was that from again.
That’s these two builds.

D3D12 Missing Features

Good to know. It’s a problem with the entire D3D12 runtime then. I don’t think this is a very common scenario (turning predication off when it was already off), but it could create some weird results if this doesn’t get fixed. Updated build with better AC Valhalla support SpecialK64.7z (7.6 MB) Drawing at arbitrary framerates should now be possible without SK’s overlay flickering. I also found and fixed a few deadlock issues in Serious Sam 4. Performance overhead is lower too.

D3D12 Missing Features

Control DXR + HDR I know I said I was avoiding ugly game-specific compat. hacks in the new D3D12 codebase, but so many people have been requesting Control + D3D12 + DXR ++ HDR support that I had to add one. Control HDR (D3D12 + DXR) Compatible Build        SpecialK64.7z (7.6 MB) The problem with opening the game’s menu after a save has been loaded is ‘fixed’. Technically the framebuffer should be copied and displayed behind the menu, but that was crashing because the texture the game’s tr…

EDIT: That one.
It’s just a bit newer though so probably nothing too critical.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

I said something insensitive about cows, apparently. I kid you not. There was a discussion about milk alternatives. Who the hell knows what’s up with ResetEra, weirdest forum I’ve ever see. Use this version, it’s been verified to work together with ReShade, Ansel, RTSS, the Steam Overlay and Discord: dxgi.7z (7.6 MB) I believe I am approaching near release-quality D3D12 support, but it may be another week or so of nightly updates before things settle down.

EDIT: Yeah this is also basically keeping track of (Best as I can.) some of these newer builds plus for troubleshooting being able to find and test older versions if needed.

Just have to also treat these as WIP’s and not actual release candidates until 0.11.1.0 is actually out but it’s been working really well so far although I am missing HDR functionality so I can’t test one of the bigger bits that are getting overhauled here.
