Damn Origins is a beautiful looking game, especially the animal models. Can't wait to play it.

Seriously talented guys here. My screenshots come out blurry - not crisp like yours.
Also not as detailed... 4K, Ultra (with AA set to low) - 50fps.

I assume you mean AC: Origins. Even with the in-game AA set to low, you're going to get a blurry image. I'm not using in-game AA at all for my shots. Just SMAA from ReShade. No sharpening added, but downsampling via lanczos2 in FastStone does give a slightly sharper result.

Aaah so you disable AA in game and just use Reshade to handle stuff? Any performance hit? Sorry to take this off-topic - would love to get some excellent photos on here too :D

If you're just using SMAA, there is a small performance impact. But it should be in line with other post processing AA methods such as the one used in-game.

downsampling via lanczos2 in FastStone does give a slightly sharper result.

Speaking of Faststone resample, is there any acceptable or optimal percentage for reduction?

I usually resample shot to my native res 2560x1080 (or around 1080p for other ratios) but that's too much reduction, I guess, because on some games it resulted in visible banding (especially if it was done with Lanczos 2 and the original shot was something large like 6K or 8K), but I don't know at what percentage or which algorithm to use to avoid artifacts.

Hmmmm is it better to start a new thread about how to set up / discuss screenshottings / reshading etc ?

Finally reached Alexandria in AC Origins. Felt a bit overwhelmed by all the things to see there

Well.... fuck. There it is.

Was it all that difficult?
It was harder than you'd think. Main problem I ran into was assuming tod would progress evenly, but as soon as you move the character around, the moon/sun stop moving, likely an optimization thing (why update the world shadows when the camera moves anyway). So scanning with 'increased value' then would fail. Luckily in photomode it does stop, so you can then scan increased value followed by unchanged value which gives a small-ish set. Still thousands of values. So then I guessed it likely is stored in protected memory close to the exe (green pages in CE). First hit->bingo :) Had a problem with freezing floats in CE tho, but as a float represented by 4 bytes increases in 4 bytes hex as well, you could simply freeze the 4byte value which did work :)

The crucial bit I forgot yesterday when I tried to find it was the stop of ToD progression when the character/camera moves.

Also tried again with timestop, this time float but no dice...

Yeah, what I'd do is wait a while. Then I'd open the main menu for the game. That would freeze time so I could do an increased scan followed by a bunch of unchanged scans (to weed out values that just randomly change for no reason).

I'd test the remaining address by bulk selecting and just changing them to another value. If that worked (time would change), I'd highlight those addresses in another color and start narrowing them down by selecting a few at a time.

But yeah, looks like you got there. RIP my character's progression...

Spear of Destiny via ECWolf (or was it Wolf3D? kinda hard to tell which one is which)

Hey Otis. The new update seems to have broken some things. Your FOV control no longer works and your freecam doesn't work during photo mode.

Anyways, here's a screenshot from Assassin's Creed: Destiny.
