Shadow Filtering cleans things up and adds more depth. It's subtle, but does clean up the striping scene during the day.

Do you know how to make the settings stick in RE Framework? I have to reset them every time.Shadow Filtering cleans things up and adds more depth. It's subtle, but does clean up the striping scene during the day.

New mod that helps with the shadow dithering, it's considered a beta release but it looks better for me.
Enhanced Shadowfiltering
Enhances in-game shadow quality by modifying existing shadow filtering values. Simple toggle UI for custom settings, including 'Original' and 'Enhanced' filtering modes and adjustable shadow variancewww.nexusmods.com
You can use this mod that I added to nexusmods, it changes the values and adds a .lua file for customization. Although it is "beta" I haven't had any issues with it while playing for quite a while now. The default values I set are "2" for shadow filtering and "1.5" for shadowVariance or "smoothing", this is my preference as the shadow aliasing is more apparent when using the alternate shadow filtering with "high" shadow setting.
To have different values at startup you can edit the .lua file. I added some comments to the script so it should be pretty straightforward.
I've been using this mod since you released it, thank you! No issues here.
Considering this, are you getting any UI glitches or flickers?
Did they fix the UI issues it had? The framegen itself worked great, but the UI blurriness gave me headaches.
The UI / text still has some blurring issues. It's annoying, but the fps gain is substantial.
Do we know why sometimes randomly GPU usage shoots up to 99% and goes back down to like 50-60% within the next loaded area regardless of what its actually rendering?
or is this just a me thing? The only mod I really have installed infinite stamina outside of combat which shouldn't affect performance.

I got a weird VRAM experience playing yesterday. I went into a riftstone and noticed immediately the loss of FPS. I opened up Special K and saw that it was hitting my max VRAM (24 GB). Instead of settling down it continued to build up until SK reported more than 30 GB of VRAM usage and the game crashed. I've seen other people report this as well that there is something wild going on with the riftstones that makes the game explode.
Still assuming, but check my earlier posts.
The game has some sort of issue that's only really resolved by reloading it; either by passing over the zone again, or saving and loading.
Sad that the actual major issues have been left to fester for so long. It shouldn't take this long to get things fixed, but alas, overseas company trying to put patches out on every platform simultaneously (nevermind pushing it out to release in the first place). Terrible decisions at the helm.
Eh, it's ok open world and kind of crap in cities. They haven't released any performance patches yet although they said they would.
What are the recommended settings for performance? I'm playing with a 4090 at 4k dose and are using the enhanced rtx mod to avoid the grass artifacts.
Any other mods I should look into?

Quality Water - increases SSR resolution
Enhanced Shadowfiltering - changes the in-engine shadow filtering method to one that produces less dithering artifacts
Updating DLSS to 3.7 and forcing preset E via nvidia inspector or dlsstweaks (if using DLSS)
LukeFZ has a patreon only mod (in beta) that can swap FSR2 for DLSS and vice versa. Because this game has a bad DLSS implementation, you get a image quality improvement by picking FSR2 and using that mod to swap to DLSS. Makes a big difference on foliage. Probably not worth paying for just for this game though.
Self promo but if you use HDR, I made a reshade preset that fixes the black floor and makes some minor contrast/saturation adjustments.
Biggest performance win is dropping shadows from max to high, though they look noticeably worse.
Path tracing mod brehs

Needs work but that is cool to see.
Graphics Suite ALPHA Includes Path Tracing and RT Performance Boost
Tweak RT options. Path Tracing as well as a Huge RT Performance boost for normal RT mode available.

Looks like a pretty noticeable difference, though the grainy shadows stick out. What's the performance impact like?Damn PT looks so much better, I hope he can remove the denoiser. Shadows get a huge improvement. The shadow filtering visual flaw is all but removed with it.
Current RTGI
Path Tracing
Hot dang, Capcom cooking up a path tracer? The sins of their crap RT are forgiven once they implement this in games.Damn PT looks so much better, I hope he can remove the denoiser. Shadows get a huge improvement. The shadow filtering visual flaw is all but removed with it.

Definitely cool to see all these mods being made but the games performance doesn't leave anything left on the table really for them. Have Capcom even put out a single patch for this game addressing it?
Not yet. I kept putting off starting the game until a performance patch came and I am still waiting. I've been mostly reading instead (Cradle series and Dungeon Crawler Carl) and playing a bit of Fallout games again.
Folks in the OT were saying that it did, unfortunately (haven't verified myself).

Rad, thanks!
Just tried the path tracing mod and it really has a lot of potential. I hope modders can get it denoised properly, it'd be a big leap forwards for the graphical quality of the game. I wonder what Capcom is planning with this. Doubt it's just they're feeling like implementing high end PC features, maybe it's planned as a mode for PS5 Pro?
Very much doubt it's something for the ps5 pro, probably just experimenting with PT in RE Engine for future titles or as a future patch drop.
In the last few hours of the game and a PT mod drops. Damn
Might load it up for the finale i guess lol

A few comparison shots, the self shadowing is off the charts with PT on. Seriously looks like a generation ahead with it on.
Check the drop down menu, I added 3 comparison shots.

I don't see how the PS5 Pro will be able to do it without it running at 15 FPS.
I get around native 4k 30fps on my 4090 without upscaling. Bump that down to like 1080p upscaled at 30fps with low SPPs and maybe one bounce only, a PS5 Pro may be able to run it. I just don't see Capcom implementing anything specifially for the PC version looking at the quality of this port and the fact that previous titles just had the console RT feature set, and PS6 is a bit too far away to be doing R&D implementing working features like this in their game now.
The PT mod is pretty impressive. Hopefully they can get the denoiser to function correctly. As far as performance with PT on (using PurePT and 2 bounce) I go from 85+ fps to around 45 - 55 fps. Still playable framerate, but the noise keeps me from leaving it on. It's crazy to see what the community can accomplish.
With FG on I couldn't even tell if there was a significant drop on a 4090, it felt smooth enough that I didn't even bother turning on the steam fps counter.
I'm running a 3090 / 5950x combo. Without the frame gen mod, this would be a slide show. PureDark putting in work.
