---Edited--- I have a temporary fix to ATI card issues with poor in game framerates. Please try installing this Mod, it removes some shaders that eat up ATI GPU power at the moment. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-performance-booster-v2.53233/ Also install this mod!! This mod fixes some UI bottle necking and helps improve framerates! https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-slowbars-54357.50349/#post-772764 ENJOY And remember if you use these shaders you will need to have HDR, and FXAA off in game or you will get a black screen
if you test this and want the original files back just press verify files in the uber launcher and it will redownload the original files in steam use Steams verify game files to restore the originals.
Without prelight shaders features like trees, stones and metal spots won't work. Obviously it's will improve framerate. But there already "--nofeatures" flag for this.
they still load on my game they in my screenshots in Framerate Thread my pc always fail to load those shaders in zip file. only time trees and rocks dont show is in system editor, in game they all there and game runs fine
less doubt and more try .. LOL hahahaha. Your good person for feedback , i know you not a troll shadows look ugly maybe, but work fine. i only want this as temp fix for those ATI issues in last thread i asked for your help in. look at screenshots posted here, this is with these shaders in zip file https://forums.uberent.com/threads/how-to-improve-frame-rates-all-video-cards.53165/ is game meant to look like that , do shadows look ok , can you see metal spots ?
I'll try them when I have a bit more time, might be in about a hour. But I'm still doubt there is any shaders don't affect visuals and still affect performance, especially post_luminance.fs and post_fxaa.fs.
thank-you sxx , i know you will give good info on how they work and if any graphics missing, (im sure if they not missing for me they will work same on any chipset) im also sure the ones that are changed in zip file only post effects , so nothing should be missing, even the prelight batch shaders don't have much graphical effect , only when used with other shaders like HDR and luminance which for me both always fail.
You actually can play with Intel Graphics Performance Analyzers. It's really nice tool but I'm not tried it for PA yet. prelight shaders was here before HDR was in game. As I said they work in editor for features. I'm not 100% sure how they're work in game and I'll try to find out.
Prelight shaders are part of the base deferred rendering system. They don't actually have anything to do with the HDR, apart from the HDR and LDR both using the same deferred render buffers. They're called "prelight" because they get used before the scene is lit in the deferred lighting system.
its amazing how my game runs fine without these prelight and post effect shaders and my game looks FINE. oh well i tried to help. what else can i do...
PA log file attached, I just re-downloaded the original Shaders, i then ran the game. Look in the log file,, Hey wow, the Prelight shaders are failing,, They always have, and if no-one listens to me , they probably always will fail. Here's screenshots of how my game looks when i play it WITH THE FAILING SHADERS. ................................... Now from my point of view!! My intel GPU is not as powerful as an ATI HD 6850. my chipset fails to load 6 shaders, the ati card loads them ALL. My game runs fine, ATI cards under windows run like CRAP, anybody other than me see a pattern there ?????? So in theory if we stop ATI cards that are having issues from using those 6 shaders MAYBE their game will run just as good as it does on a LOWER POWERD GPU. enough said i'm over the topic ,, i have put my effort in to narrow down the issue with ATI cards, if you don't want help then oh well not my loss, I hope this helps anyone with an ATI card who does want to try it. The first post has the Fixed Shaders in a zip Shaders.zip, To use them follow the instructions in the first post.
First post has a zip file with some shader files replace the ones in the PA install dir i have better explanation in first post on the thread
Oh and press ctrl-p in game after you replace the shaders an tell me if the frame rate has improved any, mine jumps up and down from 30fps - 15fps so you should get that or better. let me know. i play the game with my desktop @ 1280x720, your desktop resolution will impact performance too, so please let me know what resolution your desktop is using too.
