SkyGfx: PS2, Xbox and Mobile graphics for PC

Can i disable PS2 grass in skygfx.ini?

Yes, but why?

 

Because my performance with that grass is too low :C

 

Do you have backfaceCull=1? That is biggest performance impact if I'm not wrong.

[The Hero]

Any chance you could look into the lagginess issue? It sucks to play at 60+ fps and it feels like 15 fps.

Have you played with the settings? Try fiddling with color filter, radiosity and see if it makes a difference (e.g. playing without downsampled VCS trails kills performance).

1.8b seems to have broken a couple of things, disabling horizon clouds wasn't disabling them, and using ps2 seabed.ipl would disable the ps2 postfx and default it to PC, so I switched back to 1.8a and all is working again. Also hotkeys sometimes stopped working. F10 works fine but F11 disables it completely until game restart.

 

Also going back to 1.8a gives me this shadow bug

 

 

 

 

EDIT: I fixed the seabed.ipl issue, I redownloaded it from the PS2 features thread instead of the original source link and now it works.. Weird. Hot keys still don't work properly, if at all for some reason

Snoops bug master race.

[The Hero]

Well, 1.8a had that shadow bug, even if I still don't know how to trigger it. I had a hotkey problem as well some time ago but now it's working again o_O. If the problem persists, contact me on irc, gtalk, icq or skype and we'll debug it.

It's not the FPS itself that's the issue. I constantly get 60+ fps, and I checked this, but the game's controls feel laggy. Looking around etc, moving.

Hi,

 

I can't Understand how to install it. Please help?

Hi,

Simple , just make sure you have silent's asi loader installed , and then drag and drop the contents of the SkyGfx .zip file you just downloaded to SA directory.

[Vibhor]

Will it work if I have CLEO Installed. Should I replace the Silent's dll file with the CLEO dll files.

[Claude_Lib]

CLEO uses Silent's ASI Lader by default anyway. You can even check their hashsums.

Is there a way to use ps2 seabed without reducing the draw distance or the seabed is just for the draw distance?

[The Hero]

Seabed is just for draw distance. The sun's size depends on the draw distance so if you want to large PS2 sun you have to decrease draw distance.

No, it's 0.

[Makaveli_In_This]

Hey I have a small proplem with refps2.asi. I have Enb Series by Vorontsov and when I implement your asi and turn on PS2 ref channel, nothing happen, but when click to times, apear only PC ref. Where the env ref than?

Edited April 16, 2015 by denis1379

[CML99]

I have Enb Series

^this

[MrMateczko]

ENBSeries overrides most of SkyGfx settings, I've tried both before. Not a great combo.

[denis1379]

can I turn off enb, what files include it to work?

How to reduce blur?

[Claude_Lib]

Since you do have blur, I assume you did look into skygfx.ini file, because it's not enabled by default, yet you didn't bother looking several lines lower, where "trailsIntensity" line is. Use it. Sorry for aggressive tone, I had a hard day.

Edited April 17, 2015 by Claude Liberty

[The Hero]

There are a number of things that add "blur", we just don't know what he means...

[inadequate]

Hero, you are still working on restore the smoke in the club?

[The Hero]

Not at the moment. I don't really know how it should be and now that the semester started again I no longer have so much time. If someone finds me CPointLights::RenderFogEffect() in the SA PS2 elf, I could try and figure it out. I also noticed that the PS2 elfs are seriously f*cked, the section information doesn't make much sense. Of course I could try implementing the VC code first, but I'm not sure this is correct...rewriting the code will be painful in any case.

Is your PS2 ELF file that you're using this size?

Just so i know it will be the same in yours.

 

If so i'll take a look myself.

 

 

[The Hero]

Yeah, same ELF.

I believe it would be more.. "professional" to compare checksums

Well, if the file size, name and modification date are identical it's gonna be the same. As Rockstar mass-produced this game.
