2015 PC Screenshot Thread of the Only Place Where Compression Isn't

Couldn't decide which version I preferred more.

I prefer the first one, brings up the atmosphere better imo. I never got around to taking screens in Isolation because of the horrid banding. It's everywhere. The game has probably the worst banding I've ever seen, such a shame since it's otherwise a very good looker.
 
I have an issue with F3 where I can't toggle timestop on/off. F1/F2/F4 all work fine. I'm going to add Jim on Steam.

I won't be on until later tonight (probably about 8 hours from now). But I'll try and help you out then if I can. Just let me know what version of the game you have and which patch is installed.

I hear people are sick of seeing this tree, so I'm posting another shot of it =)

This one's meh. Looked better to me in-game.

Indeed. It's horrific, and while you can mask it with grain, I don't actually like seeing any in A:I for some reason. By the way, beautiful shots, Jim.

Thanks mate. I'll do that. I also want to thank you for your cheat engine not just for giving us the freedom to take shots at any angle but the freedom to explore areas which we otherwise may have not gotten a chance to do within the actual game.

I've finished messing around with my preset and I ended up with this one. In the end I didn't want to desaturate it too much because the game has a nice color palette.

It was very windy down here and the lighting coming through the trees and changing ever so slightly was just magical.

The Witcher 3 with Reshade+Framework

What is framework?

I really like the altered tone of the colors here, but it looks as if there is something like a 25% opacity black layer just overlayed on top. I feel it could look a lot nicer if it was brightened up, but the tone kept the same.

These shots are amazing.

I'm looking forward to playing the game with this graphical fidelity in a few years. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this immensely right now, but playing in 4K at 60 fps with every .ini value cranked up to the max will be glorious.

Framework combines SweetFx, GemFX, MasterEffect, and some other common shaders into a single package. You can edit all the config files separately. It's kind of a mess to keep track of all those files, but there is a LOT to tweak.

Pretty bad choice of names if they were going for easy to find on google! Going to look for it now.

Thanks, I've added you on Steam, my version is GOG PC DVD, 1.3

I did try assigning it to F6 but it didn't fix the issue.

If it's just a matter of reassigning the script to another button that eventually works:

1. Highlight/click on the "PauseGame[F3]" script.
2. Press control + H
3. Click on the hotkey entry " F3 enable script"
4. Press on the "Edit Hotkey" button
5. Press the "Clear" button.
6. Chose another button of your choice.
7. Press Ok and try it out, if it works , save the table again so you wont have to do that next time. If not, try yet another button or it isn't a problem of the hotkey itself.

Not sure what to tell you. I just press F3 and the game pauses. I press F3 again and it unpauses.

I can try and create a different setup with 2 separate hotkeys. If you want, add me on Steam and I can work with you.

This worked for me thanks. I changed it to F6. Now if only there was a way to assign my xbox one gamepad for camera movement as in Shadow of Mordor, except that had a built in photo mode ported from consoles.

Pretty sure you can assign hotkeys using a controller if you use XPadder. Not sure how it works. I've never done it myself. I'm pretty much used to the jankiness of a keyboard :)

Tested a portrait resolution in this game. I think 3900x5200 is the highest I can go without shit starting to catch on fire....

Thanks, but i've tried increasing brightness in the dungeons of the game, its just that once out in the open http://abload.de/img/darksiders22015-05-22rwu30.png it looks like a bomb went off.

Darksiders 2 has a habit of changing colors / levels. For instance, you would pass an invisible line and contrast would bump up.
 
Bring on the flames, but as good as The Witcher 3 looks, the image quality and general beauty in it's screenshots don't compare to what some of you guys provided with Shadow of Mordor.

Anyway, something different...

Ah yikes yeah I see what you mean. Reminds me of Dark Souls, where crossing some invisible threshold would cause a huge shift in color tones.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. I'll give it a shot. It just makes it a lot faster and smoother to navigate around. Plus I can get a better perspective of things by sitting further away from my monitor :)
 
Jim, quick question. Did they change something that broke the Cheat Engine Freecam table you released?

It was working perfectly before, but now when I try it it doesn't work and just crashes TW3 when I try to pause specifically.

I can't think of anything I've changed, but I'm pretty sure it's something on my end. Any suggestions of possible causes?

Sadly the game is completely unplayable for me right now until they fix the inventory crash....

Isn't that crash caused by using the in-game framelimit? I turned that off and haven't crashed since, Using Durante's method for now and it's been smooth sailing. Only crashing is from Windows 10.

If it's specifically the pause button that's crashing it, try reassigning it as per the post below. F6 worked for me.

Definitely the first one pal imo.

Been tweaking my reshade for the last 3 hours. bloody exhausting I tell ya. Doesn't help that my video card fans are spinning at 100% so it's like a sauna in here :-s
So yeah trying to get it like the 2013 trailer in terms of color and lighting. Will post some green shots in a while. Here's a terrible composition of Geralt doing this best to scare Epona. I mean Roach..:-D

There are still plenty of people get get the crashes with the frame limiter at 0. I also closed afterburner and reset my video card to the defaults. Disabled my 2nd monitor. Still crashes when I open my fucking inventory.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, but no, sadly it still crashes. Just to be clear, I'm not able to use any aspect of the CE table. Not the freecam not TOD or FOV either.

I've tried uninstalling and redownloading CE and Jim's table, and nada... tried multiple resolutions, disabling my other monitors, restarting my PC.

It finally stopped crashing for me. While I was goofing around, I'd somehow reset my fan profile which was causing my temperatures to max. Now I'm back to running the fan in aggressive mode and I haven't had a crash in 4 hours.

A friend of mine is having the exact same issue. Apparently selecting 'Prefer Maximum Performance' under Power management mode and uninstalling experience has worked for a few Nvidia users.

I love the details on these creatures. The Witcher 3 with Reshade+Framework

Running at a weird ass 1323p DSR resolution. Still playing with settings that I like, hopefully someone will figure out how to reduce the distance fog soon. Think I'm going to go back to FXAA, SMAA just isn't doing it for me.
