RadeonPro BETA (Automating 3D Settings)

When i use alt-tab the game stays in fullscreen,but i can't walk/play the game ,only see around with the mouse.

In the background it does goes to windows but can't see it because farcry 3 is in fullscreen. Windows+tab doesn't work also.

The game doesn't crash.

 

I'm not sure how it works in Avisynth either but from what I could read about the Dither tools for Avisynth , then I think it will work in a similar way.

SweetFX recieves an 8-bit image from the game, does all it's calculations in single precision (32-bit) and then returns a 32-bit image which is rounded off to 8-bit before being presented.

The problem is that if you expand 8-bit to 32-bit you still only have 8-bit of precision from the original value, and so I'll have to detect what is and what isn't banding and then smooth out the bands while keeping everything else untouched.

I plan to do this by detecting the contrast difference between a pixel and it surroundings (I'll probably implement it into LumaSharpen since it already does this) and if that diffence is very small then instead of sharpening it, I shall blur it instead.

I just got Dead Space 2 for my birthday - I'll look into it.

 

Which AA? Post processing AA? Did you tested by taking screenshots with and without post processing AA and the screenshots don't have it applied?

BTW, for downsampling you can't do anything, the beautiful image with no aliasing you see in front of your eyes is just in your mind :nerd:

But ALT+TAB works without RP running?

 

Yes, without it ,it works.

 

Hi japamd, is there anyway to fix the problem with xbox360 controller emulator?
Radeonpro profiles stop working with it.

 

ALT+TAB twice, that would bring Uplay to foreground and taskbar will be visible. Some DX10+ games switch to windowed mode when you alt+tab or the game window loses focus, might work on Far cry 3 too.

No, I don't know what that emulator does to break RP.

 

Thanks, wil test it.

Edit
Twice won't work either.

 

(alt+tab)+far cry 3 working flawlessly here... it's not a real bug...maybe an application conflict of the background or high OC

but japamd, i can't take an oath that fxaa really works on fc3...mlaa surely does though, it blurs everything as always...haha...

 

Anything on an update japamd? I'm just wondering... since I've been looking forward to the Windows 8 DX10/11 fix.

I know you've been busy though.

 

I tried to disable every application with automatic startup on my PC, restarted, launched Steam and Radeon Pro and nothing else: no luck.

Hard reset goes to black screen without opening cinematic and i should CTRL+ALT+CANC to goes back to desktop.

Torchlight 2 launch the splash screen where it loads the various stuffs and before switching to full screen appear the crash report.

There is something else i could provide to help with my issue?

 

do those games work without RP loaded?

create a profile for those games, and disable the api monitoring

 

Yes, without RP they work flawless.

Correct me if i'm wrong but disabling API monitoring isn't the same thing as having RP closed?

BTW: crash log from Hard Reset

Thanks.
@Downloadspeed - it's all relative bro. I did not mean it in an arrogant way.



And guys - can you PLEASE PUT YOUR REALLY HUGE SCREENSHOTS into THUMBNAILS or just simple LINKS???

The amount of time I spend scrolling through a site just to see a post and I got my browser on fullscreen with 1920*1080 resolution...

So please do us all a favor and post huge screenshots as a small link such as this?

Thank you.

 

Japamd take a look at these screenshots

the first is with post process AA ON (FXAA and SMAA) the second is without anything, as u can see: no difference

well, yes, but it will tell us wether is a problem with RP/other TSR, or just the profiles.

 

You can try other games to see if you get RP working.

I know, just telling ya my internet connection sucks

Sorry, I was wrong. Only DX9 is keeping post processing regardless RP settings, I just had a look into the code and for DXGI games (DX10 and above), you must have the option "Keep overlay information in screenshots" set, otherwise screenshots will be grabbed before post processing application.

See this, item 7: http://www.radeonpro.info/en-US/Manual/46/Settings-Screenshots

 

so I was reason, infact there was too much aliasing in those screenshots as you can see, ok i'll switch that option on, thanks.

is there any chance to correct this issue with the next update?

 

Well, it's not a bug, for DXGI it must work that way so maybe I need to adjust DX9 code path and have that option controlling the post processing capture in screenshots.

 

i'm trying to use sweetfx through RP with a game, but it's not working. If i install SFX in the usual manor (the game dir) it works, just not through the radeon pro method. Any ideas?

 

Which game? Other OSD features are working? Did you tested other games to see if SweetFX gets applied on them?
