HBAO+ Compatibility Flags Thread

HF:BM with HBAO + Reshade + SMAA + AdaptiveSharpen

 

How does it look when underwater or through things like fog and glass?

You can just try enhancing the in game MSAA too with a Hybrid Sampling mode. (Unless the OGSSAA modes break MMOD like BM does).

 

Hello, guys!
Please help me, which flag of ambient occlusion is better (or optimal) to use for RE Revelations 2?

 

Try them all yourself pretty much. But also, I don't think you can disable the in game SSAO without losing other effects or lowering shadow map quality IIRC. So not much point. The AO in that game isn't completely terrible.

 

Hmm, did I understand correctly that REV2 already has SSAO?
Perhaps I'll ask a stupid question, but the native SSAO works regardless of whether I enable the ambient occlusion in Nvidia Inspector?

 

Yeah, though I think it may disable the in game SSAO if you set shadows to Low or Medium. I can't remember.
You could hypothetically find a flag for HBAO+ but you would have to also have to have Shadows set to whatever setting it is that disables it. (It may also be setting post processing lower.)

 

Is possible to apply VXAO flags? Presumably no, but I didn't find an answer in this topic.

 

Nope sorry.

 

Mind posting what flag this is so I can add it then?

 

0x00000008

 

anyone know of any unreal engine 4 flags? tried most of the ones from these threads and the doc. trying to get it to work in the valorant beta, currently the versions they are running on are ue4.22/ue4.23

 

there is a FLag for pes 2020?

 

If I understand "bleeding" correctly, ambient occlusion is heavily visible through volumetric effects in Vice City. Explosions especially look quite different.

 

Yes this is exactly it. Things like Fog, smoke, volumetric lights, transparent surfaces like glass,etc.
To be fair even some game's own native implementation has this to some degree but not as egregious as the worst here.

 

Correction: the AO doesn't appear to bleed through explosions after all, the car body just is more visible as the explosion starts to fade.





The player model and vehicles are likely much more visible against the sunshine however, I'll reply with more descriptive screens soon.



EDIT: I'll take this back, ambient occlusion isn't captured in screenshots at all, it seems. I use MSI Afterburner with RTSS, the first two screenshots are captured from an OSB recording.

 

The GTA SA bleeding fix isn't constructive, this is a pack of outdated mods most of which likely aren't even related to each other. I suggest removal.

 

Does Bully: Scholarship Edition have any functional flags? The game also doesn't have a profile in the Nvidia inspector and the Fallout 3 flag from here doesn't work for me.

 

You have to use HLS profile to apply them. Dunno why, but that's how it is.

 

That bleeding looks pretty minor TBH compared to a lot i've seen.

 

Is there a solution for an AO flag not working at non-16:9 aspect ratios? For example, the listed HBAO+ flag for Sands of Time isn't working for me at 21:9 (on a tangential note, the AA flag didn't work either, but it did once I made it 0x00400041).
