***The Official Dying Light 2 thread***

Edit: Looked at the above and I'm not seeing all of those differences you've listed.

It's not even the same angle for starters and there's clearly more light getting through on Paul's which is causing the extra brightness. Might be worth comparing exact settings in game.

Like I stated mismatch on FOV and resolution isn't going to get it a true 1 to 1 but my first image is very close.

If you do not see it then I am not sure what I am looking at because on my screen his image looks completely washed out and missing so much detail. It could very well be that his monitor or game settings are just not calibrated very well.

Definitely looks like some kind of gamma issue or different brightness settings.

Exactly.

Setting wise only he changed motion blur to off and fog to medium all mine is maxed without RT. None of the settings should affect the image in the way that's being shown here.

Next is monitor settings are not captured be software so if its anything its his in-game settings for brightness or Nvidia settings or AMD has better image quality "Joke by the way"

Shanks image is obviously better, but my point is the improvements that come from one image to another in Paul’s post from RT is from the shadows in the truck so that’s where one should be looking at and comparing no?

Nope, you are missing my original comment to Paul. I told him my game doesn't look that bad when looking at his RT off the image I was sure that I just played 13 hours and was like I am sure my game doesn't look that bad. He then replies and tells me to go and take a screenshot at the same time of day so I did and I wasn't wrong.

It's a known fact I will not get close to the RT quality inside the truck RT can not be matched here but the rest of his image is still affected and all my points still stand here.

Ah fair enough. The main issue still is his image has high brightness or maybe one can say white crush. Don’t think anyone’s looks that bad either unless they got gamma wrong. Maybe go up your gamma and see if you can replicate it

Had another little play today. It's alright. I prefer indoors too the outdoors.

And graphics are not bad. I was a bit harsh in my comments a few days back.

I just finished a mission and happened to find this spot at 10:36 so I waited to take the screenshot at 11:31 although I couldn't get you exact angle FOV or Res mismatch so I tuck two screenshots to showcase my game don't look like yours without RT. Mine is so much more detailed.

You can use this for side by side with dropdowns I forgot to rename the last two with your RT image vs my iamge without RT

Well got to be honest Shankly I see what you mean. There's a huge difference in quality between those screenshots and yours look significantly better than his. Something looks really off with Pauls colour tone mapping too, at least I am assuming that's what it is.

@shankly1985 would be helpful if you can fix the file names.

Not a RT expert by any means, but only difference that stands out from Paul's RT image to shanks is the sills (with flower box things) have better shadows underneath. The image looks better from shanks post overall and yes it could be something from Paul's setup which makes it look washed out.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Will be interesting to see a comparison once that's addressed. Shadows should not be missing in a like for like comparison.

Maybe you missed Shanks post, but RT has nothing to do with anything he is saying. He is comparing the non RT ones. If those images are from Paul's PC then there is something wrong with his setup.

@shankly1985 Where on the map is that place? I can go show you how mine looks both with and without RT.

 

[TNA]

Found the place last night by accident. It is near the main terminal. Tried out the different gamma settings and sure as **** it makes a HUGE difference.

I took two screenshots. On both settings are the exact same which is using DLSS Performance, so I could make it look better if I just turned off DLSS or went DLSS Quality, but wanted to just show what I am seeing. One is the gamma setting I use myself and the other is turning it way up to illustrate how it can have an impact on IQ.

Time of day and angle of picture I found makes a big difference to the image also. This was a quick screen grab I did not spend ages on. But now that I know the place I can take more shots another time if there is demand for it

Oh and I noticed Shanks has a different FOV also which would have a small impact on the way it looks.

What do you guys think, from what I can see my image quality looks better personally.

I get that, I was comparing Paul's RT image with shanks image as per

People who say RT is not noticeable need LASIK.

I can also see the difference between their non RT images.

Fair enough. So what’s your thoughts on the above then?

I heard this game is really buggy.

I will wait for the game to go on sale and for a few patches to be released on it

Well I have played probably 15-20 hours and only come across a couple of bugs which were nothing to write home about. I got it for £25.99 anyway which is kind like a sale price

Like I said, its identical to the FC6 thread. People thought it was ok, samey, not as good as previous x version, graphics not much better than previous version.. I had one crash in the few weeks I played it and thought the game was good. I would have been happy to pay under £30 for it too, however got it free with my now almost full SSD, so just like your summation - reflects what I could not understand a minority were slating that game for. Weird behaviour nonetheless! #justmyOrfepinion

As I recall people were slating it because it was as you say very samey, story was a letdown and because of the texture issues and the amount of vram it needed. But not sure what that has to do with my post above? I am asking your thoughts on post 633

Agreed, and you seem to have figured out what the issue was on Paul's side, as suspected.
