PC v1.x Developer Diary

[HeLLKnight]

Yep! I'm also using the DLSS mod with DLSS 4 override! It is far superior to TAA and FSR in performance and sharpness. The blurriness is completely gone with DLSS Quality and image is sharp as a tack. I'm also running Lossless Scaling 3.0 frame gen and even in downtown areas I'm averaging over 110 fps now. I used to struggle to maintain 35 fps downtown! The DLSS and Torch mods + DLSS 4 + Lossless Scaling framegen have given me absolutely massive performance and quality gains.

As for SSGI, yeah, I know it has its limitations. But I'll still take screenspace GI over no GI at all, when it's an option. 

Believe this man and try it yourself folks, I'm also using DLSS Mod+DLSS4 performance mode (in my case 4k upscaled from 1080p) and looks mindblowing, it's night and day compared with TAA or FSR. Torch mod is highly recommended while Lossless scaling feels for me unpolished compared with other frame gen solutions, but anyways better to have at least 60fps as a baseline in all of them.

Ok. Care to share a link to this fantastic mod?

Also you should add informative sub-clause, that it is for RTX cards. To avoid a Gtx or orther

card user, from attempting to install it and coming back here with the potential backlash of

what happened  to their game.

It's on Nexus Mods. Search for 7 Days Super Resolution (DLSS) by Laydor.

**And, as mentioned above, DLSS is an RTX-only feature. I assume most people know that, but 4sheetzngeegles is right about it being wise to mention it anyway.

Hey Fataal, could you please feed my cat? Also the fence in my garden needs some new paint! --- I am sure you can do that on the side if you don't get sidetracked by all the requests of GrandpaMinion

Has anyone else noticed that zombies can destroy blocks (if multiblocks?) without the downgrade stage?
Or is this normal now?

Yes, there is no downgrading of blocks now.  (Well, besides doors/windows but those are still the same material, so not really downgrading in the way you mean).

Curious. How is a Marketing and PR department that has absolutely nothing to do with development getting them sidetracked?

Stop being part of the problem man.

Normal, as it should be.

i personally feel the reason why 7D2D is taking longer is that they're expanding their staff thin; with the making of Blood Moon's or something.
I'm picturing in my mind that if all focused on hammering out 1 game at a time - putting resources to bug fixes, another to expansion / add-on's and group to bug-test the said things done above, that awesome results can occur ... just my thoughts. *shrugs*

Now that's just plain stupid. Devs have nothing to do with the store.

Blood Moons is being developed by Illogicka, not The Fun Pimps. TFP is only assisting them in an advisory role for supporting the engine, and any future engine changes that may be ported over.  Something that doesn't require more than two or three people doing part-time.

The other games being worked on are again done by a few people part-time when they do not have anything currently pressing in development for 7 Days. For the most part these are people working on art assets and other similar designs. Something that does not impact the development time or bug fixing for 7 Days.

TFP's dev staff is around 60+ developers, with teams assigned to different bits of development or bug fixing. Then you have the paid QA staff working on helping to sort bugs with additional assistance from volunteer internal testers.

So the picture in your mind might need to be updated.

Yes, for RTX 2000 series and newer cards only. It should definitely be made very clear.

Sorry, I can't. I will be busy for the next few weeks hand crafting YOUTOOZ of grass.

So far, I think it's great. My FPS seems more stable and stays higher in the busy towns.

@faatal Please have a look at this, if time permits of course (I know how busy you are).

@faatalDid I dream this or is 7 Days to Die suppose to have support for DirectX 12 at some point?

Thanks for the insight of your mind....i guess

Thanks for the link... but sadly my card is way below that kind of stuff with all the Rs and all the Ts and all those other Xs too.

if it took them 2 years to get 2.0 out that would be just fine by me, Fixn bugs and optomizing is way important than anything else..

Some of these bugs people been waiting 5+ years to get fixed i think you can wait for anything new.
