Silent Hill 2 Remake v0.7.0-pre9 Frame Generation worked but game freezed

Open barlowhaydnb opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

Silent Hill 2 Remake released today without offical frame generation function. I'm using RTX 3080. So I tried v0.7.0-pre9, and followed the instructions and sucessfully enabled FG, it really worked, everything went super smooth. But the game freezed very soon, and it was unable to return to normal, so I had to terminate the process. I wish this tool support SH2 soon, best wishes!

If you have enabled Async, try without it please. I don't have the game so couldn't check now. Meanwhile I will ask fellow guys at Discord for their experience.

First I only enabled Frame generation, then I tried enabling Async / Disabling RCAS, all of these attempts freezed the game. I tried E5 2690V3+RTX 3080 DESKTOP & 12800HX+4070 LAPTOP, both of them have this freezing issue. Yes, this tool really is a life saver, please ask folks on discord.

And I have a double image, what could it be?

Is OptiScaler adding DLSS FG from nothing (if so, how?), or relying on the game's native FSR 3 FG implementation (which is currently not officially exposed)?

Did you do anything different?, I installed and got the in-game overlay but absolutely nothing changed, no FG, sharpening makes no difference, the presets don't work, only different thing I noticed was Ultra Quality available

Hi , i getting huge stutter when using fg In sh2 remake but when i lock my fps to 60 fps with rtss all stutters gone completely. But its feel more like 30 and I don't know why, but my real issue is when i alt-tab my game completely stuck and im force to end task in task manager. Is any fix for that?

My game is also almost unplayable with OptiScaler Frame Gen. As soon as I enable, my GPU usage jumps from ~97% to straight 100% and then the game just freezes.

Turn down some settings or lower resolution / lower upscaler quality. This game has horrible input delay, especially for any frame gen I've tried yet. Maybe they can improve this with patches but I am doubtful much will change... I unfortunately can't try DLSS frame gen though, as I only have a 3060 but from what I hear it's just about as bad or similar to FSR3 but perhaps not. I would hope the character ghosting / tearing is better though with DLSS FG as even in Alan Wake II I could never completely get rid of the character tearing / flickering on the left corner when moving side to side while aiming down the sites faster you'll see it and then never un-see it.

As far as freezing and what I personally encountered while trying to use OptiScaler with this game was having RTSS and MSI opened when launching the game. First of all close all OSD programs, as this is why my game just insta-crashed and wouldn't even launch. As far as getting in -game and opening the menu but then it freezes when you click on frame gen then well that might be a different issue there. I do know if you don't have an Nvidia card I think you may need to try to use the Registry trick to fix it "EnableSignatureOverride.reg" should be included with OptiScaler files if all else fails. You can undo this registry change as there a second file with "DisableSignatureOverride.reg" then if necessary.

Also there's this part you can read about a workaround for enabling DLSS if you don't seem to be able to in-game. Spoofing.md

Hi,

Just uploaded pre21, you guys might wanna try this build.

Also please don't forget FG is sensitive to VRAM, if you have stutters etc please try reducing Texture & Shadow quality to check if stutters goes away. Then step by step increase them again to find a sweet spot.

I tried pre22, but it's the same. I even turned dlss mode to "performance" , preset to "low" , resolution to 1080P in order to reduce vram usage, but the freezing remained the same. The fps indeed increased a lot because scenes like this in the video used to gave me only 40-50 fps but after OptiScaler I felt much smoother. Maybe it's because of the game itself causing freezing? https://imgur.com/a/5uS8HiR https://imgur.com/a/1RnjpPv

Hi,

Haven't played game but heard it has bad traversal stutters. Easiest way to check is playing with Opti 0.6.x a bit. If stutters happens at there too then it's a game issue for sure.

It does the same with Uniscaler so the problem is not necessary caused by this mod. On the other hand it works with Puredark's dlssg mod+dlss to fsr 3 mod which in my experience isn't as good as this one.

It seems I've managed to fix the freezing/lag spikes by installing an older Nvidia driver. Currently running version 560.70 from July. I am almost sure that you can fix it by using any other driver version. (Using v0.7.0-pre23)

I installed 560.70 and the game really didn't sutter/freeze anymore, but it crashed very soon. I think I'm giving up on this.

It is crashing for me too sadly. I will try other driver versions today. But it's still good to know that it's related to the issue. I will let you know if any version works.
