>disable lumen
What does this mean? Isn't lumen the strength of light generation?
Wouldn't disabling lumen equate to killing all light sources?

So what does "disable lumen" mean because I'm assuming it's not that.

>>732251116
It’s the shitty real time illumination system in Unreal Engine 5

>>732250404
ALL UE5 games using Lumen do that. ALL of them.

>>732250404

There are many games that use lumen but don't call it lumen. He's not being "sneaky" he's just a retard huffing his own jenkum thinking he's a genius for doing the industry standard. People just figured out what lumen was on their own. In fact are there any UE5 games that just outright call it lumen and not just some form of lighting?

still think DLSS preset K is magic, dont care what anyone says

>i need muh raytracing for mood
This was made by 3 people without the speedup trick known as lumen, in UE4.
Safe to say the dev in OP is lazy as fuck.

Why not just use hardware raytracing?

>>732259694
Lumen is both, it has a hardware and software mode. The reason devs use it is because it's extremely easy and built into the engine. But it comes with bad Hardware performance, even worse Software performance, and absolutely wretched ghosting and lighting problems.

>>732256629

>>732250179
Lumen made me drop the first descendant and will most likely make me skip vindictus 2. The ghosting when moving the camera around is just too much especially in games where you move a lot.

Changing a few lumen cvars is not optimization. That's the entire unreal schtick btw. There's nothing to optimize because you fucks are allergic to touching any of the systems baked in the engine.

>>732266705
>makes his game look OBJECTIVELY better.
Why? The room is flooded with sodium lamps that give orange light? Why would the room be blue?

Lumen is one of the things that most degrades the final image quality. It's just not good for real-time stuff.
If you're making a movie and rendering frame by frame, it's great, you'll get realistic lighting quality and it's super fast compared to actually rendering everything with ray tracing, you'll probably need about 3 or 4 seconds per frame instead of 3 or 4 minutes... But this crap is no good for video games where you need a frame every 16 milliseconds.

Recently I upgraded to an rtx card from my 1050ti. The first game I tested the new gpu was Robocop rogue City, and holy fuck I loath this effect do much.

I literally never get this with full lumen. I did used to get it in Cyberpunk, it's much less with DLSS 4+ but still there. But I've never had this in a UE5 game that uses hardware ray tracing. I've only ever seen it with software lumen, which for some reason some devs want to force in their game without including a toggle for hardware acceleration, essentially throwing away free quality and/or performance.

If you're playing a game on Unreal Engine 5 you ought to be using Ultra Plus from Nexus mods. I install it as default for pretty much any UE5 game and I never see this at all, outside of a tiny selection of games with software-only Lumen like Expedition 33. Suggests to me this is not a problem innate to Lumen but rather it's based on developer implementation.

Forced ray tracing, that's all there is to it, and most probably M$ mandating the use of the latest DX version on their first party games, more or less like a tech demo or a way to justify its development.
At this point all games should ship with vulkan by default, the only operating systems that don't support it are macos and ios, there's literally no reason to develop the same exact thing 6 different times for every console and operating system's in-house graphics api.

Because the ecosystem of modern gaming depends on the consumer showing off their EPIC SICK GRAPHIX to their social media peers to encourage more interested buyers, and it actively harms the project if the consumer shows off a muddy, los-res image or video of their product. It’s why the Playstation not only has the retarded Share button on the controller for easy screenshot grabbing, but the game will then add MORE post processing effects and filters to the image to make it marketing quality. You WILL play the game as pretty as we can make it so Treyjamalebronda will get jealous and want to play too.

>handcrafted lightning is still superior even in goddamn movie production
Movies use real physical lights that interact with the scene and the moving objects and actors. To simulate real physical light you use ray tracing. Movies use techniques to control the lighting for specific effect of course, but no reason you can't do this with ray tracing.

>>732276012
>the only operating systems that don't support it are macos and ios
Apple has some smart engineers, they should figure it out honestly.

>>732251726
It's so dumb, I can understand that the game is more demanding than Remake because it's open world but even in towns or dungeons it just looks a bit worse than Remake

That's not DLSS blur. It's Lumen on underpowered cards. I've BTFO a guy who posts Oblivion remastered blue videos made on his povertybox.
DLSS blur is momentary and doesn't leave trails. Unless the framerate is really low or it's an old shitty preset like Dead Space Remake by default, you'd have trouble noticing it in gameplay. It will pollute screenshots, though.

why did they need lumen to make everyone not blue? I guess what I'm really asking is why is everything blue to begin with before lumen is added?

>>732281518
lighting in open worlds has always been vastly inferior to that in linear games. Lumen and ray tracing make it possible to achieve this quality of lighting in open worlds

>>732256629
I play WuWa with max RT as well as FG and never have ghosting this fucking bad.
Also this has nothing to do with Lumen at all considering the game runs on UE4.
Also also you CAN use .ini commands to tighten up the overexposure on RT or enable RR.
