Graphics

– Assist for Quad View Fastened Foveated Rendering for VR gadgets has been enabled!

– – Fastened Foveated Rendering (Quad View) is supported for racers with nVidia RTX 2000+ Sequence (or higher) GPUs and OpenXR headsets. Foveated rendering could also be quicker than SPS, particularly for prime decision VR shows. It renders every eye at a decrease decision, after which renders a higher-res inset in the course of every eye, such that the stereo picture has much less decision across the edges and extra decision within the center the place you’re looking. Foveated at present solely operates inside OpenXR.

– – Enabling this feature requires the Simulator to be restarted. To allow it, launch in OpenXR mode, and choose Foveated from the VR mode drop record within the graphics choices display screen, then exit the simulator. It’s going to then be enabled for the subsequent launch in OpenXR, if supported.

– – – There are two primary settings that will probably be added to your “rendererDX11OpenXR.ini” in your documentsiracing folder. Solely edit these values when the Sim just isn’t working, or they are going to be overwritten when the sim exits. Within the [openXR] part of that .ini file, “FoveatedOuterPctRes” specifies the decision to render the low res edges, 35% would imply 35% of width, and 35% of top, so it could render about 12% of the pixels usually rendered for the attention. The opposite setting is “FoveatedInsetWidthPct”. This specifies the scale of the hi-res inset, positioned immediately the place you’re looking (observe: eye monitoring just isn’t but enabled, so it’s “mounted” foveated). It is usually specified as a % of the width and top of the complete eye decision. A setting of 40% would imply to cowl a big a part of the attention’s view, however solely render to 16% of the pixels of the complete eye. So with these settings mixed, it could render 12% (background) + 16% (in inset)= 28%, so about 1/third of the pixels that it could have rendered in comparison with SPS. That discount helps cut back GPU fill charge utilization and body latency. Foveated doesn’t have an effect on CPU utilization a lot, as a result of it at present makes use of nVidia MVP to render all 4 views concurrently (just like SPS and triples), so it doesn’t improve any CPU bottlenecks because of drawPrim calls.

– A brand new alert warning has been added to point excessive CPU utilization, which signifies you is probably not maintaining in actual time, which causes multiplayer networking points.

– – This new alert seems within the community warning field and contains an icon of a CPU and color-coded textual content of the CPU utilization worth.

– – Cubemap processes have improved lighting and shadow era.

– Texture encoding has been up to date for barely improved high quality. A tiny adjustment to the brightness of many textures could also be perceptible.

Drying traces and tracks which are very slowly getting wetter will seem extra appropriate. This fixes a problem the place some unusual monitor floor roughness may very well be seen at low water quantities, and may very well be double-reflected within the specular map, making them look extra-bright.

– The seen diploma of wetness has been toned down for decrease water heights, making a drying line simpler to see.

– Adjusted the rain drop particle shader.

– Automobile water spray has been adjusted to extra precisely characterize drying and flippantly damp monitor surfaces. Water spray has additionally been up to date for improved directionality and coloring from daylight.
