Installez simplement l'application crewchief (ce qui est génial d'ailleurs) et activez-la pour GTR2, puis vous êtes prêt. Vous pouvez ensuite modifier les paramètres dans le crewchief.ini dans le dossier plugin de GTR2.

Dernière question, est-ce que ça marche aussi avec PnG ? And Gtl ?!

Retrolux · Nov 23, 2021

Yes it also works for PnG or the GTL mod as it is the same game just with added content.

Retrolux said:
Oui, cela fonctionne également pour PnG ou le mod GTL car c'est le même jeu avec du contenu ajouté.

I have to get to work then...

And an alternative solution to get the XD back?

You can fully replace XD/Trackmap with simhub and running GTR2 in borderless mode. @sikjar on this forum started few HUDs, search the downloads. Also, CC itself supports hundreds of voice commands, so pretty much all info you were getting from UI you can get via voice.

ah, ok, thanks.
I'll have a look at Simhub and I'll have to study a bit the complex functions of CC (not sure if I'll understand everything

).

If it's just a question of language, you can always ask me in french in a private conversation.
I'm from french speaking Belgium ... no single problem for me at this point of view

Voice commands are not mandatory in CC, by the way.

I tried this latest version 1.5 on a fresh install + HQ Anniversary Patch v15.9 but it doesn't work.
I extracted the zip's content inside GTR2 folder. Any advice or suggestion? Some dll missing?
Thanks

Latest version requires Crew Chief plugin and will not work without it. Also, ReShade will not work with DXVK, only plain DX9. You could try previous version 1.4.2 if you would like to run ReShade without CC.

Thanks! I will try that version

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but in VR it now looks grainy when using this. Followed instructions with nvidia inspector and the gtr2 config admin etc... and when I press the button combo' the reshade menu comes up and I choose VR. Have I missed something?

so the way this works is that you would need to find settings you like and that work best for yourself via experementation. Retrolux did a great job of adding hints in settings, focus mask, preview etc. But the main point is what looks nice to one person on certain HMD, won't look nice to someone else with another HMD.

You did it right. If you have selected the VR preset you need zo restart GTR2 once if you switch the preset on the 2D screen. At best use the steamvr dashboard to switch the preset to immediately see the change. (The grain comes from the film grain on the 2D non VR preset)

But as wolf has said you might also need to adjust the VR preset to you liking and HMD. Default settings are for Valve Index and simular HMDs.

I have the same look on my monitor - i think it's as if the AA has lessened but it's still there as as I don't have major jaggies. I think I'm doing something wrong and part of retrolux reshade is implented as in the shaders but there's some sort of conflict with the AA I think. I've set nvidia inspector to all 3 compatibility bits that have been mentioned so I'll dig deeper and figure it out.

to me it sounds like everything works as it should. What you are describing is sharpening effect applied (and, it appears you do not like it), but how exactly it will look will depend on multiple parameters, you might be able to tweak it to your liking.

Retrolux · Jul 18, 2022

@dwightyone You can also try to use the general vrtookit shader as it has more sharpening preset out of the box you can choose from to see which one is more to your liking

https://vrtoolkit.retrolux.de/presets.html

You can then enable the LUT for GTR2 to get better colors like in this preset if you want to.

Haven't tried this an an alternative so will do. I'm guessing this is a blanket method which works with a monitor as well. Will try tomorrow

dwightyone · Jul 19, 2022

Just an update - I've switched off a couple of the things in the monitor preset which now gives me better performance. Have less shimmering and aliasing on the tarmac with your (slightly adjusted) reshade preset so I'm going to keep using it - thanks.
