Great results using decompressed textures here - no more GPU/CPU spiking when spinning cam.
This is on a 5090 and 9800X3D, and running the decompressed high res texture pack (fully loaded via hardlinking method found here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... )
adding a hard link file for it and having the game load the actual textures as another patch pak (why this works is a mystery to me I'd love to know, it seems really, REALLY weird).
In both cases though, frame spikiness is drastically lowered!
FWIW I've been thrilled with the results of decompressing the textures on a 5090/9800X3D system - the new tools make it easy, and the high res texture pack can work with it either in a half-working manner by default that has the benefit of better performance, or fully loading the textures via
regarding what precisely about the directstorage/decompression is causing the stutters. The high res pack in particular is also affected by how Capcom is loading it, again according to Kaldaien
SK can still get it to use GPU decompression but even then it's tricky (global injection won't do it, for me local via loading as a plugin via RE Framework does). For most users, and even most using SK, it will be using the CPU fallback.
tl;dr this complicates some of the conclusions in the video
There's some important misses in the video unfortunately - not sure how @dachsjaeger.bsky.social was running his setup with Special K, but it's actually been extremely difficult for people to get GPU decompression to run on the GPU in Wilds for a long time now.

#MHWilds is beautiful. Took this screenshot in game, no additional filters or editing at all, and now it's my desktop wallpaper.
Also, Scarlet Forest is my favourite zone and the next two mons being there is good news :D
YO look at that gym time paying off! Hats off to you man
There will be 5090FE performance testing with Monster Hunter Wilds ๐
Extremely hyped to see how it is!
Next major trailer for Wilds as well as more news - of course Iโll co-stream this on my channel so I can watch together with you all ๐
Hunters planning on using two Insect Glaives for their weapon choices in #MonsterHunterWilds be like
Stills of the bush where it gets briefly turned into a weird pattern
It's so oddly subtle due to its fade in and out that at first I thought maybe it was my eyes tricking me, then peered more closely at the screen and there it was
The new DLSS Transform model, used in FFXIV, creates some interesting quirks outside of an otherwise exceptional image
Look at this zoomed in bush in motion, and how it also fades back to reality after stopping, gradually.
Really interesting quirk! (bsky compression pls ๐)

An image taken from Dragon's Dogma 2, running upscaled to 4K from a 1080p image using the new DLSS4 model
Unbelievable
Looks like how it used to with native res DLAA modded on...

Yeah literally just saw this

Hopefully yours will hold out just fine!
My favourite thing was discovering one of the recommended solutions to try was the all time classic
Percussive maintenance
Alas, no dice at least so far... going to leave it till tomorrow and see if it'll open its eyes again
After 6-7 years of service, my trusty Sony a6000 camera seems to have effectively died...
Shutter stuck and screen gets stuck on error.
From reading, repair runs $300+, at which point, yeah, you get the point

Tokuda Yuya, director of Monster Hunter Wilds, states in an IGN interview a HUGE change to how Monster Hunter hitboxes are working with monsters.
No more spheres and cylinders - hitboxes should be much more accurate to the actual monsters!
The inclusion of the Black Flame just chilling off camera to the right, then a cut shortly after it waved its tentacles to say hi, was just the perfect way to include it without stepping on toes, well done ๐ซก
Same, going on and off for over a month now what is this mad cocktail of viruses going around
Better up than down, they saidโฆ
Itโs literally dripping with drip
Some people just have no taste
Holy upgrade
From a 60hz thing to that beast
Looking forward to hearing your experience
Oh man I absolutely love when the tiredness takes me by surprise and knocks me out early, nothing beats waking up at the dead of night but having energy and feeling refreshed

Not my photo (long lost my copy of this), but this WD I got as the 'choose one WD from the shelf for free' with the starter deal at my local store.
Was completely enamoured with it, imagine my delight when later getting the Codex with the same art but that shiny hard cover and nice print!
Ah, the classic companion activity to, 'placing large glass or bottle of water on the desk in front of oneself and failing to ever remember to actually drink from it'
