fluffypaws.2860 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi!Update 28/01/2021 see pre-release of Version 2.4This is a major revision and release with some exciting new performance related implementationsRelease notes are as follows:-v2.4 pre releasehttps://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/releases/tag/v2.4RC2Added reshade compat iframe mod-This is WIP feature in general, better to wait for ready to use setups-allows feed reshade with a additional data for various purposes (like UI skip)-for it to work you need a special/latest reshade + reshade_compat as primary iframe mod source(special reshade currently available here )-all ingame postfx should be disabled for proper work (no AA, no postprocessing, no AO, no depth blur)Fixed depth read/write barriers: fixes some crashes with 3-rd party overlays, driversUse win API instead of shell commands in installer: this should make various antivirus softwares happyRemoved AVX & AVX2 builds from release package: they are proven useless or even reducing performance(can be builded by hand anyway)Removed different debug binaries from release package: reduce download sizeEnable cache save & load by default, but limit precompile size by 10k items: fixes character portraits & some pop-insUtilize hw based PSO cache: reduces precompile & compile timesExtra notesOld pck files are considered outdated - shader caches from earlier version will not workInitial shader compilation can take more time due to extra variativity being implementedIf you're running an older version of the D912PXY i would delete the BIN64 folder and the D912PXY and do a fresh install of the new version.This is a straight forward post to raise awareness of the D912PXY which is a way to make Guild Wars 2 use DirectX 12 instead, without changing any game code.This is specifically designed for Guild Wars 2. What can you expect from using this Mod ?In most hardware scenarios you can expect fps gains and smoother and more consistent frametimes."Profiling shows that the API overhead for d912pxy is up to 86% (r255,custom config) less than that of plain DirectX9. Real performance differs based on the scene and the hardware"Keep in mind we're past build 600+ so things have gotten even better since! (i've been using the mod since release on a range of hardware)Please refer to the video guide below and thanks to Ekay Tech for creating the vid.You can find the D912PXY here at Megai's GitHub page https://github.com/megai2/d912pxyUse the latest build available here https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/releases/tag/v2.3h6You will also find Megai's Patreon link there to support further development.A few extra tips.Update your C++ runtime by installing this package first before installing the d912pxy .To install the C++ runtime package, run the included install_all.bat with admin privileges (right click, "Run as administrator")https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/For guidance on custom configs please join the discord channel ( link below ) Please watch the guide below.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Keep in mind that the impact of this mod will vary from player to player depending on their setup. It can be a large improvement in game performance to no change at all. Also keep in mind that your monitor limits the FPS that you can see. If you have a 60hz monitor, the max FPS you'll see is 60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxGoesFloof.8049 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The D912PXY is quite literally a game changer for me.

fluffypaws.2860 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thank Little Howl. Yes just to confirm - v2.2 has the Crashfix for GW2 28.07.2020 patchA clean install , deleting the Bin folder and re-pasting the PSO cache in the pck folder worked a charm.

dandamanno.4136 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Alternatively, using a manager like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/cxsxbz/gw2_addon_manager_for_arcdps_gw2_radial_and/ makes using several different addons much easier. And when updates happen and break your game you can just disable them, then wait for an update, then re-enable them rather than having to delete all the files (which requires remembering which files belong to which program), then reinstalling every time.

Ooops.8694 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So you followed the install guide, read the "If you see something related to missing DLL file, or DLL can't be loaded, also try to install MSVC redistributable (link to vc redist https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads)" under troubleshooting, installed vcredist and the error still happens?

Andural.2530 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I installed it today but had to uninstall it. My cpu usage went crazy, the heat caused my pc to crash and I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down to turn it on again.The processor is an AMD FX-8350, with watercooler, it never goes above 40 ° at most.The truth is, the game was running much more fluid, but I tried it a second time, monitoring the processor temp and it was scaling very fast again ... this is something that I'd never seen on my pc, not even with AAA games. Clearly something is not going well, it is a real shame because the ingame performance was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly this is a hardware issue and your cooler is not coping with thermals generated by the CPU usage with the d912pxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And FX processors are known to be ovens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitarskee.5738 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Unfortunately, there was no game-changing shift in performance for me. Only got lots of bugged textures that would load 10x slower than normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you download a pre-compiled shader package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
