@LokiTheKey @HilltopWorks I was working on that in a pull request, but it's not finished and may not be for a while github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pu…

@PCSX2 @HilltopWorks Ooooooo i wonder if this is a step towards steambot chronicles effects rendering correctly

PCSX2 2.0 is now LIVE! If you're using the nightly version, you may not notice much of a difference. But if you're still on the stable 1.6.0 release, we're about to blow your mind. #pcsx2 #emulation pcsx2.net/blog/2024/pcsx…

@AllieRX if you update your nightly, then go to settings->interface, you can change to the "stable" branch and update to the stable version :)

@PCSX2 Do I simply copy and paste from the zip folder of the stable build into where I have the nightly build unzipped?

Okay updater problem resolved! If you're on nightly you will need to update before switching to stable (if you want to). Those who got 2.0.0, please get 2.0.2 release for the fix! Sorry about that :)

@copenseethen @Vixo_Morales pcsxr is based off pcsx which was the predecessor to pcsx2. pcsxr was a fork.

@Vixo_Morales @PCSX2 the name pcsx2 is based off of pcsxr

Due to some teething problems with the updater, upgrading from nightly isn't functioning correctly and it's downloading the installer instead of the binary, so if you wish to change to stable, please download it manually from pcsx2.net

@stabatme All fixed now, sorry. Just make sure you update nightly first before switching if you're doing it that way :)

@PCSX2 I’ll just avoid the update from nightly until later. Thanks for the heads up!

@SirPawsies yes!

@PCSX2 is it fine to install on the same folder then?

I've just added our new Mastodon account to our profile here, feel free to drop us a follow on there!

@PTKPrincess Thanks for lettings us know, the sky rendering was actually broken for a while, and refraction fixed that, so it may have started then, it looks like the positioning (and amount of light) is fixed with Half-Pixel Offset Align Native, but the effect is not perfect to native.

@PCSX2 Another user thinks this may have originally been fixed with one of these updates: github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pu… github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pu…

We've just released a new nightly version with changes done by refraction, which aims to fix post processing on around 120 games! Hopefully less games should exhibit problems when upscaling :) See the full list of games at the link after the screenshots: github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pu…

@RentonyHawk Only the games it gets added to, since it is an upscaling fix (and some games look terrible with it), it's an opt-in option :)

@PCSX2 Awesome news! Will those settings be automatically applied to each game after the update or do I need to set the settings like it’s written in the article? Thanks!

@PTKPrincess Is this a regression or the first time you tried it recently?

@PCSX2 Transformers still has significant bloom when upscaled on 1.7.5921. First screenshot is native, second is 3x upscale (though similar effects happen on all upscales). That being said, 1.7 is still a MAJOR improvement over 1.6, thank you all for the work on this

@KainXVIII I don't think I did any for Shadow Hearts 2 per-se, that was mostly just maintenance. Do you have a place where you think it would be needed? If we can get a GS Dump on the discord of that location, then we can add it :) You should drop in on the discord!

@PCSX2 Does it work automatically or we need tinker with settings? In Shadow Hearts 2, for example..

@_Ninjii I'm proposing some changes which improve it a bunch, here's a before and after.

@PCSX2 I still got this weird "blur" effect... any help? game is Demon Stone

@Brain20755588 Here you go, preview!

@Brain20755588 okay cool, we'll get that added in an upcoming GameDB update :) Thanks!

@lisboas_lucas Yep, part of the update :)

@PCSX2 Headhunter Redemption??

@sylwahan I should say that the alignment is still a little wonky and will be until we can make the half pixel offset work for this game without causing further problems, but at least they don't look a mess :D

@sylwahan It does :)

This looks like a pretty awesome update that might alleviate some of the graphics issues when trying to upscale the Yakuza games in PCSX2.

@PostDissolved It still has issues, I'm afraid, this just fixes the bloom positioning stuff. The boxes all over the screen are still a thing :(

@PCSX2 Tales of the Abyss is finally fixed. I'm gonna cry.
