Thanks DJ-RK then I will pick up Carmageddon: Max Damage :) Long time was watching at BeamNG.drive, but can't decide to buy it, but now with the fix possibility is much bigger :)

Thanks for this, DJ-RK! BTW, how far have you gotten with your Redout fix? I finally decided to try my hand at fixing a UE4 game (using previous fixes from DHR & DarkStarSword as templates). I tested 4 games and with all of them I got stuck on 2 issues: - Ambient Occlusion renders incorrectly in the left eye. - Screen Space Reflections only partially fixed. Using Frame Analysis, I'm about 95% sure it's compute shader related. But the CS in the 4 games I looked at (and in Redout) look a bit different from the ones in other UE4 fixes. So I'm not sure I'm modifying the shader correctly.

@Skawen: Cheers. Carmageddon is a bit lower on my priority list until they add racing wheel support, but I'll definitely try to take a look at that one further before long once that's implemented (devs said they are looking into it). @4everAwake: Not terribly far on my Redout fix as of yet. Couple of halos, some lighting/shadows, but got stuck on one type of lighting/shadow shader (could be AO) that halted my progress, and been meaning to get back to it. Unfortunately this is a UE4 game without shader headers, which makes things like AO which often require fixing in several spots particularly difficult. Don't even get me started on screen space reflections, those are always a pain, where I've spent hours working to fix them in one spot only to find that they break reflections elsewhere that were fine without a fix. Have you checked DSS's Watchdogs 2 fix, since he says he made a first ever accurate screenspace reflections fix there, to see if it's hopefully comparable? @Lacuna: Sweet. I hope you enjoy it. It's definitely a very good looking game. I still have yet to play it properly using my racing wheel and to find out if the driving mechanics just felt a bit clunky because I was playing on a controller, and maybe it's just too realistic for that. How are you liking it so far?

Getting a litle hard time with the controls with my controller too but loved the game's car crashing physics, so I'm driving like a maniac for continuous crashing. :p Definitely worth the purchase and the crashes looks amazing in 3DV.
