StardomPlays thanks! Looking forward to release the mod soon!

I'd like to punctualize that I'm not "artificially delaying release" and FSR3 is not "literally just installing 2 files to the game" though. FSR3 does not work the same way as DLSS-G. FSR3 FrameGen works via async tasks which are loaded into the main GPU VRAM, which in Hogwarts Legacy's case is problematic for obvious reasons: the game already had VRAM management issues in first place, so taking even more extra VRAM to compute frame-gen is troublesome, as exceding the available VRAM results in game crashes and performance issues. With Ascendio 3, I'm trying to prevent most crashes, and warn the user about what NOT to do to try and avoid the ones I'm not able to prevent.


linu30 The mod itself is almost finished. I'm just testing it right now and making minor adjustments to VRAM memory allocation to prevent game crashes and make sure everything is as polished as it can possibly be. I'm also finishing my work on the installer, taking in-game screenshots, designing image resources for the user documentation, and overall polishing the mod.FSR3 is being tested and implemented as I finish my work on other fields, so unfortunately I can't release a version of the mod without it as it's not finished.

I technically could release a loose file version of what's already done without documentation, but I rather treating my mods as professional releases so I rather publishing "the complete package" as a full update when everything is polished and professional looking, otherwise I find myself trying to finish the main application while I try to bugfix the issues of the beta branch, which later need to also get implemented on the main application. Everything gets messy. Old releases have taught me not to rush things that need time to grow.

Anyhow, the mod is starting to take shape and it won't take much longer to finish it. I'm also looking forward to release it as soon as possible!



I'll keep you guys informed about how everything is going. I'll also post a release date when I'm sure I'll meet the deadline. Expect the mod just 2 or 3 days after the release date announcement.

Do keep in mind we are currently on holliday season: christmas, new year and also my relationship anniversary and a birthday I'll have to assist (November to January is full of birthdays in my familly, haha :p), so I won't work everyday. Still, I'll try to get the mod ready as soon as possible.

See you guys soon, and Merry Christmas!
