Hi everyone,

While I was working on v3 I decided to make a lightweight version of Lighting Improvements v2 for low-end PCs.

v3 is going to be pretty heavy compared to v2, v3 is targeting mid-end/high-end PCs.

v2 is targeting mid-end/high-end PCs.

I noticed there is nothing for low-end PCs.

Lightweight version is going to be for low-end PCs. Minimal addition to default rendering pipeline with new lighting and proper TAA.

I will also try to improve default rendering pipeline to improve performance and create more room for improvements.

Lightweight version is not going to look same as v2 but it is going provide better graphics compared to default game with similar performance.

It shouldn't take long time to make lightweight version so first I am going to make and release lightweight version then I will continue to work on v3.

Pricing is going to be same, 1 USD/Month and you won't need any extra subscription/payment if you already have license for v2.

Any hope for VR users, or should we press F?

I am not sure yet, I will try to avoid everything scales badly with resolution but I cannot say anything until its ready <3

Please update the ReShade version to one that is compatible with plugin v2.

Geunes de Jesus Aguiar

Good morning, could you also focus on HDR? We have monitors with this function. I see that many people mention this item. If it works with HDR, it would be absolutely perfect. HDR works with anti-aliasing. Focus on that point as well, and your app will be perfect.

Alex

When is version 3 planned to be released?

Mrs Approved Budget

So V3 is going to be for 5090 and 6090 then lol as My 4080 is heavily tanked with V2 dropping from 150+ FPS to 40 when it rains 🤣

elkamynante

So, guys I just checked The "no rain on my truck" issue and I found that it's because of the JBX3 mod. Once taken out from the game the rain it's ok on the windshield!

Chris Sobczynski

What’s considered low end my laptop has a 4050 in it with a Ryzen 7 is that low end?

elkamynante

I have a 3080ti with a i9-12900k and I consider my PC a high-end. So your's seems to be better :-)

RTX 5060 Tİ 16GB İLE SİZİN MODUNUZ OLMADAN 110 FPS ALIRKEN SİZİN MODUNUZ İLE 4K DA OYNADIĞIM OYUN 30FPS OLUYOR DÜŞÜK SİSTEM DEMEYİ BIRAKIN OPTİMİZE EDİN...

TEK KRAL

With my RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, I get 110 FPS without your mods, but with your mods, the game I play in 4K gets me only 30 FPS. Stop saying it's a low-end system, optimize it!

Chris Sobczynski

Yours is far more superior than mine lol mine is definitely low end compared to yours.

elkamynante

I'm running my game at 80-130fps mostly at 90-100. RTX 3080Ti. 40fps must be something else but not the plugin

Mrs Approved Budget

I'm playing in 4k mate with max settings with scaling on 125%. I also get 40 FPS (ish) when it rains then it goes back up to 60+ however I am now capped at 60 for a smoother consistent game play.

elkamynante

I have HDR monitor but I never use it :-) I feel better without that shit :-) (because the truth is HDR is a whim)

elkamynante

The plugin is perfect! Maybe your card/game "Graphic Configuration" is wrong. I have RTX 3080Ti and my game runs at 80-130 FPS

Mika Saari

where 10900k + 4070s goes? mid or low end?

elkamynante

I think mid-high. Damn, if a 4070 is considered low we are fucked :-))))

Bawdy Bard

Very hopefully this lightweight version will make higher end PCs better able to utilise it in VR. Because even on my 13900K+RTX4090 the normal Lighting Improvements v2 version would just a little too often cause hitching and/or stuttering. So currently i have had to go back to using TAA v10 instead for a more stable and smoother experience. Anyway, fingers crossed!

General Acc 74

Finally something to play on with my GTX 1650 ! Thank you, I personally have missed playing with V1 , looking forward to play the lightweight version on my ETS2 v1.57. Keep doing the great work!

elkamynante

4050 better than 3080?🤨

elkamynante

Oh, is a laptop card correct? It's true then mine is Better :-)

Chris Sobczynski

Oh for sure look up the gpu benchmark 3080ti vs 4050

Mrs Approved Budget

The difference in FPS between 100 and 125% scaling for me is like 8 at the most. But I'm also using PNG V2 project ultimate, Improved tree 4k and grass 4k with better flare mod and an additional 100 mods on top, with most of them being map mods. However I have just switched to my clean profile with zero mods apart from snowymoon, and I get the exact same FPS as my main profile, which is Around 58 to 60+ (capped at 60 so I don't know what it is now) then it drops into 40's when it's raining. That video there is showing an empty world in ATS, so it doesn't have anything heavy to render to kill your FPS like in ETS 2 which is what I'm currently playing. If you run ETS2 you'll find your FPS will killed like mine. As even my daughters 14600k and 7800XT in 1440p can only achieve around the same FPS with snowymoon. But once snowymoon is taken out, the FPS increases significantly and returns well over 100 FPS on both mine and her's. So you must have a very special 3080ti to beat both mine and my daughters system and the owner of project ultimate which has a 5080 and using 4k lol

Dfraction

bruh why you playing in 4k you got a 5060 ti

Efra6500

Bueno yo tengo una pc de gama media con ryzen i5 5600 con una rtx nvidia 12GB y 16 gb de ram me servira muy bien esa version light la espero con ansias gracias amigo Luna nevada

Pope

Was using JBX 3 had no problem with windshield rain.

Pope

When he's done working on it. Snowymoon - "I am still working on v3, I want to do something big with v3 so release is not going to be soon."

Dear SnowMoon developer, I have an AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Radeon 8 Graphics integrated into the processor, with 16 GB of RAM. I wanted to know if there's a possibility of studying how to make it compatible for those who have this PC GAMER configuration, for ETS 2, making slight changes to the graphics without impacting the game's performance or gameplay.

fireblack black

Está para alto desempenho referido as placas, de vídeos mais forte 4070, agora ele se refere placas menos ao RTX 4070

fireblack black

MOD Pesado cheio de texturas, pesa também, mapas detalhados, essa placa de vídeo RODA tudo sem choro a 4080

fireblack black

Caro desenvolver do SnowMoon, Eu tenho um AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Radeon 8 Graphics placa de víde integrada ao processador, com memória de 16 GB de RAM, queria saber se tem possibilidade de estudar para trazer bem compatìvel quem tem essa configuração de PC GAMER, pro ETS 2 mudando pouco gráfico sem impactar desempenho do jogo ou da jogatina.

elkamynante

I don't understand. I only have rain on truck when I take out the JBX

elkamynante

Well mate, I'm playing ATS. I downloaded ETS2 and these days I will install for testing. Let you know how's going 👍

Mrs Approved Budget

Are you using DSR in Nvidia control panel to upscale to 4k? Because I cannot for the life of me work out how you are getting those type of frames from 3080ti in 4k 🤷. Oh wait a minute, you say other settings by "default" , that would possibly explain the reason why that video doesn't look as sharp or as clear as what mine does, so try and increase thoes those settings, and see what your FPS is like especially when it rains.

MichalisRH

The bad news is that v3 will require a very high-end PC, which won't be great news for many of us. On the bright side, there’s the 'light' version of v2, even though I didn't have major issues with the standard one. I’ve currently paused my subscription until v2 becomes more stable, as the issues with the roads made it unplayable at one point. Once that is fixed, I will return. I tested the latest version yesterday, but I noticed that the wet road textures are still buggy in some spots. However, I haven't stopped following its development. I also hope that support for the free version will continue. Regardless, the effort to resolve these issues and the final result are both remarkable.

Ishan

This is a good move. xD

Alex

One thing I noticed in ETS2 is that the tunnels aren't dark, they have exactly the same lighting as the outside. I don't know if it's possible to fix this, but it would be incredible, especially in Norway and Sweden.

Snowy Moon

* I was talking about highest settings for v3 to play on high-end PCs, you can easily use v3 on mid-end PCs after lowering 1-2 settings

Redacted_Sinner

Does anyone else’s metallic colors look very dull? Like almost a matte instead of glossy? Is it my settings, wrong instillation, or just the mod itself

Alex:3 Chilean

It will work well with a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and an RTX 5070? Greetings and always keep an eye on your projects

Alfredo Piñeiro

That could be due to the number of mods you have installed, especially if they're graphics mods. I had the same problem, and after removing some mods, my FPS increased.

Mrs Approved Budget

Nah, as Apart from PNG I don't run any graphics mods, besides I tried it with a clean profile using the console command to remove accessories that gets rid of left over mods that's been previously disabled, as well as made a command in steam launch that directed it to a different folder of the game that has a sqeeky clean profile with zero mods just to be 100% sure and still the same. Snowymoon V2 tanks your FPS lol

Zachary Lewis

Same here, I got a 3080 10gb oc edition though but I still get like 80fps with like a fuck ton of map mods, gmc communities Americas extra map, and a lot of truck mods on 4k. I use lots of graphics mods and stuff to get my stuff working butter smooth and no issues at all.

Zachary Lewis

5060ti isn’t a 4k card, the 5070 is barely passable, yeah it’s got 16gb of vram but I wouldn’t even go past 1440p with that card, and even some settings are still too much for that card. Just do ur research before you buy the card or talk about that stuff in comments like this cuz it’s easily fixable. Not saying that you can’t ask for help but telling him to fix his shit when it isn’t his mod that’s the problem is not cool. We all need help sometimes but u can’t go blame other people for the problem that you caused yourself.

Pope

Already works well with that setup.

Enzo Reci

Hi bro . Why Io v10.2.32 it say connection error ?

rahaf

Hi broo why v10 stop working it says connection error

Enzo Reci

Bro iam a supporter . Why connection error for V10 Taa?

Snowy Moon

Fixed connection error for TAA v10, there was a problem with cloudflare

rahaf

thanks alot bro you are the best

Kelvi Souza

realizei a compra da versão paga do snowymoon para usar no ETS2, tenho uma AMD RX 7600, drivers atualizados, instalei o plugin corretamente, todas as configurações realizadas como pedido, mas no jogo ainda tenho serrilhados na vegetação, sombras piscando e tremendo, detalhes no interior do caminhão com flickering e sombras mexendo sozinhas, tenho videos e prints, na versão gratuita não acontece nada disso.

Ruben

ray tracing in a game that has abunch of 480p textures is crazy

LUIS HARVEY

I'd like to ask about HQ screenshots, my game keeps crashing when taking only with SM installed. "Failed to create RT color texture (XX.XXXX)" Is there a fix around this as its frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Rob Fears

Thank you! Looking forward to lightweight V2.

MichalisRH

I don't know what you're thinking about the Light version, but personally I would happily pay for TAA 10 with just the rain effect. TAA 10 performs very well without flickering and for this addition alone they would pay the subscription. Whoever wants more should go to V2 and later to v3.

Julian

Hey snowy, by any chance will you add fsr for AMD gpus ?

Midoun_

This is good news for medium PC 🙆🏻 but did y fix rain drops fps

PoTaTo155

thats really nice snowy! i have a little bit of struggling due my graphics cards using V2, im playing 50/45 fps on a RX 580, a release like this will be very helpfull!

我已经付费了,要如何安装使用

柒夏

Thank you

IvanGE90

hello,is it possible to have one payment lifetime?

elkamynante

ETS 1.58 the plugin 2.4.4 works just fine. The "rain" issue was because of JBX Weather mod. Now I found a JBX Rain Fix file on Internet and everything works ok.

Aaron

fr i want this too

disverg

Hey from UA! Thanks for free version! 2.5.0 version it's much better now, more optimized, and the SSAO looks way nicer! Thanks you for your hard work.

Hello, I have a 43-inch 4K TV and an annual subscription to the platform, but for more than 3 months I have barely been able to use Lua Nevada because it freezes a lot. Whenever I start a live stream on TikTok, everything starts lagging and freezing completely. I would also like to know about this new version for low-end PCs. When will it be available? Right now I am losing money because I pay for the subscription but cannot properly use the software on my machine. What is strange is that my computer has very good specifications: • AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6-Core 3.50 GHz) • 32 GB RAM • RTX 3060 Even with this setup, the application still has many freezing and performance issues during live streams. I would appreciate a response from the team and, if possible, a solution or an estimated update release date.

Snowy Moon

I don't think RTX 3060 can handle 4K resolution with the lighting improvements v2 o.O But with project Layers of Graphics (LoG) you will be able to set a layer based on performance. I am working on it, first version with layer 1 should be ready in a few days. Then I will add layer 2, 3, 4... with more improvements slowly to keep everything perfect

White _Cattle

Your CPU is quite outdated. I’d recommend upgrading it.To run your graphics card at full performance without bottlenecking it, you’ll need at least Intel 13th Gen or higher, or AMD Ryzen 7000 series or newer.

Mika Saari

I don't have money for upgrade this is enough for me I can go 40-50 fps 1440p all maxed dlaa 200% scaling

Mika Saari

and I have 100% gpu usage
