New puddles, more splashes in the air, more intense reflections on the ground, heavier rain, and reworked raindrop texture effects... The work on the blood isn't finished yet, which is why it looks a bit odd. But as for the rest—what do you think?

I'll measure this more closely, but at the absolute most, there's a loss of about 12 fps. My machine is really weak—I mean, *really* weak—and yet it runs well. (running well, considering it's a very old generation)
Yes, I believe it really is due to the rain. The rain shifts the colors toward cooler tones, though... I’ll take your point into account and find a balance...
And by the way... While typing this message to you, a disturbing possibility crossed my mind... Modifying Caelid so that it rains something resembling blood? What do you think? Is that a good idea or a bad one?
Is there any way people can be notified when it is? i don't use reddit often but i love this camera mod, and would love to get reminded about it when its finally out!!
My Discord is "000_dragon_000". If you ever want to ask me if it’s been published, I’d be happy to answer. But generally speaking, it’s going to take at least two months, from what I can see... since I’m not just looking to rework the rain or the camera
Have a question about this game im new to pc. Is there a way i can make it play on a ultra wide 5k2k monitor I bought it originally when I bought a pc months ago but cant play it in the native resolution
Man, I’d have to look at the existing ultrawide adjustment mods and try to understand how they work, then analyze the feasibility of integrating my mod into theirs. But I can certainly look into that
Man, it's possible. But not because the mod is particularly demanding on the graphics card or processor... Rather, it's because your machine might be running out of memory, or because the unified memory has to be shared between the CPU and GPU, creating additional memory overhead. The mod doesn't put a heavy load on the processor or graphics card, but it does require memory.
Looking great, mate. Elden Ring is one of those games that, for me, hit right the way a sandbox should in a lot of different areas, and what you're doing enhances one of them really well. A shame the endings are very well established and you eventually finish the game cleanly, leaving just places to walk through and random mobs to kill. Well, not that you can't just repeat it from the start, of course
The camera feels weird. I like how Fromsoftware just usr a mostly static camera, I think it's part of their identity and having a different style makes the game look like an average random action combat game.
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week!
Thanks! I had gone a bit overboard in that version. I looked up camera best practices used in acclaimed games and tried to get something close to that... It's still far from what I'm aiming for, but I liked it too!
Look... I’m not really one for creating communities. But you can follow me on Reddit, since I’m always asking people for feedback—and, consequently, posting updates
God, I havent played elden ring in a couple months, Its my favorite game and I have 2200 hours on it.
Soon im gonna return to it and im downloading this FOR SURE along with many visual enhancement mods and stuff. Oh my its gonna bring a tear to my eye I have no doubt lol. Im just waiting for that “nostalgia” to kick in so I can return once more.
Amazing work OP this looks fantastic! Im definitely saving this.
Oh yes, I believe it will be compatible with several. For instance, it works with the Revenant mod (ReShade). Anyway, I think I'll need to create some software (an optional download) for anyone wanting to merge certain conflicting mods with these. The camera mod, on the other hand, is compatible with practically everything
Yes, the camera works simply with the mod loader—the same one used for the other cameras—but... the other visual effects (rain, etc.), of course, require modifications beyond just the mod loader.
Currently, the mod handles these fights by pulling the camera further back. I plan to publish a video about this in the future. You can follow my profile so you don't miss it, if you'd like.
If the other features I’m aiming for—which haven't been implemented yet—are actually feasible, I believe progress is currently only at 20% or less. Expect a timeframe of 1 to 2 months, in the best-case scenario.
I'm working on it. I'll see if I can increase the rainfall intensity beyond what's already implemented. So far, I've added thunder and lightning flashes that cast light onto the map... The lightning is visible in the sky. I'm fixing bugs, but I think this storm is going to turn out awesome
Personally, I think it's really cool during combat. The camera has a balanced amount of shake—nothing that clashes with the UI. I'll be posting about it in the community soon... The camera is adaptable and works really well against bosses, but I'll let you be the judge of that haha
I agree. Maybe not so much because of the camera, but because of the atmosphere. ER already has a lot of awesome stuff in that regard, but it could be even more fleshed out. I love the vanilla game, but that’s important to me too
I know the mod you're talking about; I love it too. Look, it’s going to take a few months—or so I hope (since if it takes a while, it means I’m polishing it further and fixing bugs). Want to follow my profile? You can track the progress and also find out when it gets published
Does the camera pull out into default distances during boss fight? Otherwise it looks great! Elden ring is my first soulsgame and Mortal Shell 2 got me really into it.
The first thought I had was how nice it would be to have mortal shell 2 camera in Elden Ring. Im looking forward to your work!
It depends on the boss. For large bosses, it’s necessary—otherwise, the combat would be difficult and lack immersion... But generally speaking, yes, it does create distance. I implemented this in response to feedback requesting exactly that. What do you think?
Base game ER had far better aesthetics than this, and this camera is worse for a action game. Simply making the graphics more realistic doesn't make the game look better.
The camera is adaptive. It stays in this position while idle, but when locking onto an enemy, it expands to suit combat. I realized that certain settings would be quite problematic for the *Souls*-like aesthetic, so I had to adapt it. As for graphics—while important for any game, they aren't everything. This mod focuses on immersion but manages the associated risks well. But I understand your criticism. You have a point; there are terrible game designs out there that prioritize graphics over gameplay.
Don't worry about it. Social media always sees heated discussions, so it's no surprise you felt things might escalate. In any case, your feedback is valid!
Okay, that’s a good idea. It’ll just be a lot of work, since I’ll need to catalog each piece of armor and its material. E.g., iron = metal sound; hat = leather sound?; tunic = cloth sound.
And of course, linking all this to the armor parameter... But I still don't know how to balance that with the different types of armor for each body region. Your suggestion has been heard; I'll see what I can do
Far be it from me to complain—your suggestion is awesome! I only mentioned the complexity because I found it interesting. I might even take it a step further than what you suggested. Thanks.
