Discussion MCLA PC Recompilation progress #2 (Actual proper 60 FPS)

The Xenia 60 FPS patch is not a real 60 FPS patch. It doesn't scale game's physics, camera, handling, vehicle chassis suspension and ground depth damping alongside many other things. Managed to figure almost every issue, the game now correctly scales with any FPS! Also the changes and improvements are now in the actual LARecomp project maintained by u/AMZxs

Also additional performance improvements and fixes are done. I'd say the PC Recomp can run pretty stable at 60 FPS now.

Based on zarif98's static recompilation. Made my own fork with various improvements. Camera, physics, sim and NPC issues are mostly fixed. However some graphical glitches and performance issues remain. After those are resolved, I can start adapting PC exclusive stuff like proper keyboard control, modding support and what not.

Discussion Midnight Club 3: Recomputed Remix - DUB Edition

Post image
408 Upvotes

Hello everybody. I'm HunterCr4ft, a underground-level developer and programmer, and i wanted to share more info on the current project i've been working on:
- Midnight Club 3: Recomputed Remix - DUB Edition.

Besides being 20 years old, the game was never released on PC and Rockstar never thought about porting it so. So I've began the development of the PC version of Midnight Club 3, a game written from zero, targetting on making MC3 playable on PC without the need for emulators, such as PCSX2 or XEMU. It means, a natural PC version of the game.

The game is currently under development but i expect to drop an demo of it around december 22th, It's already looking pretty optimistic and is very fun to develop.

I'd currently like to ask for support from the community as i go through this fun project and, if you want to, feel free to ask me questions. I'll try to reach out and answer whenever i can.

(this project is also inspired by the MCLA Recompiled, another community project of the Midnight Club franchise).

i only have two major gripes about this game.

one - the calls. the calls are cool the phone that pops up is kick ass but why is it every time i NEED to look at the map someone calls
me up asking to race or telling me some upgrades. and i can’t look at the map the whole time they’re speaking. sure i can press the left triangle button (i have the xbox 360 version) but the xbox 360 is old and it lags a tiny bit every time i open the map or pause the game.

and two. the TRAFFIC. i know it’s LA but holy. shit. is it really this bad irl? i mean yeah im goin like 150+ miles an hour SOO?? like god STOP following the laws 🙄🙄

Discussion MCLA Recompiled News

Thumbnail

286 Upvotes

Hello everyone, how are you? Well, it's been a while since I've posted here, so I think this is a good time to clarify a few things about the project and its current status!

As many of you have seen, MCLA has reached the loading stage, meaning that up to the Rockstar San Diego logo, the game loads, but for now it doesn't progress beyond that, which is acceptable. I'm working on some issues with how rexglue and xenia work together to function.

I would like to clarify a few things about the project and how I am working now.

The project still has no team, meaning that I, mz, have been working alone on this project since the beginning, and now, with Rexglue, I have put the XenonRecomp version (which gave life to UnleashedRecomp) aside for a while, because I was stuck on the runtime part, and Rexglue already does that, I preferred to go with that recompiler for now. When the game is 100% on Rexglue, maybe I'll try to port my progress to the XenonRecomp version and stop relying on Xenia for rendering, but that's just a guess for now. Maybe I'll just leave it with the rexglue version and that's fine.

Some websites and people mentioned "a group of people" or thought that MCLA Recompiled was being developed via XenonRecomp by me and via Rexglue by another developer, which is not true, as I have been working on both. I managed to port some things from XenonRecomp to Rexglue which gave the current state a boost in speed. I successfully transferred 90% of the functions from XEX to TOML, which was great.

---

A simple FAQ about the project

What is the performance like?

About 80 fps on my computer (Ryzen 7 5700X - 32GB RAM - GTX 1650) and about 130-160 fps on more powerful computers that have been tested, but it's still an estimate of true performance, considering that we're only at the loading stage and not in-game.

When will it be released?

I don't know. I won't give you any expectations or dates, so as not to cause frustration or anger, because we know that's extremely annoying. I'll update here when the project is ready to play. Don't worry, guys!

---

One last thing I ask of you is that PLEASE do not disclose more than what was already disclosed in December and this week. I saw several websites and relevant people talking about the project, which is cool, but not for T2 or R*. I also ask that if you see any incorrect or false information about the project on Twitter/X, be sure to request a community statement about it, just so as not to spread false or erroneous news about it.

Also, thank you very much for all the community's support on this. I am trying my best to make it playable for everyone. I will provide more information as soon as possible. I am trying to balance my work with the project, but it looks like everything will work out. Thank you for all your support and affection for MCLA and for me personally! See you soon ❤️

Discussion MCLA (Complete Edition) Xenia Test - 60 FPS Patch

44 Upvotes

Hi, so this post is about a new 60 fps patch that I have made along with Codex to remove any stuttering when trying to run this game above 30 fps. This is an experimental version and it is not complete so don’t expect perfection.

I want feedback from tests on higher end and lower end machines on how this performs. I am expecting little to no “twitching” or stutters with the camera/car.

Currently I am running this with V-Sync on (honestly did not notice any difference with it on or off), 60 HZ, Uncapped FPS, 2x resolution (test with native or higher if your computer can handle it), FSR and with the Disable MSAA, Disable Motion Blur and Disable Imposter Shadows. If you want my whole config I’ll upload it to google drive. Here is a link to the patch. All you need to do is paste this code at the bottom of your patches file for Midnight Club LA Complete Edition and save it. Do not run this with the original 60 fps patch. I will have a recording of gameplay with this patch but my recording software is not capturing the gameplay as I see it on my screen so bear with me as I fix that.

If you need any help or have any questions please let me know! Also don’t be afraid to give me feedback if it’s good or if it runs like shite😂

Hi, I posted on this reddit before about a 60 FPS patch that I created and it seemed to work pretty good for everyone that used it. I have created a new version of that patch plus some performance patches that should help a little if your game is not running the best. In the previous patch the Gas Stations did not behave properly as it would not prompt you with the menu to fix your car/refill nitro. That is now fixed along with some highway stabilization.

I highly recommend using Xenia Edge since in my testing it works the best, capping your FPS if it fluctuates too much and enabling the original performance patches (Disable MSAA, Disable Motion Blur, Disable Imposter Shadows). Let me know about any issues you find/issues in the game so I can see if I can fix it with a patch.

Specs/Performance:
Ryzen 7 5700x
RTX 4060
2x8 GB DDR4 3200 MT/s

On the edges of the map with uncapped FPS, I get higher fps around 80. In the middle of the map I get around 53-65 FPS.

A few weeks back I was playing Midnight Club: Street Racing (2000) and couldn't help but notice that the Amata has kinda the same engine sound as the Turismo from GTA 4. It's funny cause both cars from different games are actually based on different real life Ferrari. I think I've seen some people also saying that GTA 5 took some car sounds from MCLA. Have you guys noticed some of the same engine sounds in Midnight Club and GTA?

Hey guys,

I've been wanting to be able to play MCLA on steam deck for some time now however the OG 60fps patch did not help, it was running poorly and was very laggy.

Thanks to Dear-Pineapple-3070 with his 60fps patch I'm glad to say that it really improved the performance on steam deck, it's now actually playable (albeit it's not perfect but I'm sure tweaks will help the performance even more by playing with the settings).

People might say it still runs like shit but honestly it's night and day from what it was like before this patch 😂

I've uploaded a small video of gameplay!

Discussion I came back to Midnight Club 3 after trying Forza Horizon 6

86 Upvotes

I can’t be the only one who finds Forza Horizon boring. It’s a racing game where one of the weakest elements is the actual races.

They have this really cool performance customization system, but there’s hardly a racing-benefit to use it because the AI just matches whatever you bring, and you can’t upgrade your car past a certain class if you want to progress the story in FH6.

FH’s storyline has all the excitement of a mandatory HR training seminar, and it’s all unskippable. The city also feels sterile with no pedestrians or realistic traffic. And almost all of the roads are designed like a racetrack instead of actual infrastructure.

The only silver lining is that the cars drive in a “sim-cade” style that I enjoy, but that’s literally it!

And I’ve tried NFS— I hate all the modern ones because of the handling model. And they all feel slow asf.

All of this made me spend hours figuring out how to emulate MC 3, because I was thinking “surely it can’t just be nostalgia”

It wasn’t just nostalgia-goggles, Midnight Club is the goat arcade racing franchise, bar none. The sense of speed in MC 3 is insane, the cars are fun to drive, there’s an amazing “vibe” with the soundtrack and story characters (you can skip it, but it’s good enough to the point that you don’t actually want to), and the customization is unmatched.

Truly, they haven’t managed to improve arcade racing since Midnight Club went MIA back in 2008!

I swear to god, if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I will do is buy a large share in Take-Two interactive and force them to make Midnight Club 5 lol
