>CAPCOM dropped an update for Devil May Cry HD Collection on a random Monday on Steam, and it’s actually doing something fairly substantial despite the publisher’s usual vague patch notes for older titles. Today’s update reduces the collection’s overall installation size by half.>So, how did they achieve that? Essentially, the update replaces the existing FMV video files encoded in WMV with WebM files. Each video file’s size has been reduced substantially.>For instance, the DMC-HD_AttractMode_JP.wmv file, which was 113 MB, has been replaced with DMC-HD_AttractMode_JP.webm, which is just 15 MB. This has been done across the board, reducing the overall installation size by around 6.8 GB. >CAPCOM’s own patch notes only mention the following:>Verified compatibility with Windows 11>Miscellaneous bug fixesCool...Why though.. It's not like they're prepping for DMC6..So that the older games are more accessible... Right...?
Is it the same quality?
>>748657225still no cloud saves fuck you capcom
>>748657225>Why thoughIts to fix cutscenes for Proton/Linux fags. Before they had to get a fix now they dont. Thats it.
Capcom does AAA right.
>>748657225Probably some fix for steamdeck beggars
>>748657472>cloud savesplease kill yourself
>>748657225>Whyto break every mod that relies on a specific version of a game
>>748657225>webmWon't it be shit quality wise?
>>748657856>cloud saves are...LE BADCalm your contrarianism
>>748657979Sweetie, this is a thread for Devil May Cry. You can beat each of those games in an afternoon. There's no need to piss yourself about a lack of cloud saves when you effectively lose no progress should your shit get randomly wiped.
>>748657979doesn't steam have them by default? do you want cross platform saves?
>>748657225Now give us dmc definitive edition like consoles have and add the switch content from dmc3 to pc natively
>>748658136The problem is cloud saves were programmed into the collection but for some reason capcom disabled them when publishing the game
>>748657979just make your own backup you lazy nigger
>>748658204>dmc definitive editionnobody wants this
>>748658204no
>>748658204Many are asking for this
>>748657225Aren't the ports kind of bad?
>>748657460No basically all they did was change the movies from wmv so it's been smushed to webm, with all the fun webm artifacts that come with that format.
>>748657225okay and how is the quality
>>748657875This, just like the random ass dmc5 update the other day too
Most likely they're playtesting the games for W11 and SteamOS because they have a new DMC announcement coming out
>>748657472I lost my 100% saves because I assumed this game had cloud saves :(
>>748658242they weren't disabled, they write to and look for the saves in the wrong directory. It's just regular old Japanese incompetence. Oh and they changed the .exe just a little so mods are broken. Why mods you ask? Because Japanese incompetence once again tied performance to framerate and if your rig is to good and it goes above 60 you get all kinds of glitchy game breaking physics.
Capcom seems to be on a fairly goody moral run. Let's watch this closely.
>>748658654retard
>>748657460Probably not lol. What codec are they using? They probably reencoded it lossy
>>748658359I want it, so shut the fuck up.
>>748659016no one gives a shit about you, brownoid
>>748657225Should i update or not?
>>748657225>113 MB re-encoded to 15 MBWow thanks for all the artifacts niggers
>>748658359blame cheatengineersthey hacked in removal of color coding except shields and something akin to must-style mode so Capcom got cold feet and never ported them from DmC DE/DMC5SE(PS5,XSX) to PC
>>748657460Its trivially easy to keep them the same quality. The point of wmv format was that while its heavier, it takes less CPU to play. We don't need that kind of stuff anymore with modern computers.
>>748659087>turdie calling anyone else brown when it doesn't know what the shift key isHe's right. You should shut the fuck up.
>>748658475No?
Capcom wouldn't forget about GOG, right? Haha.
>>748659105Did they secretly add Enigma russian malware DRM to it again like they did with other games?
>>748659757>you're brown because you don't use the shift key!!!nice projection, favela monkey
>>748658475The original DMC3 port in 2006 was bad.The 2012 HD Collection is good now.
>you're BROWN>No YOU ARE brown>You know what? You are always TWO TIMES BROWNER>Okay and you are INFINITELY TIMES MORE BROWNTake a room, fuck each other but please just shut the fuck up
>>748659087>>748660117>Kek, like clockwork.
>>748660537>The 2012 HD Collection is good now.The PS3 and 360 HDversions had some problems too, like Kalina Ann's grappel literally not working in DMC3, the latest version fixed this though and are mostly fine
>>748659236why dmc fans make shit up like this?DmC DE is just pc mods made available for console faggotsthat improved angel dodge, demon dodge, no color restriction, etc were all originally mods for pc
>>748657856you are a fucking retard
>>748660552You're jewish
>>748657924webm is just a container, it depends on the codec, is the codec better than the one in the .wmv?Yes, absolutely yes, h264/x264 offers better quality at a lower file size, that doesn't necessarily mean that those videos are higher quality but the potential is there, although considering where hardware is they could potentially save even more space by just making all the pre rendered cutscenes rendered in game.
>>748657225>Why though.. how else will they break the mods that fix the game?
>>748660813>that improved angel dodge, demon dodge, no color restriction, etc were all originally mods for pcWhich is what I already typed.
>>748658475>>748659814>>748660537the HD ports are bad but there is a mod that fixes most or all of the problems, I forget its name
>>748661168>Yes, absolutely yes, h264/x264 offers better quality at a lower file sizeIf it's just a reencode it CAN NOT have better quality. And I for fucking sure don't think that Capcom even has the master file anymore.
>>748657460its webm so probably better
>>748661438i'm pretty sure you said it was forced in by cheat engine which isn't truehell even the color coded shields are no longer restricted to specific weapons anymorethe only thing DE seriously added was the lockon thing because the modded one was janky af
>>748658204the DmC definitive edition is just the pc version on consoles
Remember when they made a SE of DMC4 and because of the added blur, they cut the frame rate in half? I remember. They also removed some aspect ratio support.Fucking retarded.
>>748661578>forced in by cheat enginecheatengineers, moddersI don't give a fuck about your parlance. They can call themselves Johnny Mnemonicker for all I care.>even the color coded shields are no longer restricted to specific weapons anymoreI had the color restriction remover mod for DmC back when freestepdodge or whatever the DMC modding board was called existed. And that was ages before DE or DMC4SE was even a blipRegardless, we are in agreement of one thing and it is that almost everything DE has existed in the form of mods.
>>748657225How does this affect modding?
>>748661546Of the WMV or whatever format was used on the PS2? it could potentially be higher quality if it's taken from the same source as the WMV, else that is some seriously incompetent but also expected shit.
Downscaling all the videos so you don’t notice how shit the next game is
>>748657225Did they also fix the input lag?
>>748657460Are we seriously going to try and pretend like wmv files are superior in some fashion? What the fuck am I even reading?
>>748657225advice to capcom to reduce size further: delete dmc2
>>748662550Is there input lag?
>>748662682What's next, going back to Bink Video for its "superior quality"?
>>748662682shut the fuck up, midwityou don't know shit about codecs.
>>748661860iirc the changed the engine. I really wanted to play this shit on a CRT fuck the limitation of aspect raito,
>>748663750neither do you
>>748657225Did they ever fix that weird nuclear bomb ear rape audio bug?
>>748663827I'm a doom9 vet. Don't even reply to me.
>>748663810its literally just the blur
>>748658654accidentally saving over a completed file is a DMC rite of passage.welcome to the club!
>>748658475there are some visual hiccups like a few glitched skyboxes in 1 and dante's bangs not being transparent 3 but otherwise its fine.
>>748663910You are nothing

>>748657225Did this update fuck up any mods for the game like the recent 5 update did?>>748658204I be down for both
