Shader Compatibility

Some shader settings can cause visual issues with PiP rendering.

Shader Pack Setting Notes
Nostalgia TAAU Ratio Compatibility work in progress
Ripple Motion Blur Can cause visual issues with PiP; work in progress

Disabling the affected setting may help avoid visual issues until compatibility is improved.

Technical Details

  • INLINE rendering: Draws the magnified view directly inside the lens.
  • Lens masking: Keeps magnification and glass effects inside the optic.
  • Terrain culling: Skips unnecessary terrain rendering where supported.
  • Shader integration: Supports compatible Iris and Oculus rendering paths.
  • Fallbacks: Unsupported rendering paths may revert to standard aiming.

Configuration

File: config/taczpip-client.toml

Section Controls
[pip] Mode, magnification, weapon position, blur, and sampling
[glass] Tint, reflections, shadows, distortion, and imperfections
[reticle] Glow, blur, ghosting, parallax, and distortion

Effects can be adjusted independently. Set a strength to 0 to disable it.
