Black dots with RBM

Apparently I'm blind, but which black dots are we talking about?

Ah. They weren't noticable on the monitor of my development computer at first, but I can see them now. Can't help with that though, Marty might be of more use here.

It's just limitations of ReShade. See, for the direction of the reflection I need to find out the alignment of the surface relative to the camera (normal vectors for math geeks). The only way to do this on ReShade is by comparing the depth of neighbouring pixels and generating some 3d position points which give indications how the surface is aligned. Now on object borders, this check fails and it basically compares the border pixels of an object with pixels of something way behind so the object border gets a wrong alignment, 1 pixel wide. These pixels grab their reflection source color from the wrong location, hence miscolored "dots" that look like aliasing artifacts. The reason why these artifacts get more pronounced with higher reflection wideness is because the higher the wideness, the more off the source the reflection sample is. Low wideness factors might make the problematic pixels sample pixels not far away, increasing the chance that it samples from the reflecting object itself, hence getting a reflection that has the same color like the original pixel. In the newest Framework release I tried to compensate this effect with some trick from an AMD paper, might want to check that out.
