The IRIS Installer doesn't work

Everytime I load it, it says the same. How do I fix it?

Wait for IMS to chime in. There have been many reports citing the same issue.

This means your ISP or country is blocking Iris. You’ll have to run the fabric installer instead and put sodium and Iris in your mods folder Or if you really want to run the Iris installer I heard installing 1.1.1.1 from cloudflare works

the 1.1.1.1 doesn't download in my browser

hardester•9mo ago

You don't type 1.1.1.1 in your browser search bar, otherwise your browser assumes you typed in an IP address. Search "Cloudflare 1111" instead.

1.1.1.1 is the correct url though

A2OP•9mo ago

ok it works after putting cloudfare

Slooshie•9mo ago

Noice

A2OP•9mo ago

Brah what the, It download like 80mb and then this hapenned

hardester•9mo ago

Guess it's your network acting up.

A2OP•9mo ago

Then how do I use iris shaders with my fabic mods, sodium and indium?

Slooshie•9mo ago

You just get it from modrinth and put it in your mods folder Same as any other fabric mod The installer is only if you don’t have a fabric installation already Or if you’re trying to get the DH compatible version get it from #dh-compatibility-faq

A2OP•9mo ago

ok, does it work for 1.19.2?

hardester•9mo ago

:linus: No.

Slooshie•9mo ago

No, only 1.20.1 and 1.20.4

A2OP•9mo ago

all my fabric mods are 1.19.2 rip

Slooshie•9mo ago

You’ll have to get the one from modrinth then

A2OP•9mo ago

get what?

Slooshie•9mo ago

Iris

A2OP•9mo ago

A2OP•9mo ago

would it work with DH 1.19.2?

Slooshie•9mo ago

hardester•9mo ago

Eh somewhat, but shaders will look a bit out of place due to lack of native integration. At best that is. At worst, well, the game outright crash.

Slooshie•9mo ago

Was DH compatibility introduced that early? I thought it was after

hardester•9mo ago

It's uh, janky in terms of implementation.

Slooshie•9mo ago

Either way, if that version is pre-DH compatibility the DH chunks will just be invisible If it’s post-DH compatibility the DH chunks will render with vanilla shading

A2OP•9mo ago

The mods I use

A2OP•9mo ago

Nvm I don't want Distant horizons. I just want the shaders to work with all these mods

A2OP•9mo ago

Works great. Thanks

A2OP•9mo ago

I don't see the default and shadow quality level starting from 0.5 to 2x which I used in optfine

A2OP•9mo ago

How do I do that in Iris?

hardester•9mo ago

Sadly, those are features not ported over to Iris. Few reasons for that, one of them is that for the most part, it breaks shaders re-implementation.

A2OP•9mo ago

Hence the default and shadow is 1x fixed?

hardester•9mo ago

For resolution control, there's a mod named Resolution Control + that provides similar features to the Optifine's implementation.

A2OP•9mo ago

Ok I'll try that

A2OP•9mo ago

is this a shader bug or Iris bug? I'm using complementary Unbound r5.1.1

A2OP•9mo ago

the lower grids glitches

hardester•9mo ago

White box at the bottom of the screen?

A2OP•9mo ago

yes

hardester•9mo ago

Try turning off the shaders and see if it still appears.

A2OP•9mo ago

hardester•9mo ago

Shaders bug then. Report it to the developer if you like to see it resolved.

Shiratsui•9mo ago

In case this isn't solved yet I think I found something that "might" fix it Been trying to install it since yesterday It said "The installer was unable to fetch bla bla" So then I tried using pwsh, it fixed, and installed normally

hardester•9mo ago

Interesting...

Shiratsui•9mo ago

I don't know why, when I launch it, "maybe" it uses wrong java version (?) or something else, maybe devs can get a clue from this

CiolaSburata•9mo ago

What is pwsh?

Shiratsui•9mo ago

its Windows "Powershell (pwsh)"

hardester•9mo ago

Could not reproduce the issue of unable to fetch metadata, but still worth a shot to anyone who did.

Shiratsui•9mo ago

Here @CiolaSburata hope it helps, because it's still error internet connection for me

- Move installer to a folder (with no spaces to make it easier)
- Copy the file path (From explorer)
- Open windows powershell (Run as admin)
- type the command "cd<space><right_click>"
    - so the command would be "cd file_path>" -> press enter
- if there's no error on "cd" command, you can type the command "java -jar <Installer file name>" -> press enter

hardester•9mo ago

Or, a much easier way, Shift + right click in the empty section of the folder, and select the option "Open PowerShell window here". If you have Windows Terminal, that is also an option.

Shiratsui•9mo ago

Ah yeah, I forgot about that kekw It would skip the cd command 🤣

Chill guy•8mo ago

this is true but an easier solution that might work or not is to update the actual java software because it never notifies u for an update and when its outdated it breaks easily and ive been trying to solve this for horus hours* but complementary shaders had the same problem but in a vid it said that you must check if its outdated or not

wooden_hawk8•8mo ago

so whats the final answer to this question?/

hardester•8mo ago

I have not personally recreated the issue on my hand as I do not have access to the shaders pack. I have no answer on that.
