Okay, so here’s a short installation guide:
-
Download the Special K archive and extract it to a place of your choice.
-
Launch SKIF that resides in the folder you extracted to. You can run it either with or without the Steam client running.
-
Through SKIF, you can launch the global injector and it will automatically initialize Special K in all processes that matches its whitelist (configurable through SKIF), but which basically defaults to all processes launched from a location that resides under a SteamApps folder.
- Note, global injection remains running even if SKIF is closed so be sure to stop global injection if you don’t want it running in the background.
Edit: Removed all appmanifest related steps as the new version of SKIF doesn’t need it.
Edit 2: Pointed the download link to the general-purpose link found on top of the page. Hopefully that archive will always point to the latest version.
