NOTE:
   Steam version untested, but config process assumed to work the same as any other Steam game.

OMG, thanks. Does this increase a little performance. Or it levels out frametimes only?

5

Level out frametimes.

Awesome now, no stutter even if it goes lower that fpslimit. Just got microfreezes becasue of assets loading I guess. I`m now creating a manual cache of new york city to test again.

Can you load reshade through specialk?
or otherwise, Geforce experience freestyle doesn t load with specialk. How to make it work?

8

Where do you put the .dll and .pdb files?

9

Same directory as SKIF.exe.

Basically:

  1. Download Special K via the download link at the very top of the fourms
    1.1 Extract that to some install directory (suggestion = Documents\My Mods\SpecialK)

  2. Download the special version here,
    2.1 Replace SpecialK64.dll with the version in this thread
    2.2 Run SKIF, turn Global Injection on
    2.3 Run game once, then configure SpecialK.ini as shown.

I will be releasing a new version of SKIF tonight or tomorrow that will make some of this easier.

I may found a bug, I have to check and uncheck waitable swapchain otherwise fps are lock at 15/16fps with a framelimit of 30.
Nvidia 980ti

11

Buggy driver then, I suppose.

SwapChainWait should be set to 2 or 3x your frametime.

So if you’re aiming for 30 FPS, use 100

12

thanks wiil try. Also after a couple restars it fixed itself

13

NVIDIA’s older GPUs may not be as good with this feature as the new ones, it seems. All my testing has been on GTX 1080 / Ti class hardware and newer. I had 3-way GTX 980 SLI back in the day, but was eager to get the hell away from SLI, lol and quickly went with Pascal GPUs as fast as I could.

14

right, I`m waiting for Ampere for christmas maybe.

15

Any recommendation to make reshade work?

16

Best bet is to use the unofficial version that ships with Special K.

17

Yea tried that…sadly it doesn’t work. Don’t have any other Injector on.
Game version is UWP.

18

I got it to load reshade, but effects doesnt register it seems there is some kind of anti-tamper going on.
The other option is freestyle, but it doesnt load the freestyle menu.

For first-time users, grab this:

https://sk-data.special-k.info/VersionControl/SpecialK/0/SK_UWP-thus-IPW_0_11_0_45.7z

That includes everything SK related and you should unpack it to:

Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\
