Nier Replicant √1.5 PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Toylogic did all versions in-house it seems, but Square Enix really needs to QA better.
Nice. Auto hide mouse cursor and the frame rate limiter works better than RTSS.
[Special K] Performance PSA :: NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... General Discussions
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2465720809 The game's got b0rked gamepad code that will tank performance hard if XInput is used. Special K already has a fix for this problem. in the Input Management section of its control panel...steamcommunity.com
I meant DSR. When I tried changing the resolution to 4K on my 1080p monitor it was super zoomed in.
Absolutley no problems so far 40~ minutes in with a Radeon RX 480 on medium settings, game runs at 60fps with no noticeable drops (I did turn shadows to medium). Used big picture mode with a xss controller via Bluetooth.
EDIT: however the menu that I changed the settings on was locked at 30~ fps with noticeable drops but after the game loaded I had no issues.
Reloaded the game afterwords to test it again and it was blurry as hell and running a lot worse??? with the same exact settings I had before??? what the heck?

For some reason when capping FPS to 60 with the Nvidia Control panel, FPS caps below, at around 50 instead. Guess i'll have to play around to find the sweet spot for the locked 60.
Same. The Control Panel limiter seems bad. Would be great if i could make a separate refresh rate to 60 for the game instead.
You can also enable Nvidia Reflex (needs a Nvidia GPU and a VRR/Gsync display) for extra low latency. 👍
Recommend settings for Nvidia GPU + VRR/Gsync display, credits to Aemony for the screenshot:

Try using Special K to cap the framerate insead.
I used it for Nier Automata and it was fine, but it seems to be a global program now? Not something that only runs when the game itself is running. Or am i wrong?
My game won't even launch now. Uninstalled, reinstalled and nothing. It's like it tries to go fullscreen then stops on a windowed screen and says not responding.
You can use it global or local.
See: https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Local
and: https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Global
Honestly? I think it's more Square has built in expectations that fans will fix their ports and gamers will still buy them and make the decision to save money in porting it over.
Like not at all begrudging the Special K patch or people buying the port (myself included) but I can't help but feel Squeenix's cynicism over this after not patching Automata for three years and releasing Replicant in a similar state.
Square knows, it's not a QA thing, they just don't give a shit.
Ok, will look into it. Just saw some notes about installing a global injection service and i don't want any third party stuff like that potentially messing up other games now or in the future.
I'm not sure which is worse- Square releasing this in the state it is in or people saying "It works great for me if I run a third party frame limiter and another third party application and modify 5 settings in it. I don't know why people are complaining !"
I am so happy I'm lucky enough to have the option of buying Square games on a console. They are the only publisher I never buy on PC. It really sucks because I would love to play this game at 4k and 60fps.

Thanks, but I have no idea what to do with that. The Steam thread just has a photo of some settings and no actual files to download as far as I can tell.
You can check the wiki: https://wiki.special-k.info/
In general I would recommend joining the Discord for support.
First post in this thread has a Tips and Tricks section explaining it. You download a folder, open it and extract the DLL file into your game install. Then rename it to whatever it says in the first post. I remember doing this for Nier Automata and it was pretty painless. CTRL+Shift+Backspace is the shortcut to bring up the settings overlay in-game when it's done.
Change your Nvidia settings for the aspect ratio. I had the same issue.
i KNEW i should have gotten the refund from GMG before it released
this garbage is not worth the 15 dollar savings

Didn't have an issue launching the game until I DLed Special K. No other games have an issue launching.
Dumb question but how do I change the display settings in the game if it won't launch? I'm looking through the folders and don't see any options...

Not defending SE but I'll take 2 minutes of fiddling in Special K to get 4K/60 over playing at 1080/60.
Hmm, anyone else unable to proceed past the title screen due to save failed?
I've only got 15 minutes in, and have to stop until this evening. so far I've had no issues. I'll try to address some of those that were mentioned in this thread.
Again, it's only 15 minutes of playtime.
Specs: 3700x, 3080 GPU, playing on 60hz TV at 4k full screen. Windows and Nvidia drivers are all on the latest versions.
I just sweep the mouse cursor the side. It never comes back after that.
there is definitely something wrong in your screen set up. If anything, the bottom right corner of the screen, the map, is much much sharper than the actual gameplay itself! It's actually kind of bothering me because it seems to be at a higher resolution than the rest of my screen Lol
I turned off the steam input as mentioned before. Using an Xbox one controller with the Microsoft USB adapter. Getting vibration normally.
In my very limited 15 minutes of play, it runs at 4K 60 on TV. Full screen. Never went below 59 and never went higher than 61.

Is this just out of the box, no mods? You aren't getting any microstutter?
Welp, this PC port is trash. Can't get Special K to work, just gonna refund and buy on console I guess.
Square really needs to put more money into their PC ports.

Runs surprisingly well for me (3070, 5600x, 32gb). The only tweak I applied was forcing 60fps on the Nvidia control panel because without that it ran super fast. Played a bit over an hour, no slowdowns, stuttering or drops so far.
I'm playing with keyboard and mouse by the way.

I'm using Special K and disabled STEAM Input and everything has been great so far. I do wish this game would run at higher framerates without breaking things, but at least gameplay is smooth without any hiccups.

Aemony made a special quick start guide for all of you in the Special K Discord:
This zip file has already recommended settings enabled by default.
JaseC maybe something to threadmark.

I get a 30FPS cap in Borderless/Fullscreen mode, and a 48FPS cap in Windowed.
What the hell is up with this game?

KH3 and FF7R both run on Unreal Engine 4, so it should have been relatively easy to port those titles to PC.
Nier R runs on a proprietary engine which may be based on the original Nier's engine which was designed to run on the PS3.
I feel like those quick community fixes are actually a bad thing for the PC platform... instead of getting rightfully shat at SE now will get away with a shitport once again, while people will just point out to community fixes that you need to fiddle around with to get the game running at acceptable level.
Just tried and while you can select ultrawide resolutions, it plays with black bars, so still 16:9.
seems to run perfectly with this. thanksAemony made a special quick start guide for all of you in the Special K Discord:
