ALIEN ISOLATION CUTSCENE REMASTER>
A comprehensive 4K/60fps cutscene remaster.




>ABOUT_
Cutscenes in Alien Isolation have been upscaled from 1080p/30fps to 4K 60 fps and re-encoded to shine on modern UHD screens. You will notice much less compression pixellation and clearer detail to the originals. 

See the changelog for update details.

ADDITIONAL x264 IMPROVEMENTS

  • Improved overally compresssion and detail - particularly for darker, blurry scenes, or fast movement.
  • Smoothed lighting and colour banding in introduction cutscene
  • Smaller filesize

4K VERSION IMPROVEMENTS

  • Increased 4K resolution for all cutscenes including the title screen
  • Improved interpolation: An additional interpolation pass and frame by frame comparison was done for all scenes to regain as much detail as possible, replacing hundreds of over-blurred transition frames 
  • Replaced incorrect frames including lighting errors and incorrect model textures
    (such as Axel appearing injured briefly in several shots before being attacked)


>INSTALLATION_
This is a manual installation, so be sure to back up the original videos.
1. Navigate to your game video directory e.g:  G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Alien Isolation\DATA\UI\MOVIES

2. backup the ".USM" files elsewhere (optional)
3. Extract the 7z mod file into your video folder above. 
4. Extract the DLL from the AIMovieFix mod into your main game directory

>NOTES AND ISSUES_
  • All original language options are preserved, subtitles restored. (v3.1)
  • Retro/low quality cutscenes have intentionally not been remastered or interpolated to preserve the intended effect. 
  • Install your game to a fast drive - SSD or NVMe for the best playback performance. HDD is not recommended.

x264 SPECIFIC: **Use the regular compatibility version if the x264 version does not work or plays poorly**

  • Cutscene_17 with the video monitor medical report now 60fps instead of 30fps
  • All cutscenes have been tested with the patch in windows 11. 
  • Some cutscenes may play more smoothly than others, others choppy


ISSUES: 

  • Playback is choppy
    Install the game on a fast drive - SSD or NVMe. HDD is not recommended. Use the regular compatibility version.
  • Cutscenes do not play, only show a black screen
    Copy the aimoviepatch dll into the game root directory again and relaunch. If still not working, try regular version.

If you have any other issues please create a bug report and describe what happens and how to recreate the problem. If i can identify the issue i will try to remedy it if possible.
