    3.3 version now uses Special K's (better) framelimiter.
    Please remember we're forcing a 60fps cap in the main menu so you won't be able to change Special K's framelimiter there.

    3.1 is up with a workaround for the 'dark shadows' bug.

    Some explanation for those interested: This is a vanilla bug that can happen when your framerate is over 60 during a loadscreen, possibly if an area just loads too quickly. The area will be missing global illumination, causing shadows to be really dark. We added a workaround that will simply cap the framerate to be under 60 during a loadscreen.
    As a side effect, main menu will also be capped under 60 FPS, and loadscreens may be slightly longer than uncapped.

    The mod is not (and most likely will never be) compatible with 1.0.3.0 (and very unlikely any future) version of the game.
    As the update does not provide literally any added value to the game technically aside from internally redoing some stuff this mod relied on modifying to work, we strongly recommend downgrading the executable for compatibility with this mod, be it standalone or SpecialK versions.

    There is a downgrade diff-patch file available in the downloads that allows end user to manually downgrade their executable back from 1.0.3.0 version of the game to 1.0.0.0.

    um...maybe im missing something, but my steam version is 1.2247blahblahblah not version 1.3, which im guessing is why the "downgrade" dosent work? as for using special K, yeah no thanks. his generic catch-all dll injector in my experience causes more problems than it fixes. ill take a slight frame hit, if it means my games actually render correctly and dont have the occlusion culling glitching up constantly.

    The current patch doesn't fix anything besides breaking the FPS fix. Just use the old .exe with Special K as the fix is already integrated.

      Don't really understand what you mean here.  I bought the game after the patch came out, does that mean that I will not have the old .exe?

      Yes, however there is a link to the old .exe on the Special K Discord. I will not be linking it here, because it might be technically against the rules to do so, given that it is a part of the original game files.

      It's probably just me being a discord noob, but that's a bit generic. On the Special K discord... where? On what channel? I tried looking into it and I couldn't really find it or any place where it would go...

      Edit: Nevermind, it was just me being a discord noob, by searching for "downgrade" I found it.
      I mean, I still believe a chatting server isn't the best way of sharing files, but I guess it worked in the end.

      Any chance you could open source the fix eventually? Also is the "breaking" just memory addresses that don't match anymore for static patching? Relying on downgrading to a build with Denuvo when they might shut down the activation servers at any time doesn't seem like the definitive solution to the problem.

    Downgrade file doesn't work. When the downgrade.bat is ran this happens:

      same here.. the instructions to downgrade on the Special K wiki does work even though the .exe filesize is drastically different from v1.0.3 (which made me think it was a bad download)

      Couldn't figure it out either so I just went to the Special K discord server and got the downgraded exe instead.

    When transitioning between areas the 60fps cap forced during loading remains unfortunately. Any fix?

    I'm aware why their is a 60 fps limit during load screens, but is there a way to make it so that it doesen't reset the fps lock back from 144 to 60 everytime I go into a new zone

    Is the mod's purpose to limit the framerate to 60? or to have normal game speed at higher fps? 

    I followed the steps which is 
    1. Install Special K
    2. Add lines of code in the dinput8.ini
    3. Paste the higher_fps.dll file into the main directory
    4. Enable certain settings in Special K recommended in the guide

    I swear the game is super fast at 100fps and regular speed at 60. 
    Enabling and Disabling the fps limit really shows the game speed ramping up/ return to normal. 

    I want to play this game in higher framerates
    I dont get how this works. Please help

    Hey has anyone ever mentioned how Emil is really fucking fast? Everything else is working flawlessly, but Emil keeps speeding when following me and constantly photo-bombs the camera as he overcorrects. Also funny to watch as he zooms at mach speed across all of Facade during idle animations. He thinks he's above the law but one of these days someone's gonna pull him over and give him a ticket.
