If you take the word of these Reddit commenters, you could see your framerates increase from 30 fps to 60 fps. In addition, it tweaks the optimization the game’s lighting and shadows, allowing for performance increases.

The aptly titled Kaldaien’s FAR Mod (Fix Automata Resolution), updates the game to run at true 1080p. The PC version of the Platinum Games title has been held back by some technical issues, like running at a stetched 900p instead of actual 1080p, but a new mod is addressing the issue.

We’ve seen that with content mods and UI mods for games like Skyrim, and now it’s happening to a more recent release: Nier: Automata. One of the great things about PC gaming is that from time to time, the community will step up to either add to or fix games that it isn’t entirely happy with.
#NIER AUTOMATA PC MODS PATCH#
Whoops.If you aren’t happy with Nier: Automata‘s graphics on PC, there’s a new fan-made patch that improves them. My biggest setback so far was accidentally selling my OS chip and therefore dying, losing almost an hour of progress. The fullscreen issue aside, it's looked pretty, run well, not crashed, and been jolly good fun. Others, not.įingers crossed for something official soon-ish. On the crashing front, some players report that disabling ambient occlusion, anisotropic filtering, and vsync has helped them. I won't sniff at a free 10% from a tool I'm using anyway. I don't see mega-huge boosts from fiddling with GI myself, even at the lowest setting, but have gained a clear 5-10% by knocking it down one notch - and the game looks exactly the same to me at that level.

Igrat nicely explains how to use it all in this Reddit thread (though don't mind the bits about the test branch - GI settings are now in main too) so go look there. For all-in-one ease, Kaldaien has now added a GI setting to the FAR tool. Tweaking the GI can bring big performance boosts - some players report up to 60% - but this can also noticeably change how the game looks.
See, 'DrDaxxy' discovered potential big performance gains in fiddling with the global illumination shader in Automata's guts. His FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) tool fixes that fullscreen scaling problem and, in a version released last night, has an option to help boost performance. The must-have fix is a tool by Andon 'Kaldaien' Coleman, whose 'SpecialK' kit has also helped fix up games including Final Fantasy X, Tales of Berseria, and Disgaea. Those are the most complained-about problems but Redditers have whipped together a bigger list.Īnd fixes? Well, we're staying tuned for something official but players have done good work by rummaging in the game's guts. Some players are finding the game's performance slower than they'd expect. Fullscreen mode seems to have a bug where it downscales the screen then upscales it, making everything blurry (see the effects in this gallery from Redditor 'igrat'). So which problems does Automata's PC port have? Well! Some folks are reporting crashes or freezes, which are never fun. We wanted to let you know that we appreciate all your feedback and are investigating the issues that have been reported. "We are happy so many are enjoying the game. Last night's official statement is pretty vague, saying:
But in the meantime, players have come up with some good fixes themselves. The Automata team have now issued a statement saying they're investigating reports. Issues include fullscreen mode upscaling wonkily, crashes, and unexpectedly poor performance. Sadly, technical problems are dragging it down for some - not all, to be clear - players. Platinum's Nier: Automata is a cracking game, our Adam will tell you, and from the 16 hours I've played I'd certainly agree.
