  1. Version v1.0

    TL;DR The DirectInputFpxFix fixes an input related FPS drop/slowdown problem that occurs in FEAR, its expansions, Condemned: Criminal Origins and other games. It is easy to install and does not require manual disabling of HID devices. Quick start guide: Extract the file dinput8.dll to the folder containing the executable of the game. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FEAR Ultimate Shooter Edition" Start the game like you would normally, for example directly through Steam or GOG Galaxy. Features The DirectInputFpsFix fixes a bug that causes the FPS to severely drop after a few minutes of play. This problem is probably most widely known in regards to the game FEAR and often occurs in conjunction with the usage of Logitech devices. However, the problem also crops up in other games using the same engine, such as the FEAR expansions or Condemned: Criminal Origins and with non-Logitech hardware configurations. A similar problem has also been reported to occur in other titles, like Prototype. Although this issue can often be fixed by disabling most/all HID-Devices in the device manager, it is bothersome to do so and lately some people reported that that solution does not even work at all anymore, especially on machines running Windows 10. Instructions Supported Games The fix is agnostic towards the game that uses it and should therefore work with all versions of a supported game, including the Steam, GOG and retail versions. Confirmed:FEAR and its expansions Condemned: Criminal Origins [*]Supposedly: Prototype Kane & Lynch: Dead Men Feel free to provide feedback if the DLL works on other games as well. Install The fix does not make any permanent changes to the game or to Windows and can easily be removed. Extract the file dinput8.dll to the folder containing the executable of the game. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FEAR Ultimate Shooter Edition"* Start the game like you would normally, for example directly through Steam or GOG Galaxy. *Note that for the FEAR expansions the fix also has to be installed into the corresponding sub-folder of the game Uninstall Rename or remove the dinput8.dll from the folder of the game. Known Issues There are currently no known issues with the fix. Additional Information Antivirus Software Since this mod consists of an executable DLL file that uses "hacking techniques" such as injection and hooking, it could be classified as malicious by antivirus software. In that case, it might be necessary to add an exception rule to the scanner. If you lack the trust in random people on the internet -- and I would not blame you -- feel free to use a meta online virus scanner like VirusTotal to verify the file. Loading Other Fixes/Mods/Injectors To increase the compatibility with other mods or injectors that are using a wrapper DLL, this fix offers two methods for remote loading of additional files. Note that there might still be compatibility issues between the different fixes, mods or injectors that have nothing to do with the loading process. File method: The mod will load another dinput8.dll automatically if it has the name dinput8.dll. Just rename the DLL you want to load accordingly. Using this method will lead to an error if the renamed DLL is not itself a dinput8.dll. Folder method: The mod will also automatically load all DLLs regardless of their names in a dinput8 sub-directory. Just create a corresponding folder in the install directory of the mod. This is the only way to load multiple (conflicting) files. How This Works The fix is implemented using a common technique known as DLL hooking. User input in games like FEAR can be realized via DirectInput, an API by Microsoft for interacting with HID-Devices. The library is ancient and should no longer be used today, because there are other ways to get mouse and keyboard input, especially for games. The FPS drops happen because the thread that runs DirectInput massively slows down after a while (as can be seen in tools like ProcessExplorer). If an application uses a library like DirectInput, it needs a so-called DLL (dynamic-link library) where the functionality of the library is stored. In many cases, especially for libraries provided by Microsoft, these DLLs usually reside in the Windows folder. However, there is an order of how an application searches for the DLLs it needs. Since the DLL of the fix gets copied into the main folder of the application and has the same name of a DLL needed by the game (the one of DirectInput), it gets loaded instead of the one in the Windows folder. This means that all calls to DirectInput go through the Hook-DLL and can either be directed to the original DLL in the Windows folder or changed as necessary. This also allows some insight in how exactly the library is used by the game. It turned out that some games not only unnecessarily register all HID-devices, they also call several functions every frame that usually only should be called once during initialization. The latter seems to apply only to devices that are not keyboards or mice. This eventually leads to circumstances where a lot of time is spent opening and closing device connections. The fix changes the DirectInput initialization in such a way that only keyboard and pointer devices get registered.

    This fan made patch fixes an NPC bug in the Steam versions of "God Eater: Resurrection" and "GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst", where NPCs would not perform charged attacks most of the time. Also supposedly fixes them not using healing items. Password: pcgw Author: Qingyu510
  3. Version v0.2.1

    Now presenting... GridMTFix A Race Driver: Grid Multithread Fix. A little insight The game was launched on 2008, just prior to Intel's Sandy Bridge Core microarchitecture , which more or less marked a milestone on multithreading as we all know it nowadays. So given that circunstance, the game already has support for 2 and 4 cores CPU, mostly from the Dual and Quad Core era. It even has a non-working 8 core support implemented (in fact, the 8 core worker map file is there, but the game won't make use of it on modern hardware and implements it weirdly). EGO engine it has been vastly used on several titles from Codemasters, so I did a little investigation on other EGO 1.0 and 1.5 titles, and came up with a fix for that 8 core workermap. Upon testing, I realized that the workermap could be extrapolated to more cores, so I made several other worker map files to support 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 cores. I don't really know how much better the game will perform, but at least It won't hurt as much as being only using 4 cores max. Also, this method fixes several other hardware detection problems as: Improper resolution detection Improper system internal rating Adds more granularity on the graphics settings What exactly does this fix? Well, it downloads Steamless , NTCore's Patcher to patch the EXE file, then downloads my modded files, and copies my fix xml files to your game's system folder, and then using a template, will detect your CPU's logical cores, and create a personalized hardware restriction file, to make your the game uses the most amount of cores possible. Important Requirement This scripts is (v0.2.1) online, so it will download the necesary files to patch your game, and then clean the installation. So an online connection is needed to apply the patch now. GOG Release / Retail versions / Zoom Release Gog release is already DRMless, so you only have to apply the 4GB LAA Patch. Use NTCore's 4GB Patch tool to patch the exe file and you are good to continue with the other steps of this document. Use the v0.2.1 release now, be sure to select the GOG exe. It will automatically patch the exe file with the NTCore 4GB patch, and apply the MTFix. Steam Release Steam release has DRM, so if you apply the 4GB LAA Patch to it, it will fail. You have to remove it's DRM using atom0s Steamless tool and then, use the NTCore's 4GB Patch tool to patch the exe file. It's mandatory doing it in this exact order. Then, continue with this instructions. Use the v0.2.1 release now, be sure to select the Steam exe. It will automatically remove the DRM with Steamless, patch the exe file with the NTCore 4GB patch, and apply the MTFix. How to apply the fix If you already have the requirements above done, the fix is easy to apply. 1-Download the fix Download the file "GridMTFix_XXX.exe" (being XXX your selected flavour) and paste it on the main Race Driver Grid folder, just near the grid.exe file. The other zip files from the download are for backup purposes. Ignore them. 2-Execute GridMTFix_XXX.exe Let it do its things 3-Run the game and reconfigure it. Your settings should be gone. Set them up again. If everything works, you can now play Race Driver: Grid making the most out of your hardware. * Strong Recommendation I really encourage you to pair this fix with DXVK from Doitsujin if your GPU is Vulkan capable. On my system I go from 180fps in race with D3D9 to 285fps with Vulkan. Give it a try!! Check my Github for more info, this script is open source!

    This modification fixes improper alpha blending based on certain objects designed to use additive alpha such as the green arrows seen in Power Plant. To use, copy the executable into the main game directory and other items including the dff models, one archive edits and the texture dictionary fixes (which some of them without alpha caused the issue) into your dvdroot folder. There are optional graphic mods to enhance the visual effects made along with this mod. Copy the MasterEffect or SweetFX files into the directory where your executable is located. The last thing is the third warp effect used in haunted levels of the game can now be used anywhere in the game by setting the byte in offsets "1ADAA" and "1ADEA" to byte "04" as an optional effect load function based on an object used for teleporting somewhere else in the level.

    An unofficial patch for Culpa Innata adds support for widescreen resolutions (when forced via dgVoodoo2) and removes the film grain effect. dgVoodoo2 is required Installation: 1. Find the dgVoodoo2 provided D3D8.dll that you placed in the game's folder. Rename it to "D3D8_dgvoodoo.dll" (needs to be that exact name). 2. Add my D3D8.dll where the dgVoodoo2 one used to be. 3. You need to set an exact resolution in dgVoodoo2's DirectX tab - not one of the named special resolutions. For example, enter "1920x1080", not "Max FHD". 4. Confirm that dgVoodoo.conf exists in the game's install folder.

    This is an unofficial patch of the most recent driver_model.pssg file available from Steam for GRID Autosport. It was patched by me using Ego PSSG Editor. Place it in the characters models subdirectory of your game installation (e.g., %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\GRID Autosport\characters\models). Build 336292 of GRID Autosport committed a driver model change which caused the logo textures not to render properly on helmets and suits. While it's possible to roll back to the previous version of the file, the prior version is missing some values found in the most recent version. Two data blocks in the current release of the file cause the textures issue; I overwrote these using corresponding data imported from the previous version of the file, but otherwise preserved the rest of the changes implemented in the most recent version of the file.

    This is a RAR file that contains a modified CSHELL.DLL and a Nina Agent Chronicles - FOV Fixer v1.4.exe intended to fix the field of view in Nina: Agent Chronicles (2002), as the game's engine, LithTech Talon, stretches the image at resolutions with an aspect ratio wider than 4:3, due to it having a constant horizontal FOV, no matter the resolution chosen. Source code available here: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/NinaAgentChroniclesFOVFix.cpp Instructions: 1. Extract all files to the root game folder, and extract the 32-bit or 64-bit fixer exe depending if your system is 32 or 64-bits. 2. Create a shortcut to lithtech.exe, then go to the shortcut's properties. 3.

From now on, always run the game from the shorcut instead of Nina.exe (it's better to rename the shorcut to "Nina Agent Chronicles", and delete Nina.exe to avoid confusion in the future). 5. Run Nina Agent Chronicles - FOV Fixer v1.4.exe, and insert your desired resolution width and height to automatically fix the FOV, or insert custom horizontal and vertical FOV values if desired.

    Upgrades FlatOut 1 & 2 to the Super Digital Deluxe editions, which allows the retail owners, or ones of any other platform, to have the improvements from the in their games, similarly to the other patches on here which add improvements from GOG to Steam or vice versa. For FO1 you need to add the proper files to the load order in patch.ini on steam and use either latin.bat or cyrilic.bat on GOG (just remember that this just adds the things from the Deluxe version, you'll still need to use a patch for the steam to upgrade to 1.1 and one for GOG to fix the texture issues), for FO2 you just need to add it to the file "patch" which is just a text file.

    This RAR file contains a American McGee's Alice - FOV Fixer v1.2.exe intended to fix the field of view in American McGee's Alice (2000), since the engine the game uses (id Tech 3) is Vert-, it means the vertical FOV is reduced the wider the aspect ratio becomes. This is a permanent fix, so it's no longer needed to run the "fov" command every level reset/restart or binding the command to a key. Both the gameplay and cutscene FOVs are fixed. Source code available: https://github.com/alphayellow1/AlphaYellowWidescreenFixes/blob/main/source/fixes/AmericanMcGeesAliceFOVFix.cpp Instructions: 1. Just extract the American McGee's Alice - FOV Fixer v1.2.exe to the main game folder where the game executable is, and extract the 32-bit or 64-bit fixer exe depending if your system is 32 or 64-bits. 2. Run the fixer, and set the desired width and height to fix the FOV automatically, or set a custom FOV value.

    As most are aware of by now, the steam version of FlatOut 1 is still the outdated 1.0. There have been many who made their own updaters to 1.1, however all of them more or less obvious issues with them. That's why I decided to create my own fix, which is currently the best available option. I compared the files from the Steam release with the GOG one and packed the updated files as patch01.bfs (don't worry, I didn't introduce texture issues from the GOG version), so the bfs archive has all the required files without any unneeded overlap between the files. To install just extract the files to the game's directory. DO NOT install this patch on any retail version, it may introduce issues. There's no reason or way to use it with the GOG version, it literally won't do anything.
