Durante Presents: FFXIII resolution unlocking (GeDoSaTo plugin) released - pre-alpha

So I just want to confirm that NOBODY running at their native res has a steady, smooth 60 both in and out of battles, right?

I'm getting crazy stuttering during battles and sometimes outside of them, as if it's stuttering to load more assets as I'm moving forward. If that's not normal for a midrange card (gtx 770) does anyone know how to fix it? I already forced Max Performance in the nVidia control panel.

I have the right thing in my config file. Any idea why its downscaling to 1536x864? I didn't change any other settings in the program from the defaults?

I figured out what is causing the problem. Its reading the configuration information from the default .ini file not the one specific to FFXIII????

the ff13 ini over rides the same options but not the others

like if u had
presentWidth 1536
presentHeight 864
presentHz 60

in the main file instead of 0's there it would downscale to that res.

I think my framerates are pretty stable but how do we monitor it when using gedosato? Rivatuner statistics seem to not show up with it running.
 
What's up with the weird x? I don't think × should work as a substitute for x, but I can be mistaken.

Huh. I have no idea how that got there. I certainly didn't consciously type it, and it doesn't seem to be in the default setting.

Beats me.

FAKE EDIT: Ah. I copy/pasted it from Durante's OP.

This is what I have in my main.ini file?
 
The pre-rendered scenes are rendered based on PS3 specs, so yeah, the difference is pretty jarring.



Did you change the setting in the menu?

Yup, that was it. it seems I can't actually see any of the menu, but I was able to change into controller setting. Thanks man.

One other issue I have is that sometimes cutscenes get super blurry. I don't recall if that's the way they're supposed to look but I don't think so.

change this line presentHz 60 and you should be good.

I did that and now its downsampling to that 1536 resolution WTF. This is really frustrating. Is there any way I can get someone to share there .ini files for both the general program and FF 13?

Download the dll linked here to fix the menu. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=133671203&postcount=256

And the DoF is broken right now, Durante will try to fix it.

Change the 0's to 1920 and 1080 then and see if it helps.

It would be amazing if someone could make PS3 icons for controller users, like Dark Souls 1/2.

I'd do a DS4 one if the dumping worked. Whenever it starts working in the fix I'll be redoing the HUD, font, and such at a higher resolution or a cleaner all over image.

Change present width and height to whatever your monitor resolution is and put that in your ffxiiiimg ini

know it says downsampling to 1920x1080 so it appears its outputting at my resolution. That being said the screen still goes dark like its changing resolutions when entering and leaving the game? Is there a utility that will show me the resolution output while in game?

I will gladly wait for PS buttons before I actually jump into this game.

Xbox prompts on a Final Fantasy game? Disgusting.
 
Okay!
Made some actual progress:

# Writing something not supported by the display here will probably cause a crash.
# 0 = main monitor resolution

# The type of scaling you want to use.
# bilinear: what GPUs generally do, cheap performance-wise
# bicubic: higher quality, more expensive performance-wise
# lanczos: higher quality and sharp, most expensive performance-wise
# nearest: extremely cheap, generally ugly, but useful to upsample retro games

# Forces the present resolution to be set, regardless of what the game requests
# usually only makes sense in conjunction with game-specific plugins

# For games which use strange methods to query resolutions,

With smaa "2" instead of fxaa "0"

Still needs work. Gotta get downsampling in there.

Oh, that's good to hear. I have a DS4, I just say PS3 controller cause most people know it by that.

Be glad to see them all in higher resolution. I myself am waiting til this runs without the frame stutter(I hope), proper resolution, and icon replacements / no DoF errors, ect.

GeDoSaTo works perfect for me, with the exception of the obvious framerate dips to 30 in battle. But is anyone else having any issues with their gamepads? As in "the game doesn't even recognize a standard wired 360 gamepad"? The keyboard works fine, but the gamepad is a no-go.

It recognizes my wireless 360 plus dongle with no issues..

So I did everything listed in this thread and all the configs are right but I know for a fact I am not in 1080p based on the size of the Steam icon that shows up in game. WTF

thank god for this plugin
can't stand 720p blurry mess

my FPS shows 60 but sometimes feels like lagging
is it normal? bug in the game itself or plugin?

Thank You Durante
i often hear about GeDoSaTo but this is my first time trying it :)

Last post for the night, some images of the lake (4k to 1080p, bars since 16:10 monitor)
Damn, my bad memories of this game made me forget how floored I was by the graphics when it came out. Character designs aside, this is some great art direction
 
hey, how does this game look at 60 frames? is there any 60fps footage online? and can you switch audio languages? I feel like I could give this beautiful ass game another run if I can't hear how stupid everyone is

Ok so nothing I've tried so far will force my GPU to not run at its lowest settings. I've forced it in global and ffxiii game settings via nvidia control panel (prefer max performance). I've turned internal resolution up past 10k x 4k with 8x SMAA and nothing will make my GPU clock higher than 550Mhz. Its a GTX 970 with a boost clock of 1515Mhz in every other game. With that clock setting I can't even hold 720p at at constant 60FPS! I have a ROG Swift and have tried both using and disabling G-Sync- nothing seems to work. Help?

Getting a framerate that is all over the place. Is there a way to set also AMD radeon cards in performance mode as Nvidias?

Alright let's see here.

1080p downsampled from 4k with smAA at 4.
At least I think I set it up properly.
I could get better screens if didn't have to convert to jpeg all the time..but whatevs.



Now to figure out what I can do to improve the frame-rate.

Looks like something is wrong with that, it still looks like 720p and with no AF forced through drivers on top of that.

Here's how 4K downsampled should look.

Aww man, for some reason only the top left corner of my screen looks crisp using GeDoSaTo and the rest of it looks really blurry.

Oh well. No use complaining. Time to donate to Durante and hope he'll have the issue fixed in no time! I do wonder why it doesn't happen for everyone though. Anyone know?

I guess I'll wait to play this.

You need to edit the ffxiii.ini. Press the Profile button in the settings to change and then add your resolution.

When I play this game at 4k I get like 25fps, and it's apparently only using up 50% of my GPU. Shadows of Mordor at 1080p uses up 85% of my GPU. can I fix this?

Hmmm... A lot of menus don't show up for me (R9 270X) when I use it, but OH BABY does it look good. Don't give one shit about the framerate dropping since it was already inconsistent. If we can get the menus working right, this would be spectacular.

Edit: I see the menu fix. Lovely.

Game crashes when I put 1980x1080@60

Anyone know what I should do?
 
Not the best screenshot :p But looks like it's being downsampled now, but do you have an AMD card? I've seen that the lighting is messed up for some people and I think it has something to do with AMD cards.
Radeon 6870.

Figured something was up when I saw nothing but nvidia cards posted in this thread.

I can't play it in this condition. The text-crawl when loading a save-game is completely screwed, the frame-rate is tanked all to hell, and in the upper-left corner there's a faint box (you can kinda see starting about halfway through Sazh's fro).
