Hello, for a small set of people the default configuration doesn't work. (<1%)
I uploaded a version with increased compatibly to the Files section as "dinput8 helper".
Install instructions are the same as default, but rename the SK.dll to dinput8.dll.
Additionally if you only want to use the widescreen fix with this and not the Switch or PS Buttons, you can add a ";" in front of "hook=recommended" to increase performance.
It took me awhile before I managed to make this work. I got confused with the installations, so I'm just going to post a guide:
*Make sure your game is clean, no mods or anything that might conflict.
1. Download the local installation of Special K: https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Custom/Replicant *Open your game and make sure Special K works. 2. Install this and copy everything to your game directory. 3. For ReShade copy only the ReShade's name, e.g. Nier - ReShade Perfect Settings.ini and then the folder "reshade-shaders". 4. If you're using: https://www.nexusmods.com/nierreplicant/mods/8?tab=description you don't have to download 3dmigoto. Just edit your d3dx.ini as stated on the mod's profile then download their PS button mod.
Just wanted to say thank you for the update. This really does help the button icons work. Now the game is prefect. Reshade + Special K + High FPS mod + PS button icons. My Automata has the same mods but with Gshade thank you again.
You add Nier automata.exe to gshade's installer and it pretty much does the same thing as reshade and it downloads all the the sfx stuff for ya. You can also download presets, but as a warning all them are for FFXIV, but some can still make automata look good. I normally use gshade for FFXIV, at the time I had no idea it worked on automata till I saw a steam user confirmed it.
I had to delete the d3d11.dll in order to start my game properly with the PS Buttons working. With the d3d11.dll file, my game just crashes at start. Just saying in case anyone encounters the same problem I had
Hello, I need help. Im using the helper with shader improvment mod, and it works kinda fine. Kinda because I'm having this error everytime I launch Nier replicant for the first time after turning off PC. It happens after the installation of shader improvements, although I think I did everything correct witk SK and NIER little helper. So, the error says 'toggling 'show OSD in video capture ' because the OSD wasn't being drawn...' and then the game freezes and shows only graphic glitches, and then i have to open task manager and close the game. After that the game tends to run just fine, but ocasionaly it happens again after the first time I open it. Besides that, I got another error that I don't know if relates to the other one but, sometimes during gameplay, I get one massage that says Special K warning - unhandled exception (RIP: NieR Replicant ver[...] .exe+008b1b1ah) ignored; Safety not garanteed (!!). It seems that after that the game runs fine... but i fear for ocasional crashes and, when this massage pops up, I save and quit. So i dunno. Can you help me with this 2 problems? Its getting hard to play with this errors.
I tried the dinput8 helper version of the helper and it did fix the issue, but my performance was really compromised, i went for almost 60 everytime to 35-40 fps. So currently i have to pick the broken 60fps version of it or the clean but low performance one. If yu know anything that could help me in this dilemma please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Hey, if you read my username you'll come to the unfortunate conclusion that I already tried to help you on discord.
Adding the ; in front of hook=recommended should increase performance quite a bit when using the dinput8 helper, but this disables the option to use 3Dmigoto for texture modding in Nier:Replicant.
I would try again with ;hook=recommended and see if something was wrong last time, but beyond that there's nothing I can do, I never figured out why the default version isn't working on some systems.
Tried for hours and hours to get the PS4 button mod to work, but I kept getting the unrecognized error for filename and ps-t0. I finally decided to not overwrite the "dxgi.ini" file that was already in my Nier Replicant folder, even though the instructions say to overwrite when prompted, after I realized that the "dxgi.ini" file provided in the download was blank. Voila, everything worked fine.
If anyone else is getting the same error, this might be something to try.
Edit: The game stopped responding to button inputs even though the controller worked on Steam, so I subsequently overwrote the file with the blank file, and then it worked. I'm guessing there's a problem with the sequence of events, but I definitely followed the instructions to a tee. Edit2: Now my buttons don't work again unless I delete all the files.
Hello, please don't mix things up - your controller issues are related to SK itself, if you need help with that please visit #support in SKs discord. Unrecognized Error is related to a mistake while installing the PS4 Buttons.
Please come by #support, I might be around to help you to set this up.
Yes, I realized it was a problem with SK itself when I deleted it the dxgi.dll file. Nevertheless, I did end up getting the ps4 buttons working, but then somehow SK started giving me problems with not reading any the button inputs.
EDIT: Found your message in the discord about setting 'FixDInput8EnumDevices=false' —that did the trick! Murphy's law is forever the bane of my existence.
I had to add the Lines for Reshade and 3Dmigoto in my dxgi.ini under C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\NieR Replicant ver122474487139
I am having the same issue. Followed the steps, even did fresh uninstall/reinstall -> made sure sk worked -> dragged folder contents. When launched the game crashes after a black screen.
Make 100% sure there are no other .dll files in the folder aside from ReShade64.dll, 3Dmigoto64.dll, steam_api64.dll, and dxgi.dll. Now delete dxgi.ini and try again.
If that fails: Delete 3Dmigoto64.dll to check if that's the problem in the chain.
At this time there are 3 mods released for Nier:R I'm aware of that require 3Dmigoto: PS4 Buttons; Switch Buttons - both here on Nexus and Widescreen Fix over on Reddit.

All of this is only for "dinput8 helper"!

Reshade + Special K + High FPS mod + PS button icons. My Automata has the same mods but with Gshade thank you again.
I normally use gshade for FFXIV, at the time I had no idea it worked on automata till I saw a steam user confirmed it.

[Import.ReShade64]
Architecture=x64
Role=ThirdParty
When=PlugIn
Filename=ReShade64.dll
[Import.3Dmigoto64]
Architecture=x64
Role=ThirdParty
When=Early
Filename=3Dmigoto64.dll
PSButtons are now working :)
So for people that have issues, check your profile folder in SpecialK
Now delete dxgi.ini and try again.
If that fails: Delete 3Dmigoto64.dll to check if that's the problem in the chain.
