I am still getting crashed to the the desktop randomly when the battle animation starts. It seems to happen more often the higher the downsampling resolution is set to. I played a few hours of 1080p yesterday with no downsampling and it finally ran without crashing. Then I started it up again today and the first battle the game crashed. It's really annoying and I cannot figure out the reason (AMD 7950, i5-3570k).

Are you using a third party program to monitor FPS or anything? I was having all sorts of crashes/random graphical issues just from running RadeonPRO but it's been playing flawlessly since.
For me it was caused by shadowplay as soon as I turned that off no more crashes.
You could use a post.fx file to achieve that. You can find it in the GeDoSaTo/assets/DX9 folder. Copy it, paste it into GeDoSaTo/configs/ffxiiimg folder, then edit the post.fx file to enable one of the options that allows for brightness adjustment.
GeDoSaTo got updated to build 1602, anyone know what is changed? No changelog on http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/ yet.
Nothing specific to FF13.
You can always check latest commits here. https://github.com/PeterTh/gedosato/commits/master
That's weird. I updated earlier and was playing Final Fantasy XIII fine with it.

lol, maybe if you were using like, an nvidia 5/6 series card.
Haven't seen odd numbers like 5/6 multisamples for a decade
The eyeliner thing is caused by drivers forcing AA (or forcing it off), make sure in your nvdia control panel /inspector (or amd equivalent) that you have the aa options set to application controlled.
That worked great. Thanks for the advice.

I just wanted to thank Durante, like others have, for this. Dark Souls PC was saved by your work. I don't have FFXIII but it's great you're applying yourself to help others out again.

The problem is the actual implementation of the self-shadowing in the engine. Nothing we can do or Durante can do.

If I had the harddrive space on my similarly specced laptop I'd give it a go. I'd imagine you should be able to at least get your laptop's native res running without too much issue.
I wish I could figure out the trick to running at 60fps. Sometimes it works fine.
I decided to switch to 1920x1080 from 4k last night, just to see, and it managed to start running at 60fps even in battles and the UI activated. The game eventually crashed and upon restart, was no longer 60fps in battles.
It's a shame. 60fps looks so much better.

Sorry if this has been asked a dozen times. Is the screenshot function borking out at anything nearing the 6K region and beyond something that might be fixed, or should I just make peace with it?
I'm actually discouraged by that patch. The fact that after two weeks, all they could muster was a fix that should have taken five minutes does not instill me with confidence. They chose to address that absolute least of the problems this port has. Expect more inconsequential fixes. I'll happily admit I was wrong if they announce major fixes.

'all this time' is 2 weeks. If there is a deeper technical issue causing the slow downs, it's going to take longer than that if they even plan on fixing it at all.

I'm well aware of how long the game has been out. Two weeks since release their first update features a notification upon pressing the escape key. No changes to the game launcher to allow resolution changes nevermind in-game options. Their communication is also abysmal.

they can't even learn how to make this an option?
Arc the Lad came out in 1995 and had an option to turn off a confirmation for any kind of action if you didn't want it.
And that was a console game.
So my native res is 1920 x 1080 (only at 30fps) and I have it set that way in GeDoSaTo but a lot of the text has jaggedy edges, i find that i can only get rid of it by going to higher resolutions, which impacts my frames in the process. anyway to get around that?
edit: someone suggested using bicubic scaling earlier in the thread but no difference when I enable it, compared to bilinear. Also, is there a way to cap this at 30fps?

Only way to get around it is to play 720p native or downsample. Flat out no other way to fix it.

DoF works fine. (Is low res, but is at least pretty damn stable)Framerate on the other hand.

IN regards to low resolution 2D elements.
when it comes to a past Durante fix like Deadly Premonition for example, DPFix has an option to force 16xAF
, when disabled you get the effect like in FFXIII, (Even if 16xAF is forced from GPU drivers).
But if you force 16xAF, it seems to apply it to these 2D surfaces
I wonder if something similar could be done for FFXIII

Code:
# texture filtering override
# 0 = no change
# 1 = enable some bilinear filtering (use only if you need it!)
# 2 = full 16xAF override (may degrade performance, best quality)
filteringOverride 0But if you force 16xAF, it seems to apply it to these 2D surfaces

This is pretty funny.
I just added exactly that option (more or less) to GeDoSaTo for exactly that reason (FF13 HUD), but I hadn't even read your post before that. Anyway, yeah it works. Not quite native res UI, but at least less terrible.

Thanks as always, the fonts looked like poo at 1920x1080 and at 2.5k and 4k I was having other issues (2.5k has this weird diagonal slice through the image and 4k is just a bit too much for my system to stay at 30fps).

haha, well i'm glad you ended up thinking about it. It's not native no.
But it looks miles better than the shitty non-filtering it received without. (Or nearest neighbor, which is what it looks like to me)
There are lots of other PC games that are console ports or something that suffer the same issue. It's pretty annoying. One recent one I can think of is Final Fantasy IV, runs on OGL. Has the intro video from the DS game in 720p. But is scaled via nearest neighbor (Or Point filtered I guess since you point it out) or someshit if you run at anything other than 720p. (Where as if you upscale the video using MPC-HC it scales perfectly)
Forcing MSAA+TrSSAA fixes the issue with that game. But ridiculous none the less
Speaking of Deadly Premonition though, I can't even get the game to run. Regardless of using DPFix or not.
Tried adding blacklist for LAV and what not. Didn't work. I really don't want to uninstall MPC-HC, MadVR and LAV just to play the game. Are really a pain to get setup correctly.

Did you try the physx related stuff? The game was immediately crashing for me until I reinstalled and then repaired the physx redist that comes with the game. Didn't have to uninstall MPC-HC or anything like that.
Can you go into more detail? You started up the uninstaller for PhysX and chose the repair option?
I'm in the midst of watching Twin Peaks and can feel a hankering for some Deadly Premonition building up.
I don't remember exactly, but I think I went to the redist folder which is like \SteamApps\common\Deadly Premonition The Director's Cut\redist, launched the PhysX installer and reinstalled it. That didn't help. I then launched the installer again, but this time I used the repair option. And that did the trick.
The problem is that you may not be able to use the installer that comes with the game if your PhysX is newer already. I don't know if repair install with the latest PhysX would have done the trick.
There's a lot of advice on the OP of this thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=706035

Yeah I tried the repair option.
Mine specifically crashes AT or after the intro video.
I have the latest Nvidia version of PhysX installed and the Legacy Driver for older titles.
I have thought about uninstalling MPC-HC/LAV and what not. But I REALLY dont' want to. No matter what I did, creating a blacklist in the registry didn't work at all. (As well didn't even have listings for LAV in the locations mentioned by various guides. Probably because didn't install it via an installer >_>)
Changing compatibility does nothing as well
