Essential improvements
HD Texture Pack
- Improves the UI, battle effects, and eye textures.
- Requires SenPatcher which fixes a number of bugs, all of which are customizable.
Stutter above 60 FPS (Special K)
- Frame pacing and stuttering issues exist above 60 FPS and variable refresh rate technologies are unused by default. Launching the game through the Special K Injection Frontend fixes this issue without any tweaks required.
- Using
SKIF %COMMAND%
as a launch parameter after installing Special K will automate this process.
