Essential improvements

Neptastic

The game is locked to 1088p internal resolution, 60 fps and has a blurry, always-on FXAA. This mod removes the resolution and framerate locks, removes the blurry FXAA overlay, adds up/downsampling, as well as high resolution shadows and high quality bloom, all of which is fully configurable.
Fixes all the remaining issues with the old Hyperresolution Neptunia mod, such as the blurry FXAA shader and broken tutorial images. Adds many new features as well.
Install the mod
  1. Download archive and extract it into <path-to-game>.
  2. Open nep.ini with a text editor, if you want to change any of the settings.

(Outdated) Hyperresolution Neptunia

Game's resolution options only go up to 1920x1080. With fullscreen game always uses desktop's resolution despite selected resolution option and resolution overall does not go above roughly 1080p.[5][6] This may become problematic for low end machines as resolution is only graphical option to get more performance and high end will get blurry visuals.
With this mod it's possible to force games renderer to use specific resolution. This means it's possible to improve performance with lower values, get better visuals when using desktop's native resolution and use it for downsampling as when using higher resolutions.
This mod may cause certain objects, such as tutorial images, to fail to render on some hardware.[7]
Install the mod[citation needed]
  1. Download archive and extract it into <path-to-game>.
  2. Open gliConfig.ini with preferred text editor.
  3. Change values renderWidth and renderHeight at the top of the file to desired values.
  4. Save the file.

Issues unresolved

Severe FPS drop with Guard Break

This seems to have been the problem since closed beta state and is occurring even on higher end machines. Using Hyperresolution to lower rendering resolution and playing from SSD doesn't fix the issue,[1] but will make the drop last much less.[8]

Game crashing in certain parts

In game parts include entering the "LAN castle" for the first time.
Codecs and codec packs (CCCP, KCP, K-Lite) may be causing issues with the game.[citation needed]
Uninstall all third party codecs[citation needed]
  1. Uninstall all third party codecs.
    • Try to resolve if there's any codec conflicts (e.g. with Microsoft Fixit Codec tool, Codec Tweak tool, InstalledCodec, etc.) and clean registry from possible leftover values (e.g. with CCleaner).
  2. Reboot the machine and try out the game.

Notes

You may also try resetting codec packs settings to defaults.
For some users, this issue seems to be related to some DLC. Playing without DLC solves the issue.[citation needed]

Rainbow textures in dungeons on recent AMD drivers

The developers claim this issue has been resolved as of the 18.2.1 AMD driver release.[9]
Recent AMD drivers break textures in dungeons on most AMD hardware.[10] Driver version 17.7.2 is known to work with re;birth 2.[11]
Downgrading to Radeon Software 17.7.2
  1. Uninstall current graphics drivers if needed.
  2. Install Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2 or older.
  3. Reboot if rainbow textures persist.
Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.7.2 is old enough to cause compatibility problems with other games like Overwatch.
