Revision as of 00:13, 6 January 2024

See Special K for further information and instructions on how to use the application.

General support

Use at own risk in multiplayer games where Special K might have an adverse effect.
This is a general overview of the level of support Special K has for different render APIs, as well as what additional features might be available for each API.
Direct3D refers to the 3D render API of DirectX. In general, the terms 'Direct3D' and 'DirectX' are often interchangeable when discussing games.
Render API Notes
DirectDraw
DDraw 		Requires dgVoodoo 2 to wrap the calls to Direct3D 11.
Direct3D 2-8 Requires dgVoodoo 2 to wrap the calls to Direct3D 11.
Direct3D 9 Basic support as well as texture modding support.
Direct3D 10 Unsupported, although flip model override is known to work in some games.
Direct3D 11 Enhanced support, including HDR injection, texture modding, flip model override, and shader debugging.
Direct3D 12 Enhanced support like D3D11, though no texture mods yet.
OpenGL Promoted to OpenGL-IK (uses an interop system where D3D11 is used for final presentation), which brings enhancements such as flip model and HDR injection.
Vulkan No support, except in HDR enabled modes running on Nvidia hardware, where Special K hooks the Nvidia DXGI/Direct3D 11 interop layer instead.

How to add a new game to the table

The following describes how to add a new game to the below table. It is recommended to use a desktop browser as that makes it more easier to copy/paste.
  1. Start by opening up the following link in a new tab: edit the below section
  2. Now go by the |name = parameter alphabetically to find the appropriate place to add the new game to the list. This is to ensure the list is sorted alphabetically when the page is opened.
  3. Copy the following template and insert it on a new row between }} and {{Special K/compatibility/row so that a new, empty, section gets added: 
    {{Special K/compatibility/row
|name           = 
|render api     = 
|version        = 
|injection type = 
|status         = 
|notes          = 
}}
  4. Fill out the new section something like below. Use comma to separate multiple values. 
    {{Special K/compatibility/row
|name           = Insert game name here
|render api     = Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, OpenGL, etc (multiple are allowed in a comma-delimited list)
|version        = 0.11.0.45 (right click on the DLL file, select Properties, and then open the Details tab to see the version of the DLL file)
|injection type = Local, Global (multiple are allowed)
|status         = Perfect/Good/Major Issues/Crash/Blocked/Caution/Banned (select only one)
|notes          = And additional notes here that might apply (for example, specific config parameter required, or incompatible features or such). Feel free to use multiple rows for this section.
}}

Game compatibility

Use at own risk in multiplayer games where Special K might have an adverse effect.
This is a crowdsourced list of games compatible with Special K. Feel free to edit the section if a game is missing from the list.
Status Description
Perfect For use with games with no known issues with Special K.
Good For games where minor issues or limitations exists. This can for example be games that are only supported by a specific version of Special K, or only through one type of injection (e.g. local and not global).
Major Issues For games where major issues occurs, but can be worked around. Such as crashes on launch that can be worked around by changing a config parameter for Special K.
Crash Game crashes on injection with no way of working around it.
Blocked Game blocks Special K from being injected -- most common in games with anti-cheat protections.
Caution There is conflicting reports whether using Special K results in a ban or not. Use at your own risk.
Banned Using Special K is known to result in a banned account. Do not use Special K with this game.

Online games to avoid

Using Special K in these games can result in an account ban. Use Special K at your own risk.
Game Render API Version Injection Status Additional Notes
Dark Souls III Direct3D 11 Local Caution Current versions of Special K can cause bans if played online, reported that v0.4.0 of Souls Unsqueezed is the latest version that works.[1]

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon - Enhanced Edition Direct3D 9, Direct3D 9Ex 21.3.23.0 Global Good Make sure there are no ReShade DLLs or files inside the install directory; they may cause the game to crash when the main menu is loaded
ADR1FT Direct3D 11 0.11.1.1 Global Perfect
AdVenture Capitalist OpenGL 21.3.23.0 Global Crash Will not get past the boot screen; will hang on boot screen, forcing you to manually terminate the process via task manager

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Direct3D 12 23.9.18.3 Global Perfect
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Direct3D 9 22.8.1 Local Good
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Requires game to be in windowed mode before activating to avoid forced minimizing. No textures in Mod Tools.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Requires game to be in windowed mode before activating to avoid forced minimizing. No textures in Mod Tools.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Requires game to be in windowed mode before activating to avoid forced minimizing. No textures in Mod Tools.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Major Issues Requires game to be in windowed mode before activating to avoid forced minimizing. Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes graphical glitches.
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation Remastered Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Major Issues Requires game to be in windowed mode before activating to avoid crashing. Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes massive additional VRAM usage, tanking framerate. Using SK's framerate limiter causes framerate dips and very inconsistent framepacing.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes massive additional VRAM usage, tanking framerate.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes severe graphical glitches.
Assassin's Creed Origins Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Major Issues Requires game to be in borderless fullscreen, and toggling native HDR off (if it's on it will try to force fullscreen). Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes severe graphical glitches.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Requires game to be in borderless fullscreen. Enabling 8-bit remasters for HDR causes severe graphical glitches.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate Direct3D 11 22.7.29 Global Good Requires [Window.System]DontHookWndProc=true to prevent window glitching, and artifacts when using HDR. Enabling 8-bit or 11-bit HDR remasters causes crashes.
Assassin's Creed Unity Direct3D 11 22.7.26 Global Major Issues Requires [Window.System]DontHookWndProc=true to prevent crashes. Enabling 8-bit or 11-bit HDR remasters causes crashes.
Assetto Corsa Direct3D 11 0.11.1 Global Major Issues Game will crash on startup. You have to disable SpecialK for this game in SKIF, then the game will launch properly, and although there won't be SpecialK overlay in launcher, but it will appear in the game itself.

Also if steering wheel input doesn't work the you need to add EnableDirectInput8=false below [Input.Gamepad] in config for this game, as described in this post. This will be fixed in future SpecialK releases.

HDR tonemapping in this game looks really well and doesn't cause any problems.
Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 OpenGL 23.8.9 Global, Local Good On local injection, borderless options don't work and the Control Panel doesn't appear.

  • Texture caching is fine
Tales from the Borderlands Direct3D 9 23.6.15.2 Global, Local Good While the rendering API is Direct3D 9, if attempting to run with a local install then an error invoking a Direct3D 8 Raw Input call will fail and cause a crash. Installing dgVoodoo 2 and resetting up the local install is sufficient to fix this issue. In my particular config, I only changed forcing windowed borderless mode which caused the error. Requires the use of dgVoodoo 2 to wrap the Direct3D 8 calls to Direct3D 11.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Direct3D 11 22.7.26 Local Good Works perfectly in SDR. When using HDR, applying a resolution override is necessary if not using the initial window's resolution, else the game will only display the part of the frame that fits in that initial window.
