List of games compatible with Special K
- 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.
- Start by opening up the following link in a new tab: edit the below section
- 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. - 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 = }}
- 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. }}

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. |

Final Fantasy V
OpenGL
0.11.0.45

Major Issues
Neither Special K nor even the Steam overlay can hook the game window properly on a fresh install, in parts because the game ships with a OpenGL32.dll
file from Windows 7 in the game folder. To fix both, that file needs to be removed (this fixes the Steam overlay), then Special K's 32-bit DLL file needs to be installed as OpenGL32.dll
in the game folder instead. After that both Special K and Steam's overlay will work, although launching the game will take about 5-10 seconds longer. Global injection does not succeed in hooking the game at all.[2]
Final Fantasy VI
