NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a remaster of an action RPG game in the NieR series originally released in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was originally developed by Cavia and remastered by Toylogic. Both the remaster and the original have been published by Square Enix. The game is a predecessor of NieR: Automata.[2][3]

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... launched with issues where framerates above 60FPS would cause the game to be sped up. This issue was addressed in a June 16, 2021 update.[4] Many other outstanding issues are fixable with a third-party mod.

Issues fixed

Performance issues / Mouse on-screen when using gamepad / Input detected when using Steam Overlay

Use Special K to fix various issues and improve performance[15][16]
  1. Download the customized version of Special K.
  2. Extract the contents into <path-to-game>.
  3. Start the game.

Notes

In the event of issues with Special K titled as dxgi.dll, renaming it to dinput8.dll may help.

Framerate limited to 57~58 FPS

At launch, framerates could exceed 60 FPS but would result in sped up gameplay. A later update implemented a 60 FPS lock, which resulted in an odd 57~58 FPS limit.
Use Special K for Proper 60 FPS Lock[17][18]
  1. Download the customized version of Special K.
  2. Extract the contents into <path-to-game>.
  3. Start the game.
  4. Temporarily change any setting in the Graphics menu, save the changes, and close the game.
  5. Open %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139\Steam\{SteamID}\drawing_settings.ini in a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.
  6. Change FpsControlDisable=0 to FpsControlDisable=1.
  7. Save the file and restart the game.

Notes

In the event of issues with Special K titled as dxgi.dll, renaming it to dinput8.dll may help.
Special K's configuration comes with a 60 FPS lock configured by default.[19]
If using Nvidia G-Sync, additional configuration is recommended:
  1. Launch the in-game Special K Control Panel by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Backspace simultaneously.
  2. Click on >Advanced to the right of Framerate Limit and enable Nvidia Driver Black Magic.
