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 an issue where frame rates above 60 FPS would cause the game to be sped up. This issue was addressed in a June 16, 2021 update with the addition of a 57-58 FPS limit.[4] The framerate can be properly uncapped with a third-party mod, which also fixes other issues.

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[16][17][18]
  1. Download Special K.[Note 3]
    • For compatibility with the latest version of the game (v1.0.3), make sure that the Special K's version is dated after 2023-12-31.[19]
    • Newer versions of the tool may be available from the Special K Discord Server.
  2. Extract the contents into <path-to-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.
Edit INI file to restore the old behavior[20]
  1. Save your game settings at least once.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location, and open drawing_settings.ini.
  3. Set FpsControlDisable = 1 and save the file.
  4. Use an external framelimiter to avoid going above 60 FPS.
Use Special K, which also allows normal gameplay speed at higher framerates[21]
  1. Download Special K.[Note 4]
    • For compatibility with the latest version of the game (v1.0.3), make sure that the Special K's version is dated after 2023-12-31.[19]
    • Newer versions of the tool may be available from the Special K Discord Server.
  2. Extract the contents into <path-to-game>.
  3. Start the game.
  4. By default, Special K will disable the game's frame limiter and use its own 60 FPS lock. To properly uncap the framerate:
    • Press Ctrl+ Shift+← Backspace to open the control panel of Special K.
    • Disable or raise the Framerate Limit.

Notes

In the event of issues with Special K titled as dxgi.dll, renaming it to dinput8.dll may help.
When running the game at high framerates, there are some minor physics problems in some parts of the game.[22].
To restore the behavior of speeding up the gameplay at higher framerates (e.g. for farming), open Special K's control panel and disable High Dynamic Framerate.
Full documentation for the Special K's Radical Replicant plugin, including recommendations when using Nvidia G-Sync, can be found here.
