Nioh 2: The Complete Edition, or Nioh 2, is an action RPG developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo.

Nioh 2 serves as both a prequel and a sequel to the first game, with some key differences from its predecessor. These include a character creator, as opposed to a predefined protagonist as seen previously, and the addition of supernatural yōkai spirit forms and abilities.[1] It also sees the return of cooperative multiplayer with the new addition of summoning other players' characters as AI-controlled allies.[2]

The game released on February 5, 2021 and is available from the Steam platform. The PC version was announced via the game's official Twitter account in November 2020, and detailed features such as full keyboard and mouse support, HDR, ultra-widescreen display and high frame rate support. All of the downloadable content available for the original console release is included, alongside the PC-exclusive "Valve Helmet" armor piece.[3]

Reviews around the game's release date praised the quality of the game's conversion to PC, however, there was criticism related to instances of poor performance of particle rendering, and little improvement in graphical fidelity over the original console release of the game.[4][5]

The developers indicated that future updates for the game would include keyboard and mouse button prompts and Nvidia's DLSS technology, with the latter arriving in an update in the weeks following the game's release.[6][7]

Issues unresolved

Game slows down at low frame rates

The game speed slows down when the frame rate drops below 30 FPS.[13][14]

Issues fixed

Frame rate drops during combat

Frame rates during combat encounters may see drops depending on the amount of particle effects on screen.[15][16][17]
Set the Effect Quality setting to Low.[18]

Boss AI difficulty increase at high framerates

Some of the boss AI (such as Lady Osakabe) exhibits increased difficulty through spamming ranged attacks at 120FPS mode.

This issue has been confirmed to affect bosses such as Kasha, Ryomen Sukuna, Gyuki, Kashin Koji.

Set the in-game frame rate cap to 60.

Low FPS on Nvidia graphics cards

Nvidia GPU users may experience lower frame rates compared to equivalent or weaker AMD GPUs.[19]
Set the in-game frame rate cap to 60.[20]

Game crashes to desktop on Windows 7

Create support file[citation needed]
  1. Go to %WINDIR%\System32\.
  2. Create a copy of xinput1_3.dll and rename it to xinput1_4.dll.

Low quality textures when using DLSS

Nioh 2 mistakenly uses the lower DLSS rendering resolution to determine which mips to display
Manually modify LOD bias[21]
  1. Open Nvidia Profile Inspector
  2. Within the Profiles drop-down menu, select "Nioh 2 The Complete Edition"
  3. Under the "4 - Texture Filtering" section, modify the "Texture filtering - LOD Bias (DX)" value (by default, 0.0000) to -0.5000 (or any other negative value of your choice)
  4. Modify the "Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias" value to "Allow"
  5. Select "Apply changes"

    Only common 16:9 and 21:9 resolutions are listed in-game. At 1440p the following resolutions are listed: 1280x720, 1600x900, 1920x1080, 2048x1152, 2560x1080 (ultrawide), and 2560x1440. Forcing a 16:10 ratio in Windows does not affect this.

    Editing the configuration file to set the cap higher than 120 causes the graphics settings to reset to their default values even when set to read-only.

    This can be an issue on older GPUs since the game is heavy on them, especially when lots of effects are on screen. A good testing area is the fight with the Gozuki early into the game since a few of its attacks cause frame rate to plummet in my testing on a GTX 1070.

    Patch 1.25.1 fixes the previous drops but it can still occur to a lesser extent. Again, setting to Low clears them up.

    After a bit more of testing I found out something interesting, the 120 fps cap in-game is interfering with the fps.
    When playing at 3440x1440 (with 120fps cap) standing with my new character in front of the weapons I was getting 45fps but if I cap the fps at 60 I get a constant 60fps at the exact same spot.
