Set AA with Nvidia Profile Inspector[4]
|
- Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector.
- Add a profile for the game.
- Set Antialiasing compatibility to one of the following:
0x00001241 for MSAA0x000012C1 for SGSSAA, OGSSAA or HSAA0x000012C1 for a higher quality 4x SGSSAA that may require more performance.
- If using either SGSSAA option, set Antialiasing fix to On
- Set Antialiasing - Mode to the desired option.
- If only applying MSAA, do not set anything in the Antialiasing - Transparency Supersampling field with this flag; it will either break shadows or make the image very blurry. For SGSSAA the same field must instead be set to the corresponding SGSSAA option to work.
- Click Apply to save your changes.
Notes
- For the high quality 4x SGSSAA, it's important to disable SSAO in game for this. Otherwise the image is blurry and performance tanks.[5]

VR support[edit]
Issues unresolved[edit]
Display resolution tied to shadow and depth of field sharpness[edit]
As the display resolution increases above 1280x720 so does the sharpness of shadows and depth of field blur. Using high resolutions results in razor sharp shadows and a lack of depth of field blur. This can make cutscenes look odd or ugly. Example 1, Example 2
Issues fixed[edit]
Run the game at screen refresh rate[edit]
- Game defaults the monitor's refresh rate to 60 Hz when using fullscreen display mode. This can result in screen tearing on high refresh rate monitors using G-Sync or FreeSync.
|
Upgrade game from D3D9 to D3D9Ex
|
- Extract
SpecialK32.dll from Special K (0.8.65) to <path-to-game> and rename it to d3d9.dll
- Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
- Open
<path-to-game>\d3d9.ini
- Change
ForceD3D9Ex=false to ForceD3D9Ex=true under [Render.D3D9]
- This is preferable to full-screen exclusive mode for variable refresh rate displays.
|
|
Set screen refresh rate[6]
|
- Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
- Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
- Open
<path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\Bayonetta\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
- Change
RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
|
|
Use borderless window mode
|
- The in-engine 60fps limit still applies but variable refresh rate monitors with >60Hz can synchronize properly.
