Devil May Cry HD Collection is a game in the Devil May Cry series and includes remastered versions of Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.

A controller is recommended as keyboard support is bare bones, and there is no mouse support in-game.

Devil May Cry 1 is missing some video effects (like motion blur, depth of field) and has audio bugs.

Devil May Cry 3 has various effects weakened (such as motion blur, ghosting, and depth of field) and textures lack transparency. See shu_bham and cheburat0r's fixes and DMCHD Collection Helix Mod for restoring most textures. There are no mods for restoring Greed's bloom on the top portion of the coffin, Nevan's cutscene eye flashing, or the sign's flickering at the end for example.

DMC3 TEXTURE PACK by pepodmc

Some of the textures, Dante's bangs, Mission 7's Moon, Mission 20's demon world gate have been fixed.

Many others have been replaced with textures taken from Devil May Cry 4, changing the look significantly.

DMC1 TEXTURE PACK by TheGrimm_85

Most textures have been upscaled

Many have been replaced with very different, and sometimes lower detail, textures

DMC3 High frame rate

Use DDMK[citation needed]

Once DMC3 is running, press Ctrl+D to open the DDMK menu. Search for the menu entry Speed and set Main value to either 0.5 for 120 FPS or 60 divided by desired framerate for arbitrary FPS value. Example: {{{1}}}, thus 0.5 would be the Main speed. Search for the menu entry System and set Frame Rate accordingly. Close DDMK menu and values will be applied automatically. Notes Selecting borderless windowed mode in the DMC HD launcher is recommended. Use graphics drivers to force screen refresh rate in exclusive fullscreen or see Run the game at screen refresh rate for alternative solution. Arbitrary framerate values such as 144FPS have not been tested but should be possible. Using 120FPS as primary example for game logic stability. Physics puzzles get harder to solve (for example, the two spheres puzzle in Mission 16).

Issues unresolved

Devil May Cry 1 crashing on AMD Phenom/Athlon CPUs

Several users are reporting that Devil May Cry 1 will not run on AMD Phenom processors due to a lack of SSE4.1 support.

DMC 2 and DMC 3 SE do not appear to have this problem.

The AMD FX lineup is not affected.

Issues fixed

The game/launcher won't launch

Install DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) and the latest Visual C++ Redistributable.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Override refresh rate set by game
Download Devil May Cry HD Collection 3D Vision Fix. Extract the contents to the installation folder. Open d3dx.ini and go to the [Device] section. Uncomment the line ;refresh_rate=60 by removing the ; from the line and change value to 120 or higher depending on the display's refresh rate.

Devil May Cry 3 text appearing irregularly

Mostly happens to AMD Graphics Drivers.

Regular text and subtitles may appear with garbled text underneath.

Set dmc3.exe to run in compatibility mode to Windows 7

DMC3 16:9 widescreen menus mod by Vain

Changes the look of the main menu screen by making the background black instead of white.

Replaces nearly all menus in DMC3 with widescreen versions

Replaces the Style part of Dante's HUD with one closely inspired by DMC4's Style HUD for better support of Style Switcher play in DDMK: the game's original HUD can be retained by not copying over the file id100.pac.

Does not replace the Bloody Palace results or tutorial messages with widescreen versions, and some of the menus such as the Mission Clear images and map cannot be changed.

DMC3 Transparency, Hell Eye, and Moon Texture Fix

Includes cheburat0r fixes for the pixelated Hellgate Eye texture in Mission 20 and moon texture.

Can be used with the Helix Mod/DDMK by extracting the files to <path-to-game>\data\dmc3\GData.afs (a folder created upon launching DMC3 with DDMK installed, or a folder that can be manually created).

DMC3 Antialiased Movies (shu_bham)

While most of DMC3's cutscenes are in engine, some were prerendered with in-game assets and were not re-rendered or upscaled for the HD release

Decreases the jaggedness of these scenes to better upscale for HD displays while decreasing file size of the movies.

Install by extracting the files to <path-to-game>\data\dmc3\Video and overwriting

DMC3 Coat Color and Face Fix (in-game)

Makes the ingame DMC3 Dante better resemble the cutscene model.

Makes Dante's standard Coat match the cutscenes' colors and detail (by shu_bham).

Install by extracting the files to <path-to-game>\data\dmc3\GData.afs

An upscaled pre-rendered movie of DMC1 (TheGrimm_85)

The DMC1 pre-rendered movie has been upscaled to 720p.

Install by extracting the files to <path-to-game>\data\dmc1\Video and overwriting

Only the English version has been upscaled.

Lowered bitrate, lowered field of view

DMCHD Collection Helix Mod

3D Vision fix for Devil May Cry HD Collection meant to be run with Special K.

Provides updated texture injection and includes toggles for cutscene black bars, depth of field, bloom, ghosting, etc., with rebindable keys.

This pack includes high-res menu artwork, high-res moon, Dante hair transparency fix, and launcher fix for DMC3. Details about the hi-res artwork and texture changes can be found in this Steam discussion thread.

Does not fix the lack of texture transparency for Lady's bandage.

The part of the mod that enables the toggles conflicts with DDMK.
