Essential improvements
HD Texture Pack
Upgrades UI, battle effects, and eye textures to make them more in-line with a modern PC game.
Details of the texture packs are on this link.
Requires the SenPatcher application, which also fixes a number of bugs for the game.
Stutter above 60 FPS
The game's frame pacer have problems with fps above 60 at the point the game will ignore any variable refresh rate technology (Freesync, G-Sync, DisplayPort's Adaptative Sync and HDMI VRR). To solve this just run the latest version of Special K Injection Service found on creator's official Discord channel while the game is being played. No tweaks are needed.
This will fix stutter on FMV, in-game cutscenes and overhall gameplay and will improve latency and inputlag a bit.
