@Prodegy1: Money isn't really a concern or factor in this regard. Kaldaien, the main dev, have basically moved on from the old projects and have no interest revisiting them.

Is it possible to run Tales of symphonia at 60 fps steam version. If it is how much would it cost to develop that
Aemony Mar 3, 2023 @ 8:58am 
It would help in general if you elaborated, as depending on what you've run into it could just be a simple matter of broken functionality or such (older SK tools/mods for example have broken due to game/Steam updates that were released after the SK tool/mod were released).

Though please do so in the official support channels (e.g. on our Discord server) as this really isn't the proper place for it.

@stun: I'm not following what you say at all, but as it stands:

1. This isn't malware or anything of the sort. If you have received malware by installing something "Special K" related you haven't used the official installer/methods.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by "getting shilled by Valve", as the reality is very much the opposite seeing how the main developer of SK semi-frequently gets banned from Steam due to breaking the Steam Community rules and guidelines. If they were "shilling" Special K, they would be doing quite a bad job of it.

3. Regarding "spreading malicious content", see point 1.

4. I'm not sure what you mean by "lying about other groups malicious content" either. You'd have to elaborate on that part as it's not something the SK team have a reason to do to start with.

You should also note that this Steam Group isn't even being used nowadays, so don't expect many posts or comments to arrive here. We can be found elsewhere outside of the Steam platform nowadays.
stun Mar 1, 2023 @ 10:01pm 
it's unfathomable that this malware group are getting shilled by valve instead of deleted for repeatedly spreading malicious content (and lying about other groups malicious content to boot)

does anyone know how to make the ninja gaiden 2 sigma blood mod work
Nowhere_Man Jan 3, 2022 @ 10:23pm 
Special K is not working for me. I've followed all directions from other channels. Epic games is sneaky about this. I'll hold out on this game until a new mod is up.

Aemony Sep 30, 2021 @ 4:50pm 
@Michelle: I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Special K works through DLL files called SpecialK32.dll and SpecialK64.dll. Beyond that we also have two separate frontend apps called SKIF.exe (current) and SKIM.exe (obsolete). From your description, it sounds like whatever you ran is something else entirely.

Or is it possible you've perhaps installed SpecialK64.dll in the Saints Row 3 Remastered folder? If so, please check your game folder for a file called "dxgi.dll" or "d3d11.dll" and if you find it, please remove it. That should remove Special K from that game, if that's what you've installed.
GaijinGamerGirl Sep 30, 2021 @ 3:30pm 
they basically targeting epic.
GaijinGamerGirl Sep 30, 2021 @ 3:30pm 
prevents the game on epic from even running since it disguises itself after restarting your pc as the saintsrow3remastered exe and prevents that exe from being used again.

don't download and use this.

THANK YOU!

https://pastebin.com/MY3q4RER : modules.log

I've used the auto-installer but it just WON'T. I really want this mod to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is that even if the game launches, it won't display the window even if I press ctrl+shit+backspace.

This is just the FAR MOD itself that I downloaded, I tried to keep it simple but the main MOD won't even work for me.

i keep getting error that i need c++ 2015 even tho i have it.

thank you, Special K

I was really excited to play NIER, but then i found out the resolution was WACK.
thanks to you, i can play with a bit more enjoyment :)

Hi guys! Hope someone knows why my FAR mod isn't working in game? The config menu shows up during the load in screen but after the title screen loads the menu can't be called. I pressed the right buttons: ctrl+shift+backspace and even tried ctrl+shift+O but nothing pops up. I put the FAR_Res texture pack in the directory as well, but it doesn't change anything in game. I was told to paste the logs so someone can help me trouble shoot and here they are:

modules log: https://pastebin.com/JzEhzyXT
dinput8 log: https://pastebin.com/ejuBmPBQ

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, I really appreciate the answer! I only tried Special K with the witcher 3, Spyro, and the hunter call of the wild. It is an amazing plugin! I was paranoid because I heard ubisoft titles triggered bans and the Hunter game has a co-op component. None of my games had VAC protection, but I was still paranoid. I am learning and again I appreciate the input. I do try to find the answer to my questions before asking, but I found this subject to have a lot of uncertain answers around.
Aemony Nov 10, 2020 @ 10:12pm 
@Togiya3: Steam's rules, yes. Other game's rules? No.

Don't use Special K in online games where anti-cheat protections might exists as doing so might get your account banned.
Togiya3 Nov 10, 2020 @ 2:46pm 
Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask my question. I have looked and have not found a direct answer.
Can I use this (the special K injector) without breaking any of steams rules or risking a ban? Thanks!
Snakethesniper Nov 10, 2020 @ 6:21am 
Hey hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to run Special K (last stable) on Mass Effect Andromeda (origin - Not steam) but it starts like this and gives me this error:
https://i.imgur.com/abhy2vG.jpeg
And it keeps going from fullscreen to windowed showing it.
It seems to be related to the screen changing resolutions?
I don't know why but Andromeda always start in a windows and actually goes fullscreen when you interact with it
Kaldaien Nov 10, 2020 @ 2:38am 
@White-Knife: Try using the GeForce Experience overlay to unstick the mouse, open that overlay once and close it.
Aemony Nov 5, 2020 @ 9:47am 
@Balthaz: Disable the global injector. If you installed the old SKIM global injector, launch SKIM from the start menu and then right click on its traybar icon and disable "Start with Windows".
Balthaz Nov 5, 2020 @ 8:49am 
That mod fckd up every other games I installed, do somoeone had the same problem ? Any solutions ?
Kaldaien Oct 11, 2020 @ 3:15pm

Cross_Fire Sep 20, 2020 @ 12:50am 
how do you load textures? tried to load but nothing happens just opens the file but after that its still the same
Kaldaien Aug 30, 2020 @ 3:34pm 
Read the title post please. I'm not even supposed to be spending time in this horrific place. If you want to have a discussion about Special K, with me in it, you need to go to the new site.

I'm trying to open "Enderal: Forgotten Stories" with SpecialK but the game won't open. Any fix for that?

Wait what OS are you on for dx9?
Kaldaien Jul 24, 2020 @ 4:12pm 
I'm pretty sure you need another subdirectory in there and cannot just put files in that raw directory. The whole idea is/(was? it's been forever since I have touched D3D9) to try and partition this stuff into texture packs. I don't think I support disorganized single directories with random textures in them.
pepodmc Jul 24, 2020 @ 3:33pm 
What folders i must create to inject textures in a directx9 game? i tried with


SK_Res\inject\textures\streaming\texture hash.dds


But it does nothing

I just read that you had Covid-19. I just wanted to say that I'm glad that you've recovered well.

Hey Kaldaien, I have an update on The Wonderful 101. Please PM whenever you're available!
[SK] Kaldaien Jul 10, 2020 @ 4:11pm 
I don't know how either, sorry. As part of Square-Enix's stupid anti-debug system, they broke support for getting accurate crash logs using debug symbols. It's impossible to diagnose crashes in that game.

Hey Kaldaien, is it possible we can speak in private message? I want to donate a key for The Wonderful 101 Remastered to you in hopes you can give it the Special K treatment. I know you're a busy person but please let me know if you're interested!
Call Yente May 25, 2020 @ 9:53am 
What even prompted me to to run a full scan is that I was listening to Jake Kaufman's (guy that made Shovel Knight's soundtrack) bandcamp & noticed his banner was a link to his website. I guess his lease on it ran out or something because firefox's ublock plugin threw up a warning page blocking the connection. It's weird that Defender flagged it as specifically that nasty uwamson trojan.
Kaldaien May 25, 2020 @ 9:40am 
Not to give the wrong idea here, of course...... I did not pack stuff up to evade anti-virus software :P I have custom .7z decompression code in Special K for streaming textures from .7z files and I decided to re-use the code to shave size off the file.
