This is really awesome, thank you!

Amazing! It doesn't look terrible anymore!

Thanks for this. Not gonna let Krouch live this down.

Now if only we could get rid of the FPS cap. Of course, not essential in a game like this, but things still feel smoother at over 30.

Thank you!

I'm having trouble getting this to work. I copied dinput8.dll to the game folder, but whenever I use 4k resolution I still see that it's being rendered at 720p.

The mod doesn't upscale 2D graphics, only the battle scenes. IMO, since the game is 70% visual novel, you're better off with a real-time AI upscaler like Magpie. The result looks like this[imgsli.com]. See this thread on how to install the upscaler.

It'd be really awesome if there was some way to combine both mods, but alas, you have to choose one over the other.

I've thought about building in something like a shader-based upscaler for those that want that (alongside a revamp of the mod, since I've learned a lot about D3D11 in the past time due to work, and some stuff could use some improving), but I've been too busy with work. I do want to take time to do the aforementioned revamp, since some stuff might be still janky, but don't hold your breath for that.

I compiled the mod from github sources. I see that it doesn't work, because the mod was written for older version of the game binary (prelude, mask of deception, mask of truth) which is no longer available on steam.

To get it to work I would have to find out new function pointers for each game: ```
if (*(char*)0x8F0792 == '2') // deception
{
debugprintf("Game detected: Mask of Deception\n");
Addresses.ResizeWindow = (void*)0x503515;
Addresses.Res3dOverride = (void*)0x42523E;
Addresses.CreateTexture = (void*)0x4F3A9F;
Addresses.Flip = (void*)0x4F48D1;
Addresses.Res3dX = (int*)0x9D7584;
Addresses.Res3dY = (int*)0x9D7588;
Addresses.CreateWorldTexture1 = (CreateWorldTexture1_t)0x4F5AEA;
Addresses.CreateWorldTexture2 = (CreateWorldTexture2_t)0x4F5B69;
Addresses.worldTexture1 = (Kernel_CGraphics_Texture**)0x9D7D78;
Addresses.worldTexture2 = (Kernel_CGraphics_Texture**)0x9D73E8;
return true;
}
```

I'm not sure how to do that. Anyway, that explains why I couldn't get the mod to work.

The games haven't been updated since 2021 though?

You are right, I see no changes in
https://steamdb.info/app/1151450/patchnotes/ https://steamdb.info/app/1149550/patchnotes/

Though, after I enabled debug logs in function
```
bool DetermineGame()
{
if (*(char*)0x91F5AE == '1') // prelude
{
...
}

if (*(char*)0x8F0792 == '2') // deception
{
...
}

if (*(char*)0x91C53E == '3') // truth
{
...
}
debugprintf("Unknown game %c %c %c\n", *(char*)0x91F5AF, *(char*)0x8F0792, *(char*)0x91C53F);
return true;
}
```

I see a log entry: "Unknown game ｫ", for some reason values at those pointers have changed, and the dinput8.dll no longer detects the game (I checked for all 3).

Hmm, I see you're Polish, maybe it's a locale issue, try switching your Windows locale to English (US), as shown here:

Oh, I see, I had the game installed in Japanese, so it was a different binary, the dll loads fine after I switched the game language from Japanese to English.

Unfortunately, the mod only works for English version of the game.

Oh damn, I thought the game used the same binary and just different assets for the languages. I'll try to look into it soon.

Hi, I released a patch of the mod that adds support for the Japanese and Chinese versions of the game, you can download it using the same links on the main topic
