Introduction
Hi everyone, I start this project to upscale video quality to 4K using Gigapixel.
Nier Automata video size is 1600x904 pixeI and quality is poor. So I propose to upscale to improve this.
When I realized how slow this could be, 4 days with no stop just to upscale, I called for volunters to help me do this huge work and after all we get the 158 vids at 4K resolution and 60FPS.

What we want[viewsync.net]

But due Nier Automata limits, 4K video resolution wasn't allow, so we had to find the resolution limit, it was FullHD, so we scaled all video files from 4K to 1080p and the results are this beauty.

Please, select 1080p 60FPS to see the real quality.

How to use it?
After download video files, extract them and just overwrite content at
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NieRAutomata\data\movie\"

Then, to see at 60FPS you need to install FAR
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/SpecialK_Mods/discussions/3/1334600128973500691/

With FAR installed, run the game and press Ctrl + Shift + Backspace to bring up the in-game FAR UI. From there you can check the box "Remove 60 FPS cap". Make sure the box next to it, "Use busy-wait for capped FPS" is UNchecked. Then you'll see 60 FPS cut

Hi there, I am doing a similar upscale for Alien Isolation, but the .USM files (created from .tga in scaleform) do not play in game. May I ask how you were able to convert upscaled cutscenes sucessfully into the game? Scaleform is proving very prohibitive!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated, feel free to DM me on steam or nexusmods.

Thanks!

For anyone looking for 60 fps cutscenes with perfect source quality and no artifacts/flickering here is a preview of my project using a new technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70AZJ26Pu7o I will be uploading all the files on NexusMods soon.

I have it, I don't why happens, I saw it with vidsquid vids as well

@Hewell Do you know if there's a way to fix the artifacts at the bottom? And did you have them when playing?
Hewell  [author] 12 Jan, 2021 @ 11:45am 
Sorry about that, I'm not going to update it anymore

I have the same problem as バカ. I followed this guide: https://www.nexusmods.com/nierautomata/mods/29?tab=description and I used these AI upscaled cutscenes. Every cutscene looks like garbage with tons of artifacts, especially at the bottom. Any ideas?

Now there are some black artifacts flickering at the bottom in each cutscene. They are especially visible when the camera is moving. Is that normal? Or do I have to check/uncheck something in FAR to fix this?

Crashes on start immediately after uncapping 60fps, have you tried this recently?

I don't understand you @Rosminn, aren't you capable to play with it?

Straight up crashes on launch. Cool.
