Requires ELDEN RING version 1.16, 1.14 or 1.13. Older versions of the game are not supported.
You cannot play in the official online mode while using this. (The mod doesn't affect your save data, however.)
Quick-start:
Prerequisite: Turn on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HwSch) in Windows graphics settings (expect screen tearing and stutters while HwSch is disabled)
Using ERSS-FG standalone (recommended):
Extract the attached file's content to the ELDEN RING\Game\ directory (including ERSS-FG.dll, D3D12.dll and the folder ERSS2). For using alongside ReShade: install the file ERSSReShadeStub.addon to ELDEN RING\Game\
Disable Easy Anti-Cheat, either by putting cmd /c start eldenring.exe & rem %command% into launch options in Steam or by using some other tool. For Steam Deck (Linux) users: cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="eldenring.exe"; WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b;d3d12=n,b;dxgi=n,b" "${cmd[@]}"
Set Resolution in the game's Graphics menu to your target resolution (i.e. your monitor's resolution)
Open the mod's configuration overlay with the Home key, select a Frame Generation and a Super Resolution method, restarting the game is required for turning on Frame Generation.
Using ERSS-FG alongside ReShade (requires ReShade version 6.0.0 or newer, supports FrameGen):
Install ReShade with full add-on support
Install ERSS-FG using the instructions above including the file ERSSReShadeStub.addon
Optionally install my modified version of ReShade to enable rendering effects before UI blending (enable Inject Effects in the advanced settings). ReShadeHEX installer is attached below.
[Deprecated] Using ERSS-FG as a ReShade addon (version 6.0.0 or newer, FrameGen is not supported):
Install ReShade and ERSS-FG following the instructions above
Delete the file D3D12.dll that comes with ERSS-FG
Notes for Wine/Proton users (including Steam Deck, Linux and macOS users):
The mod's overlay may be invisible while running in exclusive full-screen. Workaround: switch to borderless mode, or turn on "Override Full screen state" in ERSS advanced settings before switching to full-screen.
For Mac OS users (or those running the Steam client through Wine instead of using the native Linux Steam client):
Add the file name (excluding the ".dll" extension) of D3D12.dll, ERSS-FG.dll and the files found in ERSS2\bin to the DLL overrides setting in Wine configuration. See wiki.winehq.org and the documentation of your Wine wrapper (Crossover, Whiskey, Bottles, etc.)
Use a different method to disable EAC, don't use the commands above.
Install the Alternative overlay toggle config optional file if you don't have an external keyboard.
Notes about usage with other mod loaders (Special K, EML, ModEngine2, etc.):
The D3D12.dll loader that comes with ERSS should work alongside EML, ME2 and some other mod loaders (except Special K). Don't use other mod loaders unless the previously mentioned methods fail.
Remove the included D3D12.dll file.
ERSS-FG.dll and ERSS2 (folder) must be in the same directory
Make sure ERSS-FG.dll is loaded as early as possible (before or at the same time as the flash-bang)
Steam overlay may refuse to work
For Special K:
Run Special K in service mode
Delete the D3D12.dll file that comes with ERSS unless it's not installed to the game directory.
Add ERSS-FG.dll to Special K plug-in list and set the load order to Early.
Installation: Extract the attached add-on archive files to "ELDEN RING\Game" (add-on DLL files are located in "ELDEN RING\Game\ERSS2\addons")
Remove Frame Time Constraint: Prevents game physics from being slowed down when it's frame rate drops below 20fps.
Known issues:
Flickering global illumination, most visible in shaded areas. (It's caused by either NVIDIA drivers or ELDEN RING itself but made more prevalent by the mod.) Workarounds:
Use the GI Glitch Mitigation options in Advanced Settings -> Frame Generation
Rolling back NVIDIA GPU drivers to version 552.x
Using DXVK + VKD3D (doesn't support DLSS on Windows, it does on Linux however)
Setting Global Illumination to Low can reduce the intensity
Some reported that limiting the game's frame rate below your GPU's capability may reduce the flickering.
Minimizing the game in windowed mode while FSR-FG is enabled crashes the game.
(Unconfirmed as of 4.0) FSR FG + Special K: if Elden Ring's screen mode is set to Full-screen the game will repeatedly try to enter exclusive full-screen mode causing screen flashes.

If you're wondering what I've been doing in the last couple weeks... well... so do I, ahahaha.
I lost a bit of focus, and so I've not been as productive as I'd like to. For that, I apologize.
I started to work on correct pipeline placement for upscaling in NRSS last weekend, when I thought I was gonna take a little break... and ended up doing a pretty shitty job. In short, it'll make a small improvement to VFX and post processing when upscaling is enabled, compared to the simpler upscaling method which is currently in use.
But it's proving to be a very big task (almost everything is broken currently), as I expected, and I might not have the persistence go through with this, especially considering how little of an improvement it makes.
In case you haven't noticed, NRSS is using correct pipeline placement for DLAA and FSR AA and they should look slightly better than the same settings in ER.
And I suppose you're wondering why I'm not doing this on Elden Ring instead. Well... ERSS has evolved into something that is very tricky work with (even for me, who programmed the whole thing), so I decided to develop NRSS from scratch in a more organized way and hopefully I'll be able to adapt it to run on ER once it's finished.
Even though I cannot promise correct pipeline placement will be delivered, I'll continue to work on NRSS and other mods as well, and I'm very grateful for everyone's support. Look forward to my future updates.

Removes the forced post process sharpening filter while in-game.
Update: since hotfix 1 the sharpness slider in the game's settings now controls both the sharpness during upscaling and the sharpening done after post-processing. This mod removes only the post-processing filter (the second sharpening pass) and leaves the upscaling sharpness unaffected.
Installation
Extract the attached file's content (winmm.dll and CustomSharpnessII.asi) to the game directory.
another one for the "who asked for this?" collection.
for whatever reason this game maps both the yaw and roll axes to horizontal aiming and provides no option to change it, which is unlike every other game that supports gyro aiming.
this mod fixes that, hopefully. made it in a couple hours so there might be some issues.
Installation
extract to the 'SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\The Last of Us Part I' directory
Note
While using Steam Input (e.g. on a Steamdeck) the yaw axis is interpreted as roll by the mod, and roll as yaw.
but of course I'll always be here if you need me. I appreciate y'all supporting me very much <3, I always have. So if you run into any issue with the mods I'll try my best to (help you) solve them, even though my ability to do so is a bit more limited now.
Installation: Extract the attached add-on archive files to "ELDEN RING\Game" (add-on DLL files are located in "ELDEN RING\Game\ERSS2\addons")
Remove Frame Time Constraint: Prevents game physics from being slowed down when it's frame rate drops below 20fps.
Notes:
Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling must be turned on in Windows graphics settings or otherwise Frame Generation performance may be degraded.
For Special K users:
Use the included DXGI.dll loader and Special K in service mode, don't add ERSS2.dll to Special K plug-ins list.
Do not set the game's screen mode to Full-screen while Frame Generation method is set to 'AMD FSR'
(Check the ERSS2 post for other quirks)
Known issues:
Flickering global illumination, most visible in shaded areas. (It's caused by either NVIDIA drivers or ELDEN RING itself but made more prevalent by the mod.) Workarounds:
Use the GI Glitch Mitigation options in Advanced Settings -> Frame Generation
Rolling back NVIDIA GPU drivers to version 552.12
Using DXVK + VKD3D (makes DLSS unavailable AFAIK)
Setting Global Illumination to Low will reduce the intensity
Some reported that turning on Ray tracing can make the issue go away.
Game UI color is slightly off & requires manual configuration in HDR.
Cannot be loaded by adding to Special K plug-ins, it can run alongside SK with the included DXGI.dll loader albeit with some issues.
FSR FG + Special K: if Elden Ring's screen mode is set to Full-screen the game will constantly try to reset it's output swap chain causing flashes.
Special K overlay is invisible.

Fixed overlay stuttering from the previous release
Fixed the remaining resource read|write errors
v0.3.89:
Added options to mitigate the shadow flickering glitch (in Advanced Settings -> Frame Generation). A method that reduces some flickering at a minimal performance cost is enabled by default. (FrameGen performance in all cases should still be better than pre v0.3.80)

Lets you inject ReShade effects runtime into certain stages of the game's rendering. Which allows effects to be rendered before the HUD/UI and optionally before tonemapping/color-transform with a better depth & normal buffer.
NOTICE: ERSS-FG should always be used in place of ERSS2, even without Frame Generation on. This is the regular version without Frame Generation and other improvements.
ERSS rewritten from scratch removing ReShade dependency.
Being standalone: the mod no longer depends on ReShade and ReShade API (unless used as a ReShade add-on).
Improvements in performance and stability.
Contrast Adaptive Sharpening option for DLSS.
Intel XeSS integration
Features that are not yet re-implemented:
Modifying DLSS flags (I don't think this is necessary because auto exposure should always be on and HDR already has a global toggle, so it won't be reimplemented unless someone finds a use for modifying the flags).
Quick-start:
To use ERSS2 without ReShade (a.k.a. standalone method, recommended):
1. Extract the attached ZIP file into the 'ELDEN RING\Game\' directory. (ERSSReShadeStub.addon can be removed)
2. Make the game launch without EAC, either by putting "cmd /c start eldenring.exe & rem %command%" (without quotes) in launch options in Steam or by using some other tool. For Steam Deck (Linux-native Steam client) users (requires bash to be set as user shell, which is the default for most distros): cmd=(%command%); cmd[-1]="eldenring.exe"; WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi=n,b;dinput8=n,b" "${cmd[@]}"
3. Set Resolution in the game's Graphics menu to your target resolution (ie. your monitor's resolution)
4. Open the mod's configuration overlay with the Home key and set Scaling Mode to the upscaling technology of your chosing.
To use ERSS2 with ReShade (recommended if you're using other overlay mods):
0. Install ReShade with full add-on support
1. Copy ERSS2.dll, ERSSReShadeStub.addon and the folder ERSS2 from the attached ZIP file into 'ELDEN RING\Game\' (Don't overwrite the DXGI.dll file from ReShade)
2. Follow the instructions in the section above starting at step 2
If you don't have a keyboard or a Home key on the keyboard:
Download the file "erss2-use_this_if_you_cant_press_home.zip" and follow the instructions inside
Notes about usage with other mod loaders (ModEngine2, SpecialK, etc.):
Only use other mod loaders if the standalone or ReShade methods aren't possible
Remove the included dxgi.dll file when adding ERSS2.dll to other mod loaders.
Put ERSS2.dll and ERSS2 (folder) in the same directory
Make sure ERSS2.dll is loaded as early as possible (specifically before or at the same time the flashbang appears)
Steam overlay may refuse to work.
For Wine/Proton users (including Mac, Steam Deck and Linux users):
The mod's overlay may be invisible while running in exclusive full-screen. Workaround: switch to borderless mode or turn on "Override Full screen state" in ERSS advanced settings before switching to full-screen.
For Mac OS users (or those running Steam client through Wine, not the native Linux Steam client):
Add the file names (excluding the ".dll" extension) of dxgi.dll, ERSS2.dll and the files found in ERSS2\bin to DLL overrides in Wine configuration. See https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User's_Guide#Libraries_Settings and the documentation for your Wine wrapper (Crossover, Whiskey, Bottles)
