FF13Fix VS IGCS-GITC

The ports aren't perfect, but the only mod you really need is FFXIII Fix for XIII and XIII-2. Lightning Returns is fine from my memory.

I prefer using this on PC and Deck for smooth gameplay: https://github.com/rebtd7/FF13Fix/releases

If you apply FF13Fix you can make the game run pretty much perfectly at 60 FPS and nearly perfectly above 60 FPS (characters' lips desync in cutscenes unless you cap to 60).

The most important factor when it comes to getting a decent framerate on the PC version is your single core CPU performance. The GPU doesn't have a big influence. What that means for laptops goes beyond my understanding, but what I can do is recommend is the FF13 Fix. This is a fan made fix, that helps with framerate and some other minor bugs. It even allows you to exceed 60fps, but I would avoid that since the game can behave weirdly above 60.

I tried with FF13Fix but it still didn't fix the overall framerate. Oddly enough, when I tried it in Windows, it crashed all the time. With Linux / DXVK, a got a little better performance (after it compiles the shaders of course).

If you are running on PC, you can use this mod from Ghostinthecamera and Skall.

The 1st one was a screenshot by Samiya from this thread on Resetera (I tried making a similar one but just couldn't get the lighting right). The whole thread has a bunch of really good screenshots. #2, #4, #7, #9, #10 are my screenshots, #3, #6 & #8 are from the FMVs and I can't remember if #5 is mine or Samiya's. All the screenshots were taken with HD mods using Ghostinthecamera and Skall's free camera mod.

Thanks! First you need the free cam app from GitHub: https://github.com/ghostinthecamera/IGCS-GITC/releases/tag/DR2v2.11

If you want to tinker around with it, you can download it here.

Try this: Dirt Rally 2.0 Replay Camera Mod It's been working great for me so far.

Check out some of the screenshots that was taken thanks to Ghostinthecamera and Skall's recently released Photomode that really makes the game pop: https://imgur.com/a/nDIhrdB

There are two PC mods mainly at play here. The first is HD Models+ which significantly improves the look of 6 main character models. The 2nd is a camera mod by ghostinthecamera shown to me by a really nice user on Steam. The camera mod allows you to stop time, then move the in-game camera around for angles and views you wouldn't normally see. It seems a bit finicky as it crashes my game on one PC, but works fine on another. I've been having a lot of fun with it and you can get some really gorgeous screenshots. It only works for the base XIII game though (I'm pretty sure). It was kind of a mistake to take the pictures at Taejin's Tower as the focus goes in and out as part of the game in this area, but it still didn't turn out too bad.
