Killing Floor 2

2021-07-23 Version 4.0 Update 

Once again, I've returned to refix Killing Floor 2, which certainly speaks to how much fun it is to occasionally return to and murder some Zeds! This time around, though, this fix is being powered by my currently in-development universal DX11 UE3 fix, and now the game looks better than ever! 

In fact, go ahead and crank ALL those graphics settings because we now have perfect Realtime Reflections, specular reflections now at proper depth, a large improvement on god rays/volumetric lighting, lens flares now correct. Simply put, I believe this game fix can now finally be considered 100% graphically complete, so no better time to jump back in and pop off some heads!

Update History

2021-07-23:  Version 4.0
-Entire remake of fix utilizing in-development universal UE3 fix
-Realtime Reflections (aka SSR) now fixed

-Specular highlights and environmental reflections now at correct depth

-Partial fix for jittering HUD, auto-depth crosshair option added, HUD is now adjustable

2019-02-08:  Version 3.0
-Entire remake of fix due to broken compatibility using regex engine.
-Fixed most broken effects, but did not do much work on refixing HUD as of yet

2016-11-22:  Version 2.0
-Entire remake of fix due to broken compatibility. Converted to using bytecode shader hash in hopes of preventing future breaks
-Additionally fixed sun shafts and specular reflections
-Kept HUD adjustment minimal, only adjusted crosshair to be pushed into depth

3D FIX FEATURES

Fixed via Regex:

Universal UE3 Regexes:

• Halos
• Lighting & Shadows
• Specular Highlights
• Decal Clipping
• General VPM Fix
• GodRays *Updated to include KF2's variants
• Lensflares

Killing Floor 2 Extension Regexes:

• Screenspace reflections
• Environment map reflections
• Additional reflections

UI features:

• Autodepth crosshair, not enabled by default because it depends on Realtime Reflections being enabled in options. Ctrl + F3 to enable autodepth crosshair
• Adjustable HUD depth on all other static elements. F3 to cycle
• HUD can be disable via Alt + F3 key
• 4 gameplay convergence values. F4 to cycle
• Disable keys setup for various screen effects: screen blood, lens flares
• Use of the Help OSD custom shader to provide visual feedback for all 3D fix keys, as well as a help menu that can be pulled up to display the keybindings at any time

Remaining issues:

• Jittering HUD Elements
  Certain HUD elements jitter, as they always have (engine issue).
  I believe this is due to HUD elements utilizing a depth buffer. I had disabled the depth buffer access, which helped eliminate some of the jittering, but the jittering still prevails elsewhere.
• 3D fixes that are regex script based cause stutters when loading new shaders:
  Every time a new shader comes on screen for the first time it gets analyzed by 3DMigoto to see if any regex fix patterns match, which adds a little CPU overhead and unfortunately we are usually CPU bottlenecked already, so we usually see these as sudden frame drops.
  Once the shaders have been seen/analyzed/fixed once, they are cached, so next time they appear they do not need to be analyzed again and instead are loaded instantly, so the more you play the better it gets.
  I've added my own collection of cached shaders to the fix which should help a lot, but there may still be some stutters, especially on any map which I never played yet (I think I've gone through most by now)

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

The Mass Effect original trilogy needs no introduction, so I'll keep this brief. These are great games, very much deserving of remastering (although I wish just a little more was done with the graphics overhaul), and therefore it was a priority for me to make a fix equally deserving of the game's quality and stature. I hope I've provided that, and that everyone enjoys saving the universe from the Reapers once again in glorious 3D! 

3D FIX FEATURES

Fixed via Regex:

Universal UE3 Regexes:

• Halos
• Lighting & Shadows
• Decal Clipping
• General VPM Fix
• GodRays

Mass Effect Extension Regexes:

• Lensflares & ME2+3 3D HUD
• Surface speculars

UI features:

• Autodepth HUD adjustments on all crosshairs, ME1 interaction icons (ME2 and 3 use different icons, and derive depth differently). Can be disabled via hotkey. Reenabling after disabling will require reloading the fix via the F10 key after pressing the hotkey to reenable it.
• Adjustable HUD depth on all other static elements
• 4 gameplay convergence values that can be cycled via hotkey
• Presets to set low convergence during cutscenes and conversations. These can be disabled via hotkey.
• Use of the Help OSD custom shader to provide visual feedback for all 3D fix keys, as well as a help menu that can be pulled up to display the keybindings at any time

Remaining issues:

• Speculars set to surface depth by default:
  Since this remaster is technically just the old games with a fresh coat of paint slapped on, setting specular highlights to proper depth is a little problematic because they are baked into the textures on surfaces, rather than calculated and applied during a lighting shader (like most modern games now do). I do have a fix in place that works well in areas I was able to test in ME1, but many surfaces in ME2 and 3 (and possibly some in ME1 that my testing has not yet found) do not react well, and so I've set a specular depth parameter to allow this to be toggled on and off. By default I've set it 0%, so they will appear at the depth of the surface they are on, which is not visually correct, but never "broken" looking. You can push specular depth to 50% or 100% to enable the fix via a hotkey if you'd like to enjoy correct speculars, but with visual imperfections on an unknown # of surfaces. Or, of course, you can turn it on and off as wanted and needed to maximize the benefit!
• Potential for remaining halos due to regex false positives:
  There have been a couple shaders that are picked up and "fixed" by one of the halos regexes (aka "false positives") due to the common shader code pattern, and because they didn't need a fix in the first place, "fixing" them actually causes a halo. All known cases have already been resolved, but there's likely to be a few more out there.
• Mass Effect 3 crashes at the title screen, and some menu screens for some individuals:
  This is caused somehow by using the 3DMigoto software mouse custom shader. Unfortunately the only known solution is to not use this feature. A workaround is included in the fix for this issue, please see instructions below.
• 3D fixes that are regex script based cause stutters when loading new shaders:
  Every time a new shader comes on screen for the first time it gets analyzed by 3DMigoto to see if any regex fix patterns match, which adds a little CPU overhead and unfortunately we are usually CPU bottlenecked already, so we usually see these as sudden frame drops. Once the shaders have been seen/analyzed/fixed once, they are cached, so next time they appear they do not need to be analyzed again and instead are loaded instantly, so the more you play the better it gets. All of my fixes are, and will always be heavily regex scripted (when given the choice), so that's the price to pay for enjoying 3D with one of my fixes. Besides, we all know we'll all be playing these games more than once, right? 2nd and 3rd playthroughs will be so much more wonderful and smooth with a full shader cache!

INSTRUCTIONS

Download: Mass Effect 3D Fix Version 1.0

Installation:
Extract zip file to EACH of the trilogy game's Win64 subfolder, so for Mass Effect 1 you would need to install to: ..\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64

For Mass Effect 2, to: Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\Binaries\Win64

... and so on for ME3: Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME3\Binaries\Win64

Yes, extract this same fix 3 times, once for each game in it's respective folder.

**Mass Effect 3 Crash Fix**
If you experience crashes while playing Mass Effect 3, you can resolve them by running the included "ME3CrashFix.bat" file once. This will disable the software mouse cursor feature. Re-running the file will revert back to the original state and restore the software mouse cursor. 

For myself, personally, I have only experienced the crash on the ME3 title screen. Loading Mass Effect 3 using the "Resume" option from the Mass Effect launcher (an existing savegame is needed for this) skips the titlescreen and thus also skips the crash, so I only needed to use the crash fix for my first time ever loading ME3, and then once I had a savegame made I reverted back to have the software mouse cursor.

Game settings:
All settings work, though I personally do not like Ambient Occlusion in ME1 (causes what looks like floating shadows around objects), but that's totally a personal preference, stereo wise they are correct as far as I can tell. I also recommend turning off Motion Blur in ME2 + ME3.

Keybindings:

Key                                 Function

F1: Displays Help OSD, which shows all keybindings in-game

F2 or Shift + F2: Cycles through 4 different settings for gameplay convergence

Ctrl + F2: Disables all automatic convergence presets

F3 or Shift + F3: Cycles through 5 different settings for HUD depth

ALT + F3: Disables autodepth on HUD elements

CTRL + F3: Disables the HUD

F4: Specular depth adjustment, 3 settings: Surface depth (0%), half depth (50%), and full depth (100%). Set to 0 by default due to breaking on certain surfaces

F6 : Lens flare effect on/off toggle

F7: Depth of field effect on/off toggle. Warning: Should only be used temporarily, eg. screenshots. Leaving DOF disabled causes severe distortion with camera movement

***Warning: Mass Effect 1 Keybindings Conflict***

ME1 has the weapon select keys on F1 through F4 which conflicts with the chosen keys above. For regional keyboard compatibility, and because ME2 and ME3 do not conflict, I am choosing to keep the above keys as they are and people that play with KB+M should either change their keybindings to set those weapon select keys to other keys, or if you wish to change the above keys used by this fix to other keys you may do so by editing the ShaderFixes\MassEffect_Fix.ini file.

- HUD/UI
- some issues with the horizon
- ground texture flickering of decals/objects
- suitible fix settings to make the game working fine
- auto convergence
- crash/fps fix
- added EAC bypass (EAC bypass by: [CoRe] Gaming (https://discord.com/channels/721829299216318588/828133608380170280))
- make EAC bypass working with 3D-Vision

ISSUES LEFT:

- Some reflection issues at the side of the screen
- Missing reflection information behind characters leads to barely visible mono rendering arround it, THIS is also visible in 2D
- Game will crash if you return to desktop or anything causes a desktop switch like launcher etc. overlays

• or download it from below and EXTRACT the archives files to the game install folder: ...\GAMEINSTALLFOLDER\Madness\Binaries\Win64\
• start 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd (MANDATORY!)
• let the script do somethings!
• once done, the script is installing the AA/AO things and the EAC fix, you can start the game via the script press KEY 0 in quick menu,

 
2. Starting the Game and Ingame-Setup:

- START the game 

• use start_W3D.cmd
• start it with 00_UE4-UniversalFix-2_Config.cmd and press key 0, thats the secure way ^

- Set FULLSCREEN in the game options

• If 3D will not work, try ALT+ENTER and ALT+ENTER again, or STRG+T

- Additional In-Game Settings:

• if you want the auto depth HUD working, do not disable the minimap!
  
  

3. Key Assignments in the Game:

• everything you can do is written in the OSD in game
• HIGHLY remommeted NOT to change settings except AutoConvergence/AutoDepth HUD things. The game is configured well. DO NOT CHANGE any troubleshooting option!

4. Problems?:

• PLEASE provide detailed information about the ERROR you got, as well as information about your hard (GPU) and software (driver/windows version) setup
