DBZK_Fix is a maintained Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot mod/fix focused on Linux, Proton and Steam Deck compatibility while preserving the original Windows feature set.
This fork removes the 60 FPS cap, supports 21:9 ultrawide / 16:10 / 4:3 aspect ratios, provides FOV and camera tweaks, and reworks the UE4SS initialization flow to reduce crashes caused by accessing Unreal Engine objects before they are ready.
If you are looking for a Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Linux fix, Kakarot Steam Deck mod, Kakarot FPS unlock, Kakarot ultrawide fix or a more stable DBZK_Fix build under Proton, this repository is intended for that use case.
- Removes the game's 60 FPS cap during gameplay.
- 21:9 ultrawide, 16:10 and 4:3 aspect-ratio support.
- Optional motion-blur disable.
- Temporal AA / upscaling tweaks.
- FOV and camera adjustments.
- Reapplies framerate-related settings during game/cutscene transitions.
- Safer UObject validation.
- Deferred Unreal Engine object initialization.
- Safer UE4SS hook and callback handling.
- Improved Linux / Proton / Steam Deck stability.
- Steam Deck / SteamOS
- Linux + Proton
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
Windows support is expected because the mod still uses standard UE4SS Lua APIs and does not depend on Linux- or SteamOS-specific paths or commands. It should still be considered not yet revalidated on Windows until tested there directly.
The original DBZK_Fix could perform several Unreal Engine operations very early during startup. Under Proton and Steam Deck, some required Unreal objects may not yet exist or may not be valid, which can lead to access violations and crashes.
This fork changes that behavior by:
- Waiting for relevant Unreal Engine objects before modifying them.
- Validating UObjects before use.
- Delaying FPS changes until a valid
ATCheatManageris available. - Avoiding the original immediate
Fix()call during startup. - Running sensitive changes at safer points in the Unreal lifecycle.
- Correcting UE4SS hook parameter handling where required.
- Preserving the original framerate, FOV, camera and graphics functionality.
The goal is to keep DBZK_Fix useful on Windows while making it more robust on Linux, Proton and Steam Deck.

For the original non-HD version, extract the release ZIP into:
DRAGON BALL Z KAKAROT/AT/Binaries/Win64/
The base version has not yet been revalidated with this fork.
No extra DBZK_Fix-specific setup should normally be required.
The mod is designed to wait for the required Unreal Engine objects instead of assuming they are already available during startup.
Configuration continues to use the existing Config.ini.
The framerate section controls FPS-unlock behavior, including:
- Maximum FPS.
- Fixed or variable framerate mode.
- VSync interval.
Other graphics options remain available where supported by the game.
Limitations inherited from the original project may still apply:
- Some UI elements can use incorrect widget anchors on non-16:9 aspect ratios.
- Certain menus and HUD elements may not always be perfectly centered.
- Some pre-rendered or real-time cutscenes may still display incorrectly at ultrawide aspect ratios.
- Some FOV behavior can vary by scene.
When reporting an issue, please include:
- Operating system.
- Proton / Wine version, if applicable.
- Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game version.
- UE4SS version.
- Relevant
UE4SS.log. - Crash dump, if one was generated.
This project is a Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot UE4SS mod for Steam Deck and Linux/Proton that combines the original DBZK_Fix functionality with safer initialization. Its main user-facing features are FPS unlock, ultrawide support, aspect-ratio fixes, FOV tweaks and improved stability under Proton.
This repository is a modified fork of the original DBZK_Fix.
Special thanks to:
- KingKrouch / Bryce Q. for the original DBZK_Fix project and implementation.
- NicNamed for later work on the project and HD Update support.
- Special Week (real) for identifying UE4SS update-related fixes for the HD Update.
- UE4SS contributors for the Unreal Engine scripting/modding framework.
This fork focuses on:
- Proton compatibility.
- Steam Deck stability.
- Safer UE4SS initialization.
- Preserving the original DBZK_Fix feature set.
- Maintaining Windows compatibility where possible.
Future changes should keep platform-specific workarounds out of gameplay logic whenever possible so the same Lua mod can be shared across Windows and Proton.
