Dishonored2GraphicalUpgrade and Smooth Motion (Frame Generation)

[HSete]

Hi! We all know how poor this game’s performance is, so I decided to use Smooth Motion (Frame Generation) to increase the frame rate. It works well, but due to some incompatibility, DLAA needs to be manually disabled and re-enabled when Smooth Motion is active. Would it be possible to make this plugin compatible with Smooth Motion?

Note: Smooth Motion is an NVIDIA technology available in the drivers that allows you to enable 2x Frame Generation in any game. It is compatible with RTX 4000 and 5000 series GPUs.

Thank you in advance.

I'm on an older RTX so can't test Smooth Motion. As a workaround could try starting the game with DLSS disabled and enable it later in game. I assume enabling it already in the main menu should be fine.

Also if you turn on triple buffering in game's settings (keep v-sync off) and set Low Latency Mode to Ultra in Nvidia CP/APP the game should run/feel smooth without Smooth Motion.

So, the ultra-low latency mode helps and is already enabled, but Smooth Motion significantly increases my FPS. Without it, I get an average of 80–100 FPS (with everything maxed out), while with Smooth Motion I get around 180–200 FPS.

I’ve read a bit and saw that a small delay before activation might solve it. Would it be possible to create a test version with a 5-second delay before DLAA is activated? If it works, it would be enough to add an option in the menu as a partial solution.

Frame Generation is generating fake frames from existing frames (frames rendered by the game), so with it you still have the same or even lower actual frame rate cause of performance hit from Frame Generation.

It would be possible to delay DLSS initialization/creation, but the implementation may be inconvenient and overcomplicated.

[HSete]

That's true, but my frame rate is above 60 FPS, so Frame Generation gives me more smoothness. This NVIDIA technology is quite impressive... I'm not sure if it was clear in my previous message, but I can get DLAA to work by unchecking the option and checking it again (with the game running).

Would adding a 5-second delay to do this be too complex? If so, unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it manually.

Anyway, thank you very much for this project. The game looks much better with DLAA.

Delaying DLSS initialization/creation would be overcomplicated compared to how it's implemented right now.
