i am going to include some images of specialK
#a PSA on why Anti Cheat Sucks and SpecialK is amazing
tepid bough
Anti Cheat Locks out any Modification to the Windows DWM, SpecialK Hooks to Windows DWM to Ensure the game gets a Locked Hardware Independent Flip state for the Absolute Lowest Latency, combine that with it's Included Latent Sync which moves tearing to Places where it won't be noticeable, and the ability to use Nvidia Fast Sync, and Reflex on any DX11, DX12, and OpenGL game and you have one of the best Latency Reducing Tools around
and the best part it's free

@spark plover
oh it also smooths out Framepacing issues
meaning no more stutter

Um this is tech support
Do you need any help with smth?
@solemn thicket What is this exactly
Does he need help
I don't get it
Ok scratch that this is just a post about specialK
It's supposed to be a modding tool, and apparently it works well
Still, this really shouldn't be in here, and the two people you pinged didn't seem to be in the coversation at all.
Glad it works for you, though... Not that most anyone would come by here to check out something like this
I don't see GTFO being supported by SpecialK, so do be careful--this game already held together by hopes and dreams enough for me to be wary of stuff like this making bugs even worse.

if it works it works im glad 🙂 just like the reshade RTX stuff on some games, if it works why not 🙂

it works for all kinds of games too
it works with DX9, DX10, DX11, DX12, Vulkan, and OpenGL
and DX8 if you use DGVoodoo2
it also works with DXVK
the only ones that get Nvidia Reflex support though are DX11, DX12, and OpenGL
if you want Reflex in a DX9 game you have to use DGVoodoo2 and get Discard Flip working
if you have an RTX Card, Congrats you have MPO Planes
which means you get hardware Composed Flip which is Less Latency that Regular Composed Flip

Wonder if the peps from the modding server know about this thing
Usually you see this stuff there instead of in official

oh i should mention...
if you want the lowest latency
Per game Basis
settings should match these
as Using Driver Level Vsync causes extra Latency
also getting low Latency mode to ultra knocks off more latency
if you're going to stream, use Off for Vsync, if you're not streaming, use Fast sync
indigo tree
Don't you have to tune in game settings for that too?
tepid bough
yes set ingame settings to No Vsync
the SpecialK Options can be accessed by Using Ctrl+Shift+Backspace
set the FrameLimiter to your Monitor Refresh rate, Click advanced, and set latent sync
if you have VRR use Low Latency mode and turn on auto VRR
make sure to Right click AutoVRR and Set the 3 options in there
i should also mention... Freesync Monitors work on Nvidia GPU's. but only work over Display Port
as i stated earlier though
it does not work with games that use Anti Cheat of any kind

It's the injection method that trips the anti-cheat right
As well as the anti-virus
