**Adajer** · 2014-10-09 11:26

Steam hasnt released it yet.

**Waraji** · 2014-10-09 11:28

lol Was about to edit my post after reading the steam forum.

Edit: Apparently its unlocked, but it takes a while to unpack.

**Adajer** · 2014-10-09 12:16

I cant get it to initiate the decrypt. Keep getting error.

Restarted Steam and my PC. Still giving me error.

720p, 60FPS field, 30FPS cinematic. No way to increase resolution. FPS is a bit unstable at times with a 980 SC.

About what you'd expect with a port. The plus side, we can now mod this shit to make it better once we figure out a bit more of the format.

**Kaisha** · 2014-10-09 12:28

So not only does it have a launcher, it also has fuck-all for settings. Thanks for keeping the standards low Square Enix,

The game isn't good enough to warrant the effort of modding it, outside of forcing the resolution to be higher, because a 720p lock is lazy and ridiculous. Game looks like the PS3 release from screenshots I'm seeing, complete with shit texture filtering.

**Alkar** · 2014-10-09 12:31

Should've expected a lock with all those pre-rendered cutscenes. Hopefully XIII-2 and LR get the better treatment.

**Shenrien** · 2014-10-09 12:37

Mmm.. Go ahead and take it all in.

The cut scenes are compressed to hell, fucking PS3 has better quality. Why is this game so large?!

**Waraji** · 2014-10-09 12:57

Hmm was expecting something better, but a port is a port.

For those still downloading, on the fence(why?) or something here.

Post from Steam Discussion. Worth a try. Will keep an eye on it.

Upsample to 1080p through GeDoSaTo
Using the GeDoSaTo tool I have enabled upsampling to 1080p that looks much better than the crappy 720p that it comes with. Here are the steps and config that i used to get 1080p. I will also be adding in the correct Hud injection so we can get true FXAA/SMAA without affecting the HUD (will update the config once i get it)

Step 1: Download GeDoSaTo (google it).
Step 2: Launch GeDoSaTo and click "User Whitelist"
Step 3: Add "fxiiiimg | | Final Fantasy XIII" <-- add this without the quotes and click Save in bottom right
Step 4: Go to Settings and click the "+" button near the "U" button at the bottom
Step 5: Enter "fxiiiimg" as the name (make sure there are 4 "i"s as with step 3
Step 6: Paste the following config:

# Lines starting with "#" are ignored by GeDoSaTo and used to provide documentation

# This is a profile file for ffxiiiimg

# The resolution you want to downsample *to*.
# Should generally always be your output device pixel size and frequency.
# Writing something not supported by the display here will probably cause a crash.
# 0 = main monitor resolution
presentWidth 1920
presentHeight 1080
presentHz 60

# The type of scaling you want to use.
# bilinear: what GPUs generally do, cheap performance-wise
# bicubic: higher quality, more expensive performance-wise
# lanczos: higher quality and sharp, most expensive performance-wise
# nearest: extremely cheap, generally ugly, but useful to upsample retro games
scalingType bilinear

# Forces the present resolution to be set, regardless of what the game requests
# usually only makes sense in conjunction with game-specific plugins
# for games with resolution limits
forcePresentRes true

# For games which use strange methods to query resolutions,
# injecting a new one might not work. In such cases, you can try replacing an
# existing resolution. E.g. "overrideWidth 800", "overrideHeight 600" to replace 800x600
# 0 = override disabled
overrideWidth 1280
overrideHeight 720

Step 7: Enjoy!

Well, not disappointed I did not decide to buy it then. Oh SE, you never change.

**Adajer** · 2014-10-09 13:55

I can't even get it to play.

**Waraji** · 2014-10-09 14:00

NeoGAF Durante working on 1080p fix, also SE Dev posted in the 1080p request thread on Steam that they will be looking into it. There's still hope yall.

Spoiler: show

I deleted local content. Steam still only says preload instead of install.

Why delete? Could have moved it out of the folder and retried download, then just move the shit back in and restart steam.
