Tales of Berseria "Fix" - v 0.10.2 [21:9 Support] - (3/1/17)

Please refer to this post for support.

I do not monitor this thread anymore

That's not even the right version of d3d9.dll. It's really no wonder this stuff isn't working.

There's a strict ABI (Application Binary Interface) requirement between d3d9.dll and tbfix.dll. It is rare that any two versions not bundled together in tbfix.7z will work together.

For whatever reason your system's running an older d3d9.dll, all I can say is run SKIM64 and uninstall and re-install. Until you get that fixed, it's not going to work.

Which log files specifically?

Any that have anything in them.

Special K. I can access the ingame configuration menu, but there isn't any option to change the shadow quality there.

That means that the fix isn't installed properly and that the global injector is being used. Open SKIMM64.exe and Install from there (Uninstall and Re-install if necessary). Also make sure you don't have the Demo option selected by mistake.

Thanks! Installing from SKIMM64 did the trick. I was extracting the zip from github. That's why it wasn't working.

Yeah... I don't think DLLs are generally going to work correctly on your system. You have them associated with Notepad, which leads me to believe that you made edits to one with a text editor at some point in time and that never ends well.

I've added DLLs before with no problem. Is there a way to change them back to the proper association. Anyway here are my logs on the matter.

Anyone else having issues with newer builds having no voice?

Yeah, doing that is tricky because you have to manage changes to default_*.ini yourself. Nobody does this, that's why I have the installer :)

It looks at the checksum to see if default values have changed and intelligently takes care of all that stuff a lot easier than if I had to explain everything that changed everytime I update the software.

SKIM64's just a little graphical front-end, by the way. It's not installing anything besides the mod. You can, in fact, toss the thing in the recycle bin when you're done with it and just download it from GitHub again if you ever need it.

Same issue as others, can't get the game to open with the fix installed.

And where exactly is steam_api.log in all of this?

It looks to me like Steam's not happy and is shutting the game down.


It's a clean application shutdow rather than a crash. Something's closing the game before it creates a render window.

[Kaldaien]

Also, the game is loading SteamAPI much, much later than it is supposed to.

That's what normal startup looks like on a Windows 10 machine. The game doesn't delay load steam_api.dll, that DLL is already loaded when things are working normally.

[JigglesExMachina]

This is sad. Game runs great at max settings with 30 FPS selected in the in-game settings. At '60' the game still runs in 30 but it feels like it's half speed. The frame limiter seems to do nothing to resolve this issue. After Ctrl+Shift+Backspace and selecting SpecialK's frame limiter, is there anything else that has to be done to 'confirm' that choice? or am I just unlucky and this won't work for me?

[Myst]

Oops, sorry. This was all that was in the steam_api log:

01/27/2017 09:54:05.763: steam_api64.dll was loaded, hooking...

Still on windows 7 if that's the issue, steam opens the game fine w/o the mod installed.

[Village Idiot]

Is there a mod for just the DS4 Buttons?

[Iorveth]

Sorry for the dumb question, but to install on release version,
all I need to do is select "Tales of Berseria Fix" ?

You could just install this mod and turn off Kaldaien's Framerate Limiter and turn the shadows back down, but no there isn't a dedicated mod for it. At least not to my knowledge. Even if your computer can handle the better shadows, Kaldaien's Framerate Limiter is much more reliable and has better performance than the default one in the game.

Yes, Just select that in SKIM64.exe and hit install. Once you start the game (wait till the main menu or you see the OSD) you can press Ctrl-Shift-Backspace to configure the various settings. THe defaults however are good enough for the majority of people.
