Potential Movie fps fix - [SOLVED]

[Breedloved]

Update 3: New guide for using the fix. Includes DIY option or download and install fixed video files: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=887370335

So, the choppy movie sections in the game will hopefully be patched, but I was playing around with the game files and discovered the .usm files can be extracted, and the containing mpeg file viewed and converted.

Long and short is this - movies run very smooth once unpacked, even when left at the 30fps they are encoded at. I tinkered and converted to 60 fps and it took out the last bits of choppyness I could see.

Bad news is this: video files aren't 1080p quality, encoded at 900p resolution of 1600x904 which isn't the worst but these movies play as part of most cut-scenes, which make the low res stand out more when your gaming in 4k :). Other bad news is the audio: the .usm files do not contain the accompanying audio. I imagine this means the audio is running through the in-game engine, and is unpacked and played behind the video files and modifying the video files may make weird audio stuff happen...

Good news is this: the game runs with my modified .usm files. I tested this with the first in-game movie which plays as 2B crashes into the factory with the mech and switches to fighting with her swords. I replaced the movie from the game's directory with my re-packed 60fps version and it played smooth, much better than the original game file.

Unsure of what is causing the choppyness, but I'll keep tinkering to see if re-packing fixes it without causing new issues. I may end up re-packing the video files into 60fps version and will upload online so others can use to mod if requested.

Update: Game takes re-packed .usm movie files just fine, no crashes so far. I converted videos to 60 fps and found 2 pieces of bad news: The engine locks the pre-rendered cut-scenes to 30fps, regardless of the fps the video was encoded at. The sounds generally follow along with the video, and FX don't really seem off at all, but the voice-overs are noticably off if the video was encoded at 60 fps.

This being the case, I plan to un-pack, convert from mpeg1>mpeg4 @30fps, re-pack, and replace all movies files for the game. However the videos were encoded originally seem to be an issue, as I've now tested an mpeg4 converted, 30fps, re-packed video in-game and it looks much, much smoother. Anyone know where I can upload the fixed movie files for others to mod their game with? Original file size is ~24gb

Update2:
Backup your original .usm files. Download and install fixed .usm files into this directory and ovewrite existing:

there is absolutely no Difference at all after using Vidsuish.

If you converted your cutscenes to 60 FPS and they're playing back at 30 then the only explanation is that something isn't configured right. In-game vsync has to be disabled, and FAR must have "Remove 60 FPS Cap" enabled and "Use Busy-Wait for Capped FPS" disabled. (Use Ctrl + Shift + Backspace to bring up the FAR menu in Nier Automata.)

You can also enable Steam's FPS counter to make sure that cutscenes are really running at 60 FPS.

Nope, i set these Settings and still 30 FPS with Steam FPS Counter. I dont wanna Convert this again Oo Took nearly 3 Days.

Well, the good news is then that you shouldn't need to re-convert--that much probably worked. If the FPS counter showed 60 and the cutscenes still played at 30 that'd be a problem with the conversion.

I'm not entirely sure what's still locking the FPS at this point, though. If you're using the SpecialK installer for FAR you might try switching to the beta channel, or vice-versa if you're already in it. You could also try asking in the SpecialK Steam group. They'd know more about the mod than I do.

Did you ever discover what is causing usm playback in game to be choppier than in Windows? Interpolation is not improving results for alien isolation.

Thanks in advance

Did you ever discover how to get the usm cutscenes with Interpolation to play at 60fps in game? I'm trying to remove in game caps to my alien isolation upscale
