Is it safe to download FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) mod?

[Xx-Raven90-xX]

I just got my first gaming computer and I am new with pc games, and I am a bit paranoic about downloading mods and weird softwares.
I bought Nier Automata and I have some issues with the resolution. So I am thinking to download FAR mod, but I don't want to damage my system.

One more thing:
where can I download it or what is the best way to get the mod?

Thank you for your comments.

Yes FAR is perfectly fine and safe to use.
SInce you're new with games i'd recommend you to follow this guide to install it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=914437196

thank you guys for your help, now I am trying to understand how to use this MOD. There are too many options in the menu.

If you follow the guide I linked you should have no real trouble using FAR, there are only 3 or 4 things you might need to change.

That guide is gold.
I didn't resort to FAR to beat the game, but I did the CPU limit shortcut to avoid the white screen freeze. Maybe with FAR I wouldn't suffer from stuttering in the cutscenes, but the crashes are worse.
It's a pitty that a good game like this one is not very optimized...

Cutscene stutter is unrelated to not having FAR; it's because the cut scenes are 30fps video instead of in-engine. So if you're pushing 60 or more FPS they'll be a bit rough, and if you're like me and running ultrawide they'll be stretched also :D

I just skip them tbh, after seeing them the first few times i wanted to just get in the action.

Have you not heard about vidsquish? It allows you to change them to 60 fps and even fix aspect ratio.

That's not the issue...even at 30fps, cutscenes are supposed to play smoothly with all those 30 frames per second being shown, but for some people they actually stutter a lot, with micro freezes where it's noticeable the audio is playing normaly while the video doesn't keep up, or where the video stops for an entire second multiple times, always while the audio plays fine.

My apologies then; i thought it was related to the differences between the source and the refresh rate of the monitor. But i didn't know anything about the freezing and stuff.
