Special K Mod Loader
I've downloaded and installed the Special K Mod Loader but the game won't launch. How do I launch the game now?

It should... I use SK when I play Kingdoms of Amular RR.. I launch SK, scroll down the list to the game, then press the launch button..

Use the Archive version instead of the installer for the quality of life. Dead easy to set up:
Download archive version of latest Special K Tool and extract file named "SpecialK64.dll"
Rename "SpecialK64.dll" to "DXGI.dll" (Yes you only need that dll)
Copy "DXGI.dll" to game root folder (right next to SOTTR.exe)
Disable DirectX12! Texture injection only works in DirectX 11 mode!
If previous steps done correctly - you will see Special K Overlay inside the game in main menu. Enjoy

Sight.. Not sure why I am willing to even reply towards 4 letter 'question' post @Posta but.. "In general" it is Dopemine boost :repill: for any SQ Enix games as they are badly ported.. In short it is a magic tool that enchances user experience.. if you know what you are doing :Finger2: won't guide you since you got VAC ban :trolol:

I have tried both the above methods and the game won't start with Special K enabled. Windows 11 and latest version of SOTTR. I notice there are betas available, is it worth trying one of them?

Did you mean: SOTTR-Tribal-Outfit-and-SpecialK ???

1. Extract the compressed package with any archiver anywhere you want.

2. Open the "SpecialK" folder and copy the three files: dxgi.dll, SpecialK64.pdb, Version folder into the game folder where the exe-file is.

3. Copy the "SK_Res" folder and Paste to >> (SOTTR) installed directory game, where the .exe is.

OPTIONAL: For no Pubic Hair just paste the file of NoHair folder in to Mod folder and replace.

4. Turn off DX12.!!!!!!!!!

5. Set texture to ULTRA Quality.
*MOD WON'T WORK IF TEXTURES AREN'T SET TO ULTRA

6. Run the game, Go to CampFire, choose blue heron outfit.

Download this version of special k:

https://discourse.differentk.fyi/t/special-k-v-21-04-04-now-with-d3d12-support/1656

Then you need to edit your dxgi.ini with this:
