Releases: Kaldaien/UnX
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.4.0
REAL Fullscreen Mode
This feature needs more testing, but is stable enough to be turned on by default (and incompatible with FlipMode).
- Press Alt+Enter (or the new controller combo) to toggle this feature.
VSYNC is controlled by PresentationInterval in dxgi.ini when using Fullscreen mode.
As I have been saying all along, the game's VSYNC setting is a giant lie.
If you want to turn this on or off, you have to set it up manually.
VSYNC Configuration
| Mode | Setting (dxgi.ini) |
|---|---|
| VSYNC | PresentationInterval=1 |
| No VSYNC | PresentationInterval=0 |
| Game Preference (Placebo) | PresentationInterval=-1 |
Buffer Queue Configuration
| Mode | Setting (dxgi.ini) |
|---|---|
| Double-Buffering | SwapChainBufferCount=1 |
| Triple-Buffering | SwapChainBufferCount=2 |
| Game Preference | SwapChainBufferCount=-1 |
DO NOT make changes to your game's resolution settings while Fullscreen mode is engaged; this will fail spectacularly.
Try not to Alt+Tab too much with this feature enabled, it may cause problems.
Window Centering
- When running in windowed mode, the **Center** option in `UnX.ini` will attempt to center the window rather than place it in a corner.Fast Exit
No popup confirmation dialog when pressing Alt+F4.
- This is controlled by FastExit in
UnX.ini
Background Input Fix
No more scrolling up in menus constantly when a DirectInput controller is plugged-in.
- Also disables keyboard input while the window is in the background
- This is controlled by FixBackgroundInput in
UnX.ini
Additional Controller Bindings
| Name | Binding |
|---|---|
| Escape Menu | Select + L2 + R2 |
| Fullscreen Toggle | L2 + L3 |
| Four Finger Salute (Exit) | L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start + Select |
The Four-Finger Salute is dangerous when combined with _Fast Exit_, so the button combo can be disabled.
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.3.0 (Fullscreen Test)
Adds improved fullscreen mode support
Press Alt+Enter after the game starts (for best results, wait until the main menu is loaded).
Stuttering may be reduced, but I have not noticed much improvement. This is mostly intended for compatibility with software that requires fullscreen mode.
DO NOT change resolution settings in-game while fullscreen mode is engaged. Press Alt+Enter to return to borderless window mode first, or the game will lock up.
VSYNC is forced on by
dxgi.ini(_PresentationInterval=1). VSYNC can be turned off using **=0**_Further evidence that the game's VSYNC setting is a placebo can be found if you set this to -1 (application preference) and try changing VSYNC in-game.
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.3.0
DirectInput 8 Remapping and Performance Boost
Mappings set in UnX_Gamepad.ini affect the game as well UnX's combos
- The section name was changed from Gamepad.Legacy to Gamepad.Remap
- Follow the directions from the 0.2.0 release notes to make use of this feature
UnX_Calibrate.exeis an attempt to automate it
- _UseXInput_ was renamed to _UsesXInput_ to reflect the fact that this option describes how the controller operates (e.g. if you are not using a Steam controller or Xbox controller you probably do not use XInput and should set this to _false_).
Remapping is useful primarily for people whose Square / Triangle and Circle / Cross buttons are swapped. There is finally a fix for this that works with all button icons!
Because UnX_Gamepad.ini's setting names have changed, it is suggested that you delete this file and start fresh when upgrading to 0.3.0
Advanced Window Management
- Window activation is handled smarter now and the option to mute audio while the window is in the background has been added.
- Later versions will use this functionality to finish off Fullscreen Exclusive support (in testing since 0.1.x)
- F1-F5 controller combos no longer trigger if the game is not in the foreground when pressed
Performance Overhaul
A key bottleneck in Square-Enix's stuttery framerate limiter has been bypassed (by default).
The new behavior will raise idle CPU usage slightly in exchange for much, much more consistent frametimes and possibly shorter load screens.
- Refer to ReduceStutter in
UnX.ini
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.2.3
Improved Steam Performance, Language Config and Texture Dumping
- Resolves serious issues with Steam's overlay and controller performance - Texture dumping spits out textures to a subdirectory (e.g. **_FFX.exe**_) to indicate which game uses it.
Language settings are no longer stored in UnX.ini
They are now stored in UnX_Language.ini, which is generated on first run.
- Language preferences can be stored per-game, but will default to the values set in [Language.Master]
- To override preferences per-game, change the blank line under [<Game.exe>]
_To resolve microstutter and excessive load times due to poor multi-threaded execution, **MaxDeltaTime** in `dxgi.ini` has been set to **5**._ This value has been tested on many machines and works well most of the time, if you experience problems with third-party software such as video capture, consider setting it to **3** or (in the worst-case) **0**.
A value of 6 will remove about 99% of performance problems, but stability is unknown.
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.2.2b
Screenshot Controller Binding and Compatibility Fixes
- Adds a screenshot button binding (Select+R3 by default) - This triggers a Steam managed screenshot, the same as you'd get if you were running in Big Picture Mode. - Improved reliability and speed of input hooking - `BypassIntel` will no longer cause multi-GPU AMD or NVIDIA systems to render on an alternate GPU - When the game starts, its window is now forced into the foreground and activated - Square-Enix establishes window focus, but does not correctly bring the window into the foreground - GPU priority in windowed mode was messed up among other things as a result (until you Alt+Tab'd)Re-released to fix a few issues, if you have 0.2.2 grab this release again.
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.2.1
Intel GPU Bypass and Improved Audio Synchronization
- Adds a bypass for systems with both Intel and AMD/NV GPUs
- Most drivers have a setting for this, very rarely does it work in my experience.
- When Japanese FMVs are selected, timing for subtitles uses the correct data now
Please see the 0.2.0 release notes if you have not already
- I still have documentaiton to re-write, and the release notes explain important changes from 0.1.x to 0.2.0+The 0.2.0 release notes are here
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.2.0
Gamepad Overhaul (v 0.2.0)
Special Key Support
Buttons that activate the unique PC-only features of this port are normally unusable with a gamepad. This is a very strange oversight that needed correcting.
| Keyboard Function | Default Controller Combo |
|---|---|
| ESC (:computer: PC Menu) | L2 + R2 + ( Select or Start ) |
| F1 (:fast_forward: Speed Hack) | Select + x |
| F2 (:racehorse: Supercharge) | Select + ○ |
| F3 (:game_die: Encounter Rate) | Select + □ |
| F4 (:sleeping: Auto Battle) | Select + L1 |
| F5 (:eyeglasses:Toggle HUD) | Select + R1 |
The buttons can be configured to any combination of Xbox or PlayStation button names in UnX_Gamepad.ini and up to three buttons are supported. Choose wisely because the game will still process the individual button presses.
Button Packs

Configuration
Button customization is now done in an ini file that is created when the mod first runs
UnX_Gamepad.ini
By default, the mod attempts to use XInput for controller management. If you have a controller that uses DirectInput, you will need to edit UnX_Gamepad.ini and set UseXInput=false Additional configuration may be necessary for DirectInput controllers, and a section called [Gamepad.Legacy] will be added to the INI file after you turn XInput off.
If you have a DirectInput controller and button combos are not working correctly, run
joy.cpland verify that each XInput_... entry matches the red numbered circle that lights up when you press the appropriate button.
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.1.2

Please refer to the v 0.1.1 release notes for important technical details on functionality still in testing.
The standalone DLL and INI are testing user-customized F1-F5
Edit UnX.ini to set these button combos any way you see fit. They still require an XInput compatible gamepad.
- Button names can be supplied in either Xbox or PlayStation form (e.g _Select_ or _Back_ are the same button).
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.1.1
Final Fantasy X-2 Button Support
- Restructured the button modding system
- Correct button packs require a spritesheet and sixteen individual textures for each button face
- At present, only
PlayStation_Glossy(default setting) is compatible with FFX-2
- Re-purposed Final Fantasy's "Four Finger Salute" 🍀
- Access the in-game settings menu by pressing L2 + R2 + Select + Start
- This menu ordinarily requires a keyboard and the ESC key
- Added support to permanently hide the mouse cursor 🐭
- Set CursorTimeout to 0.0
Experimental Fullscreen Mode Support
-
Edit
UnX.iniand set EnableFullscreen=true
You cannot Alt + Tab while the game is running in fullscreen mode - you will have to terminate the game from the task manager if you accidentally do that.
_Intended only to test performance_
Engage by pressing Alt + Enter in-game
Potential Solution for Excessive Loading Screens
MaxDeltaTime bumped up from 0 to 3 in dxgi.ini
- Idle CPU usage will rise, but post-battle screens should no longer take 20 seconds
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.1.0
Custom Buttons, Texture Dumping / Injection, FlipMode Fixes
- Texture dumping 💩 is officially supported now.
Texture dumping spits 💥🐪 out textures to:
UnX_Res/dump/textures/....dds 📂
Texture Dumping
There are two types of textures:
| Uncompressed | Compressed |
|---|---|
| Used for the UI | Used by the world, (e.g. ground objects and normal maps) |
Dumped to UnX_Res/dump/textures/Uncompressed_<crc32>.dds |
Dumped to UnX_Res/dump/textures/Compressed_<crc32>.dds |
This feature can be enabled by setting [UnX.Textures] Dump=true
Texture Injection
Allows modified textures to replace the original ones
Injects 💉 textures from:
UnX_Res/inject/textures/<CRC32>.dds 📂
Textures to be injected need to be named to match the checksum of the texture they are replacing
The dumped texture:
{Un}Compressed_8badf00d.ddscan be replaced by placing a replacement (8badf00d.dds) in the injection directory.
This feature can be enabled by setting [UnX.Textures] Inject=true
FlipMode is 🔛 by Default
- The default
dxgi.iniconfig should be compatible,- For best performance, consider boosting SwapChainBuffers in
dxgi.inito 4 or 6
- For best performance, consider boosting SwapChainBuffers in
- On some ancient Windows 7 systems without Platform Update, it will be necessary to turn this off.
- Set FlipMode=false in
UnX.iniunder [UnX.Render]
- Set FlipMode=false in
Custom Buttons
Buttons for PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One now ship with UnX
- Default is PS3 (Glossy)
I would like to extend my thanks to the Steam community for putting these together so quickly. In particular, Continuity and CorruptEagle
