Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is here, but I won't be starting it on PC without these two apps at the ready.
I’m ready to rip through Elden Ring ’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion on PC, but that experience goes beyond just a code to add to my Steam library. Over the past two years, I’ve run through Elden Ring about four times — once on my own and three more times with friends with the Seamless Co-op mod. And throughout my journeys in the Lands Between, I’ve learned of two critical apps that vastly improve the experience on PC.
Get your weekly teardown of the tech behind PC gaming Check your inbox! Privacy Policy Special K is a global tool; you can use it with any game short of those with anti-cheat software. However, it includes a handful of adjustments for specific titles, including Elden Ring. The most immediately noticeable one is an unlocked frame rate. Elden Ring is capped to 60 frames per second on PC, but Special K can remove the cap.
There should be a version of Special K with these features reenabled before too long. There are still plenty of reasons to use Special K in Elden Ring, though. I’ll cover a way to improve your frame rate in the game in the interim in the next section. You can find a lot of applications for Special K in Elden Ring — I also use the mod’s HDR capabilities in the game, for example — but it carries a big caveat. Special K is a mod at the end of the day; it messes with game files. Because of that, you have to set Elden Ring to offline mode before loading the mod, and you can’t play online. That means no summoning your friends for boss fights, no messages on the ground, and no PvP.
The upscaling bit of Lossless Scaling is useful, but it’s the frame generation that stands out for Elden Ring. The app includes its own machine-learning-based frame generation model, and it gives you the option to either double or even triple your frame rate. It works in the same way as something like DLSS 3.5 or FSR 3. The game renders two frames, Lossless Scaling compares them, and it spits out either one or two frames between the two.
