D-fix [Dragon Nest-Fix]

You can download the file here, or nightly release here.

NOTE BEFORE USING THIS

Use at your own risk. Simplified means less instruction count/ISA which results to less GPU usage1. This should fix the stupidly high GPU usage on (Volume Tex) FRDN S2 Blue-Green Circle Mech, Wind Mech in S3 (will cause stuttering) and others. I only follow SEA's changes, so if you're on another server, some shader might not work for you (log file).

The main issue in Dragon Nest

The game has a particle bug on the AMD CPU after the 64-bit release. This fork fixes it. Additionally, removing unnecessary computation on low graphics.

Why use this

.pak needs to be updated when dnshader changes (dnshaders2.dat). The dll checks if the specific shader is still the same hash. So updating the dll will be "rarely."

How to use

Download the latest release, then extract the file (d3d11.dll) at the game folder.

└── Dragon Nest Folder
    ├── d3d11.dll
    └── dragonnest_x64.exe

Footnotes

  1. Removed (some) shadow on low graphics.

  2. Reduced shadow resolution.

  3. e.g. ML tornado. 2

  4. Fixed shadow holes.

  5. Biggest shader in the game and doing 2x shadow computation for no reason.
