Framegen disables itself on cutscenes.

[Toru77]

Cutscenes disable framegen which causes smoothness difference between gameplay and cutscenes.

Are you positive that framegen is being disabled? I just did a quick test with the intro cutscene and the framerate takes a big leap with framegen on. I believe what you are seeing is the more demanding nature of the cutscenes. I'm fairly sure they are engaging a much higher quality depth of field and likely some other graphical improvements. They are very heavy even on something as high-end as a 4090.

Actually, disregard my previous post. Frame generation (at least DLSS frame gen) is disabled during certain cutscenes. Using SpecialK, I enabled the DLSS-G indicator and checked before and after entering a cutscene.

I was going to test this mod when I get home, but is there still a problem with Framegen during cutscenes when using the mod? Do we all use Special K to fix it?

I think you might be misunderstanding, I'm only mentioning SpecialK as it will let you enable an indicator that shows when DLSS Frame Generation is active. That's how I can tell for sure it's turning off in certain cutscenes.

Ah, okay. Yes, I misunderstood. As for the mod itself, I'm only 20min in but it's working perfectly. :)
Edit: So I guess it is turning off Frame Generation in cutscenes, but it's still a lot better than being locked at 30fps.

Alright, looks like I've found a way to leave frame generation on in cutscenes. Will need to do a bit more testing then hopefully I can implement it.

Here is a test build with the option to force frame gen on all the time. Check FFXVIFix.ini to enable it and let me know if you run into any issues.

Much appreciated. 👍 I'll have to check it later on today but I'll see if it works as soon as possible.

This appears to be working for me, even for FMVs. It's trying to frame gen those, and it's producing something that looks like 35-42fps with some inconsistent frame rate/times, but that's fine. Nothings perfect, this is mod. For some reason, it's taking 95-99% of my 4090 to do it, but again, who cares. It's the game's code doing something weird there. If I limit the game to 30fps with framegen on, the FMV takes 45% of the GPU.

This fits pretty much with what I was getting on my end too. Ideally it would maintain behaviour from the standard game. It turns off frame gen in cutscenes, pre-rendered videos and menus. I already have a hook for resizing videos so I can tell when one is playing. That would at least solve frame generation being on during video sequences.

Alright, looking deeper I was able to find the function specifically responsible for turning off frame-gen in real time cutscenes. Here is another test build with that implemented.

Just came here to say it seems to be working perfectly now. Cutscenes on my end are just as smooth as the gameplay. 👍

[Karf]

Yeah, I can also confirm that v0.7.2_test3 is working perfectly. Framegen is no longer trying to muck up FMVs and is working during rendered cutscenes 👍
