An XInput/DXGI wrapper DLL that hooks into NieR Automata (Steam ver.) and disables object LODs, improving visual quality & fixing AO bugs.
Releases available at https://steamcommunity.com/app/524220/discussions/0/5197701062328187336/
Looks like using the wrapper to chainload DLLs no longer works on versions v0.76/0.76.1 Tested with NAIOM named as NAIOM.dll, it gets chainloaded correctly on any LodMod version prior to 0.76. I haven't tested renaming NAIOM to something else, nor have I tested to chainload other DLLs.
More like an issue it's a question: Is there any way to fix these shadows with LodMod.ini config? https://imgur.com/a/XnLBJ2j
Here's a video showing the issue (that's also in the game without LodMod) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sSsdC7scsoj0j5DNiu43htqG5IA-CBD2/view?usp=sharing
With LodMod v0.77 we've been able to patch in support to the game for H264, by using H264-USMs from other titles it's been confirmed that it seems to work fine.
Unfortunately we don't actually have any method to create our own H264 USM though... the only tool that can even create normal MPEG1-USMs is some ancient version of Scaleform VideoEncoder, which has it's own issues (eg. out-of-memory issues when encoding 4k videos)
Apparently that VideoEncoder was updated however, and also added a medianocheH264.exe file for encoding H264-USM files, but sadly doesn't look like that update was ever publicly posted anywhere...
The Criware SDK package also seems to include encoders with it (sofdec2encH264.exe...) but again it doesn't seem that this has ever been released publicly neither (only ones that have been are old ones without the Sofdec2 tools included ;_;)
TL;DR: If anyone ever had access to Scaleform GFx or Criware SDKs, could you check if you have any version of medianocheH264.exe or sofdec2encH264.exe? If you're able to share it I'd be extremely grateful, would help NA cutscene modders out a lot!

Im using the latest version of the game with: Steam Build ID of the game 7020666 Reshade v 5.0.2 Special K v 22.3.6 Wolf's Limit Break - File Size Limit Patch Bande Desinée
I experimented with this setting because of Strange Shadow behavior in the distance. They seem to overlap because of some kind of shadow lod. ShadowDistanceMultiplier = 4 should reproduce the "bug". Maybe its not even Possible to separate them from each other.
This is old bug i think i reported it on steam, or maybe i forgot to do so, but whenever you are in flooded city and in castle - you see very distracting and misaligned lods of park floating in air the left of coast near the see, and it should not be visible (check vanilla game) from these areas, except for 3 flying resource units later in game. In flooded city this looks especially broken.
Also castle and forest area lod floating about ruined city in desert (near the pit where we first meet adam and eve) should not be visible from this point.
There are still also a couple of other lod that does not appear in vanilla but i cant remember where i saw them.
I suggest to load every chapter and run a little every area in vanilla and lod modded game to compare and check if there are other unwanted lods floating around.
By default the game decides when it allows the renderer to use flashlight real time shadows, the idea would be if that's possible to force them at all times.
Using LodMod, some ambient animations like the wind ruffling 2b's and 9's hair in City Ruins get broken.
The issue is with LodMod itself. It doesn't matter whether FAR and NAIOM are being used or not. When LodMod is also used, being injected as xinput1_4.dll in the 2021 build of Automata, the above mentioned animations don't play anymore. The movement of hair due to running, walking and dodging are not broken though, just the motion due to wind when standing still.
Please fix this, since it breaks immersion, and LodMod itself is very important for running 2021 build correctly.
I have tested with latest LodMod 0.77.4 as well as an older version, 0.76.2
Same behaviour in both versions
Today I found a side effect of this setting, with both 0.77.4 and 0.77.1: SkipBootingScreens = true
With that set to true, during route B, when you're at the forest for the first time and kill the first group of enemies, the game doesn't transition properly into a flashback cutscene (it starts saying it's from 256 years before, for reference). The black/gray "glitched" transition image is still pasted on the screen and never leaves, although you can read and skip the subtitles. When the cutscene ends (black image still there, not letting you see), you can't pause the game and can't save when you approach an access point.
I don't know if this problem is known or expected. And I don't know if cutscenes from later in this zone also have this problem.
Here's my save file, renamed to ".txt" extension instead of ".dat", in case it's needed: SlotData_2.txt
The save file is in the first forest access point. Back to the main road and turning right, the enemy group is there.
Entered the Tower Library in the C route with LodMod enabled and there a couple of large pieces of model geometry obscuring a good portion of both the left and right sides of the library.
Mods: Automata-LodMod v0.75.1 Latest SpecialK With latest HQ Texture pack from Nexus
DLC has been adjusted to the 2021 version (unchecked in Steam) if it makes any difference.
Removing LodMod (both the Xinput dll & the ini file) resolves the issue. No tweaks/changes have been made to the LodMod ini file.
Example screens of the issue: https://i.imgur.com/nNSbquS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/H8c6plT.jpg
It's been claimed that the 2021 build performs worse than the older, Denuvo'ed 2017 build, with 2021 apparently having worse performance & latencies.
I haven't actually checked the performance myself, but do trust the ones claiming this, porting LodMod to all the commonly used builds also revealed a likely cause for it: 2021 seems to have much less build optimizations applied compared to 2017. No idea if this was a deliberate change, or maybe something that happened with different compiler/build-environments being used, I just know some pretty beneficial build optimizations are no longer being used in the 2021 build for some reason.
As an example, there's a function I name as cMapControllerBase::Init (2017 addr: 0x5A5220, 2021/Win10 addr: 0x7D51B0)
In the 2021 build, this takes a 2nd parameter which is a constant of 7, this never changes and is hardcoded in the EXE (and is also part of what LodMod's HQMapSlots feature updates), but in 2021 you can see that the parameter given to this function gets used for calculations of a bunch of sizes/offset, is pushed/popped from stack, passed to subroutines called inside it... in other words, a lot of code is ran which works on the value of that parameter.
However in the 2017 build, optimization has made the compiler realize that the constant 7 never changes, and there's no need to calculate any things at runtime: all those sizes/offsets can be mostly calculated during the build & hardcoded instead, the function doesn't even seem to take in a parameter to define it anymore, instead that function (and the subroutines it calls) all have the constant 7 hardcoded inside them.
That's just an example from a part of the code I've been working on, things like that can be seen everywhere when comparing 2021 vs 2017 (along with even worse things like dead-code being ran, or jumps all over the place to non-inlined 1-line functions...)
Though from a modding point-of-view the unoptimized code used by 2021 is actually a lot nicer to work with than the 2017 code (I doubt a lot of the LodMod things could have been figured out very easily with 2017's binary alone, would have been a lot more time-consuming at least), but I don't really think this modding benefit outweighs the performance drop from it.
Until another 4 years pass and SQEX maybe (probably not) decides on another update, I'd guess our only option is to somehow salvage the code we already have.
Maybe it's possible to profile the game and find hotspots, and then "transplant" 2017's code over them, I've done this with code from 2017-debug into 2021 already, depending on the code it isn't too difficult, as usual the harder part is finding the code that needs it... I haven't really done profiling of black-box games like this before though, not even sure how possible it is.
Another option could maybe be code "lifting", where all of the machine-code is lifted into a compiler's bytecode format for modification/re-optimization, and then re-compiled from there. It seems like this might be possible using LLVM & McSema (which apparently even has Win-x64 support), but not sure if this has ever been done with a 16MB+ game EXE before, maybe worth exploring if nothing else helps.
Any other ideas would be appreciated, if all else fails we can just downgrade to the 2017 build I guess, but who knows how long Denuvo activation will last for it...
(also before it's brought up, Denuvo doesn't seem to be a cause of the optimization differences here - 2017 debug was also Denuvo'd, and the level of optimization there is pretty much just as bad as the current 2021 build, actually worse in some cases probably due to using debug build config, so IMO it's unlikely that Denuvo somehow optimized the 2017 build)

Source code(tar.gz)NOTE: it's been found that the 2021 update was meant to update the DLC packages too, but due to depot issues Steam overwrites the DLC with the older 2017 versions.
If you want to use the latest 2021 files, open your Steam library, right click NieR:Automata, open Properties, select the DLC tab, then uncheck all of the DLC listed there (besides the wallpaper set, if you have it).
Now select the "Local files" tab, and choose "Verify integrity of game files...", this'll take a little while, but once it's finished verifying Steam should start downloading the updated 2021 DLC files.
Normally the game would disable the DLCs in-game if you had them disabled in Steam (even if you have the files available...), but as of LodMod v0.76.2 this has been fixed so the game just checks whether the files exist now.
(for reference, size of 2021 data100.cpk is 982,907,600 bytes)
Two new fixes have been added to LodMod.ini, ShadowModelHQ & ShadowModelForceAll.
ShadowModelHQ allows the game to draw shadows with the real-time HQ model, instead of a static LQ model. (so eg. tree shadows will now sway along with the tree, instead of showing a static shadow) Not tested much yet, seems to work fine around city ruins at least, but could possibly cause issues if any area depends on the LQ models. (as this forces LQ models not to render, so that both HQ & LQ don't render at the same time...)
ShadowModelForceAll allows forcing all models to draw shadows, helping with objects like small rocks & grass. This seems to help many different models, but looks like some still aren't casting shadows for some reason, will need to look into it some more. This can be used independently of ShadowModelHQ, but is best used together with it. (may cause certain models to draw shadows that 100% shouldn't, if you notice any weird shadow issues with this let me know!)
For now it looks like it has a pretty good effect though, for a comparison between vanilla vs ShadowModelHQ + ShadowModelForceAll see https://slow.pics/c/GIa50v0A (click image to compare)

The included LodMod.ini is set up to use 17 slots - unfortunately the full 19 slots can't be used properly atm due to an issue below.
(NOTE: If you're using Win7 version, make sure to change HQMapSlots to 7! - I haven't ported everything over to the Win7 ver yet, will look into it soon)
Sadly I've already noticed a few small issues with this, hoping to find something for them soon:
Tried increasing buffer sizes like Wolf's Limit Break patch does but no luck yet, wouldn't be surprised if there's a hardcoded count in here like everything else has :/ Spying some memory addrs shows it might be happening when game reaches ~1000 models, could be graphics related where it's only handling so many models or something, not really sure where to start looking into this, maybe debug build will shed some light.
For now it doesn't seem HQMapSlots = 18 is affected by this bug, maybe use HQMapSlots = 17 to be safe.
(I'm not sure why increasing LOD distance makes this happen yet the normal LOD distance was fine, this happens even with buildings you're right next to, but maybe it's only when the building was far away when originally loaded)
I'm guessing maybe game has something that would blend two instances together, which was only setup for the normal LOD distance, or maybe it's something lighting related, no idea though.
There's also a strange stepping pattern that can happen in the sand where two cells meet, probably related to the building issue above.
Fortunately found out the code to disable manual culling triggers can also be used to cull whatever models we want too, just a matter of finding the name of the ugly LODs model and forcing it to be culled. I wouldn't be surprised if other places in the game have the same issue though.

Weather changes can happen randomly when crossing certain points, my guess is the increased distance is letting the game load in a weather-change trigger earlier than it should be, maybe they didn't include any check for the player distance and just relied on the map-loader's distance instead.
(fixed) the building you can walk through near entrance of Resistance Camp had an ugly LOD covering it up, this was being loaded in by the cell next to it, which would conveniently unload when you were actually in the camp, but increasing the LOD distance stopped that from happening.
Fortunately found out the code to disable manual culling triggers can also be used to cull whatever models we want too, just a matter of finding the name of the ugly LODs model and forcing it to be culled. I wouldn't be surprised if other places in the game have the same issue though.

Source code(tar.gz)To install just extract xinput1_4.dll & LodMod.ini into your NieR Automata folder, next to NieRAutomata.exe.
The default LodMod.ini is set up to just disable LODs and increase shadow distance - shadow quality is mostly left the same as vanilla, but you can easily increase the quality by just lowering the shadow distance, or if your card can handle it increase the shadow resolution.
DisableManualCulling is also enabled by default but is still experimental, if you notice any strange LODs being displayed close-up without disappearing please let me know!
