As promised earlier this year, Square Enix will be releasing a patch to fix the numerous issues with NieR Automata's PC port. Upon release, the game was one of 2017's biggest hits, though many found themselves disappointed by the game's PC port, which had trouble running for many, with major stuttering issues, unstable framerate problems, and outright crashes when run on certain graphics cards. Today, July 15th marks the release of the long-awaited patch that'll supposedly fix those problems and more, adding HDR and 4K support, as well. A full changelog details other new features, such as borderless fullscreen, 60fps support for cutscenes, and better lighting.

• Borderless Video Settings
Borderless video settings have been implemented.
• Fidelity FX
A Fidelity FX CAS feature has been added.
• HDR
The system will now detect whether HDR has been activated in the Windows display settings, and automatically boot the game in HDR mode if it has.
• Anti-aliasing
Adjustments to the anti-aliasing functionality
• UI textures (4K)
Approximately 270 UI textures for icons, backdrops and UI elements etc. now support 4K resolutions.
• Cut scenes
The bit rate has been improved and all pre-rendered cut scenes adjusted, so they will now play in 60FPS and display in the correct aspect ratio without stretching the picture.
• Global illumination
A new “Global illumination” feature has been implemented. This can be set to three different levels; High, Medium or Low.
• Ambient occlusion/ bloom
The rendering targets for ambient occlusion and bloom effects have been changed to dynamic resolution based on the game’s resolution.
▼ Bug fixes
• It is now possible to switch between recently selected display modes for screenshots, such as between full screen and windowed mode or between borderless and windowed mode, by pushing the Alt + Enter keys together.
• The mouse cursor is no longer displayed when using a game pad controller.
• The frame rate has been stabilized at 60FPS under default settings.
Other stability related fixes have also been implemented.
