You can find the mod and recommended settings here:
https://discourse.differentk.fyi/t/horizon-zero-dawn/224

Check the banner up top for download.
Download the Special K v 0.11.0.45 24 archive and extract it to a place of your choice.

Launch SKIF that resides in the folder you extracted to. You can run it either with or without the Steam client running.
For nont steam HZD(Epic store) go to Injection config and add the route to the game exe.
Click start services.

Specialk.ini already configured here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wEhcpZ9J0en_UrtTbTK3wc69iyA6dWiz/view

Just change this line "OverrideRes=" to your monitor resolution
Paste here:
Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\Horizon Zero Dawn

IMPORTANT: no OSD is yet available, to know specialk is loaded pres crtl+shift+T ingame, you should hear an achievemente sound.

Recommended redist installed for SpecialK:

With some searching, I also found this: https://discourse.differentk.fyi/uploads/short-url/kFeY5N8MnnGEqx14YpLclEbkrY9.7z
Rename it to dxgi.dll and put it in the same folder as Horizon Zero Dawn, and it'll automatically start alongside the game, no need to start Special K separately. It does need you to put the config in a folder named horizonzerodawn.exe in your Profiles folder though.
Also don't use the Redist link either. The installer broke a bunch of my already installed redists.

This completely broke Fullscreen for me until I enabled Borderless ingame.
Past that, finally this game is bloody playable.

What hardware are you running that you get "framepacing and stutter".
Ive been using this game as a test game for my test bench at work.
and did not expirince anything bad.
test bench is made of
1700 Ryzen 7
16GB 3600MHZ ram
and any GPU that needs testing..

How do I use this? The UI is flickering when I open it and it only shows "Unknown"
