What happened?
This game is locked to 1088p resolution, 60 fps and has a godawful, blurry, always-on FXAA - all of which is a travesty, a farce and a grave injustice against you, dear reader, and PC Master Race as a whole.

Step into the world of 8K gaming with clean and crispy Neps, let your FPS soar and leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions!
Features
  • Resolution upscaling and downscaling
  • Fitting resolution to window size (Base game always renders at 1088p)
  • Disabled FXAA that degraded visuals inside dungeons

  • Improved Bloom shader
  • Bloom intensity & contrast settings
  • Increased shadow quality - to 8192x8192 and beyond
  • Outlines intensity control, as well as optional simple outlines shader
  • VSync options: On, Off, Adaptive
  • Nep: Nep
In short
Install
1) Download the mod from here[github.com]
2) Extract both files inside - opengl32.dll and nep.ini - into the game's base folder.

You can find the game folder by right-clicking on your Nep game in Steam library, choosing "Properties", going to "Installed Files" tab and clicking "Browse".

If running on Linux (especially Gentoo, which is obviously the best Linux), add this line to Properties ➜ General ➜ Launch options:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="opengl32.dll=n,b" %command%

Neptastic Mod is also available for Re;Birth2 and Re;Birth3!
Configure
Default configuration already provides all the improvements, including 2.0x resolution and 4K shadows.

If you wish to tune it yourself - Open the nep.ini file with any text editor. If needed, right-click on it and go to "Open With".

All the options have self-explanatory names, mirroring the list of features, and have comments explaining their effect and suggested values.

If you ever mess up your configuration, you can just delete the nep.ini file, and a new one with default settings will be created the next time you start the game.

Also, you can copy these config files between Re;Birth1, Re;Birth2 and Re;Birth3 games.

I'm playing on 1920x1080p on my pc with an rx 6650xt and every time I try to run this mod no matter what I try to do, it seems to crash my pc after a minute or two

Makes the game look so much better! Thanks for this!

This mod doesn't work and you still get zoomed in on an ultrawide display. As far as i can tell the game ignores whatever you set in the ini and just runs at the standard 1088 resolution regardless.

Can I mess with any of the settings in the ini to fix fullscreen window resizing for ultra wide monitors (5120x1440)

If you've been using this mod for a while and the game's resolution suddenly becomes ridiculously low for no reason, just reapply the patch. I don't know what causes it, but it's pretty funny.

Are other parts of the mod working for you?

This isn't working for me. I'm on steam deck and the fps remains at 60 when my deck can support 90

What do you mean by having no option? The game should run at 4k by default with this mod - you don't have to change anything (or download anything else).
