Quick loading screen

🚀 **Significantly improve the loading speed of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"! **

✨ Function description

Sekiro's loading screen is frame rate throttled for some reason, this mod will unlock the frame rate limit during loading, significantly increasing loading speed. Please note that this mod will only have a noticeable effect if your computer configuration is capable of loading the game faster than the original game allows.

💡 **Performance Tips**:

  • The faster the CPU and hard drive, the faster the loading screen will be
  • It is recommended to install Sekiro on an SSD for best results

🔧 Technical background

This mod is based on the SekiroFpsUnlockDll source code, with special thanks to cathyjf for his work.

**Source code repository**:

  • Sekiro-FastLoading
  • Sekiro-FastLoadingDll

📥 Installation method

**DLL version (three installation methods)**:

  • **Chain loading DLL**:
  • If you use Sekiro Mod Engine, open the modengine.ini file in the Sekiro directory
  • Change `chainDInput8DLLPath=""` to `chainDInput8DLLPath="\FastLoadingDll.dll"`
  • Place FastLoadingDll.dll into the Sekiro directory
  • **Load as dinput8.dll**:
  • Rename the file to `dinput8.dll` and place it in the Sekiro directory
  • Note: This method cannot be used with Sekiro Mod Engine at the same time
  • **Use other programs to load the DLL**:
  • Can use Elden Mod Loader (also works in Sekiro)
  • or Special K to load multiple DLLs simultaneously

**EXE version**:

  • Just run this program while running Sekiro

🔍 Troubleshooting

If the mod doesn't seem to be taking effect, even though the logs show the mod is enabled, check to see if the frame rate is higher than 60 when loading the screen. If not, there may be some settings on your computer that hard limit the game to 60 frames.

**NVIDIA Graphics Solution**:

  • Open the NVIDIA Control Panel
  • Navigate to: **3D Settings** → **Manage 3D Settings** → **Program Settings**
  • Add Sekiro manually: **Add** → **Browse** → Find **sekiro.exe**
  • Setting: **Preferred Refresh Rate** to **Highest Available**
  • Setting: **Vertical Sync** to **Off**
  • Click Apply, close the NVIDIA Control Panel and restart the game

💻 For AMD graphics card and GSYNC users, you can refer here for more detailed setting steps related to frame rate.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
