We’re excited to unveil LSFG 3, featuring significant improvements in quality, performance, and latency! It will officially launch on January 10, celebrating the anniversary of the LSFG 1 release.

Thank you for being part of our journey, stay tuned for more updates!

- LSFG 2.3 introduces X4 frame generation mode, generating three intermediate frames. The recommended usage scenario starts with the game's base framerate of 60 frames and for monitors with a high refresh rate of 240 and above, but can also be used with lower framerates (where the base mode is expected to give better results compared to "performance").

- X3 mode has been updated to further reduce artifacts on patterned textures and in dark scenes.

- Increased UI detection rate from every 4th frame to 1 for "performance" mode, as it was found that this could cause some artifacts. This led to a slight decrease in performance, so this parameter can now be changed in the config.ini file located in the installation folder.

- Initial support for G-Sync. It is recommended to enable it for full screen mode in the driver settings.

Special thanks to the Reddit user That_Committee9145 who first found a way to enable G-Sync for LS, as well as DerGefallene who brought the information to my attention. A huge thanks to the team of alpha testers who help me a lot every day. Thanks to each user for being here, without you this software would not be possible.

- Reduction of LSFG artifacts on patterned textures and in dark scenes, especially noticeable when HDR is enabled.

- LS1 sharpening correction, now the value 0 should match the original. Improved colors with HDR.

- Added Portuguese and Serbian translations

This version aims to improve smoothness, framerate stability and latency for a wide range of GPUs.

- LSFG 2.2 updates the UI detection part by reducing the level of over-detection, which eliminates some artifacts caused by UI detection and has a positive effect on the overall smoothness of the image.

- Cursor rendering at the target framerate.

- Return to the previous behavior when rendering over refresh rate is allowed.

- The new "Max Frame Latency" option acts as a balance between latency and performance. There is no best value, as all systems are different. Most likely, the optimal value will be 1 for Nvidia GPUs and 3 for AMD. It should be at least 2 (3 for AMD) if you want LS to be able to render over refresh rate.

- Merged the "Vsync" and "Allow tearing" options into one menu, where "Default" means that both of them are disabled.

- Improved Freesync support (works only on AMD GPUs).

-Lithuanian and Vietnamese localizations added.

Previous version is available in Steam betas.

- Introducing the X3 frame generation mode. LSFG 2.1 can now generate two intermediate frames, effectively tripling the framerate.

X3 has increased GPU load by approximately 1.7 times compared to X2 mode. At the same time, LSFG 2.1 Performance and LSFG 1.1 have been optimized to be 20% faster in X2 mode compared to the previous version.

It has been tested that X3 mode does not cause any additional latency compared to X2. Latency is affected by the base framerate and when the GPU is fully utilized. For the best experience in both image smoothness and latency, it is recommended to lock the game framerate at 1/3 of the monitor's refresh rate in X3 mode.

The minimum recommended base frame rate remains the same as for X2 mode at 30 FPS for 1080p and 40 FPS for 1440p, respectively.

- New behavior when the final framerate should exceed the monitor refresh rate:

Previously, LS rendered all necessary frames, some of which were later discarded when displayed on the monitor. LS will now skip rendering extra frames while accounting for correct frame pacing, so the result should be very similar to the old behavior but much more resource efficient.
While a higher base framerate is better for latency purposes, forcing LS to skip frames may not result in the best smoothness.

Given that the LS framerate will never exceed the refresh rate now, for convenience and also for identifying issues, the 'Draw FPS' option also outputs captured frames when using DXGI capture.

- Enhanced architecture for processing large-scale movements, enabling efficient usage at lower frame rates. Hence, the minimum recommended base frame rates are 30/40 for 1080p/1440p resolutions respectively, with 60 FPS and higher recommended for an optimal experience.

- Noticeable reduction of common artifacts such as motion ghosting, edge distortion, and image blurring. In cases where artifacts persist, it is advisable to increase the base frame rate.

- GPU load has increased by 1.5 - 2x depending on the resolution. Therefore, a new 'Performance' mode has been added to preserve the performance of the previous version. It retains all the main advantages of the quality version and surpasses the LSFG 1.1, all at the same speed.

Reduced distortion/ghosting artifacts for LSFG that could occur at certain resolutions and low frame rates.
Changes to DXGI capture that may improve frame rate stability and address possible other issues.

Part of the LSFG has been reworked to detect UI more effectively. As a result, a significant reduction in UI ghosting and less impact on the main image in case of incorrect detection.
