According to the steam forums, Kal is working to incorporate the hooks into FAR so he can either do it in his mod or hook into DrDaxxy's dll if he wants to build it.
It's coming if we just sit tight, I think.

Not yet. Maybe eventually. The article jumped the gun big time.
Very short dips when loading new areas? That could be the streaming issue. Some people have reported running the game from an SSD helps with that.
Otherwise, check you've got AA disabled. Solid 60fps @ 1080p with only post processing AA (not MSAA) and everything else turned up should be very easy to get with your setup.
Yeah I'm just going to wait. I can't play until tonight anyways.
Reencoding the video files from MPEG 1 to MPEG 4 seems to work for some people.

I just move it out of the way when I start the game. It's annoying, I know :/
Same here. But I gotta move it to the right because it still shows when moving it to the left, lol
Are you liking the motion blur? It looks terrible to me from videos, but I didn't actually test it while playing myself. I do generally enjoy motion blur, btw, so it's not a case of always turning it off like some people seem to.
SF V had a similar motion blur on higher settings, that actually make me run the post proc. option at Medium settings just to get rid of that.

I am not using it. Because i don't have to. Changing resolutions and fullscreen works for me.
Ugh. :/
I hope they will patch this.
The game has fantastic object motion blur.
I'd classify it, the particle effects, character animations and volumetric lighting in some scenes as its graphical highlights.
(And I'm someone who hates bad motion blur implementations and often turns them off entirely)
Are you using Kaldaien's fix? I have the same hardware, without the fix I have not experience any frame drops at all, 1080p, 2xAA, everything else max.
Seems like you have a much lower tolerance for shitty motion blur than me, then. I guess I'll give it a shot
You just blew my mind.
I only have to deal with the mouse showing on screen when I play this over my Steam Link. I forget the Steam Link lets you use KB+M so I kept going to the other room the move the mouse over (like the dummy I am). This is a way better solution lol
Same here, with the Kaldaien fix I had frequent pauses/frame drops as it was streaming in new world data - without the fix it was a near perfect 60fps.
Would rather live with the bad 900p upscaled than have constant frame drops, so I reverted the fix.
Try capping the framerate to 60 using Rivatuner, I experienced framedrops with Kfix but not with rivatuner.
Nah, I'm fine with the 900p picture for now. Won't touch anything until an official patch.
The fullscreen fix alleviates some really annoying interdependent multi-monitor, refresh rate and screen tearing problems I was having to work around in borderless mode on my pretty straightforward setup.
Glad I can finally concentrate on playing the game, shame that it took a fan patch.

From the discussions going on, it seems the performance fix should be out by later tonight hopefully. Always amazes me when communities work together to fix developers mishaps.
As far as I'm aware, the mixed results are all relative to his framepacing tool, but you can disable that and still get the other benefits, or just disable everything and just keep the fullscreen fix.
I'm wondering if I should uninstall the current Kaldaien patch, since the new one is hopefully hitting tonight.
Thing is, the drops happened frequently in the combat rooms in the Prologue.
Yeah AA is off, maybe 1440p resolution is causing an issue?
Hmm, interesting. I do have Kaldaien's fix installed, maybe that's exacerbating the drops in frame-rate. I should probably try this Borderless Gaming thing.

how do you join the testing branch?
I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but did you reboot your PC since installing the game? I'm only asking because I was getting 40fps in combat rooms in the first mission, even at 900p, and went and bought a new graphics card (that should arrive this week), but the next day I tested again and for whatever reason it ran the same part much better, 60 fps with a few drops here and there. So I'm assuming it's because of that.

Download the latest release from the Github repository. Here's a direct link to the release list: https://github.com/Kaldaien/FAR/releases.
I'm downloading it ASAP to see how things work. Honestly, this game has one of the worst implementations of realtime or semi-realtime Global Illumination I've ever seen, so being able to dial it back is a welcomed improvement. (Since, as far as I can tell, it doesn't do very much)
Being able to (hopefully) bump up the resolution will be a huge boon to mitigating the awful aliasing.
Download the installer then on the right change it to testing branch.

Woah, what card are they using? If I can do 4k with my oc'd 980ti with the global illumination fix... that would be pretty great.
But is it really a "fix"? From my understading, it's just lowering a setting. As much of a fix as getting better performance by turning off Motion Blur, or Anti-Aliasing.
Of course, it may still be worth it, but we need more thorough testing and comparisons.
I'm sure they'd dial it back to get some more frames on PS4 if it made no difference.

Looks like Reshade might not work with this version of FAR (unfortunately). Seems to crash to game as soon as it's loaded.

Can someone recap what the fix does to global illumination?

You mean I may be able to play at 1440p? Niiice

Thanks. Which screen is which btw, is the left or the right the original? Edit: presumably the original is left based on the FPS counter I didn't notice before.
Left one, lower fps one.
