Final Fantasy XV is is an open world action-adventure game in the Final Fantasy series that was developed and published by Square Enix, with assistance from HexaDrive and XPEC Entertainment.
Originally released worldwide on Playstation 4 and Xbox One on November 29, 2016, the game was later released on PC as Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition which includes everything from Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition, alongside many additional new features, gameplay, and story content such as new Nvidia GameWorks rendering effects not previously seen in console releases.[3]
A benchmark and demo are both available. The game also contains support for the Steam Workshop which is used for modding. An official Mod organizer is available here (for Origin and Microsoft Store) and Steam version via the Steam store.

Essential improvements
Special K - FFXV Mini-Mod
- Allows users to block certain input devices to prevent the game from hitching every time it loads the icon for another input device.
- Lowers the Steam API overhead of the game; provides more stable frame render times and shorter loading times on certain hardware configurations.
- Includes options that fix thread scheduling options in some threads, that causes starvation on graphics/audio threads.
Game data
- Saved games from the Microsoft Store / Game Pass version can be manually transferred to Steam and Origin, see this reddit post.
- The Steam and Origin versions do not respect a relocated Documents folder unless symlinks are used.

Save game data location
- You can backup the save games by backing up the folders slotNUM. To import the save games back, copy slotNUM folders to their corresponding folders (e.g. "slot8" folder replace "slot8" folder). The NUM must match; otherwise, it won't work.
- A simple way to test if an imported save game can work is to temporarily append the string "_orig" to the end of the current save game folder (e.g. rename the current "slot8" folder to "slot8_orig"), copy the intended slotNUM folder, then revert back or delete slotNUM_orig folder after done testing.
- After importing the save games, the screenshot previews of the save games will remain the same as the previous save game, but the save games shall be different once you've loaded the save game. If you need the screenshot preview to be updated, then you can re-save in the same slot.

Issues fixed
Stuttering
Add game executable as exception to Windows Security's Control Flow Guard (CFG)[14] |
---|
Disable button prompts
- This is an alternative to disabling input devices with the Special K mod, see Essential improvements.
Disable the "Guide" in the in-game settings[15] |
---|
Broken ambient occlusion
- While using the 1360x768 resolution, and possibly others, ambient occlusion may be broken (most noticeable on cars during the daytime, while moving the camera).[16]
Try a different resolution (1280x720 and 1920x1080 don't have this problem) |
---|
Set resolution-scaling to %125 (in the "Graphics" menu) |
---|
Disable Ambient Occlusion |

Notes
- ↑ Business Division 2[1]
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/637650/
. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (637650) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
- ↑ If Steam Cloud Saves are enabled for the game, it will always use this location for save games even in Steam "Offline Mode" and when disconnected from the Internet. The contents of this folder can be changed while playing the game, and are reflected when choosing 'Load' from the title screen or in-game menu. Save games must be copied into the same slot folder or usually no saves will appear, though sometimes saves will only be missing.
- ↑ If Steam Cloud Saves are disabled for the game, it will always use this location for save games even in Steam "Offline Mode" and when disconnected from the Internet. This location is always used for the game configuration files, even if Steam Cloud Saves are enabled.
