Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection PC port 0.1.0 (beta)

on GitHub

The first release of the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection PC port by BilalReloaded
(YouTube, GitHub).
Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves and Drake's Deception run natively on Windows: the games' own
x86-64 code runs on the PC, a runtime supplies the PS4 system libraries, and a Vulkan renderer
(built on shadPS4's) executes the PS4 GPU work.

No game files are included. You need your own dump of the Collection (CUSA02344). This
project is not affiliated with Sony, Naughty Dog or Bluepoint Games.

Install

1. Download Uncharted-windows.zip below and extract it anywhere.
2. Start Uncharted Launcher.exe and select your game folder (the dumped CUSA02344 folder with
   eboot.bin and sce_sys, often called uroot).
3. Recommended: update 1.02. Extract it next to the game folder, named like it plus -patch
   (for example CUSA02344-patch). The launcher's Advanced tab shows the version in use.
4. Pick a game and a preset and press PLAY. The first start of each game compiles shaders:
   expect a slow first load and some stutter until the cache has filled.

Requirements: Windows 10/11 64-bit, a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and a current driver, 16 GB RAM, a
fast CPU (the PS4's GPU command processing runs on the CPU).

What works

• All three games from one launcher, with per-game settings and quality presets (720p to 4K;
  Drake's Fortune up to 1620p, upscaled with FSR 1).
• Saves, audio (music, speech, effects), cutscene movies, the Collection menu.
• Keyboard and mouse with mouse look and remappable controls per game; DualSense, DualShock 4 and
  Xbox controllers.
• In-game menu: Insert or R3 + L2 (display mode, frame-rate limit, sharpening, overlay).

Fixed for this release (highlights)

• Uncharted 2: crashes at treasure pickups and in the Treasures screen; Nate floating or
  invisible; a crash with multithreaded rendering; the frame rate falling over minutes of play;
  stalls in heavy scenes.
• Faster heavy scenes: every preset now queues 2 frames, so the CPU prepares the next frame
  while the GPU draws. Uncharted 2's museum at 1080p: 44-47 FPS before, 56-59 now.
• Drake's Fortune: bullet impacts, bullet holes and blood; cutscene movie colours at 1620p;
  dark interiors (fire and flashlight light).
• All games: grey/black ground and unlit characters; missing sound effects; frame-rate limit
  capped at 120 (faster breaks the games' movement); launcher and in-game menu settings stay in
  step.

Full list: CHANGELOG.md.

Recommended settings

• Start with the Medium preset (1080p, as on PS4); High and Ultra need a fast GPU.
• Multithreaded rendering: leave it off, or in Uncharted 2 use it only with
  Frames queued 1 (see below).
• Drake's Fortune at 4K: turn on Upscale with FSR 1 (it renders at most 1620p).
• Frame-rate limit: 60 is the PS4's; 120 is experimental.

Known issues

• Some heavy Uncharted 2 scenes still dip below 60 FPS with short hitches (frames of 35-50 ms
  a few times a second). Work on them continues.
• Multithreaded rendering with Frames queued 2 can end Uncharted 2 with the game assert
  m_gfxEopTick after a few minutes.
• Uncharted 3 has had less play testing than the other two games.
• Report problems with the log from the launcher's Advanced → Open log folder.

Automatic updates from the launcher are coming with the next version.
