[ProjectXsent]

Click HERE if you want the Style Switcher mod for the DMC HD Collection 2018 PC port.

Requirements:

• DMC3SE v1.3 (Steam or CD/DVD Retail)
• DirectX Redistributables (June 2010) [Extract the installer using WinRAR/7-Zip FIle Manager to a folder then run DXSETUP.exe]
• Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables 2015-2022 x86 and x64 (2017 is the minimum requirement)

Download and install everything. It is also required to restart your computer just to be sure.

Installation:

1. After downloading and installing all the requirements and updating the game, download the Style Switcher v3.1.6 + DMC3 Inputs Thing mod.
   OPTIONAL: Style Switcher v3.1.6 + XInput Plus - the Traditional Method for XInput devices.
2. Extract the files into the DMC3SE game folder.
3. Run "install.bat".
4. A prompt will appear that allows you to choose between "0. dinput8.dll" or "1. dsound.dll". You can actually extract both if you want to use both Controller and KB.
   • Choose "dinput8.dll" if you're gonna play using "Inputs Thing".
   • Choose "dsound.dll" if you're gonna play using "XInput Plus".
5. After choosing, the necessary files will be moved to different folders while the irrelevant ones will be moved to the "Restore" folder.
6. Run the game.

NOTE: If you want to utilize the mod features of the game, read the "documentation.html" and customize the values inside "StyleSwitcher.ini". Style Switcher and Weapon Switcher are disabled by default if you want to play the game with Vanilla experience.

Uninstallation:

1. Run "uninstall.bat" and every file and folder will be restored to the default state. The mod will be removed as well.
