Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for Windows
Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 from the PS4 collection running natively on Windows 10 and 11, by SuperMedo. Mohammed Albarghouthi
Same idea as my Bloodborne port: the original PS4 game
code runs directly on your PC and the graphics are translated to Vulkan. Unpack the zip, start
Uncharted.exe, pick your game folder, choose a game and press PLAY.

No game files are included. You need your own decrypted dump of the collection
(CUSA02343, CUSA02320, ...: the folder with eboot.bin, big2-ps4_Shipping.elf,
big3-ps4_Shipping.elf, sce_sys, u1data, u2data and u3data).

Features
- All three games from one launcher: Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves and Drake's Deception.
- 60 FPS like on PS4, or 120 FPS (higher rates are experimental).
- Render resolution above 1080p (up to 3200x1800) and ultrawide aspect ratios: the games draw a real larger or wider picture, set in the launcher.
- Anti-aliasing with TAA, AMD FSR 3.1, AMD FSR 4 or NVIDIA DLSS (DLAA).
- Frame generation: AMD FSR 3 (any GPU) or NVIDIA DLSS (RTX 40 2x, RTX 50 up to 4x).
- Keyboard, mouse and controller together, all remappable. Mouse look in U3.
- Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 sound: the games are told the real speaker layout (it follows the Windows setting, or pick it in the launcher).
- Trophies: the games' own trophy lists in the launcher, and a notice in the game when you earn one.
- Button prompts for keyboard and mouse, Xbox or PlayStation controllers; controller vibration settings.
- Cheats page (infinite health and ammo per game), launcher languages, your own covers and Steam art.
- A Fixes page for fixes that cost speed: Automatic turns each one on only where it helps.
- Add to Steam and desktop shortcuts from the launcher, automatic updates.
Requirements
- Windows 10 (1903 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
- An Intel Core 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge) or newer, an AMD Ryzen, or an AMD FX. Older Intel CPUs
with AVX (Core 2nd and 3rd generation, Xeon E3 v1/v2): experimental, see Known problems.
- A graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 and a current driver, with 6 GB of video memory or more.
4 GB cards (GTX 1650, RX 570) run out of video memory and crash after a while; on those, keep
Anti-aliasing and Frame generation off.
- About 8 GB of free memory (RAM + page file).
Known problems
- Uncharted 3, Cartagena square (chapter 2): at high frame rates (240 Hz setting, ~80 FPS)
the game could freeze and close with "GPU crash: the graphics device was lost". It came from
the speed fix for that area and is fixed in 0.3. If it still happens to you, set Frame rate to
60 on the Display page and open an issue with your
user\last_run.log.
- Uncharted 3: green or black shapes flashing on Sully's shirt in Cartagena: the cloth
solvers raced on NVIDIA's 32-lane groups. Fixed in 0.3.9 with BilalReloaded's fix.
- Crash with "ASSERTION: GetRenderFrameParams(frameToFreeInstancesFor)->m_gfxEopTick"
(mostly U1 after the first cutscene): the game expected the GPU side to be done with a frame it
wanted to reuse, and stopped when it wasn't yet (shaders building on a first run). Fixed in
0.3.2 (0.3.4 for the 1.02 versions): the game now waits for it. If you still see it, open an
issue with your log.
- Intel HD / UHD graphics: a black screen on the HD 630 is fixed in 0.3.3. Older Intel chips
(HD 520) can still crash inside Intel's own driver.
- Uncharted 3 London bar crash (fault at
0xd9c59b, or device lost in the bar fight): fixed in
0.3.4.
- Uncharted 2 loading crashes (
ReadSync file (req/read: ...), white textures then
iSubMesh < m_numSubMeshInstances): file reads could come back cut short. Fixed in 0.3.5.
- Older CPUs: the games use instructions of the PS4's processor (AVX, BMI1, MOVBE, LZCNT).
Since 0.3.7 they are rewritten on CPUs that lack them, so Intel Core 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge)
runs, as does AMD FX. Sandy Bridge (2nd generation) also lacks F16C and is not supported.
- Random crashes with "execute access to 0" or a fault at
0x63f5d0 (U1): Windows wrote its
exception data over values the game keeps just below the stack pointer. Fixed in 0.3.7.
- Uncharted 2, train wreck:
IsFinite(deltaTransform) in character-leg-ik.cpp, fixed in 0.3.6
for the EU 1.00 version.
- Frame rates above 120 are experimental.
Building
MSYS2 CLANG64 on Windows: bash build.sh builds out\bb-probe.exe, and
bash packaging/windows/package.sh makes dist\uncharted-windows and the zip.
