Hi everyone,

I've created a Bloodborne PC Enhanced Installer to make setting up the unofficial PC port easier, with a curated selection of graphical enhancements and quality-of-life mods.

Project page & download: https://www.mulderland.com/games/bloodborne

Update 10/11/2026:

The installer (v26.10.10) has been updated to auto-detect the OS and installs the linux version of the fork on Linux and Steam Deck.

For now the installer targets the Linux v0.5 - not the v0.51 as it seems to have problems with Nvidia and other custom setups.

On Windows, it's still using the v1.6 of the Supermedo's fork.

What's included ?

The installer verifies the integrity of the PKG files, automates their extraction and the setup of the unofficial port of Bloodborne, "bloodborne_pc", applies a conservative default configuration focused on stability (60 FPS, Two-stage GPU Pipeline disabled), and installs the following enhancements:

• Xbox Controller prompts + 4K Upscaled UI (by MoxIsABox)
• Upscaled Skybox and Clouds (by johnnycoax)
• Auto refill from storage (by LordTPS)
• Coldblood Items Show Value (by BaseIDev)
• Lamp2Lamp: Warp Between Lamps (by Disschorde)
• Ebrietas Charge Hitbox Fix (by thetrashlp)

The goal is to preserve a mostly vanilla experience while making a few welcome improvements along the way. All mods are enabled by default, but can of course be disabled individually through BBPort's configuration menu (Bloodborne.exe)

Who am I?

Some of you may know me from my Enhancement Packs for various older games, including Resident Evil and Hitman titles, or my universal downgraders for Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE.

I'm the creator of Mulderland, a project focused on making game modding, modernization, and downgrading easier through automated installers.

To be clear, I'm not the creator of the Bloodborne PC port or the included mods.

My contribution is to provide an easy-to-use automated installer with a curated selection of mods. Putting everything together takes several hours of integration, scripting, and testing. All original authors are properly credited on my website and within the installer.

All my installers are open source, and every binary is built directly from source using GitHub Actions. Feel free to inspect the code: https://github.com/Mulderland/MulderLoad/blob/main/games/bloodborne/byof-installer.nsi

Crashes or Bugs

Default configuration seems to work for 90-95% of users but it's still not perfect. If having crashes or bugs, here what you can try:

• Change the Upscaler (or disable it)
• Avoid to go higher than 60 FPS (the default configuration does that already)
• Disable the mod "highresskyv2.0"

(specially for missing textures or randomy invisible ennemies !)

• Disable all the mods (untick "Load mods")
• Disable "Two-stage GPU Pipeline" (the default configuration does that on Windows, but not on Linux as it helps a lot Steam Deck performance...)
• You may also try that: https://www.reddit.com/r/BloodbornePC/comments/1x1gshy/comment/pevq2na/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
• Give feedback here with details (OS, Resolution, Upscaler...)

Notes

• You must provide your own legally obtained Bloodborne game files and v1.09 update (CUSA03173). They are not included or distributed by this installer; their integrity is checked during installation.
• The default configuration prioritizes stability, but you can of course customize it to your liking through Bloodborne.exe

I hope this makes getting Bloodborne up and running on PC a little easier for everyone!

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. If you find this project useful, feel free to upvote this post or share it on X to help other hunters discover it!

Happy hunting,
Mulder

FINAL UPDATE: This is not actually a native port, tho the developer aims to make it more close to one. It runs better than ShadPS4 anyway.

For the past year I was struggling to play with ShadPS4 on my PC, because I have pretty old hardware. I don't think this project is a native port (UPDATE: the project title says it is), but it's definitely not emulation either. It works really well!

It's currently only on Linux but I've heard the developer is working on Windows builds.

I should thank the developer very much for this fantastic work. Finally I can play this game with ease :)

Please visit the project repo and support the developer with a star

My PC specs:
CPU: Intel i5-9400
GPU: AMD RX580
Memory: 16 GB

(As you can see there is some mini stutters but I can tweak the FSR and other settings to make it better, but I'm sure with newer hardware it won't even happen.)

UPDATE: I passed the questions and criticisms on to the developer at this link. If you’re interested, follow along.

I made a custom shadPS4 build that adds DLSS Super Resolution and FSR to Bloodborne. It lets you render internally at a lower resolution and upscale to 1440p or 4K, making higher resolutions much easier to run while producing a cleaner and much sharper image.

Even a 720p → 4K DLSS upscale has decent image quality, while using roughly one-tenth the GPU load in my testing.

DLSS is used on RTX cards and FSR on everything else (AMD, Intel, older NVIDIA). You can switch between them in the F1 menu.

Keep the "Disable Motion Blur" patch off. It breaks upscaling, and the build already turns the blur off for you.

Update: FSR 3.1 and 4 is added.

Windows only. Source and download:

Thanks to @Burito_28 with https://github.com/deadinside28/bloodborne_pc.

Managed to get 50–60 FPS in the DLC, while the base game runs at 60–70 FPS at 4K with DLSS 4 Quality on a 3070.

Meanwhile, in shadPS4, it's 40–50 FPS in the DLC at 1440p. At 4K it's around 30 FPS with constant crashes due to the 8GB VRAM.

You can clearly see the difference in visual fidelity.

So, i was just trying to see what performance i can hit with bloodborne with my integrated graphics system and it's funny, it's running at 360p@30fps like a true PS1 era classic.

System specs:

Ryzen 5 5600gt

Integrated graphics (vega 7)

16gb ddr4 ram(single channel)

It's October again so naturally, Bloodborne marathon! The first time i beat this game was last October, and I went hard completing everything i could, even all the chalice dungeons. By the time I reached the DLC, all the bosses felt super easy and i was a little disappointed. Even Orphan of Kos only took 1 attempt, but that's probably RNG.

Anyway, I have defeated Rom, The One Reborn, Martyr Logarius, and Amygdala just to give you an idea of where i'm at. I have the key to the Upper Cathedral Ward, and i'm wondering if i should use the key and explore that area or if i should do Nightmare of Mensis or if i should go do the DLC?

Please give me the ideal order where things don't ever feel too easy. I'm doing an Skill/Arcane build, I have 35 vigor 32 skill and 20 arcane and I've been using the Burial Blade (spawned it in).

If i do the DLC, should i complete it all in one go or save certain bosses for after specific events?
