You need an older version of SK for genshin, specifically 22.4.9.1

Download it here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/792979353117524009/961821541878886420/SpecialK.7z

If you're using SKIF you can just replace the .dll files; or just local inject them.

If using SKIF, make sure to run SKIF as admin or use the "elevated privileges" box (still in beta)

pic of screenshot Thanks,but not work for me. I think I shoud uninstall new version and install old version SKIF.

@LiuQixuan yes, you need to install the old version that I linked.

Anything else will not work.

Edit: SKIF's version does not work; you want an old version of SpecialK.dll (that I linked above)

You can replace the specialk .dll files in C:\Users[username]\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK [there should be a shortcut or folder] if you're using SKIF -- just replace the files there with the files above.

The picture above shows you are not using the right version, you need to be on version 22.4.9.1 [which again is the one I linked]

You're fine, you're on the right version now c:

As for why the image is dark; I don't know -- I'll ask some other Genshin players and see if they can help out.

You can try restarting the game a couple of times, and see if it works.

OK, I will try a few more times. Thank you very much.

@LiuQixuan

I asked some people genshin players on the SK discord, and the fix is to press Display, and set sRGB Bypass to "Passthrough", like in the picture below:

There were a few sRGB bundled changes in this commit which is most likely related to what's preventing newer versions of SK from applying the sRGB Bypass stuff: https://github.com/SpecialKO/SpecialK/commit/c9b942f6b27774f7143f62baaf4341b491028c77

Thank you very much. I checked the settings, modified it according to your method, the problem is solved, everything works fine now. I also saw other articles before saying that sRGB bypass was changed to strip, and I forgot to change it back. I have only used SpecialK recently, and I will go to discord to communicate with other people and learn how to use it in the future. Thanks.

Oh, I forgot -- I'll leave this issue open to track the issue with the sRGB Bypass in newer versions of Special K. Hopefully we might solve that one so newer versions become compatible again.

Wasn't this issue fixed long ago? It looks like I don't need an old version of SK anymore. And I don't see that mentioned anywhere 🤷‍♂️

Maybe for Genshin Impact, but we've had other games where the sRGB Bypass ended up being an issue (e.g. Rise of the Tomb Raider in DX11 mode).

We have a separate issue ticket for Rise of the Tomb Raider so closing this one.
