So, in the great PC ports thread some people didn't know this actually happened, but this is from 30th last month. Would have made a thread for it, but was on phone, and afterwards forgot. For those who don't know the PC version is capped at 60fps.

Someone allegedly found a way to uncap the framerate.

Can confirm this works to no ill effect (for the five minutes I've spent with it). Seems as though it might have been an arbitrary cap all along.

Need to test it more. IIRC someone found the framerate earlier but it bugs out on cutscenes or something.

I don't own the game, have no idea what happened since.

From that steam thread by the guy who unlocked it:

Ok it seems that i found the exact integer that controls the cap, it didnt mess up any of my settings

and here is my proof of breaking the cap!

For me it was edit MGSV_Local_Config_GL_EN 01

thats located at

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\50408844\311340\local

and open it up in HxD

and go to offset 00000040 and row 0C and delete that two digit entry. that SHOULD fix it, just dont mess with any settings in the game

or if you cant get that working just try to use my save file:

Blessed pc mods.

If this really works without issue, then this was a weird lock.

If only I didn't have a 60hz monitor, I bet this is glorious at 120+ fps.

I'm tempted to buy it just to try.

 

[Nzyme32]

Need to see if it can function without issues, but from what I've read around about it, no problems have been found just yet

 

[Dio Brando]

NICE. although i dont have a >60Hz monitor, i'm happy for you guys/gals that do. Hope Konami/KojiPro ends up patching this, if there is no problem after unlocking.

What's it like going from 60 fps to 120 fps?

 

[NIN90]

Yeah looks like I'm gonna buy the game on PC after all. When it's 50% off.

Kidding, gonna have to try this later. Hopefully the same trick works on MGSVPP

Probably not much different in this game, but for competitive fast paced games it's a whole new world.

Forget game improvement, the smoothness of the desktop environment alone is worth the jump.

 

[luca_29_bg]

Why nobody has uncapped silent hill homecoming ? It should be the same hardcoded cap in the exe ?

If you use motion blur reduction it's about the same gap as 30 to 60.

It's beautiful.

provided you have a 120hz+ monitor of course.

 

[Dictator93]

Do you guys also think it is possible to increase the motionblur exaggeration or amount? It is pretty low by default and I would love to pump it up.

It's really more fluid and definitely noticeable. It's hard to imagine it without seeing it though and as someone else has already mentioned, the difference it does to the desktop browsing, internet etc the mouse movement feels incredibly smooth and precise.
