DS2FrameUnlimiter

# DS2FrameUnlimiter 

Mod that disables the games default framelimiter, and fixes the speedup issue that would normally happen when framelimit is disabled.

Health/stamina drain & regen should match with 60FPS, and damage appears to match up too.

Unfortunately this can have an effect on weapon degradation - doesn't seem to be constant though, looks like hits have a small chance of being processed twice (even in the unmodded game), but as FPS increases the chance of it happening does too... trying to look into it, hopefully might find some workaround for it eventually.

For now if you want to try this out, it may be worth using a trainer to disable weapon degradation.

While the main game speed is fixed by this there could still be other things in the game with their speed tied to framerate - haven't found anything too broken yet from what I tried so far, but wasn't really able to test that much by myself yet.

Treat this as a proof of concept / very-beta-quality fix for now!

Issues fixed

• []Game speed should now be consistent across framerates

  []Jump height & distance should match across framerates (mostly, may have some issues with rolling after jump...)

  []Animated textures such as water textures will now animate fine when using non-fixed deltatimes

  []Cloth physics speed should match across framerates (though cloth may still act different depending on FPS)

Setup

• []Backup your save games (WinKey+R, %APPDATA%\DarkSoulsII\ ...)

  []Extract the xinput1_3.dll & DS2FrameUnlimiter.ini files from the ZIP next to your DarkSoulsII.exe

  []Edit the DS2FrameUnlimiter.ini as desired

  []Recommended: setup a framelimit on the game, if using DS2LightingEngine you can edit ds2le_user_settings.ini and change framerate to your desired limit, and set frame_limiter_policy to 1 or 2. (if not using DS2LightingEngine, you can set a frame limit through NVIDIA Control Panel, or by using RTSS)

  []Launch the game

  []If you run into any issues, please report them on this page!

Troubleshooting

[]Check whether DS2FrameUnlimiter.log file was created next to game, and that it mentions "apply successful" inside it.

[]If log mentions "EXE timestamp doesn't match target EXE", you're probably on an older version of the game, this only supports the 2022 update (v1. 03) atm.

[*]Open your GPU control panel & browse for your DarkSoulsII.exe manually (don't u
