[Tutorial & Tool] Unlocking the framerate to 60FPS (new patch)

[MarshallRawR]

Edit 4/24/21: Hey there. I've finally updated my tool[i.imgur.com] for L.A Noire. As a reminder, this is a one button solution to unlock your framerate. Here's a small Q&A. Feedback is welcomed.

Added the tool in the guide section! Feel free to check it out!

Q: How do I use this tool?
A: Open my tool. Start the game, once in the main menu, press F10 (wait a few seconds. You'll hear one beep when it starts, and a different beep once the tool is done.)

Q: Why does my AV detects this tool as potentially malicious?
A: Cheat Engine is partially incorporated in this tool and may trigger some AVs. Despite my best efforts it can't be resolved. Add it to the exceptions list of your AV

Q: Do I need Cheat Engine installed to use this?
A: You shouldn't. It should be incorporated inside the tool as previously stated.

Q: Do I need to use this tool every time I start the game?
A: Yes.

Hey there,
I figured I'd make this post as a proper fix to something like Widescreen Fixer is unlikely (though I contacted the author but that tool hasn't been updated since 2016). I'm a bit confused why I saw a comment about Cheat Engine and ArtMoney not working with L.A Noire latest's patch. These tools scan for memory addresses and modifies them, that's it. Just get the new address and you're good. Anyway here's the TLDR for you guys:

With Cheat Engine:

1* Load up Cheat Engine
2* Select the L.A Noire process
3* Type[i.imgur.com] the value as 59.94000 / "Scan Type" as "Exact Value" and "Value Type" as "Float"
4* Click on "First Scan" (shown as New Scan on my screenshot)
5* One value should show up. Double click on it
6* Double click[i.imgur.com] on the value that shows up at the bottom of CE and enter 119.88 and OK.

The framerate[i.imgur.com] should now be unlocked up to 60FPS.

With ArtMoney:

1* Load up ArtMoney
2* Select the L.A Noire process
3* Click "Search" and enter these values:[i.imgur.com]
4* Two values[i.imgur.com] will come up. Double click on the first one. It's never the same value but it's fine.
5* On the right side, double click on "Value" and change it[i.imgur.com] to 119.88 and hit enter.
This will lock the value at 60FPS.

You're done![i.imgur.com] You'll have to do this every time you start the game of course. Enjoy

I can confirm this works with Cheat Engine for anyone looking to use 60fps after the newest update. However, upon first applying this fix, I only get between 45 and 50fps and it's rather choppy. In order for me to make the 60fps stick perfectly, I have to go into the LA Noire display options and change my resolution to something else and then back again. For instance, I run my games in 4k, so I have to change LA Noire to say, 1080p and then apply it. Then change it back to 4k/60 and it'll work perfectly at 60fps. I had to use this same procedure before, though, with the old 60fps methods. Glad to see we can still use 60fps! Thank you, OP!

always wonder why this game never had a 60 fps patch officially

works

Technically, 60fps breaks vehicle physics. But, I use the term "breaks" loosely. The vehicles just become a little more floaty and hard to control. It's nothing that you can't adjust to by just being a little gentle with the controls when you're driving. It's totally worth it to me as the game is gorgeous at 60fps. I'll bet that's why Rockstar never released an official patch, because they weren't going to recode the engine to make the cars behave perfectly and they probably would've considered it a broken patch if the cars weren't perfect.

I can confirm Cheat Engine works, but is there any way to make this easier ?

I tried saving the tables, but it doesn't seem to work unless you set the whole thing up from scratch every time you launch the game

I'll try to look into an automated method but I think it might be past my abilities.

EDIT: Good news is that I may have a tool for you guys that would be a simple one click solution. The bad one is that because I made it thanks to CE, my antivirus doesn't like it. I'm trying to make sure it doesn't freak out AVs for no reason if possible.

I'm not having this issue, I only play in regular 1080P though. You're welcome by the way, enjoy the game!

As for the whole 60FPS and physics, yes it's mostly the vehicles physics that are affected. I personally find it playable. The face animations do work, they just get a bit blurry but it's worth the trade-off for me. There's also a section early game where you supposedly need to cap at 30FPS while chasing a guy or a car will hit him and fail the mission. It's true, but I personally managed to pass it with 60FPS. Thanks everyone for replying.

Alright, I added a tool to patch the framerate easily. While it works great on my end, some feedback would be appreciated. You shouldn't need Cheat Engine installed to use it as it's incorporated inside the tool itself. Please read the warning about AVs before commenting about it, I'm aware of the issue. Thank you all

Need something else other then using a cheat program. You forget it's running and go play a vac enabled mp game and boom your hit with a vac ban or a rockstar mp game and boom banned by them. This fix is no good at all and no self respecting person would use it. Same thing is offered for max payne. All it takes is one time you forgot it's running in the background and boom vac or game ban for life. I say avoid cheat engine for any and every thing.

Same above for that art money.

Hi thank you for posting,
I understand your concerns but there is virtually no way to modify the FPS other than to modify the game's memory while it's running. Widescreen Fixer and other are doing the same thing. I totally understand your concerns, though I doubt having CE running would cause a VAC ban. As long as you're not injecting anything, it's just another program. Of course some anti-cheat might kick you if they detect CE running but that should be about it. In the case of my tool, it just loads some of CE to do the injection and that's it. I'm currently trying to see if I can modify my tool to instead of being a button, make it a hotkey and to make the tool shut itself entirely after activation. No fear of forgetting stuff then. Other than that, all I can say is to be careful. Thanks!

Maybe you can use your same program for a widescreen fix. But if you can shut it down after it does it's thing that would be nice.

Hey there. I'd love to provide a widescreen fix but this time for real, it is outside my league. The folks who made Widescreen Fixer are very talented people, and looking through the multiple updates they did back then, they had problems with the map, menu etc... not working and all that. As for the auto shutdown, I've updated my tool and hope to release the new version soon with now a hotkey instead of a button to click and auto-close after it's done patching

[MarshallRawR]

Updated the post with the latest version of my unlocker. If everything is working fine, this should be the final version. I hope you guys enjoy it. Take care

I there such a way to Hexedit the exe to implement a permanent solution?

[Hymen BTFOer]

This is really good man, but there's a weird effect going on with the faces; it looks sort of uncanny and I'm not sure if it's because of your mod or if the game is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ like by default (this is my first time playing LA Noire). You can see what I mean in this vid:
https://streamable.com/59uw60
I'm guessing this is because the mocap was at 30 frames a second and because the game is running at 60, it ♥♥♥♥♥ up a bit. Especially at the end of that vid. Any possible solutions to this?

[Terror-Billy]

Thank you very much for this fix. It runs perfect. Good job
