I'm still diggin' inside the engine code and what I've found for now:
-Open default_pc.cfg
-Comment or delete "loadingscreenxml = Interface\LoadingScreen.xml" line;
Now the engine turns to debug mode.
-Add "enableFinalFPS = 1" line to activate ingame FPS counter;
-Add "costumeIndex = 6" line to change your costume. Value between 0 and 6. 6 means pyramidhead. This global value will replace your current costume anytime you start or continue your game.
Engine allows you to set vertical syncro by adding two lines like this:
vsync = 1
vsyncInterval = 1.
-Add "playerHealth = 100.000000" line to set your health;
This one is also global value so if you want to challenge yourself you can decrease or increase it to make your adventure much easier.

CheatEngine 6.7 Table:
mega. nz/#!74E2lQ5Y!EiAZsqbrGwwZJweDCGXD3k3kRC6EZtV2ImE1bxveKE8
This table allows you to change vertical/horizontal orientation/map width and scale.
Default values:
640.0000 //Horizontal orientation
360.0000 //Vertical orientation
1280.000000000000 //Map width
0.0007812500116415322 //Map scale
Please note: this is not a perfect solution. Only for realtime manipulation.
For example (if you set FullHD resolution):
960 //half of width
540 //half of height
1920 //width
0.0003212500116415322 //decreased scale
You will see small but full map under map screen.
The rule is: " Higher resolution - lesser scale ".
Zoom mode is under progress.

- The Cheaters Way - (if you don't want to replay from 11 to 14 level):
-Open default_pc.cfg;
-Change map = shell
to map = M15_010_010
or map = M15_020
or map = M15_030_010
or map = M15_040
or map = M15_045_010
or map = M15_060
OR if you don't want to spoil yourself you can go to the level you want:
map = M01_NIGHTMARE
map = M02_SGTOWN1
map = M03_ALEX1
map = M04_SGTOWN2
map = M05_HOTEL
map = M06_SGTOWN3
map = M06_SGTOWN3B
map = M07_DESCENT
map = M08_SGTOWN4
map = M09_ALEX2
map = M09_050B_LAKE
map = M10A_SHTOWN1
map = M10B_SHTOWN2
map = M11_PRISON
map = M13_CHURCH
map = M14_LAIR
You can also change current map with commandline argument map:%mapname%

Appreciating what you're doing. Hopefully the game can finally be made compliant.

Ah nice, actually wanted to start playing it myself.
I tried a bit of hooking and was able to get 60fps during the intro scenes but simply making the game ignore all "Sleep/SleepEx" functions.
But in game it's still 30fps, and also the intro always freezes whenever i use window mode.

Boys and girls. I have some news. I found the final solution and proud to release my patch. In short ;) How much fps you want ?

Oooooo can’t wait maybe 60FPS for me?

[unknownproject]

With proof video of course. Wait a couple minutes.

Thanks
Won't animations be broken though? I mean aren't they designed to run at specific FPS?

EDIT: Added this in my guide below:

I only patched one constant. And this constant thrice higher for now. I can manipulate with the whole animation speed.

Ahh that's cool, I ran into a problem on my side:

First I ran the game but I didn't have my controller on, so I exited the game, turned my controller on when I run the game now, it'll complain that the game crashed due to the video memory has ran out.

This will only happen till you wait at least 20-30secs after the game close then it'll work.

The patch works flawlessly by the way :) It feels so smooth. By the way, do you know why this game stops at certain points especially when it loads some part of the area?

[unknownproject]

I know the engine still works unstable but this is not my fault.
One single number changes everything with fps...
Now the next step is telling the game to force vsync.

Ahhhh I see and I know it isn't your fault but thanks for the patch :)

[unknownproject]

PCGamingWiki link added to the first post. Enjoy.
The pinnacle for this game is 120 fps but it causes extremely higher drops so I don't want to release another patch for now.

[Bananengrips]

Hey is it possible to change the speed of the camera? It's really annoying and i couldn't find options to change it
