Mod that uncaps the framerate?

I was thinking about buying the game until i saw that it was capped at 30fps. Is there a mod that uncaps it, or at least caps it at 60fps?

all versions are 30 and they look fine so why not try and in case it doesnt fit you refund?

The game is gorgeous in 30 fps. 60 fps would be nice but I don't think it's at all necessary

Unlike most games build for console and ported to PC, Okami was ported carefully to ensure frame time calculations are accurate, so 30 fps doesn't produce a choppy mess as much as other console ports locked at 30 tend to do. Is obviously not ideal, if you know what you're looking for you'll still see that it's not as smooth as if it was running at 60 fps. But there are no frames repeated 3 times or frames skipped because of poor time calculations so it looks as smooth as 30 could ever look.

In other words, you might want to give it a try. Maybe buy it, play a couple of hours and pan the camera around to see how it runs, and If you don't like it then refund it right away. Just a suggestion.

It hurts my eyes at 30.

Doubt it would be that bad.

Many have this issue, if you've played at a higher refersh rate all the time (Like me) it can give you headaches and eyestrain to go lower.

That sucks. You can always try playing on a TV instead of PC monitor. It might help a little bit, though if you're that used to higher framerates even that might not help.

I used to have the same problem, but I guess it's a matter of getting used to lower framerates. When I played almost everything at 100+ fps I got so used to it that 60 fps looked bad, and 30 would literally hurt. Even though it never happened to me before I discovered high refresh rate monitors.

But since not all games support higher refresh rates, I didn't have a choice but to get used to lower frames in some games. And weirdly enough, after playing games at various framerates I no longer have that issue really. Lower framerates still look bad, but I get used to them in a matter of minutes now.

So if you don't want to miss out on games just because of that issue, you might want to try playing games at slightly lower framerates than you're used to, and gradually go lower until you get used to it again.
