FPS Unlocker Mod

[The Guy]

About the mod

This mod allows for you to unlock the full potential of your system and to run Final Fantasy XII at whatever framerate you desire! This also comes with some other goodies, such as the ability to modify the field of view, gamma, in-game multiplier variables to anything, focus-based framerate scaling, and more!

Hey fellas, I started working on this a couple days ago, and now it's mostly functional. There's still some bugs and all, I'm working on them. If you find any bugs, please post them onto the github page.

Update 1: I have made numerous bugfixes and some optimizations to the mod. It should work in most in game scenereos now. Please keep this[github.com] issue in mind, and set your target framerate acoordingly.

Hey i downloaded the mod and put it into the game folder that contains the game exe which is what i assumed you're supposed to do since i couldn't find any installation instructions.

Anyway whenever i run the application it says that *Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this file*

Despite running it with administrator priviledges it still refuses to run.

It doesn't matter what folder the mod exe is in.

Seems like some sort of hardware issue. What're you running?

Actually i did an oopsie. I checked my AV logs and it was blocking the program from running. Problem solved!

And also how do i adjust the parameters for the app in game? i couldn't find a keybind. Or do i have to do that within the app itself?

In the directory of the app, after running it there will be a file names "fpsconfig.ini", you can edit that.

Released an update earlier today. This adds a menu that allows you to modify the config in game.

[TROOPER181st]

great!

So when I launch the .exe file and open the menu, there seems to be 'Config' and 'Stats' tabs. How do you change to those tabs?

Those tabs are not implemented in that prerelease.

...Oh. I'm guessing by the fact you knew I was using the 12 prerelease that 11 doesn't have the tabs?

And right now those tabs are just a sign of things to come. Seems odd (to me, anyway) to have something that could confuse people as to how to access it when it's impossible, and not just implement those tabs when they do have a use, but...eh, you must've had some reason to add them early. *shrug*

Also doesn't seem to work in fullscreen, only windowed. That's...disappointing, to be honest.

All versions before the update 12 prerelease only have the terminal window. I suggest using Version 11 for better functionality, as I am still working on some issues with activley modifying the fps scale coef. In Update 12 if you don't hit your desired framerate in a loading screen, animations and such will be incredibly slow.

I expected to supersede the prerelease far more quickly, and those tabs will be added then. Currently reverse engineering 3 potential culprits of the issue I explained above, whenever I finish that and have a solution for my issue, you can expect an updated version of the program.
Until then, the prerelease for update 12 is for two things:
1. The menu and how it looks. I want feedback on this so that I can improve it.
2. The reimplementation for modifying in game values, if any bugs come up related to that (such as the one I mentioned earlier), I will intend to find a solution for and fix them.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

It should work in Windowed/Borderless. It doesn't work in full screen because my implementation is currently generating a new window on top of the game window. In the future I will detour the game's End Scene method and draw the menu there (which will fix this) but until then, full screen will not work.

Thank you for answering my questions, The Guy, and Prerelease 12's window does look and feel functional, and would allow people to change FPS and other settings on the fly, as opposed to having to quit the mod and edit the .ini file then relaunch.

i installed mod version 11 and i capped the framerate to 90 fps like this :

In game frametime target. [Default: 60, Recommended: A limit that your PC can hit]
Framerate=90.000000

but still it goes way beyond that ; 144fps ( my monitor is 144hz ) the only way to capp it ..is to do it with MSI afterburner and select the game exe to be capped at 90 fps..

But even than every movement above 60 fps is super fast .. am i doing something wrong ( again ) ?

Make sure that full speed mode is disabled:

# Disable the framerate limit completely by erasing related opcodes. [Default: Off, Recommended: Off]
Enable_Full_Speed_Mode=0

If you open the program after loading into the game, you will have to change scenes for the game speed to normalize.
Make sure gsync and any sort of vsync is disabled

many thanks!
the slowmotion cutscenes are still unsolved?
or are my settings just plain wrong?

I still have not solved the cutscene issue.
