I've gotten a few messages regarding game crashes after applying these changes, I however do not believe that the changes in this guide are responsible for these crashes. Instead it might be because your graphics card does not properly or fully support DX12. Before following this guide please make sure your graphics card is fully DX12 compatible.

you can find your graphics card's information on this site's database:

Unlock FPS in config file.
The setup
Before we can start, we have to tell the game how much FPS we want to have at most at any time, this can be achieved by doing the following:

Step 1:
In Windows, search for "%appdata%" You're now in the "Roaming" Folder, we don't wish to be here, go 1 step up from the current folder into "appdata\local"
Step 2:
Locate "SongOfHorror" In Local.
Step 3:
Locate the following: Saved --> Config --> WindowsNoEditor
Step 4:
Open " GameUserSettings.ini " in a text editor (I recommend just using notepad)
Step 5:
Locate "FrameRateLimit" Within the config folder and change it to the desired amount.
(Make sure to avoid non-decimal numbers to avoid any issues. Ex: 120❌ 120.0✔️)
Step 6:
Save the file and exit out of it.

You're now ready to start improving FPS!

FPS increase
Step 1:
Head to the game's location in your steam library
Step 2:
Right click the game and open "properties"
Step 3:
Navigate to "Launch options"
Step 4:
Paste the following arguments into the box:
-USEALLAVAILABLECORES -d3d12 -high

This will do the following:
    -USEALLAVAILABLECORES
  • force the game to use all your CPU's cores.
  • -d3d12
  • force renders the game in D3D12 (DX12) instead of D3D11 (DX11) Allowing for higher GPU usage and FPS.
  • -high
  • set the priority of the process to "High", this will allow the game to use more resources than normal.


Note:
The game MIGHT take slightly longer to start with these changes due to force using DX12. However, in my experience this is very minimal and 100% worth the FPS boost.


And now: The comparison

Hope this helps others as much as it helped me! :)
