[Unofficial] Uncap FPS mod

GenL · 10-17-2010, 03:51 PM

Not sure if i'm breaking any rule with this (there is a hope i won't get banned

), but at least it is related and should be useful to someone.

In short: this fix will disable 30fps cap. You will get real fps that your system can handle, or fps=hz in case of Vsync=on (60, 75, 85, 120 etc).

Developer said 30fps cap was necessary because otherwise physics would break horribly... I hope they overlooked something and it will be fixed in the update (if it will ever get released) - nobody from testers noticed anything wrong with physics.

Now about the fix. It will:
- modify MKM3DLoader.dll file (this may break EULA). A backup will be created by default.
- create fps.dll file to the game folder. This file will set FPS cap to 0 (zero) when you run the game.

It will not:
- modify Bladekitten.exe file.
- work with Atari version.

Download the fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?ym4sp7smci5wq5v
Download test version of the fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?5iym7pfo7a9zpqm
(test version will let you choose between 0, 60 and 120 fps cap)

To revert changes you may:
- delete fps.dll file.
- replace MKM3DLoader.dll with a backed up .bak copy.

i would maybe test it if it wasn't an upx packed exe file.

if you can upload the modified MKM3DLoader.dll together with the fps.dll in a zipfile or 7-zip file, then i would maybe try it.

You can unpack it manually with

Code:

upx -d blade.kitten.steam-fps.mod.rls.exe

Get upx at upx.sf.net.

will try later. Thanks.

Works brilliantly here. The game went from completely unplayable to buttery smooth for me (as I was getting headaches and eye pain from the 30 FPS cap). Game runs 60 FPS constant now (v-sync + triple buffering).

Thanks a lot GenL! You saved the game for me

Menacia · 10-18-2010, 11:48 AM

just did a quick test run and it looks great. Will report again when I played through it.

One question: Will this still allow for Achievements?

What makes you think it won't? I didn't notice anything wrong while testing...

Well, the .exe isn't modified, that's true, but wouldn't want to apply a fix if it caused Steam to nullify me for mah cheevos (not that I'd be rackin' this game's up all too quickly, slow as I go). So, no Steam-integration drawbacks? *goes to d/l*

DJ Cryotek · 10-19-2010, 10:27 PM

@GenL:

As the others requested, could you please provide a zip instead? I really want to try this, but I'm very uncomfortable with .exe files.

And i'm very uncomfortable with distributing a modified copy of copyrighted game content... Sorry. Maybe someone else can help you with zip, but not me.

GenL,
Nice work.
Now it perceived much more better with 60 fps.
I even began to play it again after I left the game soon after purchase because of low fps.
You saved this game for me, thanks. (:

DJ Cryotek · 10-20-2010, 09:46 PM

@GenL
Ah, nm, reread your post. I thought that was what was in the .exe, but it mods it.

Though, speaking of mods, many of them involve redistributing a game's files (for use with the same game) so I doubt there's anything to worry about. Especially if the company goes under x_x

But I'll try the .exe this weekend

Oh, and thank you!

WOW, what difference 30 fps can make to the human eye, before the game appeared choppy and seemed to be bringing a good gfx card to it's knees, i never suspected a locked framerate (how ♥♥♥♥ty) and now the motion is fluid. thanks very much for this, from me and my eleven year old niece who can also see a vast improvement! i doubt we are going to get any support from the dev at this point so additional thanks...
i just figured out how to give rep points so my first one goes to you!

TJF588 · 10-21-2010, 07:13 PM

Oh geez. Applied the patch, and while the blur was gone, the game still ran slow. Then I turned shadows off (thought I already had *glances at Steam Cloud*), and, wow, now it runs almost too fast. May have to kerjigger with locking it at 60 FPS, heheh.
