A small utility to remove frame rate limit, change FOV and more for Elden Ring



EXPERIMENTAL! NOT YET TESTED MUCH

Please make sure your game is set to offline and you start the game without EAC through the utility.

Elden Ring FPS Unlocker and more

A small utility to remove frame rate limit, change FOV (Field of View), alter Game Speed and various game modifications for Elden Ring written in C#. More features soon! Patches games memory while running, does not modify any game files. Works with every game version (legit steam & oh-not-so-legit), should work with all future updates.

Features

  • does not modify any game files, RAM patches only
  • works with legit, unmodified steam version as well as with unpacked, not-so-legit versions
  • unlock frame rate (remove FPS limit) by setting a new custom limit (currently limited to (borderless) window mode)
  • increase or decrease field of view (FOV)
  • game modifications
    • global game speed modifier (increase or decrease)
    • disable losing Runes on death

Usage

The graphic setup has to be done only once but as the patcher hot-patches the memory you have to start the patcher every time you want to use any of its features.

The game enforces VSYNC and forces 60 Hz in fullscreen even on 144 Hz monitors so we have to override these.

Nvidia: Use Nvidia Control Panel to set 'Vsync' to 'Off' and 'Preferred Refreshrate' to 'Highest available' on a Elden Ring Profile, then use borderless windows mode.

AMD: Use Radeon Settings to set 'Wait for Vertical Refresh' to 'Enhanced Sync' on a Elden Ring profile, then use borderless windows mode.

Follow these steps on Nvidia:

  1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
  2. Navigate to Display -> Change resolution
  3. Make sure your monitor is set to the highest Refresh rate possible:
  4. Make sure your monitor is set to the highest Refresh rate possible
  5. Navigate to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> Elden Ring
  6. Set Preferred refresh rate to Highest available
  7. Set Vertical sync to Off
  8. Hit apply and close Nvidia Control Panel
  9. Start Elden Ring FPS Unlocker and more and start the game through the first button
  10. Use borderless window mode for now
  11. Set your new refresh rate limit, tick the checkbox and click Patch game

Follow these steps on AMD:

  1. Right click on Desktop -> Display settings
  2. Scroll down and click Advanced Display Settings -> Display Adapter Properties
  3. Switch to Monitor tab and make sure your monitor is set to the highest Refresh rate possible:
  4. Open Radeon Settings
  5. Navigate to Gaming -> Elden Ring or add it manually if it's missing: Add -> Browse -> Elden Ring
  6. Set Wait for Vertical Refresh to Enhanced Sync:
  7. Apply and close Radeon Settings
  8. Start Elden Ring FPS Unlocker and more and start the game through the first button
  9. Use borderless window mode for now
  10. Set your new refresh rate limit, tick the checkbox and click Patch game

To play the game with GSYNC do these additional steps (Nvidia):

  1. Under Nvidia Control Panel navigate to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> Elden Ring
  2. Set Monitor Technology to G-SYNC
  3. You can keep Vertical sync on Use the 3D application setting now to help remove frame time stutters (see here)
  4. Make sure that Preferred refresh rate is still set to Highest available
  5. Don't forget to Apply and close Nvidia Control Panel
  6. Use a 3rd party frame rate limiter like RTSS and set a frame rate limit just a few fps below your monitor refresh rate, on a 144Hz Monitor use 138
  7. Start Elden Ring FPS Unlocker and more and set FPS lock to your monitors refresh rate
  8. Start the game and set it to borderless window

To add a custom resolution:

soon!

To use the FOV changer:

  1. Set a new FOV value
  2. Tick the checkbox and confirm with Patch game

On 'Disable Runes loss on death':

Like 'Unseen Aid' in Sekiro you will not lose any Runes upon death with this option enabled.

On 'Game speed':

Slow down the game to beat a boss like a game journalist or speed it up and become gud. Game speed acts as a global time scale and is used by the game itself to create a dramatic effect in a few cutscenes. All game physics (even opening the menu) will be affected equally: all time-critical windows like dodge and deflect will be proportionally prolonged or shortened while the amount of damage given and taken as well as all other damage physics will be unaltered. A hit from an enemy on 150% game speed will do the exact same damage as on 80%, the deflect window on 50% is exactly twice as long as on 100% and so on. Of course, your character will be affected by the speed too so even though a time window might be different now, the speed which you can react on it is different too. Be aware that the speed modifier can potentially crash the game in certain cutscenes and NPC interactions so use it with caution.

Troubleshooting:

  • Make sure you followed the appropriate steps and didn't skip any
  • Try disabling Fullscreen optimization for Elden Ring: right mouse click on eldenring.exe -> Compatibility-> tick 'Disable fullscreen optimizations'
  • If you are using ReShade make sure your preset doesn't enforce 60 Hz, try removing ReShade and see if it solves the problem
  • Try adding the whole game folder and Elden Ring FPS Unlocker and more to your antivirus's exclusion list
  • Try disabling Steam Broadcast (streaming via overlay)
  • Try to force disable VSYNC even when you are using GSYNC
  • Close and disable all screen recording and streaming applications
  • Close and disable all overlays
  • Close and disable all performance "booster" programs and alike
  • Do a clean reinstall of your graphic driver:
    1. Download latest graphics driver for your GPU
    2. Download DDU
    3. Disconnect internet so windows update won't auto-install minimal driver as soon as you uninstall them
    4. Boot into safe mode
    5. Completely uninstall graphics driver and all of their utilities using DDU
    6. Reboot
    7. Install the latest driver you previously downloaded
    8. Reconnect internet

Limitations

  • the game has forced VSYNC so unlocking the frame rate when your monitor has 60Hz will do nothing. You'll have to disable VSYNC in Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings first, see Usage
  • in fullscreen the game forces the monitor to 60 Hz and there is currently no known way to bypass this, user borderless window mode
  • game speed modification can potentially crash the game in certain cutscenes and NPC interactions, use with caution
