Game Modification: 60 FPS Hacks and Patches

hyperspeed · (This post was last modified: 07-11-2017, 06:52 AM by hyperspeed.)

The new camera code works on pretty much everywhere I tested here, didn't find any location it didn't worked, I changed the value to 5000 to make sure it was working Smile

, but speed of the cam (on default value) is bad it strutters and is more fast than when playing at 30fps.

If set it to:
Cam test ar code Smooth but a little slow (strutter still happens but it's not frequent)
425321E8 0C9E4335
425321E8 0C9C4470

It runs smooth but is a bit slow still comparared to 30fps.

The first value needs to go down, not up. I don't think it'll do anything at 4335. Maybe try 4100-4150 (4170 original 60fps) region. I think the second value is needing to compensate for the first not working, so you had to set it super high. The best places to test the first number are where the camera auto-pans around, rather than following the character.

If the camera stutters to a halt at very low speed, I know where to fix that, but am not seeing it happen.

I found some odd numbers for character vertical position (ground height) in the movement code during 60 fps, but I can't find where to fix them. Not sure if it affects movement.

It does it speed up the cam movement, I tried both 4100 and 4170 and they run very slow when the second value is set to 4470, and I just saw that even when the cam is very slow it strutters randomly however it quite rare and random.

You weren't entirely clear with what you said. Also, could you describe the stutter a bit? I'm seeing running towards the camera can be rather jumpy.

I've narrowed down the movement issues to setting the original 3f80 value that halves movement speed. It's possible I can set that back to 4000 for the movement code and change the movement speed in a different area of code to avoid the issue.

I will upload a video showing what I mean when I type "strutter" so you can undestand and see... better.

Edit: here the video (watch at 60FPS), the first strutter happens between 0:04 and 0:06 note how the cam shake for a moment here

the second one happens in 0:24, play on 0:20 to see it better. Ignore all those frame skipping/choppy cam/constant shake, those weren't present in the gameplay it is a bug from the record app shadowplay.

Thanks for that! It's like a micro shaking, right? I can see how that'd be annoying. I'll have to watch my game more closely and re-read your other posts on it. Does it happen with no camera mod?

/edit
Alright, alright. Got some new things I need help testing. Let's cross our fingers here:

A bit tricky to test, using both AR and gecko code so I don't have to roll it into the main code right away, but it calculates move speed in a different spot, so it might avoid some issues. It actually naturally fixes the run stutter that existed before I started working on the game. Do NOT use the 60fps gecko code with this test.

Run Test: (Show Spoiler)

Run Fix 1 halves a few extra numbers. One of them should be more correct than the other, but the trouble will be spotting the difference. Hopefully one of them has less janky running.

For the camera, I converted the code to gecko, which works slightly different, and a few minor tweaks to test. Hopefully one of them won't shake. It works with the 60fps gecko code, but you can use it with the run tests as well, probably.

Camera: (Show Spoiler)

Camera test 1 and 2 can be combined for a third test, or not used at all. Test 1 should affect how long it takes the camera to slow down. Test 2 generally slows the camera a bit.

/edit 2, I rolled the movement change into the 60fps code and it seems to work. It feels a little slower than the old 60fps movement, but I think the old movement was too fast. I counted distance over 60 frames and you cover the correct distance compared to 30 fps (30 frames).

Yes, the shake cam issue happens without the cam code too.

About the run test codes, Run fix test 1, I think it has some minor janky like you said, or it is only my imagination? If it's my imagination then it is perfect too just like test 2.

Run fix test 2 looks perfect to me didn't saw that issue that I see on test 1.

Cam test1 has the shake cam and is not smooth.

Cam test2 appears to not have the shake cam, but I can't confirm because the cam runs very bad (not smooth). I tried this cam test 2 combined with the first cam 1 test that I like and it still has the shake cam issue.

Camera test 1 with 2 mess up the camera.

The best cam code that you did is the first one yet, only issue is the random shake cam (random strutter).

Great, at least movement is sorted out now!

You didn't like the always on camera gecko code with no tests? You did camera 2 test with the always on code? No AR camera codes or other camera code on besides "always on" ? Bit surprising compared to my experience. I'll look at the one you posted. Also, be doubly sure you are testing from a clean 30 fps savestate (if not loading regularly).

I'm not noticing camera issues in my game. I'm pretty happy with where mine is at and I tried on a more recent build plus on one near 5.0. I screwed up one of the codes I was making and noticed some shake though... hmm. This isn't meant to be a working camera code, but it may show me where the shake is happening in the code. See if the shake happens with AR code: 04039DCC 4800002C + your favorite camera mod that shakes.

Sorry I should have said this, all this test was done on 5.0 and with "Gecko Camera Always on" checked, maybe this is a issue from this build, which builds you are using now, or better share the build you are using maybe there is some setting causing it?

I though the "Gecko Camera Always on" was needed for the cam test codes, so I tested all the cam test code with it checked, I also tested the "Gecko Camera Always on" with my favorite cam test 1 you did but I didn't notice any new behavior.

Will test with "Gecko Camera Always on" checked without any cam code and see...

btw: I never used save state to test those codes, I prefer to restart the game to test.

Edit1: Tried the new code with the cam test that I like but the shake is still there, I tried combine it with the "camera always on" code but no changes, it will still run smooth even with the cam always on checked when I am using that cam test 1 that I like.

Now using only the camera always on code, my experience is pretty much the same when I was testing the new cam codes, it doesn't runs smooth so I can't say if it has or not the shake.

Edit2: Found something, on the lastest build 5.0-4705 instead of the shake cam it gives that mini-freeze that I said before (this was using my fav cam test with your new ar code to atempt to fix the shake cam), tried without your new ar code and the shake happens and the mini freeze too, so your shake fix works but somehow it seems to not work on 5.0 then, btw: mini freezes only happens on recent builds, 5.0 doesn't has any mini freezes.

Others cam code do run a bit smooth than 5.0 on 5.0-4705 however my fav cam test still runs better than all those.

Edit3: To confirm that the shake is fixed by the new ar code with my fav cam test I tried again, but now it shakes Sad

restarted the game, tried use the cheat manager to apply it but it doesn't seems to work anymore, something similar happened when I was testing the "World Map Cam" ar code, it worked one time and then didn't worked ever again.

I was playing on 615, the last build that Gecko works correctly on. Also, 3819 because I have a lot of savestates on that build. VSync, OpenGL, load custom textures OFF, Enable dual core on, speed up disc transfer set to the square (automatic?). My only micro freezes are with load custom textures.

The camera mod you like is slow enough that the character can run off the screen, for me.

Does the world map ever have camera problems?
When you hit Tab (hotkey for disable speed limit) does it go above 60fps?
