I don't know what it is, but if I limit my fps to anything below unlocked the camera stuttering becomes permanent. It might take longer than expected to fix this for KH1.Įdit 3: Added u/TopazTK's cutscene fixes for KH, COM, and BBS. Thanks to the others who are helping people.Įdit 2: This same method for this fix works for KH1, but it seems to be very prone to crashing! I'm guessing this is similar in KH2, and I just haven't experienced it. I edited the common questions to be more clear for how you can patch the game. Do I have to patch my executable? TopazTK has been adding these changes to their Lua Engine, whenever that gets publicly released, you should be able to just toggle them on with that.Įdit: there's a lot of replies here, it would take too long to respond to all of you (sorry!).As it is now, I have not had the chance to even boot them, I have been too busy reverse engineering. Will you release similar patches for the other games? I intentionally wrote this post to be generally game-ambiguous so that it would be easy to edit whenever I do release patches for the other games.I have been posting my progress updates in the OpenKH server, however, this server is not particularly a modding haven, and it is focused on Xeeynamo's super awesome OpenKH project. I see that the download link for this mod, is there a Discord server for this?No.The file you need to patch is the executable file for the game )not the launcher), for example, 'KINGDOM HEARTS 2 FINAL MIX.exe'. A quick-and-easy online tool is RomPatcherJS. How do I apply this/these patches? Since these are BPS patches, you can use any BPS patching tool.

I'm sure the source-level issues are super interesting.

Use whichever works best for you.ĭon't forget that u/TopazTK assisted with this! COM The difference is that version 4 should be safer, and version 3 is more brute-forced. If version 4 seems to have oddities during cutscenes, use version 3. Thanks to Explode for forward porting the patch to this version of the game. This implies that the PC release (at least of KH2) is intended to be played at the base framerate of 60 fps. Do note that this causes the 30 fps option to limit your framerate to 60: the 30 fps option seems to be an afterthought and is implemented through what seems to be a hack. If this behavior gets patched before I figure it out, I'd love to see an explanation from the SQ programmers.Īdditionally, with help from u/TopazTK, we also fixed the behavior during cutscenes which would limit your framerate to 30 fps. I haven't gone through the effort of fully tracking the behavior, so I can't accurately describe the intent or why this happens at the moment. ts dr I fixed it (currently only in KH2.) Because of this, I decided I couldn't progress any further without fixing it. That being said, I am not sure why the developers thought they could rip nearly 90% of my framerate from me, and I wouldn't notice. This is not a bug, from looking at this disassembly of this in KH2, this is very clearly intentional behavior. It turns out, there is some odd behavior that limits the framerate. For me, as soon as I booted the game, I noticed my framerate would sometimes tank from nearly 1000 fps to 60 in KH2. I have addressed this issue in other posts, however, for SEO purposes, I thought it would make sense to create a post for this to help as many people as possible.įor those of you who are playing KH 1.5 + 2.5 games on PC at framerates above 60 fps, you might have noticed some inconsistent stutters. u/TopazTK has done a great job at merging many of the mods QoL mods into a single supermod, which I urge you to check out: Update: Some of the content in this post could be considered deprecated.
