A small utility to remove frame rate limit 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.
- 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
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.
AMD: Use Radeon Settings to set 'Wait for Vertical Refresh' to 'Enhanced Sync' on a Elden Ring profile. Start Elden Ring in windowed mode and switch to fullscreen once ingame. Troubleshoot: see the guide further down below.
60 Hz monitors: disable VSYNC via driver (use 'Enhanced Sync' on AMD) and use fullscreen, see guide below
high refresh rate monitors: use borderless or force monitor to always use highest available refresh rate and then use fullscreen, see guide below

- 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 so you'll have to handle this with driver override too, see Usage
- if your monitor does not support Hz override (Preferred Refreshrate missing and Profile Inspector won't work either) you won't be able to play at a higher refresh rate in fullscreen, play in windowed mode as an alternative
- v0.0.0.1-beta (2022-02-25)
- Initial release
