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. Note that this does not fix the stuttering, only the cutscenes being limited to 30 fps. 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.
