This project builds a DLL that automatically unlocks the framerate in Sekiro, without the need for any manual action when launching the game in the future. This DLL works with the latest version of the game available on Steam (1.06).
When SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll is loaded into the address space of Sekiro, it
automatically spawns a thread that asynchronously patches the memory of the
game to unlock the framerate. To make this work, you will need to cause the
Sekiro process to load the DLL. The easiest way to do this currently is with
SpecialK.
First, download the latest version of SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll from the
releases section on GitHub.
You can place the SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll file anywhere you like on your
computer.
To use this DLL in conjunction with SpecialK, add a section like this to the SpecialK configuration file for Sekiro:
[Import.SekiroFpsUnlockDll]
Architecture=x64
Role=ThirdParty
When=Late
Filename=C:\Users\Cathy\Documents\My Mods\Sekiro\SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dllWith this section present in the configuration file, SpecialK will load
SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll when the game starts. This will cause the framerate
to be automatically unlocked.
Make sure you change the Filename entry in the Import.SekiroFpsUnlockDll
section of the SpecialK configuration file to specify the actual path to
SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll on your computer.
After SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll is loaded into Sekiro for the first time, a
configuration file named SekiroFpsUnlockAndMore.xml will be created in the
same directory as the DLL. This is the same configuration file format used by
the uberhalit/SekiroFpsUnlockAndMore project. You can view the default
configuration here.
By default, the framerate is set to 144, but you can easily change this by substituting a different number in this part of the configuration file:
<tbFramelock>144</tbFramelock>There are various other options in the configuration file, corresponding to
other features of uberhalit/SekiroFpsUnlockAndMore. By default, nothing is
changed about the game other than the framerate.
If you want to build SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll from source, clone this
repository with the --recurse argument:
git clone --recurse https://github.com/cathyjf/SekiroFpsUnlockDll
Open the SekiroFpsUnlockDll.sln file in Visual Studio 2022
to build the project. Once the build process is complete, you will find the
binary at x64\Release\SekiroFpsUnlockDll.dll. You should build in Release
mode. The Debug build configuration has not been tested.
If you just want to check out how the program works, most of the code related
to the implementation of the DLL is found in src\dllmain.cpp.
