Attention !
By doing this, you’ll be changing a row in the game’s database. We don’t think Kuro Games will penalize players who want to set their game to 120fps, but technically it’s still a violation of the game’s terms of service, so don’t do it if you’re hesitant!
To do this, you must first download the “DB Browser for SQLite” application. by following this link. This actually allows you to go into the game files to change a line in the database. Download the “.zip no installer 64-bit” version and extract it.
Then click on “SQLite.exe”, then go to “File” in the app and click “Open Database”. Then navigate to the game installation folder, then “Client”, then “Saved”, then “LocalStorage” and open the “LocalStorage.db” file.
Once opened, click on “Browse Data” and select the “LocalStorage” table. Next, find the “GameQualitySetting” key and select it by clicking on the second column on the right with {“KeyQualityLevel”}. In the top right, you will notice purple lines. The first one will usually look like this:
- {“KeyQualityLevel”:3,”KeyCustomFrameRate”:60,
Change “60” to “120” and then click “Apply” at the bottom. There you go, your game is now running at 120 fps.
