How to Change FPS from 30 to 60 / 120
By Cryptor!
Here´s the English Version how to change the locked FPS in Killer is Dead.I think nobody wants to play with 30 FPS on PC so let´s Enjoy our Game in more than 30 FPS.

I updated the Guide a few Times and there is also a brazilian-portuguese Translation of it.Please Report Issues and Solutions. Any Help to improve the game would be appreciated!

Enjoy your Game !

How to Change the FPS ( Updated 07.11.2023 )
STEP 1

Go to your "Killer is Dead" folder and find the KidEngine.ini

Folder Path: C:Programs (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > common > Killer is Dead > Kid Game > Config > KidEngine.ini

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

STEP 2

Open up the KidEngine.ini file and find the line "bSmoothFrameRate" and "MaxSmoothedFrameRate"

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

STEP 3

Useful Information

"bSmoothFrameRate" has a similar function ( or is maybe the same ) as Vertical Synchronization[en.wikipedia.org]

I suggest you to change the values like i did. In this case...

"bSmoothFrameRate" from TRUE ( enabled ) to FALSE ( disabled )

"MaxSmoothFrameRate" from 31 ( default ) to 60

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●


STEP 3

Save the file and Start the Game. You can Launch FRAPS or another Program that displays FPS to check if the Game runs in 60FPS.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Tips and Other values that can be used.

FPS Values: 30 / 60 / 120 / 125

> You can aslo change only "MaxSmoothFramerate" without disabling VSYNC.

Possible Fix for Quick time Events [60FPS+] - Source:PCGW

> UPDATE: 18.06.17 <

You can also try these values:

60FPS:

- ;massageで回復するレート
mRevive_MassageRecoveryRate = 2.6
- ;massageによるHealth が下がるレート
mRevive_MassageHealtDownRate = 0.98
-;massageによる一番連打を必要とする力の量
mRevive_MassageDownPowerMax = 10.0

120FPS:

- ;massageで回復するレート
mRevive_MassageRecoveryRate = 5.2
- ;massageによるHealth が下がるレート
mRevive_MassageHealtDownRate = 0.96
-;massageによる一番連打を必要とする力の量
mRevive_MassageDownPowerMax = 20.0

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●


For all users with Impossible QTE´s after changing to 60FPS and a lil bit above. After testing things out for some time i maybe found an "acceptable" solution to fix the QTE´s.This small Fix worked up to 75FPS.

Go to your KID Folder. C:Programs (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > common > Killer is Dead > Kid Game > Config > DefaultGame.ini

At the beginning you will find the Informations that we need to get the Problem fixed. Just change the values and replace the standard ones with my values.

- ;massageで回復するレート
mRevive_MassageRecoveryRate = 2.8
- ;massageによるHealth が下がるレート
mRevive_MassageHealtDownRate = 0.95
-;massageによる一番連打を必要とする力の量
mRevive_MassageDownPowerMax = 18.5

A possible solution if you cant save the edited the kidengine.ini !

THANKS TO: "Tron22PL" !


I stumbled upon issue where my game would outright ignore or even change MaxSmoothedFrameRate=120 and set it back to 30 in KidEngine.ini despite setting it to read only

Solution turned out to be, for whatever reason, first changing it to desired framerate and then adding launch command in game properties on steam: -windowed

Changed resolution while in windowed mode too and it saved flawlessly; deleted the command line afterwards and it's fixed now seemingly for good and works in fullscreen, only vsync option seems bugged and be always on, but that's a rather minor issue

Hope it helps someone in the future

Please write down if you still have Problems or if you have a more solid solution to fix the QTE´s!

Check this out. Same engine. Does Killer Is Dead have a similar setting?

in case for setting FPS when Smooth FrameRate is on FALSE u might can use "Radeon Chill" in the driver to set a FPS limit. Just a suggestion.

It's locked at 23 fps for me too. In my case, it seems that something is forcing the game to do so, because if I modify the line "bSmoothFrameRate" to "FALSE" I get screen tearing which is what happens to me when I don't have vsync on.
But, even if I modify every single line that contains "framerate" the game doesn't care, in fact, I outright deleted lines just to see how the game behaved and not even a single crash, the game is simply locked in into getting locked at LESS than 30 fps.
So my only theory is that something else is forcing the game, but now go try to guess what it is.
Also, you say that AMD may be the thing screwing us, but doesn't steam deck have amd cpu? I have seen Killer is Dead running at 60 fps on steamdeck.
Gotta love technology and computers.

Interesting. I also have an AMD CPU, but also an AMD GPU and it locked at 23 FPS for me
titomonti 1 Dec, 2024 @ 4:59pm 
i have amd cpu and nvidia gpu
Famix 1 Dec, 2024 @ 4:53pm 
Do you also have an AMD system? I'm starting to wonder if that's related
titomonti 1 Dec, 2024 @ 4:43pm 
Help, this doesn't work for me, I've tried the guide, i've tried modifying the two "MaxSmoothFrameRate" lines, i've tried marking the file as read only, everything it has been said and the game is still locked at 30 fps.
What else can I do?

great to hear that! Have Fun!

The game menu became super sped up on 144 fps value. I put it to 60 even though the game becomes much smoother and easier to control
