Well, you gotta love modders. As we’ve already said, NieR: Automata is locked at 60fps. Now while this is perfectly fine by us (after all, it’s not locked at 30fps), we know that some PC gamers were a bit disappointed by such a thing. Well good news if you are one of them because modder ‘lolisamurai‘ has released a mod that removes the 60fps lock.
According to the modder, this fix does not speed up physics and works fine on Windows 7 (he did not test the mod on other operating systems, so there might be some bugs).
Here is how you can install this new mod (it requires Kaldaien’s FAR mod).
- Install FAR: http://steamcommunity.com/app/524220/discussions/0/135512104777399045
- Download the dll from https://github.com/Francesco149/nier_uncapped/releases
- Put nier_uncapped.dll in your Nier Automata folder (right clickthe game on steam, properties, local files, browse local files).
Add the following at the top of your dxgi.ini in your Nier automata folder:
[Import.nier_uncapped]
Architecture=x64
Filename=nier_uncapped.dll
Role=ThirdParty
When=PlugIn
- Run the game, disable vsync in the options and hope for the best.
Have fun everyone!

Should we pay 60$ for this games? Or should we pirate it and pay the modders cause they deserve it? Mmmm
Can’t pirate it mate.
Pay for it. The developers spend years making this game on a very tight budget and yet it turned out to be fantastic. Shouldn’t disregard that fact because of some issues.
Paying 60 € for AAA game is really dumb in 2017. DLCs aside, you can get games from so many places, and sales happen all the time.
I have over 900 Steam games and yet I pay full price if I think that the game is worth it. This is all very subjective, everyone values video games differently.
Sales happen all the time, it’s likely game was discounted before it came out on sites like Green Man’s Gaming.
It’s a masterful game, while the port might be hit or miss, the game is certainly master class.
F*ck Square Turds, I agree, but at the end of the day, it’s still a worthy PlatinumGames title, so….. yeah.
If you want a future where you have to buy a console to play this type of game and you have to take it as is then pirate it or attempt to. If you want more games like this on PC with the ability to mod it then buy it. I spent about 50 hours with the game and it was worth every penny. I also donated 30 USD to FAR project, which made my experience even better.
I know its an amazing game no doubt but they disrespected us they did not put any effort in pc port.
Btw its gonna be in the top 10 worst pc port 2017
I’ll wait for price to drop a little then I’ll buy it
” but they disrespected us”
…
What she says is the truest truth nonetheless. If you do like this genre and the game you should support it. If you don’t want to pay $60 wait until it is on sale or don’t buy it at all. There is the pirate option where you could join a Russian botnet depending on where you get it from though. The pirate version does piss in the pool unless you are a broke student that can’t afford it at all we have all been there.
you can get it for 45$
You can’t pirate it, Square Enix uses denuvo for all of its releases
Give it a few days……
I just hope Square Enix will remove Denuvo from Nier Automata after it’s cracked (whenever that happens). Like how Bethesda did with Doom.
To be honest I’ve never understood why Platinum fixes their games to 60. We know from games like Castlevania and the DMC games that you don’t need to tie framerate to animations (as you need to with a fighting game) to make this kind of game work correctly.
Most Japanese developers do this, unfortunately. Capcom’s the only one I know of that consistently supports 144hz monitors (both releases of MGS V were capped at 60, in the case of Konami).
Lol, Kaldaien already implemented this directly into FAR. The man works at light speed.
