Nobody tell FromSoftware, but I just unlocked Elden Ring's annoying 60 fps cap on PC. I can finally run around Stormveil Castle at a smooth-ish 90 fps or lock it to whatever number I want, as every PC game should allow. It was a surprisingly easy process, but I'm not sure the downsides are really worth it at the moment.
Unlocking Elden Ring's framerate is possible thanks to this handy mod developed by Github user uberhalit. As they explain, the mod doesn't actually modify any of Elden Ring's game files, but instead «patches the game's memory while running.» You have to start the game from a custom launcher that also comes with a handful of new features, including widescreen support, game speed modification, FOV options, and the ability to not lose runes upon death.
The mod is part extra settings and part cheat tool, and therein lies some risk with using it. Like with all other Elden Ring mods (such as this cool pause mod), you'll need to disable Elden Ring's built-in Easy Anti-Cheat to get it running properly. This is a fast and reversible process if you follow this guide from Windows Central, but doing so will force the game into offline mode. While mods are on, you won't be able to summon co-op players, get invaded, or see messages and bloodstains.
That's one downside to consider. Another is that FromSoftware could issue bans to players if it detects mods or cheats while online—even if you used them while offline. For this reason you should always remove all mods before trying to launch the game in online mode. Nobody seems to know for sure yet if doing this will completely dodge a ban (if I get banned in the next few days, I guess I'll know), but this method apparently worked in older Souls games. That doesn't exactly
