High frame rate

The game has no FPS limit at first launch. Accessing the in-game settings will create an options file at the configuration file(s) location, locking it to 60 FPS.
Modify the game executable to unlock FPS[3]
  1. Download HxD or any other hex editor.
  2. Launch it and use it to open <path-to-game>/BeyondTwoSouls.exe
  3. Search and replace 9A 99 05 42 with 00 00 00 00
  4. Search and replace 9A 99 85 41 with 00 00 00 00
  5. Save the file, overwriting the original.
Disables both of the in-game FPS limiter options.
The always-enabled Vsync will be unaffected.
