High frame rate

Use the Detroit Become Human FPS limit patcher
Allows limiting FPS to any value from none to 1000. Disables both of the in-game FPS limiter options' functionality.

Depth of field

Modify the game executable to disable depth of field
Open <path-to-game>\DetroitBecomeHuman.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD). Search for 41 C7 83 40 01 00 00 31 00 00 as hex. Replace it with 7F C7 83 40 01 00 00 31 00 00 Save the changes. Steam version executable needs to be unpacked with Steamless before modification.

Use the related PCGW community patcher to remove depth of field and TAA.
