60hz/60fps fix

Fix movement stuttering at 60FPS by patching the "globalgamemanagers" file.

Download the IPS Patch.
Open RomPatcher.js in a new web browser tab, or use a dedicated IPS patching utility (such as Lunar IPS).
Go to <path-to-game>\TormentedSouls_Data\ and use the globalgamemanagers file as the source ROM file and the downloaded IPS patch as the patch file.
After the patched file has been saved, rename the file to globalgamemanagers and move it to <path-to-game>\TormentedSouls_Data\, making sure to replace the original.

This modification changes the Unity FixedUpdate rate from 100 FPS to 60 FPS.
