High frame rate

Change FPS limit in the config file[6]

  2. Change the FRAME_RATE_LIMIT line to "FRAME_RATE_LIMIT": 4, for no FPS limit, 3 for 144 FPS or 2 for 90 FPS.
Applying any of the in-game limiter options will reset the values.
Use the Detroit Become Human FPS limit patcher[7]
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[8]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\DetroitBecomeHuman.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
  2. Search for 41 C7 83 40 01 00 00 31 00 00 as hex.
  3. Replace it with 7F C7 83 40 01 00 00 31 00 00

The Steam version executable needs to be unpacked with Steamless before modification.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1222140/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1222140) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    Tested for DRM after the June 19, 2020 update by closing the EGS launcher, renaming its app folder and the entirety of the config folders containing Denuvo tokens. Checked for Windows Credentials and found none. The game ran without issues from the .exe apart from the lack of EOS connectivity for the choices stats.
