60 FPS and 120+ FPS		Camera movement during town exploration uses Unity's default fixed timestep of 50 Hz, which results in judder when the display's refresh rate is not a multiple of 50 (50 Hz, 100 Hz, etc). See High frame rate. Dungeons and cutscenes are unaffected; all parts of the game will update at the display's refresh rate.

The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.

High frame rate

Fix 50 FPS camera stutter in towns by patching data.unity3d file^[2]

Download the BPS patch.
Open RomPatcher.js in a new web browser tab, or use a dedicated IPS patching utility (Such as Floating IPS).
Go to <path-to-game>\ShirenTheWanderer6_Data\ and use the data.unity3d file as the source ROM file, and the downloaded BPS patch as the patch file.
After the patched file has been saved, rename the file to data.unity3d and move it to <path-to-game>\ShirenTheWanderer6_Data\, making sure to replace the original.

This modification raises the FixedUpdate rate in Unity from a 50 FPS rate (the default used for FixedUpdate) to 1000 FPS, as that evenly divides by most framerate targets realistically being targeted by users.
