Is there a way to change the fps limit of a game?
For example, the maximum fps of a game is limited to 30 fps, can I change it to 60 fps?

Good question.

I suppose it depends on what's limiting the fps to 30. If it's the target process, then you can probably change it. I've never tried, so I'm not totally certain.

I remember Psych made one ages ago so its definitely possible.

I haven't personally tried to do one so no idea how you would go about it. Perhaps Google could help

FPS limiters tend to be in the games application message loop. Look for GetMessage / TranslateMessage / DispatchMessage and look around there.

@++METHOS, thanks for the info, but I am not sure where it is, I couldn't find it in the target process, or maybe I was looking for the wrong thing.

@STN,thanks for the info, but I haven't found anything on Google yet. Sad

@atm0s, thanks for the info. I can only open the game in assembly code. Can you tell me how to find "GetMessage / TranslateMessage / DispatchMessage" in assembly code? Furthermore, if I found "GetMessage / TranslateMessage / DispatchMessage", what should I look for next? Maybe a integer value, like 30 in hex?

I would use x64dbg (or other) for something like this.

For things like this, yes.

Check out a tool like IDA (disassembler) which will let you do a static analysis of the target instead of debugging it live.
