By hexaae

60fps+ fix for Grow Home. Much smoother at 120Hz or more!

Smooth fix

This guide will teach you how to fix refresh rate of this game to unlock framerate (tested with 240fps/Hz screen).
Finally free from the dreadful, jittery refresh that looked like 30fps, despite the FPS counter showing 60+.

HOW TO

Open with a hex-editor (e.g. free HxD or online https://hexed.it ): mainData, then edit as follows:
find hexadecimal sequence: 0A D7 A3 3C located at address 0F B2 F0.
replace it with: F1 82 88 3B

Done.
Enjoy the game running smoothly, finally!

Tested up to 240Hz (240fps). I myself play it capped at 120fps through NVidia Profile Inspector on my 240Hz capable g-sync screen.

History

1.0 first release limited to 60Hz/fps
2.0 unlocked up to 240Hz for a much smoother experience. Recommended capping with NVidia CP or NVidia Profile Inspector to 120fps (more than enough!) to save power and stress to your GPU ;)

I'll try it. Grow home worked

Send me a message... let's see if Grow Up is also fixable (I don't have the game).

Redone! Please try this new version which should unlock up to 240Hz/fps and fix physics for water and some env sounds.

Yes, for 75Hz users there's no decent solution, apart from creating a custom 60Hz res with NVidia CP or Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) + this patch. Usually 75Hz monitor CAN also manage 60Hz, it's just that a 60Hz is missing in the default internal DB. Or a 120Hz res if it can't reach 60Hz.

Thanks for reply. And yes, I know it is not a framerate limit, I've just worded it wrong.
Well, that's an interesting finding. I wonder if similar issue would arise from changing it to something that isn't a multiple of 30, like 75, which is still a quite popular refresh rate among budget monitors.

@Patrxgt
It's not a frame rate LIMIT, but the camera update frametime. 60 is good for any multiple too (120, 240)...
But the other day I noticed that at 240fps it stutters a lot when using the flower parachute, and this doesn't happen capping the game at 60fps with this patch. Mmmh, have to investigate, maybe there's some Physics update limitation too I have to remove... Stay tuned.

Any way to increase the limit even further?

Can you make this fix for Grow up as well ?
