Fix for Force Grip bug with 60+ FPS (force grip always pulls up)

Comments

How to...

Download the patch from:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Agx5qh1dDfESK_LgI0kL_oTgS6WI4wY-

and then uncompress its contents into the game directory with 'SWTFU2.exe' (usually "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2").

Then start the SWTFU60fps.bat script from the patch to automatically patch the game exe.

Enjoy the game in glorious 60 fps!

⚠️ One last thing: the original game (30fps) has a bug (?) when you grab objects with the force and they will lift slowly up... Using the 60fps patch this behaviour will be accelerated and objects will lift up even faster, but that's an original game problem.
GOOD NEWS: read the Force Grip section please!

P.S.

Recommended NVidia Settings (use NVidia Profile Inspector):
Frame rate limiter V3 = 60 (or menus will run without cap, wasting GPU power)
Maximum pre-rendered frames = Use the 3D application settings
Prefered refreshrate = Use the 3D application settings
Vertical sync = Force on

Antialiasing - FXAA Enabled = On

Special thanks

2GB+ patch

Disable any Compatibility Mode you may have set (Win7 compatibility, run as admin, etc.).
After the patch, to improve stability and potentially fix random crashes, with an hex editor like HxD modify at the offset/address:
0000012E: 02 -> 22

If you're too noob to manually modify the SWTFU2.exe, you can try with tool 4GB Patch: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

(This won't fix all loading/fmv crashes but should reduce them drastically)

This worked perfectly for me on Windows 10 y'all just need to learn to read.

But I will say that for the layman (I was also unfamiliar with HxD but it's easy to figure out) after you download HxD, control F this line, it's near the top: 00000120

Then go to the column that says 0E at the top. The value should be 02.

Just click before the 0 and type 22, then save.

I also did the variable time steps thing just for shits and giggles. Not sure if it did anything.

FOR ADVANCED USERS

60FPS GENERIC FIX

1. Open SWTFU2.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
2. Search for the hexadecimal value C78660 0100001E (around ~177A8).
3. For 60 FPS, change it to C78660 0100003C. For 40 FPS, change it to C78660 01000028.
4. Save your changes.

CONFIG PATH:
%LocalAppData%\LucasArts\Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2

SAVE GAME PATH:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\LucasArts\Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2\Saves\

Remember to patch the game for >2GB RAM!

RECOMMENDED NVIDIA SETTINGS (using NVidia Profile Inspector):
Maximum pre-rendered frames = Use the 3D application settings
Prefered refreshrate = Use the 3D application settings
Vertical sync = Force on

Antialiasing - FXAA Enabled = On
Power Management Mode = Adaptive

0x80857A28 = 0x00000001

I love how the physics work in the video, where the stormtrooper's limbs just flail about. But when I tried it, it only worked some of the time. Is there any way to increase that?

Does anyone know how to fix the cutscenes being skipped, I tried renaming every cutscene to a .wmv file but they still skip

DiogoLZ 28 Oct, 2023 @ 12:07pm

No one seems to find this "0000012E: 02 -> 22" adress on HEX Editor. Can you PLEASE, say something about it? Like, are you sure is this adress?

@laserkid97
I do not recommend to go above 60fps or you'll likely encounter physics/timing issues. I was able to complete the game at 60fps (and -VariableTimeSteps) without issues, including all bosses.

laserkid97 27 May, 2023 @ 4:35pm

Does -variableTimesteps make the engine work if you put the fps above 60?

Handler Walter 14 May, 2023 @ 1:19am

Worked great for me its so satisfying seeing this game so smooth at 60 thanks bro
