What is SilentPatch?
Remake of Yakuza 2, ported from PS4 to PC in May 2019 enhanced gameplay experience by lifting a 30 FPS lock, allowing PC users to better leverage their hardware. This was generally fine, but also introduced some issues to the game. While the ones like exaggerated physics are not trivially fixable, issues with some minigames have been fixed in an official patch by limiting them to 60 FPS. That said, this not only is mostly redundant, but also not always correct -- most notably, Toylets minigame is still essentially unplayable. To make matters worse, the way frame limiting was performed was notoriously flawed and introduced noticeable frame pacing issues.

Featured fixes
  • Frame pacing has been drastically improved when "Framelimit" option is not set to "Unlimited"
  • Toylets minigame has been capped to 30 FPS, essentially making it playable without having to change game settings
  • Arcade games are now forcibly capped to 60 FPS, even if "Framelimit" option is set to 30 FPS in options
  • The following minigames have been capped by the official patch for no reason and have been uncapped again now:
    • Karaoke
    • Mahjong
    • Oicho Kabu
    • Cee-lo
    • Colliseum (menu only)
    • Batting
    • Darts
    • Blackjack
    • Poker
    • Koi-koi

I have published a write-up regarding FPS issues - for those interested, check it here:

Download and Installation
  • Download the patch archive from HERE[github.com]
  • After downloading, unpack the archive to your game directory. If you don't know where your game is installed, you can navigate there from Steam by right clicking on Yakuza Kiwami 2 entry -> Manage -> Browse local files

It's easy as that really! If you followed the instructions correctly, Toylets minigame will be locked at 30 FPS and frame pacing should be far improved if you are using the "Framelimit" option in game.

Omg thank you. The game is finally working as it should have.
I was getting constant jumps from 120fps to 50fps, it was annoying as F!.

Has the UFO Catcher been tested at 60fps? It doesn't go low enough to grab the small items anymore. Before the patch it ran at around 30fps and didn't have this issue.

When using Unlimited you won't see any difference. If it works fine for you as-is you can leave it on Unlimited just fine.

sorry im a tad confused i may of missed or read it wrong, but does it matter if i set my game to unlimited fps or should i limit it? "Frame pacing has been drastically improved when "Framelimit" option is not set to "Unlimited"" this is the part i was confused on. currently have mine on unlimited and have not noticed any issues

Hey Silent im not 100% certain but i tried a few times: I think Karaoke bugged out at least on Karumocho when Haruka is with you if not caped at 60fps. Her conversation doesnt start. Solved limiting framerate to 60fps. Karaoke worked fine with Majima, hostess, etc...
