    KH 1.5 + 2.5 PC "Stuttering" fix + Cutscene Framerate fix

    Posted:

    I have addressed this issue in other posts, however, for SEO purposes, I thought it would make sense to create a post for this to help as many people as possible.

    For those of you who are playing KH 1.5 + 2.5 games on PC at framerates above 60 fps, you might have noticed some inconsistent stutters. For me, as soon as I booted the game, I noticed my framerate would sometimes tank from nearly 1000 fps to 60 in KH2. It turns out, there is some odd behavior that limits the framerate. This is not a bug, from looking at this disassembly of this in KH2, this is very clearly intentional behavior. That being said, I am not sure why the developers thought they could rip nearly 90% of my framerate from me, and I wouldn't notice. Because of this, I decided I couldn't progress any further without fixing it. ts;dr I fixed it (currently only in KH2.)

    I haven't gone through the effort of fully tracking the behavior, so I can't accurately describe the intent or why this happens at the moment. If this behavior gets patched before I figure it out, I'd love to see an explanation from the SQ programmers.

    Additionally, with help from u/TopazTK, we also fixed the behavior during cutscenes which would limit your framerate to 30 fps. Do note that this causes the 30 fps option to limit your framerate to 60: the 30 fps option seems to be an afterthought and is implemented through what seems to be a hack. This implies that the PC release (at least of KH2) is intended to be played at the base framerate of 60 fps.

    tl;dr

    The Patch (KH2): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565971398539870273/827066425448726548/KINGDOM_HEARTS_II_FINAL_MIX.bps

    what the KH2 patch does, for nerds:

    Fix FPS Limiter

    at KH2 + 0x119CCF

    MOV [RBX + 0x5998], 0x2000 

    becomes

    NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP 

    Nops the code that updates the variable on the render settings structure that is responsible for limiting the framerate to 60.

    Stop Cutscene Framelimiter (Thanks to u/TopazTK for finding this)

    at KH2 + 0x152160

    MOV [KH2 + 0xAB83C8], EBX 

    becomes

    NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP NOP 

    Nops the code that toggles the 30 fps limit. This also breaks 30 fps mode.

    Allow Cutscene Framelimit to be Unlocked

    at KH2 + 0x3AA186, KH2 + 0x3AA22D, KH2 + 0x3AA5AA, and KH2 + 0x3AAA3C

    MOV ECX, 1 CALL [KH2 + 0x152140] 

    becomes

    XOR ECX, ECX NOP NOP NOP CALL [KH2 + 0x152140] 

    Zeroes the first argument in the call that updates the framelimiter variables

    Fixing this kinda stuff makes me want to get into game porting/remastering. I'm sure the source-level issues are super interesting.

    Common Questions

    1. How do I apply this/these patches?Since these are BPS patches, you can use any BPS patching tool. A quick-and-easy online tool is RomPatcherJS.
    2. I see that the download link for this mod, is there a Discord server for this?No. I have been posting my progress updates in the OpenKH server, however, this server is not particularly a modding haven, and it is focused on Xeeynamo's super awesome OpenKH project.
    3. Will you release similar patches for the other games?I intentionally wrote this post to be generally game-ambiguous so that it would be easy to edit whenever I do release patches for the other games. As it is now, I have not had the chance to even boot them, I have been too busy reverse engineering. I'm even still in Twilight Town in KH2!
    4. Do I have to patch my executable??TopazTK has been adding these changes to their Lua Engine, whenever that gets publicly released, you should be able to just toggle them on with that.

    Any combat tips are greatly appreciated because i'm a moron clearly.

    Kingdom Hearts Pc Crashes on Game Saving

    Posted:

    I just bought the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Collection on Epic.

    But every time i try saving the game in Kingdom Hearts 1 (on either the tutorial save-point or the Destiny Island Save-Point) my Game crashes and shuts down whilst saving my game.

    It takes some seconds, the sound shuts off and the game closes itself.

    After i reload the game, i cant access any save data on Load game because of "corrupted save data". I also cant save the game cause of the same error message.

    When i delete the save-folder created in Documents, i can access the loading option normally but still get the same error after i try saving the game at any point in the story.

    I have disabled my Antivirus and firewall already, as well as reinstalled the game from Epic.

    Does someone have an idea why this problem occurs?

    "Verum Rex" is going to be a Virtual Reality game. [Spoilers for 3 and MoM]

    Posted:

    I just had this thought while someone was talking about Kingdom Hearts. Consider how Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance can be abbreviated as Kingdom Hearts 3D, as in the 3Ds, and the stereoscopic 3d of the system.

    Now, Verum Rex. If the game is called "Kingdom Hearts: Verum Rex," It can be reduced to "KHVR."

    Now, that's not everything, right, but when we fight Yozora, everything looks all digital right? and Quadratum is in a world of "unreality" or fiction. - aka "Virtual" reality.

    I think that whatever game takes place in Quadratum may be a Virtual Reality title.

    what do you think?

    Kingdom Hearts fans rejoice! Melody of Memory had some GREAT assets I was able to extract and they will be GREAT for overlays, thumbnails, etc. There are things I pulled but don't really know what to do with. If anyone knows what to do with em, go ahead!

    KH3 PC Problems

    Posted:

    So excitedly, i bought kingdom hearts 3 yesterday for PC. I'd been waiting for this for a rather long time, you see.

    Unfortunately, there are 2 issues that are reoccuring.

    The first being that i get horrendous stuttering when in menu screens, but the rest of the gameplay is perfectly fine.

    The second are the crashes, which come up as Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost.

    Most fix signs point to re-installation of video card drivers- unfortunately, i'd just updated my Nvidia drivers today. I can only surmise that something such as FXAA or the like that's handled globally by Nvidia could be tbe culprit, but as of yet I am unsure. Turning on and off FXAA within the game settings has produced no viable results.

    I have also tried using administrator mode, but epic games fails to launch when the main executable is designated as such. Compatability mode fails to see any answers as well, being a hail mary to the whole situation.

    If anyone has any ideas or more information on the situation, such as a fix or an upcoming patch, please let me know. Thank you.

    I've waited quite some time since the release of kingdom hearts II now to finish this series, it would be a shame to lose it now when it's so close to my grasp.
