I tried it on my alt account and it was pretty smooth. But I'm afraid to use it on my main account. So anyone got banned using this?

i've been using this on my main account for about 2 weeks, it's ar 47 and I haven't been banned yet. banning is a possibility but it seems pretty low.

Edit: 08/12/2023 [d/m/y] - Not banned

I've posted this unlocker on cn sites too, many have been using since release, no one reported a ban so far

Used it from time to time (can't do that all the time, since I play using Steam Input) on my main account, don't see any problems. Can't remember anyone ever reporting that it got them banned.

Have been using it on my main for a month without any issues.
I don't see why it'd be banworthy, doesn't give any sort of advantage.

It would be technically possible for it to trigger anti-cheat and flag account. But yeah, I've been using it on my main AR 54 acc for over a month, still no ban.

Exactly what I meant, wouldn't surprise me if accounts are already flagged, but they shouldn't have any reason to ban. I wonder though why miHoYo hasn't removed the cap yet, it's awful...

I also have been using this for quite awhile now, mainly to get lower screen response times in the Abyss.

I think the reason why MHY hasn't unlocked it officially is because the game runs little wonky when running above 60fps. It seems like the game's camera and the onscreen elements update at slightly different intervals resulting in jerky picture despite RTSS reporting smooth framepacing. It's most obvious when opening the map and scrolling, it's just never smooth. Probably some Unity engine shenanigans.

The game apparently had a 120fps option in the beta though, that's what I don't understand,
I have also experienced those subtle issues myself, albeit with a higher cap than 120 (if that matters in any way).

Using it on my main account ar 53 with couple 5 star weapons and characters,already 23 days,no ban. There are really low chance to get banned if its not detected by kernel anti-cheat. But there is still chance, because your client sending twice more data to server with 120 or more fps,so they can ban manually (I recomend using it with spare apple device,since 120 fps are officially unlocked for ipad pros and new iphones) this way manual ban wont happen. Even if they do ban you,i think you can appeal the ban since unlocking FPS is not that devastating violation like internal software/trainers/ahk scripts etc do. It really hurts my eyes when i play 60fps on 240 monitor and 120hz 2020 ipad pro,still dont understand why MihoYo having that big amount of money cant fix unity bugs and bring us great gameplay expirience....

Anti-cheat was updated in 2.4.

This unlocker hasn't been updated for the new patch.

I don't know how it works, but needless to say, be wary. If anyone's going to continue using it, please update us after 1-2 weeks if your account is still safe. miHoYo are zealously aggressive when it comes to any modding whatsoever, even if it's just something to play the game without getting sick.

Also, another reminder the iOS version has 120FPS support while the PC version is still missing numerous things that exist in other games. I've submitted feedback reports and complaints in every single survey they've sent out since the game's launch. No changes whatsoever.

March 18 Edit: Been using this since a week after I originally posted. No issues and I can comfortably play again after 2.4 without getting motion sickness.

using it since update,no ban atm on 2 accs ar56 and ar 47. What do you mean by iOS version has 120fps support? That feature are exclusively for m1 ipad and iphone 13 pro/max. Somehow ipad air4 also have that even without having a 120hz screen. My ipad pro 2020 which is similar performance as iphone 13 pro max still have no support.

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I'm still using this tool as of version 2.4. Just 36-starred the Abyss while running in 120fps couple of days ago. There hasn't been any issues as far as anti-cheat is concerned. The typical stutter issues persist though.

@RealMrDark
Copy link

Theoretically speaking, it should not get you banned.
This Fps Unlocker only changes Fps and Vsync values in the memory which can also be changed in the game settings officially.
So Changing these two values in the memory should not trigger any alarm imo.

Any update on how it went for 2.4? 2.5 is almost out; it feels a bit risky to use again after having no updates since the end of november

Spedemix commented Feb 8, 2022

I've been using it regularly. No issues whatsoever (apart from the frame-pacing problems but those have nothing to do with this tweak, it's Unity problem).

There's no reason to update the tweak if it keeps working.

Just found this today from a Bilibili video, a small number of people commented under that video they got banned for a week or a month while others said no issues for them. I'm suspecting those got banned for some other reasons we all know, but they'll never tell.

What are everyone's thoughts on using the unlocker after the recent bans for the Kaveh exploit?

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that the unlocker and the Kaveh exploit are related, just that maybe the methods may be similar.

One deletes assets to fucking oblivion and may or may not hinder story progression and the other may cause extra instances of damage, speed, etc (delta timing issues). The fps unlocker is okay.

Just let us hope that mihoyos Investigation for third party tools dont hit the good unlocker from here to be fair its not ok to use Hacks etc but i think it needs to be ok using things like fps unlocker or reshade.

Let's be real honest.

This FPS unlocker is a cheat, "technically" (i spoke to one of the "honest" players, and he confirmed that (looked at code or something idk), but he doesn't have a clue why it's still alive). And this is the matter of time when they find out about it (but considering this mod still lives for 2 years straight, it is a small risk of getting banhammered).

They are well aware of this tool, nothing to be paranoid about
If you are able to comprehend the first statement in their "Fair Use Statement" then you'll know why this wouldn't get you banned

It's an exclusivity/business deal with Apple, more likely than not. "You can't get the best of our product unless you play on the best of products"-type scheme. Just think about the PlayStation-exclusive items (Wings/Sword of Descension) or the volumetric cloud system that just magically only happens to be supported with PS5s—it's never going to be a development issue...

@dragonbytes

This is exactly why ACTUAL hacks should be strongly discouraged by us in the community. One of the reasons so many dev companies have a zero tolerance policy is because usually a LITTLE bit of tolerance (like innocent FPS unlockers or playing via Proton under Linux) just encourages ACTUAL hackers and cheaters to see what THEY can get away with. Then ultimately EVERYONE gets banned and ruins things for us all.

Playing since day 1 and Im AR 60 now, you can find my previous post in 2022 up on this thread. Theres no report ever of anyone getting ban for this and it never will. Hoyoverse are well aware of this unlocker existence, they would have ban you instantly trying to start the game with it on if its against their TOS.

The only reason I can think of for them to not have this added in to the game themself is performance issue. They really did not optimise the game for high refresh rate gaming and you will get lots of stutter and frame drop even with high end CPU. I'm talking 80-90 fps here with 5800x3d in many area of sumeru. Now imagine the amount of complaints they will get if someone can't get that magical lock 120 FPS with their grandma laptop.

@Addyctionn
Copy link

AR 60 using the FPS unlocker very often, a lot of money spent on the game, and not banned as of today.
I've been following this thread since maybe a year now. I realized that the stutters are not that bad when using the unlocker. For like a week I set the fps to 60, to try and hide (? the use of the unlocker, but now that I read almost all the thread I think I don't need to worry that much.
I'll update if I get banned or whatever hyv decides to do about this.

RahuX commented Oct 13, 2023

Been using it since pretty early in Inazuma. Despite the very infrequent (I'm talking like 2 or 3 issues total) minor issues that have cropped up (usually some puzzles having audio or slight animation issues), and the occasional update to the game that breaks it which requires an update, it's been smooth sailing.

No bans, no strongly worded emails from Hoyo. Was definitely worried the mod/hacker situation the game had for a bit earlier would result in Hoyo going on the offensive with a buffed up anti-cheat, but nope.

I feel like maybe the only time Hoyo will even consider bopping this mod and anyone who uses it is if they ever decide to grace us with the game just having a higher FPS option, but this game being 3 years old now, and having a 120 FPS option on iOS devices, yeah it's probably not gonna happen.

Hello, i have a question, is there any higher risks or problems if going any higher than 120fps? i want to go for 240fps since i have a 240hz monitor. I don't know if my graphics card can hold it but i want to give it a try.

Thanks in advance for your response!

You'll be fine. I've been capping it at 144 fps for 1.5 years straight, no issues. Although, reaching the 240 fps cap would probably be quite hard, if not impossible in the overworld. Domains and abyss might be able to reach such framerates.
It's mostly CPU dependent, due too poor optimization.

@llDoomSlayerll

AR60 1.0 Player here, been using this tool since 3.0 and pretty safe, although don't expect to be a huge game changer because Unity Engine is extremely single threaded reliant so you will face a CPU Bottleneck even with high tier hardware. (Game engine has terrible cpu utilization leading to a few stutters, long loading times, massive fps drops on cpu bounded scenarios (Cities, too many enemies, etc)).
