High frame rate

Raise the framerate cap to 240 FPS by hex editing[1]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\resource\bin\
  2. Open DragonStarVarnir.exe in a hex editor such as HxD.
  3. Search for 41 55 55 85 41 and replace with 41 71 1C 87 40.
When finding and replacing these hex values, make sure that the find/replace tools are using the "Hex-values" mode.
Alternatively, the hex value can be changed to use a custom framerate cap by dividing or multiplying the desired framerate cap by 60 (depending if the number is larger or smaller than 60), and then dividing 16.66666603 by the result of that calculation. For example, a 30 FPS cap hypothetically can be achieved by 30 / 60 = 0.5, taking the result of that calculation to do "16.66666603 / 0.5 = 33.33333206", then using HxD's replace tool's floating point number utility to find and replace the 16.66666603 value with 33.33333206.
Raise the framerate cap to 240 FPS by patching DragonStarVarnir.exe[2]
  1. Download the FPS Uncap Patch.
  2. Unpack the archive (using the password mentioned in the file description)
  3. Launch the patcher, and change the target file to <path-to-game>\resource\bin\DragonStarVarnir.exe, before pressing "Start"
