Unlock 120+ FPS in Elden Ring: Nightreign – Full 2025 PC Mod & Performance Guide

on
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a breathtaking experience—but many players feel limited by the 60 FPS cap on PC. If you're running a high refresh-rate monitor, you’ve likely noticed the cap holding you back from silky-smooth gameplay.

The good news? You can unlock higher frame rates (up to 120 FPS or more), but it comes with some trade-offs—especially around multiplayer and anti-cheat protections.

⚠️ Disclaimer – Read Before You Unlock

Unlocking the FPS cap in Elden Ring: Nightreign requires disabling Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). This will:

  • Disable online play (you’ll be limited to offline or modded co-op).

  • Risk bans if you re-enable EAC with modded files still active.

  • Void game integrity for official servers.

✅ Only proceed if you're comfortable playing offline or with Seamless Co-op mods.

🚀 Method 1: Unlock FPS Using a Safe Mod (Best Way)

Unlock 120+ FPS in Elden Ring: Nightreign
Step 1 – Disable Easy Anti-Cheat

  1. Navigate to your install folder (e.g. \Steam\steamapps\common\Elden Ring Nightreign\).

  2. Rename:

    • start_protected_game.exe ➝ start_protected_backup.exe

    • eldenringnightreign.exe ➝ start_protected_game.exe

  3. Launch the game using the new start_protected_game.exe to bypass EAC.

Step 2 – Install the UnlockTheFps Mod

  1. Download the UnlockTheFps.dll mod from Nexus Mods.

  2. Install the Elden Mod Loader.

  1. Drop UnlockTheFps.dll into your mods folder.

  2. In mods/UnlockTheFps/config.ini, set:

    fps_limit=120
vsync=false

  3. Launch the game and enjoy uncapped FPS.

✅ Best for single-player or Seamless Co-op players looking for a stable high-FPS experience.

🧠 Method 2: Use Lossless Scaling + Frame Generation (No Mods)

Setup (Great for RTX & Intel Arc Users):

  1. Download Lossless Scaling from Steam.

  2. Enable LSFG 3.0 (Frame Generation).

  3. Set:

    • Multiplier: 2x

    • API: WGC

    • Sync Mode: Off

    • Queue Target: 0

  4. Launch Elden Ring Nightreign in borderless windowed mode.

⚠️ Results vary. This method may add some input latency or blur.

🎮 Bonus: Enable NVIDIA Smooth Motion (RTX 50 Series Only)

If you're running an NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU, open the NVIDIA App and enable Smooth Motion for up to 120 FPS frame generation.

  • This works even without disabling EAC.

  • No file modifications required.

  • Still under testing—check for artifacts or latency.

🤝 Want to Play Co-Op? Try Seamless Multiplayer

Use the Seamless Co-op Mod for a multiplayer experience without EAC.
