For an entire console generation, From Software delivered games with a stuttering 30fps - what we call inconsistent/'bad' frame-pacing. But a simple three-line code fix seems to eliminate the problem entirely... but only if you have a hacked PlayStation 4 console. Rich tries out the 'fixed' versions of Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro and the network test version of Elden Ring - and they work. So what's the catch?

These patches are produced by Illusion - read his blog for the details: https://illusion0001.com/patches/2022/04/18/Fromsoftware-Framepacing/

Illusion's YouTube video showing the issue is here... and his channel is an interesting showcase for what a hacked PS4 can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxsnY6l-iPI
