How to Run KUNAI at 144FPS

By XeroGoFastXeroGoFast Last updated 20 Mar 2020

KUNAI's basic movement is framerate dependent to the point where a run on 144FPS can be minutes faster than an equal run on 60FPS. As well as this, certain Charged Blade hovers are only possible on high FPS. Full-game runs of KUNAI are done at 144FPS maximum because it is the highest standard framerate that should be attainable for anyone on PC (thankfully the game is not demanding to run to at high framerates).

If you have a 144Hz monitor then the game should target 144FPS by default and no modification is required.

If you have any non-144Hz monitor then you will need to modify one of the game's files in order to target 144FPS instead of your monitors refresh rate.

1) Download one of the following modified dlls made by Seanpr depending on which version of the game you're running. For 1.02 or for 1.03. Download the file to somewhere you can access it easily, like your Desktop.

2) Navigate to your KUNAI directory within Steam. If you don't know where this is, right-click KUNAI in your Steam Library, select Properties, navigate to the LOCAL FILES tab and select "BROWSE LOCAL FILES...".

3) Inside your KUNAI folder navigate to KUNAI_Data->Managed where you should find a file named "Assembly-CSharp.dll". Optional: Copy this file to somewhere you'll remember it, for example a folder on your Desktop named KUNAI Backup.

4) Copy the modified dll you downloaded earlier into the KUNAI->KUNAI_Data->Managed folder and select Replace. Your game should now run at 144FPS regardless of your monitor's refresh rate.

Regardless of whether modification was necessary or not, you also need to have your FPS showing in your recording in order to have a leaderboard valid run. This is necessary in order to make sure nobody is running at higher than 144FPS and gaining an unfair advantage from doing so.

There are some 3rd party programs that monitor FPS in games, like Riviatuner Statistics Server, but this guide will show how to use the default FPS counter in Steam for simplicity.

1) In Steam, navigate to your Settings and select the In-Game tab.

2) Select where you want the In-game FPS counter to show up in the dropdown. Make sure the option you select will actually make the counter visible in your recording layout.

3) Check the "High Contrast color" box to make sure the FPS counter will be clearly visible in any recordings.
