- Download the latest release from https://github.com/axstin/rbxfpsunlocker/releases
- Extract
rbxfpsunlocker-x64.zip
orrbxfpsunlocker-x86.zip
into a folder - Run
rbxfpsunlocker.exe
before or after starting Roblox - Enjoy those beautiful frames 👌
- Some files are being deleted and/or my anti-virus is detecting rbxfpsunlocker as malware. What do I do?
Any detections are most likely a false positive. If you don't trust me, feel free to download the repository and compile the project from source. Otherwise, add an exception to your anti-virus for rbxfpsunlocker.exe
(or the folder it is in).
- How can I see my FPS?
Press Shift+F5
in-game to view your FPS. In Roblox Studio, go to View->Stats->Summary.
- I used this unlocker and my framerate is the same or below 60. Why?
I say with great emphasis, as this seems to be a common misconception, that Roblox FPS Unlocker is an FPS unlocker and not a booster. It will not boost Roblox's performance in any way and only removes Roblox's 60 FPS limit. To take advantage of RFU, a computer powerful enough to run Roblox at more than 60 FPS is required.
This being said, if you know your computer is powerful enough but still aren't seeing higher framerates with the unlocker, feel free to submit an issue.
- Can I set a custom framerate cap?
Custom framerate limits can be set by changing the FPSCap
value inside the settings
file located in the same folder as rbxfpsunlocker.exe
and reloading settings (RFU->Load Settings). Changing the cap with RFU's menu will reset/overwrite this value.
- Does this work for Mac?
No. Roblox FPS Unlocker was written only for the Windows platform and I currently have no plans to change this. However, those more experienced and with Mac hardware are free to port this project to Mac!
Around June 21st, 2018 I received reports that Roblox was handing out bans to players using this tool. Roblox most likely assumes that rbxfpsunlocker.dll
is an exploit or a cheat. I fixed this issue in release 1.6 and can confirm injecting rbxfpsunlocker is now "invisible" to Roblox. HOWEVER, this won't stop Roblox from releasing a new detection in the future. Please use this tool at your own risk and keep in touch with this repository for updates.
roblox this isn't an exploit no bans please :(
EDIT: Version 4.0 of Roblox FPS Unlocker further reduces the risk of bans or warns (one could argue the chances are now 0) as DLL injection is no longer used. See the changelog for more information.
EDIT (August 11, 2019): At the engineering panel on day 1 of RDC 2019, Adam Miller, VP of Engineering & Technology at Roblox, made a personal guarantee that anyone using Roblox FPS Unlocker will not be banned from Roblox. This was in response to the question "Why does Roblox have a FPS cap and why is it against the rules to change that cap?" to which Arseny Kapoulkine (zeuxcg) also revealed that Roblox will be adding support for "higher refresh rate monitors" potentially by next year.
