Fear has this annoying bug where at any time the game’s framerate will get worse and worse until you restart it. However there is a fix for it.

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/789-directinput-fps-fix/

For legal reasons the fix can’t be included with the game’s installer. Hopeful this will change in the future, since it’s virtually unplayable without it.

For those of you who do not trust random people on the internet, even those with stickies...

This is GoG's official stance on the matter

This worked really well. I kept playing with my settings trying to figure out what the problem was. But putting this DLL into the folder solved it quick. Thank you.

me too except now my fps is at 500 something at 4k with maed out settings is there a way to cap the fps at 60?

nvidia control panel cleared it up. manage 3d settings>add program>select fear.exe from the drop down>change prefered refresh rate to highest available asuming you set your tv's refresh rate in global settings

I just installed this when I hit a part that chugged too much for too long. Worked like a charm (current Windows 10 build/patches).

FWIW someone in the Steam forums also has a small UI fix, so that you can actually read subtitles and stuff at today's higher resolutions.

Please link that and I'll add it to the OP

I was doing a replay of Extraction Point, but the DirectInput fix didn't work for me. It probably conflicts with GeDoSaTo, which I have to use to break open the 60Hz it forces on my screen.

I've updated an old script of mine to do the ol' classic of disabling Logitech HIDs and figured some of you might need it as well.

Tested on W10 version 1909, 64-bit. Might work on other versions if you get the appropriate devcon.exe.
It also restarts Logitech Gaming Software after re-enabling the HIDs.

If you don't trust the included devcon.exe or need the 32-bit version, you can download it straight from the Microsoft servers with these instructions: https://superuser.com/a/1099688

What is this for? Can you explain this to me? Thanks

this patch is essential for those playing on windows 7 and above.

Same here. Was working great last year, but some update or another messed it up. Game's working fine, though.

If this is needed, though, maybe GOG should just put it in the installer?
