Proper 60+ FPS

High framerates are supported in certain cutscenes and the menu, but not during gameplay.
Characters and camera are locked to 30 FPS, which makes game look stuttery.^[6]^[7]

Use Physics Patcher^[8]

Hex edit a data file

Go into <path-to-game>\GrowHome_Data and open mainData with a hex editor (eg. HxD).
Search for 0A D7 A3 3C 02 2B 87 (hex value) located at the 0F B2 F0 address.
Replace it with 8A 88 88 3C 60 45 61.
Save the file.

Notes

This method modifies the camera update frametime unlocking it from 30 FPS to 60 FPS multipliers (tested up to 240 FPS).

NOTE: game physics depends on your FPS/Hz screen refresh rate: f.e. at 240fps/Hz BUD will jump higher... So, in addition, capping the game at 60fps is highly recommended.

More hints, improved performance settings etc. available at original Steam guide. ^[9]
