How To Enable Frame Gen in Silent Hill F

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-09-28 13:22:06
While Silent Hill F stands out for its generally stable performance in a rocky landscape of recent PC releases, it's not without its technical hiccups. Players have reported noticeable traversal stutters and the frustrating limitation of in-game cutscenes being locked to 30 FPS. But what if you could unlock a smoother, more responsive experience?
The key lies in a hidden graphical feature already embedded within the game's engine: AMD's FidelityFX Frame Generation (FG). This guide will walk you through the simple process of activating this setting to significantly boost your frame rate, reduce stuttering, and elevate cutscenes to a buttery-smooth 60 FPS—all without downloading any mods.


Why Enable Frame Generation in Silent Hill F?


Activating Frame Gen is a game-changer for performance. Here’s what you can expect:
  • Higher Frame Rates (FPS): Experience a substantial boost in frames per second, making exploration and combat feel significantly more fluid.
  • Smoother Gameplay: Frame Generation can help mitigate the impact of the game's traversal stutters, leading to a more consistent and enjoyable experience.
  • 60 FPS Cutscenes: Break free from the 30 FPS cap. This hidden setting allows cutscenes to run at double the framerate, making narrative moments as smooth as the core gameplay.


Step-by-Step Guide to Enable Frame Gen


This method involves creating a simple configuration file that tells the game to activate its built-in Frame Generation technology. Follow these steps carefully.
Important Prerequisites:
  • This guide is for the PC version of the game.
  • Ensure you have a compatible graphics card that supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) Frame Generation.

Instructions:
  • Open the Run Dialog: Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to launch the "Run" program.
  • Navigate to AppData: In the Run window, type %localappdata% and press Enter. This will open your user's Local AppData folder in File Explorer.
  • Locate the Game's Config Folder: Inside the AppData folder, navigate to the following directory:
    SHfSavedConfigWindows
  • Create a New Configuration File: Inside the "Windows" folder, right-click in an empty space, select New, and then choose Text Document.
  • Rame the File Correctly: Rename this new text file to Engine.ini. Crucially, you must change the file extension from ".txt" to ".ini". Windows will warn you about changing the file extension; confirm by clicking "Yes".
  • Edit the File: Right-click the newly created Engine.ini file and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
  • Input the Frame Gen Command: Copy and paste the following two lines of code exactly as shown:

    text

  • [SystemSettings]r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1


  • Save and Set to Read-Only: Save the file and close Notepad. Now, right-click the Engine.ini file again and select Properties. At the bottom of the General tab, check the box that says Read-only. Click Apply and then OK.

  • You're all set! Launch Silent Hill F, and the hidden Frame Generation feature will be active. You shouldimmediately notice a performance uplift and smoother cutscenes.


    Crucial Tips for Success


    To ensure this tweak works flawlessly, keep two critical points in mind:


    • File Extension is Key: Double-check that your file is named Engine.ini and not Engine.ini.txt. You may need to enable "Show file extensions" in Windows File Explorer View options to see this correctly.
    • Don't Skip Read-Only: Setting the file to "Read-only" prevents the game from overwriting or deleting your custom configuration when it launches.
