Red Alert 3 - 60FPS Patch

Unlocks the FPS cap in Red Alert 3 v1.12, raising it from 30 to 60 FPS.
Game logic runs at normal speed — only the render rate is increased.

How It Works

The patch modifies a single 4-byte value (render_fps) in ra3_1.12.game.
Because v1.12 keeps render FPS and logic FPS as separate variables, changing
the render FPS does not affect game speed.

The patched file is renamed to ra3_1.13.game so Steam loads it automatically
via RA3_english_1.13.SkuDef — no wrapper required.

Installation

1. Copy Data\60FPS\ra3_1.13.game from this repo to your game's Data folder:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer Red Alert 3\Data\
   

2. Rename it to ra3_1.13.game (overwrite the existing file)
3. Launch from Steam — done.

How the Patch Works (Technical)

Open ra3_1.12.game in a hex editor and write the 60 FPS value at FileOffset 0x8AD5F4:

FPS	Bytes (hex)
30	1E 00 00 00
60	3C 00 00 00

Then rename the file to ra3_1.13.game and place it in the Data folder.
Detailed technical notes are in PATCH_NOTES.md.

Notes

• Tested on v1.12 only. The v1.13 binary couples render and logic FPS
  together, so this patch method does not apply to it.
• Online multiplayer may detect a version mismatch since the binary is v1.12.
  Works fine for offline and LAN play.
