I broke my Touhou 6 FPS Patch, please help

[reimubootlicker]

Hello all,

I was trying to adjust my Touhou 6 ini file to achieve borderless windowed, but now the game runs at unlimited FPS. I had gotten a dual monitor setup so I was looking forward to playing it while also being able to see my stream on my second display. I'm attaching my vpatch ini file screenshot. The game runs in the upper right corner of my main display, but I also want it to be the whole screen.

I don't want to lose my scores, especially since I unlocked the Extra stage and I'm also playing through that.

Thank you all very much

Does vpatch function at all? If not, you could reset it by redownloading it and replacing the vpatch files. You could get them from over here, from the touhouwiki. There's a "Download" button right below where the summary's title is, "Vsync Patches." I don't really know "why" it doesn't work though, so you might run into the same issue if you do the same things, though then you might be able to notice what breaks it. If you won't be able to achieve borderless fullscreen with vpatch, there's this tool on Github that I heard about called "Borderless-Gaming", which might work? Though note: I didn't check the source code, I just heard it recommended by one guy and one site (separately).

Besides vpatch, I think applying d3d8to9 or DXVK should fix that.

Thank you Deliverer8099, I was able to get Touhou 6 working in borderless windowed. I'm going to explain what I did here in case anybody else also needs help with this.

The vpatch stopped working even when I replaced the files, so I redownloaded Touhou 6 from here and copied over the "score.dat" file that I already had, so I kept all my data. Then, I edited "vpatch.ini" to ask for windowed mode. I put the game in windowed mode, and then I used the Borderless Gaming application from Github to make it borderless.

Now it works, like a charm, and it is no longer playing in 4:3 as well. I look forward to streaming my gameplay to my friends.

As an alternative, @Deliverer8099 mentioned the DX8 to DX9 patch. Unlimited FPS in Touhou 6 usually happens when you don't have the DX8 to DX9 patch, but with it the problem should be fixed on exclusive fullscreen. I don't remember if from Moriya the game comes with that patch, but if it doesn't then you can get it here:

I am also not sure if Moriya has the patch, but I think it does since I'm not encountering the issue anymore

I'm curious - does tabbing out still cause the game to stop/pause? Someone in the Discord wants to know how to prevent that, and I wonder if your setup does it or not.
