The Blood of Dawnwalker: Two Must-Have PC Mods Unlock Frame Rates and Unlimited Time

Bandai Namco’s newly released dark fantasy action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, has already received two essential PC mods addressing key gameplay and performance pain points. Developed by former The Witcher 3 developers on Unreal Engine 5, the title puts players in the shoes of Coen, a newly turned vampire navigating a ticking narrative clock.

While the core mechanics combine vampiric powers with open-world exploration, PC players ran into immediate friction with cinematic frame rate caps and strict mission timers. The modding community has stepped in with fixes for both:

1. Cutscene and Menu FPS Unlocker: Eliminates the default 30 FPS cap during cutscenes and menus. It includes an optional custom frame rate limit and remains fully compatible whether running standard rasterization, DLSS, or Frame Generation. Download the Cinematic FPS Mod.
2. Better Story Timer: Modifies the game's built-in quest countdowns. It allows you to add as many days as desired to complete the story and completely removes trait-related time costs. It quickly climbed to the top of Nexus Mods for players who prefer methodical exploration over strict time pressure. Download the Better Story Timer Mod.

Persistent Issues to Keep in Mind

Despite these community improvements, prominent technical hiccups remain unaddressed. Noticeable camera stuttering continues to affect the PC release across borderless, windowed, and exclusive full-screen display modes, contradicting initial suggestions that full-screen settings would resolve the frame pacing issues. Official patches will likely be necessary to smooth out camera behavior and general engine-level stutter.
