Requires running as Administrator and launching Roblox through the tool instead of the normal launcher, may trigger antivirus or Roblox terms-of-service issues.

No license information is provided in the README.

So what is it?

Roblox normally limits the game to 60 frames per second on PC. This is a Windows utility written in C++ that removes that cap, allowing players to run Roblox at higher frame rates such as 144 or 240 frames per second, provided their monitor and graphics hardware support it. The project claims this produces smoother gameplay and reduced input lag. The tool is distributed as a prebuilt ZIP archive containing a Windows executable. Installation involves downloading the archive, extracting it, running the application as Administrator, setting a desired frame rate target in the tool itself, and then launching Roblox through the unlocker rather than through the normal Roblox launcher. The README notes the tool is optimized for Windows 11. A troubleshooting table covers the most common problems: the application not starting (run as Administrator, disable antivirus temporarily), the FPS limit not actually lifting (the user must open Roblox via the tool), crashes (update to the latest release), and an FPS overlay not appearing (enable it in the tool settings). The README includes a disclaimer that the project is for educational and personal use, and that the authors take no responsibility for account issues or terms of service violations. Roblox's terms of service prohibit third-party tools that modify the client, so using this carries real risk of account action. The repository does not include buildable source code or explain technically how the frame cap bypass works. The project is tagged with topics related to exploit development, which is consistent with a tool that modifies game client behavior at runtime.
