Version history

What changed, and why.

Every release back to the first one. Note the Removed entries as much as the additions — a tweak getting pulled because it turned out to be a myth is the part most “booster” tools never show you.

v1.4.0

current

Diagnostics gets a brain, and the app gets an icon sidebar.

  • AddedDiagnostics now detects HVCI / Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) and flags it as a likely FPS cost, with a link to the safe way to turn it off.
  • AddedHonest in-app labels surfaced on every debated option — DEBATED, PLACEBO, WARNING — so the reason is right next to the checkbox.
  • ChangedRebuilt the UI around an icon sidebar: Tweaks, Diagnostics, BIOS advice and Revert are now distinct panels instead of one long list.
  • ChangedDiagnostics also reports GPU driver age, monitor refresh-rate headroom, RAM speed vs. rated, TRIM and MSI-mode state in one scan.
  • FixedRefresh-rate read no longer reports the wrong value on multi-monitor setups; it now reads the primary display.

v1.3.2

Controller advice and a quieter NIC tweak.

  • AddedController polling-rate advice added to the exported guide (Hidusbf, wired only, with the unsigned-driver and USB-stability caveats spelled out).
  • FixedNIC power-saving tweak now skips EEE / Green Ethernet / Flow Control cleanly when the driver doesn’t expose them, instead of logging a scary error.
  • FixedRevert correctly restores DNS to DHCP when the Cloudflare tweak had been applied to a renamed adapter.

v1.3.0

BIOS/overclock advice export and MSI mode.

  • AddedExportable BIOS / overclock / controller advice tuned to the detected rig (reference: Ryzen 5 4500, RX 580, 16 GB) — DOCP/EXPO, Resizable BAR, PBO, the RX 580 memory quirk.
  • AddedMSI-mode tweak: ensures the GPU and PCI NIC use Message-Signaled Interrupts for lower DPC latency (verify-and-set; reboot to apply).
  • ChangedDynamic-tick (bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes) is now the only timer tweak the app exposes, clearly marked experimental.
  • RemovedPulled the HPET, useplatformclock and “timer resolution” tweaks for good — myths on modern Windows and harmful on Ryzen.

v1.2.1

Debloat gets safer about what it keeps.

  • FixedDebloat list tightened so it never touches the Store, Xbox, app runtimes or shell components — only a known promo/bloat list.
  • FixedDeprovision step no longer errors on editions where a provisioned package was already absent.

v1.2.0

The Extreme tier: safe debloat and deep tweaks.

  • AddedExtreme tier — reinstallable debloat plus deprovision (so removed apps stay gone), telemetry down, and background apps off.
  • AddedNon-essential services set to Manual (never Disabled), skipping Print Spooler and Windows Search and never touching networking/audio/security/update.
  • AddedCut background processes: Edge startup-boost and OneDrive auto-start, with both still opening normally on demand.
  • ChangedTelemetry scheduled tasks (Compatibility Appraiser, CEIP, error-report upload) now disabled as a group, with a note that big Windows updates can re-enable them.

v1.1.1

Revert hardening and a Fortnite backup fix.

  • FixedFortnite tuning now backs up GameUserSettings.ini before writing and locks the new file read-only, so a launcher update can’t silently overwrite your competitive config.
  • FixedRevert.bat now writes to a timestamped backup folder, so two runs on the same day no longer overwrite each other’s undo data.
  • ChangedMouse-acceleration toggle moved under the responsiveness tweak so a single revert restores pointer behavior cleanly.

v1.1.0

The Basic tier, plus one-click Revert.

  • AddedBasic tier — the latency/FPS core: Ultimate Performance with no core parking, MMCSS “Games” profile, foreground priority, NIC power-saving off, SSD TRIM verify.
  • AddedAuto Fortnite config: detects the install, writes low-latency settings, sets the process priority to High (pre-staged even if Fortnite isn’t installed yet).
  • AddedRevert.bat — a one-click undo written next to a backup of every value the app changed.
  • AddedStops the Epic Games Launcher auto-starting (only acts if it’s actually present).

v1.0.0

First release — the free essentials.

  • AddedFirst public build. Free tier: four universally-safe tweaks as a 2.4 KB FrameForge-Free.bat.
  • AddedA System Restore point is created before the first change on every run.
  • AddedGame Mode on, Game DVR / background capture off, instant menus and startup apps, and a temp-file clean (Prefetch left untouched).
  • AddedActivates the Ultimate Performance power plan as the base for everything above it.

Versioning

FrameForge follows semantic versioning: a new tweak or panel bumps the minor (1.x.0), a fix bumps the patch. The site, the tweak library, and the app are generated from one shared catalog, so what you read here matches what the v1.4.0 build actually does.
