Using BGMI 90FPS configuration files to tweak game data may lead to a ban, according to official rules

BGMI (also called Battlegrounds Mobile India) was officially launched on July 2, 2021. After a long wait, a few controversies, and a lot of buzz, BGMI hit the Play Store and Android users were overjoyed.

As a lot of fans made their way to Erangel, some players pointed out the absence of 90FPS in Battlegrounds Mobile India. For smoother gameplay and easier controls, players often go for 90 Frames Per Seconds mode.

However, tinkering with the in-built 60FPS mode with config files can result in a permanent ban. Take a look at what the official Krafton support page has to say about it.

As can be seen in the picture above, a player can be barred from BGMI for several reasons. The BGMI anti-cheating system can detect modified files and ban that player's account.

Statements two and three clearly mention that any access through third-party apps that change files or make any illegal changes to the game files will result in a ban.

What are config files?

Config files, also called configuration files, are some files that can alter the original setting of a program. In the context of a game, these files hold the customization values that make the game functional. Modifying these files can alter the game settings.

Players who modify the config files gain an unfair edge over other competitors. Unlocking 90FPS may not give a player much of a competitive advantage. However, it is against the BGMI terms and conditions that a player accepts while installing and signing into the game.
