Cannot remove 62 fps framerate cap. Help?

[pizzaparty]

So I've ran a benchmark and I'm able to get into the 130+ fps average. I know about the 62 fps framerate cap, but for some reason all of the fixes I've read about aren't working.

Go into D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\Engine\Config\BaseEngine

and change the following. So far I have tried:

bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=5
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=121

and

bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE (I've also tried "False")
MinSmoothedFrameRate=5
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=121

and added


bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

to the very bottom of the config file, but nothing is actually allowing me to go over 62 fps. Can someone help me out here that has dealt with this. I've read of a few people using this fix successfully, and I cannot tell what I am doing differently. I have also tried all of the above with enabled/disabled V-Sync in the settings. Still 62 fps.

SPECS:
GTX 570 (overclocked)

These are the directions I just found:

Framerate Cap

Just like many other UE3 games, Batman: Arkham City employs framerate smoothing by default. This has the effect of limiting framerates to 62, which is obviously not useful for performance testing. To get around this, we simply changed the smoothing parameters. In the "..\Steam\steamapps\common\batman2\BmGame\Config\DefaultEngine.ini" file, we modified the "MinSmoothedFrameRate=24" and "MaxSmoothedFrameRate=62" lines, found under the "[Engine.GameEngine]" section. We changed the "MinSmoothedFrameRate" value to 0 and the "MaxSmoothedFrameRate "value to 999. This effectively disabled the 62 FPS cap.


Perhaps you're having problems because your framerate range is not large enough? Try the range above, which sets it from 0 to 999, but leave the SmoothFrameRate at TRUE.

Let me know how it goes :)

There also appear to be framerate settings in
C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham City GOTY\BmGame\Config\

There are a couple framerate smoothing things in a file called "bmengine" in there. Some other files also have some stuff that looks like it's loosely related.

Thread necro to say that Flaccid's post gave me the clue to unlock the frame-rate. It's the BmEngine file in C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham City GOTY\BmGame\Config\

bSmoothFrameRate and the Min- and MaxSmoothedFrameRate parameters appear twice in the file, once under [Engine.Engine], and once under [Engine.GameEngine]. It was the [Engine.GameEngine] one that unlocked it for me. I changed the settings of both (set the Min to 0 and the Max to 999), just to be safe.

Prior to trying any of that, I changed the BaseEngine file in game's system folder just like Mr. Pickle did, but didn't see the framerate unlock. It's definitely the config file in My Documents that does it.

Now that the frame-rate is unlocked, I'm seeing 200 fps in the menus, and around 90 in-game, with peaks up to 140.
Windows 7 x64
Core i5 4590

Game is installed to the C drive (SSD)

Btw, you might have to set the BmEngine file to Read-Only to prevent the re-activation of the fps cap. Doing so will mean you won't be able to change any graphics settings without first removing the Read-Only status.

Unrelated: didn't know there was a "AllowMatureLanguage" setting for BAC. It defaults to False. I switched it to True of course.

Well if it worked, at least you don’t need to bring back a dead thread
