Problem with refresh rate

[» carlos]

How do I launch the game with 144 hz refresh rate? Because right now it starts with 60 hz refresh rate, but my windows is set on 144 hz. It's not a problem in other games, only this, it seems. A temporary fix is to minimize the game and change it back to 144 hz in Windows CP, but I'm looking for a permanent fix. It's very frustrating.

Useful info about my setup & game version:
Windows 10 (latest updates installed), Nvidia graphics card (latest drivers installed), GTASA v1.0 (Clean install, no mods installed except for SA:MP)

idk, you didnt helped me 2 years ago so i hope u searched on google how to play gtasa with 144hz monitor :)



if you didnt found because you are a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ape or idk:

- Use a enb series and dont forget this:
[ENGINE]
ForceDisplayRefreshRate=1
DisplayRefreshRateHZ=144


- Start gta sa, right click on desktop, display options, change your frequency back to 144hz, enjoy

Doesn't work for me. It continues to open at 60Hz instead of 155Hz.

Maybe you're meant to play the game at 60Hz and It changes?

There is a .asi mod that does that, it's called RefreshRateFixByDarkP1xel32.ASI. To run this .asi file, u also need Silent's ASI Loader, to run this fix.

ASI Loader - https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=21709
The RefreshRateFixByDarkP1xel32.ASI will be identified as a virus (if u have the windows defender active), but it's not because i've used it many times.
If the mod doesn't work, u have to downgrade the game first (have'nt test it on the original steam version)

Open Regedit, go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw", make a dword called ForceRefreshRate with a decimal value of 144. Do the same in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DirectDraw". This will force all older games to work at 144 Hz (DX10 and below).

I'm going to check if you're right, if not I will find you
