Unlock fps?

[PuttePunschrulle]

I want to play this series, but with a 9800x3d and a 4090 i would like to unlock the fps.
Is there any _good_ way to unlock the fps in this game? (i have tried +toggle com_synctotime in launch options, and it just make the game run fast (hyperspeed)).
I have a 480hz monitor, and i have to go into monitor settings and lower my refreshrate to 240 to even get the game to run -any workararounds on that?

And also a third thing:
The lowest mouse sens is WAAAAY too high for my 1600dpi. Any workarounds on that?

I'd love to grind the whole wolfenstein series, but having to manually lower my monitors refreshrate, and my mouse dpi to play at 60fps kind of makes me want to pass and play something else.

Any tips on any of the above is appreciated. Thx.

I can't take you seriously.

The topic has been chewed over in the last 10 years.

Pass and play something else.

As explained in various topics here and on the The Old Blood's ones, you "can't" play this game correctly at more then 60FPS 'cause the game engine is really crapp, specially with modern hardware.

If you play it with more then 60 fps, the game will be (really) faster and unplayable causing glitch, stutters, tearings, sound delay and off sync voices during the dialogues.

That's what you had with what you called "hyperspeed", it's because your game was uncapped and running above 60fps.

It was impossible to play when I tried with my 144hz monitor "for the science" so I can't even imagine on a 240+

For you mouse DPI problem, check for a software for you mouse who can lower your DPI directly if you can't lower it more directly ingame for your needs.

Thank you for an actual answer.
What a bummer. I guess i'll have to live with manually lowering the refresh rate to 240 and manually lower the dpi, and live with 60fps if i want to play this game.
Are all the sequels the same, with the fps lock and stuff?
I bought them all for just a few bucks on sale, at some point - wanting to play through them at some point, and i feel it's a genuine bummer and the first time for me that older games are basically incompatible with new hardware in this way.

Also, for those who laughs about my 480hz oled. CS2 is pretty damn smooth, and looks pretty damn good at 1440p 480hz locked vrr/g-sync. I guess this rig cost me almost as much as my car, but i also use it for work and is considered an "expense" (which makes it tax free and thus in the end cost about 1/2). You should try it some day

It's the same for The New Order and The Old Blood for sure, and certainly for The New Colossus too as it's the same engine (not launch since a while but I'm quite sure about it).

I can understand you about having a monitor with high hz/fps as I was playing competitive too before

But tbh on this kind of solo games, being capped at 60FPS is really ok and enough to have a really good experience (and specially not having a lot of graphics issues xD).

And iirc for these Wolfenstein games, there are all three capped to 60FPS natively so just turn off you Vsync to be sure and it should run at 60FPS by default without having to use an other program or FPS locker (that's why some people used unlockers to play them with more then 60FPS).

I'm not laughing at you. Sorry if it came across as toxic. I just can't take it seriously :)

The thing is 480hz is just a technical gimmick. The biological limit of conscious perception of refresh rates is typically around 200–250 Hz, where differences become practically indistinguishable for most people. Lowering the refresh rate shouldn't bother you too much because you wont see the difference anyway.

oled image quality is stunning. until you see that cs2 minimap in other games :D

If you can afford it why not. I'm glad for you. :)

Not gonna go the limits of perception here (but if you get the chance to ever compare a locked 240hz/fps against 440, i bet you can easily spot the difference in motion clarity. Even though it's nowhere near the difference between say 60 and 144hz ofc).

That said. My problem is that i have to manually change the settings in windows or the nvidia driver before launching the game, which is cumbersome and annoying. Any other game (even older ones) just runs at whatever fps it's capped to and vrr works.
Same with the mouse, as i can't get low enough sens ingame, i have to use the mouse driver to lower my dpi (which in turn makes have to use around 3 mouspads of movement to move the cursor one screen width in window and my mouse doesn't have a dpi button).

Anyways, i'm a few hours into the game now - and it's good enough to continue, even though i have to say 60fps almost makes me seasick at times.

Thought there might be a "hack" around this, as with many games developed for consoles (often just a simple edit of a line in a config file somewhere.) But it seems to be out of the question in this case.

i use lossless scaling and play at 120fps. it's frame generation so the aim gets a little sligthly "muddy" but it's not a competitive online shooter so... For me a it's a good tradeoff since 60fps hurt my eyes

Why it hurts your eyes ? I don't really understand you. You don't need more than 60 FPS in this game. It's by design, this game is meant to be played @ 60 fps. Your monitor's refresh rate is not affected by in-game fps.
And you could also turn off V-Sync because you don't need it when gaming on high refresh rate monitors, image tearing just disappears when using a 120Hz+ monitor, even with v-sync off. But i doubt this is useful in this case, because the refresh rate locks the fps and not the opposite.

i don't know. it just hurts. it makes me sick.

no ♥♥♥♥ sherlock.

it's the first thing i do in every game.

anyway i highly recommend lossless scaling to everyone who likes to play old games that have a fps cap...

that's all i got for today, go away now.
