FPS Mysteries

[LinK]

Hi guys, I have a couple questions.

1) I have vsync enabled and during menus and gameplay I have a consistent 120fps, but my monitor is only 60hz, how do I not have tearing and why 120 and not 60?.

2) During cutscenes I'm capped at 30fps, how can I remove the cap?

AMD FX9590 (8 core @ 4.7ghz), 2 R9 290Xs in Crossfire.

I am also getting a cutscene cap of 30 FPS on cutscenes :(

I don't remember if I found a workaround...but since I've long since beat the game and have no intention of ever playing it again, I no longer care.

What's the issue with 120.. if it's not tearing? You act like it's a bad thing.

Was moreso curiosity. Curiosity as to how the heck I don't have tearing when the framerate exceeds my refresh rate. Curiosity as to how/why vsync locked it to 120 which was clearly double my refresh rate and the point of vsync is to lock to ones refresh rate.

#2 was the "bad" thing.

Again, it's been quite a while since I beat the game, I barely remember what it was like, and I have no intention of playing it again. So don't really care if I get answers now.

Will gladly necro-post the solution here rather than making a new thread...

Go to: C:\Users\***YourProfileNameHere***\AppData\Local\BladesOfTime\settings.blk

Open the settings.blk by either C&P the address, or the blk file itself and un-check the box that says: "always use this app to open..." and instead, choose the notepad or word pad and navigate to this area:

video{
windowed:b=no
video:b=yes
vsync:b=yes
min_target_size:i=2048
vsync30fps:b=yes <--[Change this, to this!]--> vsync60fps:b=yes
postfx_antialiasing:t="high"
resolution:t="1440x900"
}
And, voila! say fv<k off to that s#itty 30FPS bulls#|t!

Oh, and you can enable god-mode here as well!

Didn't work for me. I am running the game windowed, if that makes a difference

Old but gold, it just worked for me, thank you!!

Sorry to necro, been trying to get it to run at 60fps as opposed to 120 as I like to keep my GPU running cool. Not end of the world if it there are no fixes though, i tried setting v-sync in the blk file to 60 with yes but it's still 120.

Actually, nevermind. The game runs pretty cool on my GPU despite being 120fps! Some games can be a bit hit or miss in this regard but this one wont be a problem!

Fps doesn't really effect temps that much. And this game isn't graphically intense. If I were you, for any game, just try for the highest fps that doesn't exceed your refresh rate....unless you don't have gsync/freesync, then you'll need to cap. With this game though, if you have a 60hz monitor and the fps is 120 you won't get tearing because it's exactly double the refresh.
