60 fps lock

[KAZOO]

Always been a fan of this game, wanted to play the campaign again. But i just can't play this on 60 fps.

Tried Special K and many other things on the net but in-game it just won't go past 60fps. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. Special K didn't work for me.

Anyone have a fix?

yes dx11 is broken on some of the graphic cards, your best bet is to force the game to run on dx9, i have the same problem as you, 20 fps on lowest settings dx11 and 60 fps highest settings dx9, follow this guide closely https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2626786397

Like i said before i'm not playing the multiplayer so if there is anyone else that only wants more FPS in the campaign:

- Install dx9 like the guide suggests
- and download the launcher like the guide suggests

then go here:

Follow the instructions

Ingame you should ENABLE V-sync. So far this is the most confusing part about this whole issue. And make sure you run the game in DX9.

It took me half an evening and another hour to fix this so hopefully i can help some of you out.

i think its a physics based lock so you cant change fps

Nah, got it to work mate. 165fps. Doesn't break the game or anything.

Game can do above 60 fps on AMD GPUs on high refresh rate monitors in DX11 .... IF you use VSR. So like downsampling from 1440p to a 1080p monitor for example. Playing at native resolution or bellow doesn't work.

This Guide didn't work on my Nvidia card.
To get framerates above 60 (on DX11) all I had to do was:

- Disable G-Sync (set "Fixed refresh rate" on Nvidia control panel ( NCP),
- Set Vsync to Fast, on NCP.
- Set Vsync to ON, in your game settings.

Set your graphics options so that fps will always be above the refresh rate of your screen.
>> game fps will be higher than 60 but Keep in mind that your screen refresh rate will still be locked to 60Hz by the game<<

- Fast Vsync >> works,
-"disabled" or "use 3D aplication settings" >> Fps above 60 + tearing.
-"Enabled" or " Adaptative" >> locked to 60fps.

Don't change anything on your screen settings, only on NCP..

i've added the following lines to the end of my default.cfg:

TextureStreamingMemoryLimit 4096
TextureStreamingDistanceLimit 10000

bdevgoreoverride True
HavokNumThreads 6
ViewDistanceQuality 3
ViewDistanceQuality High

fNearDistance 10.0000
fFarDistance 10000.0000

UsePrecaching True
AdapterNumber -1
ReduceMouseLag True
TesselationFactor 1.000000

Sounds the game was well bad optimized when it released out, but dont worry a lot of people are helping you if you follow what they had said then, i wish ubisoft make updates for improve performance and fix bugs or instead make a remastered verison of it.

All this does is decouples the input buffer from the game's internal render buffer (which is 60Hz), People are asking to make the game match the internal render refresh rate to your monitor's refresh rate. Your method reduces the input lag a little bit but it doesn't fix the animations including the camera panning and mouse cursor stuck at 60FPS.

The other guide mentioned earlier works on my Nvidia GPU as long you are in DX9 mode. It is a night a day going from 60Hz to 240Hz mode, camera panning and in-game mouse cursor is now buttery smooth and all animations in the game are properly interpolated to 240Hz.

All I had to do was check vsync on the ingame graphic settings, now it is 165hz!
