Refresh Rate on display 60hz vs 75hz

Appears there are no options for anything of 60hz at any resolution. Is that the same for everyone? Will adding -refresh 75 to the end of my coh2.exe for a higher refresh rate?

yes, you can do -refresh 75 (or whatever you want) for a higher refresh rate but that might cause artifacts with the pre-rendered (in game) cinematics as they were rendered at 30hz so non multiples of 30 will have to drop or duplicate frames to match the 75hz rate. Also forcing 75 you might not actually get 75 since we pick the closest one reported to be supported by your monitor to avoid damaging it.

BTW, COH2 refresh rates displayed on the options are actually the refresh rates that the windows graphics card driver and monitor report as supported, e.g. if it says 59.97 and things like that instead of 60hz that means it is what windows would really set when you say 60Hz the main reason to show them all e.g. if you see one 59.94 (double ntsc rate) and 59.99 and 60.01 is that some monitors lie about this to the drivers and report those resolutions but actually some will cause artifacts and since there is no way to know which ones will cause issues or not we allow selecting the specific ones to avoid users getting stuck in one that is not optimal. by default COH2 will pick automatically the closest to the current desktop resolution refresh rate unless you select a different one.

thanks, I'm able to use 75hz on all my games and both nvidia and control panel show 75hz being available but not showing up in game menu. I tried to force using the -refresh 75, but don't think it worked, for me it hurts my eyes at anything under 75hz for some reason. Will keep playing around with it, thanks for the response.
