Frames per second capped at 30? Is the "fix"/workaround actually usable?
Apart from the loading issues many seem to have or had at the release, I've seen a few threads that say that the game is capped at 30fps.
And as there is a guide to unlock the framerate, I guess it's normally running capped on 30fps.

Why I normally wouldn't mind tweaking config files or whatever to get to 60fps (I rather not play a game, then play it on 30fps), doing it in this game makes the QTEs harder?

Could anyone that has used this "fix"/workaround tell me how much this impacts the gameplay/QTEs?
I'm interested in the game and seeing as it is on sale at the moment I don't want to spend money on a horrible port. Probably shouldn't in the first place as it has a capped framerate.

There's a fix on the game's PCGamingWiki page: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Killer_Is_Dead#High_frame_rate

People did complain when it came out and there are a few threads about this, but I guess since the issue has been known since then and nothing really changed from the developers side, there wasn't really a reason to keep complaining, as the workaround does work fine as far as I know.
Though I didn't find any information if this would work without any problems, which was the reason I'm asked.

I haven't started this game yet, and don't intend to play at 30fps, but I hear that uncapping to 60 messes with the in game QTEs/button prompts? Is that true?

Yes, I have the game but didn't get around to play it yet. As far as I know this does change one or two QTEs that you can fix by changing a few more lines in a config file. Look here for more info:

You all know Steam has that "guides" tab up there, right? Pretty much all Steam games do. And almost always you can find some game improving/fixing things from there. Especially with ones using Unreal Engine. And true enough, such is in this case with the 60/120 fps fix thing-y for KID.
