Can't beat Ch. 8 at "60 FPS Vsync" option; must change to "30 FPS"

[Silentknyght]

FYI, in case you also encounter this likely bug: you won't be able to outrun the boss at the end of Chapter 8 if your graphical settings are at "60 FPS Vsync". I changed it to "30 FPS" after digging around in these forums, and was able to succeed on first try.

FWIW, the "60 FPS Vsync" option doesn't actually cap my FPS at 60. NVIDIA says I'm getting 108+ (Gsync monitor at 144hz).

Hope this helps.

60fps vsync option is just trying to lock to monitor refresh. Has odd interactions with gsync and 144hz.

It's just badly labeled. You gotta cap it with something like rivatuner if you're on higher refresh screens else the physics and stuff have issues.

I haven't noticed any other physics issues. Do you have examples?

Well animation issues and timing issues is probably the more common. Just the higher you go the more likely things don't work quite as intended. I've had the guy with glasses get stuck half through terrain before when I did uncapped/highframerates. Numerous things seem to recover from animations faster as well.

It just can subtly throw the balancing off and introduce oddities.

Hey, thanks for the tip dude. I read this post while I was downloading the game and just reached the boss you mentioned, instantly remembered this post and turned down to 30 FPS. Thanks a lot! ;)
