Why is the game capped at 60fps?

[tabuu9 | trade.tf]

I love playing games at 60fps, and the framerate cap with V-Sync on is aggravating. Will there be a fix for this?

haha, no

Why does it matter for a game where time is slowed to a crawl? I'm not trying to be a smartass or a ♥♥♥♥ or anything and I get why high framerate is better in most games but in this game I just don't see the point.

As for why maybe it's tied into the speed somehow?

I know the system IS capable of 60fps despite its mobile GPU (60FPS MGRR) and disabling VSync lets it run at 60fps, but with tons of tearing.

Visual fluidity tends to be less stressful / motion sickness inducing.

You want a tissue?

I don't care how "fluid" or smooth it looks on 240hz monitor. Color reproduction will be too bad on it.

What refresh rate is your display set to? Mine's at 120hz and all I had to do to get 120fps in SUPERHOT was enable in-game v-sync.

^ It's a unity game, and as such it's very common for the devs to set a framerate cap when v-sync is disabled so incompetent players don't overwork their systems for no reason, instead of implementing a cap option like they should do. But yes, the game does support 120FPS with the in-game V-sync disabled. This v-sync is horrendous and will force the displayed frames down to 60, even with the tiniest drop below 120, but luckily the game is easy to run... It's not a great way to do things, as using adaptive v-sync needs in-game to be off, which is a useless mode here considering the instant cap to 60, targetFrameRate in unity IIRC.

I'd say the refresh rate was 60Hz.
My iMac is capable of 60fps in many heavy games like Metal Gear Rising (with frequent dips bc of the mobile GPU, but just for a few seconds during Blade Mode), Team Fortress 2 (in a decently-populated server), and Portal 2 with effects set to Maximum. All with VSYNC on.

And, alas, a game that might be rendered at 59FPS is now being rendered at 30.
